What Is a Hero

A hero is like you and me 
Seeing so many possibilities
But not always taking the leaps
Hero's make mistakes 
Which causes them to break 
But they know the stakes 
And know what it takes 
They try to save the day 
Even if their love ones say no way
Sometimes they get confused 
They feel like they are just being used 
Even with their flaws 
They come to the calls 
To try and save them all

The World Today

Why is the World losing value in family 
It's like we are all so canny 
Divorce is a thing 
I wish it would grow wings 
Just fly away and disappear
Maybe then family would be here
All we value is material 
While some people are just worried about when they will get their next cereal 
Take a look around 
Tell yourself what you found 
Look at the sadness 
In this world we possess
How do we lose value 
When family will always be around you.

Confusion Is An Illusion

What is confusion
Is it like the art of illusion 
Everything that goes on in your head
Or when you try to sleep in your bed
People say they will help 
But when they try  they all say whelp
They think they helped make us glad
But all they do is make us sad
They think they lend a hand
But they make it harder to understand
We give them props because they try
But they don’t know how to help us inside
Confusion is like an illusion
We simply don’t know what our mind is doin

Why Do People Bully

Why do people bully 
Everyone says it's because there is something that we don’t see 
Like a family problem
Or something someone has forgotten 
But you’re afraid to ask what’s wrong
It's like you don’t want them to sing you a sad song
But you need to put yourself in their shoes
See why they are bullying, what they are going through
Once you do that help them fight
Help them see the beauty in the night
Once you lend that helping hand 
You will be able to comprehend
You can help them through
As long as you choose to be you

We Always Shrink

Why is the world like this 
Can't you see what one day you'll miss 
No because we are out getting high 
But on the inside we just want to die 
We go out with a friend 
But we are too insecure to let them in 
We steal and cheat 
But we are afraid to get punished and beat 
We try to feel great 
But we are told we are a mistake 
Yelling is all we hear 
Because family value decided to disappear 
We always shrink 
Because on the inside we care what others think

What Is Love

What is love
They say we are too young to know what love is
But I know that love is like this
It's the shiness of asking someone out
Remembering every moment because you want to make it count
It's the little things that matter
Not putting everything out on a silver platter
It's that first kiss that creates an explosion 
It's telling them everything so you don’t have to hold it all in
It's showing them your love unconditionally
It's creating more powerful sparks than electricity
It's changing for the person
Instead of making them worsen
It's saying I love you 
Knowing that for both sides it's true
It's knowing that for them you might have to fight
But your love for them gives you the might
It's putting up with them 
Knowing that you will love them to the end

No Means No

Why would you do things without consent
It's like you want your life to end
This is not how you get bliss
How could your life come to this
You should be creating a relationship
Instead of forcing someone to strip
What do you think you will gain
All you are doing is causing more pain
Why make someone lose their innocence 
It's like you’re taking away their confidence
They don’t want to talk about it
Because all it does is make them sick
You make them even more of a mess
But they don’t want to show that they are in distress
Doing this is sickening
No matter what age you are it should be imprisoning

How Do You Show You Care

How do you show you care
By always being there
By going through their pain
Giving them your jacket in the rain
If they tell you their struggle
Help them with their trouble
Don’t let their smile be fake
It will only let their heart break
If you break their trust
You will make their heart rust
Show them care
By always being there

On the Inside He

Inside he feels beaten an abused 
like he has nothing to lose
he starts to scream for help
then he starts to hurt himself
on the outside he is such a lie
but he's so good he doesn't try
he's able to get the girls
but on the inside doesn't care about the world

soon you can see through his cracks
people start to think he's out of wack
he starts to get bullied 
his strings snap
he's cracked
he collapsed
today is O.K.
he's found surrounded next to lies by the bay

That

Poetry
it’s a challenging task
It's taking your emotions
That you are scared to speak
 giving life
And Meaning through phrases
The thoughts that rush to your head
It could just be a rhyme
Or a beat
That is so simplistic
And making it feel so real
It supplies you with chills
Emotions
That become genuine 
That have became so life like
You start to fantasize
