My Psycho Girlfriend

She went to a whole other 
place today and guess what? I 
took her there. She starts 
screaming and yelling and 
saying things out of character... 
At this point I'm more confused 
then I've ever been. Like what 
happened to the sweetheart I 
met 6 months ago??? 
Just bought a new car, she 
keyed it. Flat screen tv, she 
broke it. Some shoes I waited 
in line for for 5 hours, she rips 
the tongue off of them. The 
bracelet I bought her, she 
throws it at my head. This all 
started because I wouldn't 
watch her favorite romance 
comedy. Like most men, I 
should run like hell but you 
know what??? I think it's 
adorable. I mean it is my fault 
she's like this. When she gave 
up on love, I made her see 
what she was giving up. When 
she lost her first love, I helped 
her find another one. When her 
first time was horrible, I made 
her last time amazing. I was 
the one that gave her a cheesy 
romance movie beginning. 
Since she has never been 
swept off her feet, I will be all 
the broom she ever needs. So 
to my psycho girlfriend, I 
refuse to apologize because I'm 
going to do you one better. 
When ever you freak out and 
go through an episode like this 
one today I'm just gonna grab 
your face and kiss you like your 
going away on some very long 
business trip. You know... The 
kiss where your toes curl up 
and your socks pop off. Yea 
that kinda kiss. What can I say, 
she's psycho because of me 
and if if that's not the second 
best reward to true love then 
idk what is.

Dead Man On the Bench

Once alive and very lively he 
was...?
He sat and watched the leaves 
blossom, hoping one day they 
would fall.?
Once alive and very lively he 
was...?
He fed the birds in turn hoping 
they would return for more.?
Once alive and very lively he 
was...?
He shared a secret with a 
person sitting next to him in 
hopes they would never tell it.?
Once alive and very lively he 
was...?
He gives the sad woman words 
of encouragement in hopes of 
her smiling.?Once alive and very 
lively he was...
?He sits on the bench waiting on 
the bus in hopes of it not being 
late.?
Who knew there'd be a Dead 
Man On the Bench who awaits.?
Once alive and very lively he 
was...

To the Kid Holding His Head Down

To the kid holding his head 
down, keep it up! If things are 
hard let it go. The people that 
aren't your friends now, were 
never meant to be. Don't 
change to fit in. Don't even 
change to get in. Change to 
better yourself and to bring 
light to humanity. Light that we 
need to see. Darkness is what 
weakens us. We can never 
move forward if we remain in 
the past. The past is irrelevant 
unless we manifest it and make 
it part of the present future. So 
hold your head up and strive. 
Not strive to remain, but strive 
to be alive!

Coexistence

It's not the pretty face,
so much as your pretty ways 
I'm in love with...
It was never about your looks,
but more or so how you looked 
with me. Though we each exist,
I'd much rather co-exist as 
one...

Love

When we look for love we never 
find it, but when we stop 
looking it ends up right In front 
of us.
Once we have it, how do we 
keep it? If love is the highest 
feeling then how do we reach 
it.
Love can't be taught, its 
something we just know, if one 
cannot understand anything 
else, just rely on love and I 
promise you'll grow.
Grow with love, na better yet 
just go with love. Don't give up 
and don't fight it, if you can't 
say it just write it. Let your true 
feelings be know, no matter 
how young or how grown.
Love is a feeling we can't help 
but feel, are biggest battle is 
knowing if its real. We think 
love doesn't work cause we 
fight each other, when really 
we're fighting ourselves.
Instead of expressing how we 
really feel about one another, 
we hide our true emotions by 
playing games. Games that 
neither of us never really win. 
One person remains victorious 
while for the other person it all 
ends.
So love like you've never loved 
before, give in instead of giving 
up, walk instead of run. True 
love is forever, so what's your 
rush.

Follow Your Heart

I hear people often say you 
should follow your heart and I 
agree because I'm afraid that if 
I didn't follow my heart and it 
had to follow me, would it keep 
up? This fear comes, due to me 
being so fast. So fast that the 
feeling never last. The sooner 
they become part of the 
present, the quicker they 
become apart of my past.

Haiku To You

Many relate...
Not many will truly know...
I am all alone.
I once had real friends...
Those days were the simplest...
I am all alone.
Popularity...
Something I use to strive for...
I am all alone.
Trusted all of you...
All of you have let me down...
I am all alone.
Yet I can forgive...
Forgiveness is meaningless...
I am all alone.

Where

Where's the girls that make you 
work for it. I mean the girls 
that make you treat them like a 
lady and don't go for it. Like... 
What happened to saying no to 
staying the night, or first you 
have to treat me right. Now 
days girls be like... boy what yo 
room look like? Where's the 
girls that got standards? I 
mean the ones that make you 
treat them with respect and 
have manners. I said it before 
and I'll say it again. The girl 
that makes me wait will be my 
wife.
