Risk

~ another one dished out.....

Risk

Crawling out of bed on a sunny day

The crisp wind flowing across the bay

What does life have in store?

Won’t know until I open the door

Treading lightly avoiding the cracks

Ignoring the avenues, not looking back

Always walking on a set path

Careful to not incite other’s wrath

Existence is boring, but predictable

Making life easily manageable

No climaxes, twists, or turns

That’s why the fool never learns

Wish I had a courageous heart

Allow my passions to create art

Wisdom abounds on those who dare

To escape mediocrity’s engulfing snare

I should rise above the faceless flock

Wear sandals with long white socks

Confront the lies with simple truth

Who cares if they think I’m uncouth?

The only mind that matters is mine

If they get mad, that’s completely fine

So long, safe straight road!

I hop on this trail…full risk mode!

I embrace my heart’s fire

It’s the only way to go higher

Fly or die, it doesn't matter, my friend

I’ll be my true self to the end 

Life Story

~ It's been a while, I have written a lot, just haven't been posting.  Here's a new one. 

Life Story

I had no chance to find happiness

Every choice I made led to sadness 

Always was down my luck

Feeling like I was always stuck

Could never figure out this thing called life

I was better off cutting air with a knife

Moving forward would only make me fall

Why couldn't I be someone who had it all?

Yet through everything I held my head

No matter what anyone said

Failure is just a lesson learned

Nothing is gained if you don’t get burned

As long as I can, I’ll never fold

Who cares whether I’m young or old?

I’ll keep amping up, never giving up

Reaching for the stars with an empty cup

My feet may be worn

My heart has been torn

Taking all the hits

Not giving a shit

Bury me under, I’ll just dig out

The journey is what life is all about

I’ll keep dealing no mater my hand

In the end, six feet is the only land

That anyone ever needs

No one may remember my deeds

How I live only matters to me

Your life is your own story

Cage Inside

~ another piece of work...yay......

Trapped within my mind

An escape I try to find

These thoughts never rest

Anger, uncertainity, and hate infest

Nothing is ever enough

Tired of being tough

Tear me down asunder

I simply want to surrender

Feelings gushing until I strain

My body stricken with pain

Fears and doubt leave me broken

Only when I have awoken

The power within my soul

Can I ever become whole

I’ll  cast away my cage

Battling through life’s carnage

From within, there is always a war

Because my soul is worth fighting for 

Click!

~ just a little something about the impact Facebook has had on our society.......

Look at me! Look at me! Look how sad I am!

Look at me! Look at me! Like all my corny spam!

Did you see my status? Like it if you care.

Show me that I’m special, on my posts click share

Like me! Like me! Or I will fall into despair

Facebook is so great, let me be your friend

If you don’t accept me, I will hate you to the end

Comment on everything that’s on my Facebook

My profile you must always look

“Like” every single photo that I took

Play all the silly games with me

It will be best times there could ever be

My self-worth depends on your clicks

Reject me and I’ll be ticked

So come look at me quick…….

Leaf and Pine

A lonely leaf from a great oak

Thought his life was a joke

Until he saw in the distance

A pine needle of lovely existence

The way she fluttered in the air

Made the oak leaf always stare

An example of perfection

Putting to shame all of creation

But as the season of fall came

The wind shook the oak leaf's frame

To the cold ground he fell

Now without her view, was in hell

But then by a miracle of fate

His love plummeted at a fast rate

Piercing into the leafs body

Finally together, they die

Selfish

A man without dignity

Craves everyone's pity

Lacks any scrutiny

Never feels guilty

He does what he can

To be the center man

Has no friends but wants fans

Only wears the latest pants

He screams and cries

He'll charm with grievous lies

Plays the fool , spits on the wise

Never achieves cause he never tries

Despite whatever he'll say

He's miserable in his ways

He'll be selfish always

Until the end of his days

Temperance

~  just a a little poem......not that great. 

A man sitting in the dark

Like the dog who does not bark

Always ready for a fight

For he lacks any foresight

Thoughts of hate and anger

Never finding an answer

His sorrow ripping him asunder

To his rage he surrenders

His focus always narrow

A temper sharp as an arrow

His life ravaged by self pity

No peace in any city

So beware the evil man

Who does not have a plan

To deal with his pain

For to others he is a strain
