A Drastic Thought

It's such a drastic thought,
the idea of equal
after the past waves brought
we still need a sequel

It's still the strangest thing
to think we're the same
so here's what I wish to bring
change to the rules of our game

A chance to be commensurate
for humans to be just that
a way to shed the desolate
for hatred to fall flat

Hide

I see everything that others do not

I see how your stomach is tied in a knot

How you’re suffering, no one can tell

You’re good at lying when going through hell

I see the shadows from the lack of sleep

How you follow others as though you are sheep

Is there any original thought left in your mind

Has your dear leaders already made you unkind?

Telling yourself you’re strong, you’re a fighter

But really, it’s your fault the world isn’t brighter

You wear a mask, you show us no anger or fear

yet I know nothing of your calm is sincere

You hide everything away, but I can see past

I know your mind isn’t built to last

There’s so much you should get off your chest,

see those you don’t talk you, know you the best

A Letter Home (After Moving)

Dear mother, I’m sorry

I’m not the same as before

Dear brother, don’t worry

Nothing scares me anymore

Dear father, you’re welcome

I’ve finally gone my way

Dear sister, you’ve become

stronger since you chose to stay

Dear bestfriend, I miss you

I wish you could join me

Dear lover, what did you do

going where I can’t be

My Home Has No Walls

My home, does not have a single wall

yet keeps me from my downfall

My home, without a single room

keeps me from reaching certain doom

My home is not a house, not for rent or sale

it’s not even the place where I receive my mail

My home has a heart, a soul, a voice

and it supports me in every single choice

My home has a face, nose and eyes

the warmest of hellos and hardest of goodbyes

My home moves with me, wherever I may go

and that’s just the reason for why I know

My home is where my heart is, resting here with you

and for the life of me, there’s nothing I’d rather do

My home keeps me safe, by day and by night

safe from sorrow, safe from anger and from fright

Before this poem, I never really knew

but my true home, is you

ART

You say ART doesn't matter
But ART is a big pART of me
It makes the world better, you see
It makes me feel beautiful and smART
and has a special place in my heART

If I didn't have my ART
I would have no idea where to stART
I fear my mind and I would be apART
Even myapARTment would be boring
In pARTicular my looks would have people snoring

See without ART, we have nowhere to quit and nowhere to stART
My mind lies restless, just the physical pART
It rests so close inside my heART
Look at it, can you see it's off the chART?

Look at yourself, look at your ART
Listen closely, and you'll hear where to stART

Teach me to fly

Please, teach me to fly,

she whispered into the dark

Just take my hands,

he answered her softly

Take them, and follow me

She looked into his eyes,

wondering what they held

Looking for what secrets

may be hidden behind

Not noticing the hellfire within

Follow me, he whispered

and so she quickly did

Stepping off the ledge

tumbling down the steep

soon covered by muddy water

Fear

I have always wondered why

Why I’m so afraid to fly

Scared of soaring high above

so afraid to see your love

I have always wondered why

why I’m not afraid to die

why nothing scares me anymore

I’m no longer like before

I fear nothing for the ones I love

not flying in the skies far above

I’m scared of nothing, you can tell

fearing neither heaven nor hell

For you, I would surely give my all

from heaven I would soon fall

Everything of mine, I would give to you

There’s nothing I would rather do

2 minute poetry

I see you as you see me

It’s as easy as can be

For if I see you as you see me

That means that you can also see

just how perfect you are to me

The Modern Woman

The modern woman, she needs nothing

No husband or children to bring happiness

all she needs is her own mind and heart

Nothing more and nothing less

The modern woman, she stands alone

Bliss surely fills her powerful mind

her own life, her own home, a career

She’s strong, independent, loving and kind

The modern woman, she guides herself

through storming waters and a rising sun

having no idea what she’s started

Our awaited journey has at last begun

Storm

They say storms don't last forever

but this one seems to do

Smooth seas don't make good sailors

but that is what I wish for

I don't really believe in hell or heaven

but that's where I'm going to

And they claim our souls can last forever

but my soul has losts its core

Do what’s right and not what’s easy

but the right ones are so hard

Pressure has claimed my life lately

the consequences I can guess

My heart imbedded in the strongest walls

and my feelings stand as guard

I just long for health, joy, happiness

nothing more, nothing less

Here

I want you here

here until the Earth breaks apart beneath our feet

I want you here

here until the world shatters and we are all that’s left

I want you here

like a flower craves the presence of sunlight

I want you here

like nothing I’ve wanted before

I want you here

here until my soul leaves my body behind to rest

I want you here

here until all that’s known has disappeared from us

I want you here

like a galaxy craves the presence of stars

I want you here

like nothing I’ve ever wanted

If Only I Could

Things I would change
There are so many
I would smile more if I could
I'd laugh and I'd talk
I'd even sing, I'm sure I would
There are things I'd change
If only I could

I'd change how I act,
In so many ways
I would help the others,
I know I would do
Reach out, and help them
I know that it's true

I'd change my ideas
to fit in a better world
Where all people have a voice
a simple way to just be heard
I'd change all of this
If only I could

Give

If there was no such thing as possession
Do you think the world would still be the same?
Would people still admire Kanye,
who has only money to his name?
Would you look up to the same people
wanting their riches and fame?

If admiration was based on actions
would you change who you admire?
Would money, fame and looks
still be your only desire?
Or would you think for once about
what the rest of the people require?

When it's time, your bill is due,
will you be charged based on what you did?
Or just on the things you owned
when you were an adult and as a kid?
Listen close, and you shall hear,
an interesting change I bid.

If we change what we value
for a month, a week or even a day
Would we still view ourself the same
and think the same way?

Where not owning things is misery
In a material world we live,
And everyone seeks fame and glory
But please, instead of "money" desire "to give"

Poet

I wouldn't say the things I create
take a lot of skill
But I'm not like most poets
creating just by will
I create by purest passion
nothing more or less
Since while most poets are clean
I'm an utter mess
My mind races swiftly
from time to time
I find myself accused by many
comitting no crime
In my head the voices shout
sounding far and clear
And I sigh softly knowing
salvation can't be near

Wise

It's pulling me under
this sleep deprivation
In intelligence and art
lies my dedication
Life belongs to artristy
was my revelation

I'm exhausted with joy
this brain of mine
Bursting with new energy
crossing the line
My talents are many
let them shine

I break my back working
shoulders and hips
Words of great wisdom
leave my dry lips
But this wisdom of mine
life away chips

What Happened

We can't go outside without fear,

suddenly there are so many insults to hear

We can't display an opinion, without being told that we're wrong

you can get in trouble just for singing a simple song

If you're black, gay or transgender, your life must be tough

and if you're a Muslim, you're really living in the rough

Everyone is scared of everyone, and I'm left to wonder;

what happened?

Transgender people can't use the bathroom

if you're a woman, there's nothing you don't have to groom

Gays can't hold hands, or adopt a child

Global warmth is upon us, no one cares that the weather is mild

If you're a Muslim, you're a threat to national security

And you're prude and lame if you stick to your purity

Being politically correct is all the rage

In fact, the word "lame" shouldn't be on this page

The Earth is dying, most people don't have a clue

To escape we take LSD, smoke weed or sniff glue

We cling to the idea that love conquers all

We're in complete denial of our imminent fall

What happened to us,

I don't have a clue

But I think about it a lot,

do you?

You

You, a lonely rose in a garden of weeds,
You, a ray of sunshine during the hardest storm,
You, what light is left in the world
You, calming me when the universe crumbles
You
There will always be you

Not at all

The stories, the drama, it's all been done before
Why should I even get exited anymore
As a crumble, as I fall
I think about you not at all

I have forgotten your hair
The earrings you wear
Your soft and loving gaze
The way you moved with grace
Your voice, your sweet embrace, your gorgeous eyes
The pain on your face as we said our goodbyes
The tattoo on your chest
And all of the rest

Nameless III

We fade to black
Like shadows we fall
Through crack after crack
We don't feel at all

Our humanity died
The day we were born
Like minds who have lied
Our souls were torn

Dusk has risen
Darkness creeps near
My mind is my prison
I can only feel fear

Nameless II

Our shadows still remain
Forged into their minds
Like an un-bleachable stain
Nothing will clean us out
Even the most harsh rain

Nothing lasts forever
But we are not forgotten
Not now, not ever
But when we decide to leave
You'll have no memory, whatsoever
