Mystery Girl

the sweet voice that lulls me to sleep
the tender heart I long to keep
so innocent yet so intriguing
fighting hard to resist the feeling
I’m not good enough never will be
the looks she gives me slowly kill me
the look in her eyes is clouded by sorrow
the words she says just sound so hollow
id do anything to hold her close help her through
whisper to her that ill always be there for you
she doesn’t see me never saw me
it doesn’t stop my feelings however discreet
she knows I like her and always have
so why does she keep running me around the track
so beautiful it warms the soul
so tender she was made to hold
so sweet it makes anyone smile
she makes me giggle like a child
She’s way to good I know it and hate it
but its time for me to just come and face it
my lady of mystery you make me smile
hope to see you soon or in awhile

Past Is Past

an old friend you hear her voice
in your mind you have the choice
you got hurt before the scars still show
was it long enough can you just let go?
you poor your heart out and just hear no
the flood of emotions seemed to flow
out of your heart you just don’t care
and now you see them sitting there
the good times had blocked by sorrow
love was never had its always just borrowed
looking back you realize the spark was there
it hurts so bad to hear the words " I don’t care"
can you forgive and let new times come
or is the past the past what’s done is done
she wants to talk her life has gotten tough
but where was she when your times got rough
you look around wishing for a sign
a picture a memory any type or kind
something to make you think it feels right
the feeling is gone the time has passed
What’s done is done the past the past

Charades, Parades and Video Games

dead on the inside rotten one the outside
should go and hide but hindered by my pride
try to be unique but treated like a leper
standing tall but crumbling under pressure
take a look and you’ll see its a charade
marching like pro lifers at a pro choice parade
in the midst of something you don’t understand
watching and waiting for that elusive master plan
life is a gift that you should not be missing 
but have you ever heard of re gifting?
all lives are equal! what a useless joke
search for that truth through the deceptive smoke
I’m not one to criticize what I don’t understand
or to preach about putting it to the man
that chapters over we know we cant win
but is wanting something better really a sin?
I write poems about what I feel or know
this ones my heart despite the freak show
aim for something better but to slow on the draw
work for what you want. guess what my hands are raw
I’m still homeless, jobless, and trying to persevere regardless
things look up and then you get hit the hardest
this isn’t a complaint or a plea for help
I don’t want anyone I’m better by myself
trust in those who are closest to you
I looked for help and instead got pushed through
I’m done with this poem and I’m sure you are too
just remember the only person there for you is you

My Family Lost

an angry father with no love
no acceptance there even a hug
a detached mother never a smile
ive seen her happy but its been awhile
a drugged out sister who raised me right
finds release with blade of a knife
my dear brother scarred for life
sorrowful crying fills the night
my family means the world and more
but loving me is their biggest chore
not a pleasure not a privilege
my heart soars but then they kill it
not all is bad at times they fake it
but false smiles cant always make it
a beaten child here i lay
waiting for the darkness of day
mother tries but cant hold on
sister only hits the bong
brother distant in great need
father reason i sometimes bleed
they are all i have they are my nothing
hoping, groping to find something
i hold them dear i love them so
better to fight than let go
divorce ending what had been
some chose faith and others sin
my brother chose nothing though i try
to be an anchor in a sea of night
still he drifts away so far away
living life one bad day to bad day
sister to high to hear my cries
pushing back the harder i try
i want her to see the light
i wont give up without a fight
father once so happy and energetic
now drained and sees me as pathetic
was so loving and full of life
now gets drunk and wants a fight
mother lost as i try to lead the way back
still slipping so far off track
i cant stand to see her cry
though it happens every night
i love my family they are all i ever had
and ill stand by them in good and bad
i love you family please come home
im so sick of being alone
i need you now more than ever
i need someone to make it better
i need a smile instead of shouts
i need words from the heart not the mouth
please family find me here
please leave behind the beer
leave the drugs and the knife
leave the darkness in the night
leave your new world ill make this one better
i said it once and ill say it forever
my world is lost without the center
family you are the core
everything that i adore
ill make every effort i want it back
the happiness of our long lost past

Down In the Dumps

lifes a little joke but im not laughing
helpless to the things happening
wanting to grow and learn to laugh again
to heal old scars and avoid new bruises
to make new friends and honor old truces
scared to move yet must move on
all lifes story one long sad song
pick up the tempo sad wont work
im sick of depression sick of hurt
sick of pain and being double crossed
sick of striving for my memories lost
nothings for real unless you see it
words useless unless you mean it
sat for so long writing sad poems
scared of who sees or knows them
so happy for everything but not content
wishing to take back messages sent
a lonely kid 18 years young
struggling against the rope he hung
i am the shaken and the distraught
i am rebellious against all things taught
i am loud in silence and quiet on the podium
i am an unbeliever unless i see or hold them
i am the pun to every sad joke
i am wealthy yet emotionally broke
i need an anchor before im lost
i need a faith a book or cross
i need something i cannot find
something held thats only mine

Dear World

the world is full of selfish people
honesty in a haystack finding the needle
mistrust and violence a daily meal
the world feeds on a shady deal
trust yourself and no one else
no one there when you turn for help
slammed every way and still get up
hope a comfort but not always enough
poison the air to make poisonous gases
people die but oh well your car is fastest
spend your money on clothes and games
while others struggle to find a place
people die over politics and beliefs
others die with nothing to eat
people steal with no remorse
while others cry their throats so coarse
drunken fathers beat innocent kids
no one sees anything wrong with this?
i don't know the solution and don't claim i do
I'm just passing a message from me to you
just make an effort its not that hard
when you see a chance do your part
hold the child as they cry
lend a helping hand instead of walk by
its not your problem and may not effect you
but think of hard times you have been through
a strangers smile is better than nothing
a little bit can add to something
the world is full of selfish people
be the good among the evil

Mercenary

lone man stands on the hill
invisible demons picking at his will
reminding him of times he’s killed
showing him of the last time he will
lonely soldiers in unknown graves
left to rot for untold days
they fought not for honor or for hate
but for paychecks day to day
hoping, pleading, praying still
for the souls of those they killed
the old man stands his eyes are glazed
burning madness torches his veins
losing hold of all his ways
the demons show him of the kill
the demons give him back his will
his life was his to take
another lonely soldier unknown grave

War

wars fought over religion and land
guns held in blood filled hands
dog tags piled for death counts
soldiers die like rabid hounds
put down for principles of others
lakes of tears of childrens mothers
holding flags they dont believe in
ordered to do moral treason
gun fire and war cries fill the night
the war of others an endless fight
go off to war or prison cells
when you come home noone tells
families wait for news good or bad
nothing to do but think of times had
blood, sweat, and tears mark their plight
artillery shells blasting day and night
some fight for belief in a cause
others fight just to do their job
finding funding for blood shed not that hard
we make bullets and tanks while others starve
liberating people against their will
sending our people out to be killed
no war is worth the price they paid
what has war ever gained?

Emotionless

emotions overwhelming me
with something I cannot see
I try so hard to be
away from you and free to be me
it never goes that way
I see it happen day by day
I hate the way it all turns bad
thinking of the times i had
they are gone they wont come back
my life a wreck a train off tracks
I turn to you to comfort me
to see the things I cannot see
you have nothing to say
but still I wait another day
maybe things will soon change
an iron grip on false found faith
so turn your back on me
tell me everything ill be
it hurts no more to see you cry
even if I’m the reason why
so let the tears flow and fall 
this time I will not crawl
back into your arms
back into the impending harm
so turn your back on me
see how better things will be

Stay Away

take my hand ill take you there
to the depths of pain and despair
its like liquid fire spraying those near
spreading distrust, hurt, and fear
let go ill understand I would too
its selfish disregard that I want you
I see the people hear the voices
hear the options make the choices
individual thought a thing of the past
I wanted help but scared to ask
it hurts so bad it stings inside
makes me feel nothing run and hide
I run away and it stays the same
with each new place I feel no change
I’m running from myself everyday
but I’m so dead tired cant keep the pace
lay down, cry, and pray
just for one more happy day
it never comes I keep on waiting
the more time passes I keep fading
hold on to me and feel it to
I’m not good for myself nor for you
