Bad News

The doctor said I might die today.
Test say positive, to my dismay.
The anti-depressants just aren't enough,
To kill the pain from all this stuff.
My friends don't know, and they don't care,
That's what I get for being there.
I'm fifteen and almost dead.
The thought keeps spinning thru my head.
Government has given up on me,
So much for fair democracy.
I'm alone and still a child.
Is this revenge for being wild?
The Gods can kill me if they like.
I'm just a pawn, they have the right.
I've never felt this lost before.
My friends just sigh and close the door.
Does it matter if I go?
Apparently the answer is "No".
The heavy weight of incoming death.
I'm dreading for that final breath.
If I don't get to say farewell,
I think we'll meet again in hell.

Unpatriotic

They tell me I'm a commie,
They tell me I'm a freak.
How can I be free if
reprimanded when I speak?
I believe war is wrong.
Is that so hard to understand?
That doesn't make me evil,
I never hated my homeland.
I'm not unpatriotic,
Just because I want peace.
I'm wishing a safe trip,
To the people over seas.
But turn on your TV,
And maybe you'll see why,
I hate this senseless war,
Where innocent people die.

Hallways
09/05/03 |
The wind whispers softly,
Life without a care.
Everythings so quiet,
Only you are there.
The school crowded hallway,
Fades until its bare.
I feel this every second,
Focused on your stare.
I tried to tell you nicely,
What you mean to me.
You told me I was silly,
We weren't meant to be.
So now I sit in study hall,
Writing poetry.
I'll probably throw it out,
So no one else will see.
But maybe I will save this,
Not to give to you,
But post it on a billboard,
Thats what I should do.
Then maybe when you see it,
You'll know my words are true,
And the hallways will turn normal,
Though they didn't have a clue.

Praying mantis in a spider's web,
Too beautiful to die.
A life that ends too soon,
No explanation of why.
But she was only one of many,
No one really cared.
They could have untied the delicate lace,
But no one really dared.
She was perfect,
She was unique in her own light.
For as long as I recall,
I'll remember her last flight.
A fragile mother returning home,
Unaware of the trap beside her.
They all let her go,
To the fangs of a hungry spider.

In my eyes you'll see a light,
Burning for you alone.
The future, now, so close in sight.
My heart has found it's home.
If I die inside your arms,
Always remember this:
I never meant you any harm,
I just wanted to taste your kiss.
Melt my loneliness,
Make it go away.
Forever by your side,
Is where I want to stay.
Take all the love that I possess,
I saved it all for this.
One night alone with you,
Just to feel your kiss.

Valentine's Day
03/23/04
|
It's back again,
The holidays here.
Too bad it comes
Just once a year.
That day in the winter,
When your all alone,
And thanks to this mess,
Your best friends not home.
So you think of your ex,
You think of your crush,
You think of your heartaches,
You think of your lusts,
You think of the time,
True loved slipped away,
Just like you did last year,
On Valentines Day.
You feel so alone,
You feel so ignored,
You feel so disgusted,
And then just feel bored.
If this day is so great
Then why are you here
Watching chick flicks
While chugging down beer?
Maybe its fate
To be left alone
On the day meant for love,
The day affections shown.
Or maybe its just that
This holiday is fake.
At least for now then,
My heart will be safe.
