Happiness

I wish I knew how to be happy but I haven't got a clue,
I guess I'm just lacking the same stuff you have in you,
I must have been born with out those feelings installed,
Or there was a malfunction and those feelings got recalled,
Cause no matter how hard I try I'm always depressed,
No matter how much I cry the pain inside still exists,
There's been pain in my heart since I was nine or ten,
I tried my best to make my dad proud but there was no pleasing that man,
Everything I did could have been a little bit better in his eyes,
So many night I sat in my room with watery eyes trying not to cry,
Why did he hate me? When I did the best I could,
And now he's gone so I'll never know why I wasn't any good,
I wish I could talk to someone but I doubt I would be understood,
I wouldn't know how to explain the pain even if I could,
So I'll just have to live with the fact that my happiness is broke,
And try and hide the pain from family and friends by telling jokes,
Maybe in death I'll finally learn to smile and laugh,
But as for now I'll just have to keep trying to do my best.

Blood In, Blood Out

They stand on the corner anything you want they got,
Some do the deals some run the money and some call shots,
All of them are ready to pop at the first signs of a problem,
Smith n Weston and Glock know just how to solve them,
These boys are no joke they stay with one in the chamber,
They be the real definition of a true gang banger,
Quick to snatch a life in a min with no second guessing,
Putting snitches in body bags so that they learn they lesson,
This isn't a hobby for them this is everyday life,
They married to the game no time for kids and wife's,
Blood in and blood out or sometimes plata o plomo,
Turning your back on your family is a major nono,
It's getting crazy on these streets these boys run in groups,
Most of them were trained by the army so it's groups of troops,
Armed to the teeth with new age armor and weapons,
If you see them on your block get your self to stepping,
Cause they show no remorse innocent or not,
When bullets start flying everyone's getting shot.

Flowers and Butterflies

Spring is here so you know what that means, flowers and butterfly's and trees turning green, but it's not all good it's allergies season, snakes come out and bees start stinging, tornadoes run amok in tornado alley, it gets hotter then a white man at a Trump support rally, your skin starts to burn from being in the sun, the rain is cool and all but down here we rarely get some, but back to flowers those beautiful things, they come in different colors and are abundant in spring, now imagine a kid catching a butterfly on his finger, then smashing it cause kids these days are a little bit meaner.

Goodnight

My dearest Marie oh how I miss thee,
You didn't say goodnight last night before you went to sleep,
I guess it was kinda my fault as I was busy and didnt see,
That it was getting late and you were probably about to leave, 
But none the less it made me sad deep down inside,
If I wasn't a manly man I probably would have cried,
But I am so instead I decided to sit and write,
This poem of how I feel on this dark lonely nite,
Although now that I think about it writing isn't manly at all,
What the hell am I doing men don't write poems they beat up walls,
And break stuff and curse and spit and smash beer cans on our heads,
I guess I'm not a manly man...aww screw it I'm going to bed.

P.s. took out the curse words or it would be a little different lol.

Last Words

This will be the last thing I write so I'll try and make it good,
The pain is to much I wouldn't carry on even if I could,
Its finally sank in that my welcome was over stayed,
So this my friends will sadly be my departure day,
I bid you farewell and may your future be grand,
I'm tired of walking around as this useless man I am,
I can now see my father was right I am worthless and fat,
A waste of space and life, its time to go no turning back,
I shall take the cowards way out cause living is to hard ,
Deaths got to be easy besides the lonesome and dark,
I feel I have no choice but to take my own life,
I'm bound to be good at something so at least I'll try, 
Ive failed before but practice makes perfect ,
But if it stops the pain I think it'll be worth it,
So take it easy and I'll catch ya later so to say,
Sincerely yours truly have a good day!

Suicide

When I go I wanna die alone, I hope they don't run my obit so that no one knows I'm gone, it will be just another day in your meaningless life, and if you know don't you dare mourn I was miserable alive, I don't want to die a painful or horrible  death, so I think suicide is what suits me best, I've failed at living and life itself, finally in death I shall excel,to those I hurt and leave behind, just know this it was my time, I love you all and will miss you alot, but I'll save you a nice spot in hell that isn't to hot.

Work In Progress

From cut veins blood seeps,
Gun bangs and brains leak,
Rope hangs the pains steep, 
Pills bring eternal sleep,
We're all mindless sheep,
Life's game we cannot see,
Pawn piece in game of kings,
Ruled by the mighty queen,
Fooled by the light it brings,
Deaths close I feel the sting,
Eyes closed no light is seen,
It all seems a haunting dream,
Which I cannot awake from,
I see the end here it comes,
So here I go or there I went,
My life's worth is all but spent.

Sleep

I'm surrounded by darkness trapped in thought,
Not a single sound but the beat of my heart,
My mind starts to wonder where could I be, 
How is it so dark that I can not see,
Why can't I get up and run away, 
My legs don't work but I'm in no pain,
I start to scream and cry for help,
But no one comes I'm all by myself,
I must be dead is all I can think, 
And all of a sudden my eyes start to blink,
The whole time I was afraid for my life,
I was asleep in my bed in the middle of night.

Cigarettes

Addiction is no joke it's so hard to break free,
The drugs and the booze never got a hold of me,
I've tried them all and nothing had a hold,
Until I tried cigarettes now I can't let go,
I know if I don't stop I won't ever grow old,
Cause the chemicals will kill me or so I'm told,
But I can't seem to stop no matter what I try,
I don't even like to smoke and that's no lie,
I can't stand the taste or the smell they have,
I wish I could go back in time to stop the first drag I had,
I was nine years old staying the summer with my cuz,
I tried my first joint, cigarette and got my first buzz,
But didn't really smoke regularly until I was sixteen,
Ever since then I've been a nicotine fiend,
Now I'm thirty-one and I'm still caught in its grasp,
Every pack of cigarette I smoke I swear is my last.

Fear

He sits alone in the dark shaking in fear,
Dad yelling, mom crying is all he can hear,
BANG!BANG! THUD! Then the house goes quite,
Shocked he crawls under the bed trying to be silent,
His mind races and thoughts start flying,
Face soaking wet from the tears he's been crying,
He doesn't dare leave to see what's happened,
Then all of a sudden he hears dad starts laughing,
Followed by footsteps right out side the door,
"I'm sorry son I couldn't take it no more",
One last bang as his dad falls to his knees,
From under the bed blood is all he sees.
