Poet Introduction
I write songs of the heavy variety, intended to be screamed. Poems come to me erratically, and I'm writing a book. I'd appreciate ANY feedback.

Sat Idly By
two kids sit idly by as a newly lit fire glows.
a car collided with a streetlight near their home 5 minutes ago.
They could feel the warmth from the burning wreckage in front of them.
The driver flew out the windshield on impact,
he hadn't moved since he stopped skidding.
The headlights stopped flickering,
and the engine is starting to light up.
the kids are seated on the steps of their apartment half a block away talking.
They point to the car as the underside starts to spark.
underneath, the car is lighting up, and now it's...

Faith Abandoned
A little boy sits alone in a church.
Faith abandoned,
He questions life, and why he deserves all this.
The priest, interrupted, asking him "why are you sitting alone little boy?" Did you have something you wanted to say to god?
With his head in his hands, and a puzzled look on his face, the boy responds "Why would god want to about MY problems? No one is important enough to have any business with god.
People die, and the world gets hurt and no one does anything about it.
So why should he?"
The priest, bemused walks away.
A...

Creatures Of The Night
looking up at the sky,
I'm surrounded.
brilliantly dark, with just a touch of cold light from the stars.
beauty in a million words.
a mutual understanding,
of beauty, and pain.
Both so misunderstood.
misconceptions everywhere.
you understand each other,
and know that the night will never hurt you.
the moon, dancing at your back.
a moment of peace.
illuminated by the stars.
the only sound, from the light of passing cars.
The darkness forgives you.
and leaves room for your mistakes.

History Question. *Creative Thinking
Imagine you are one of the following:
Unemployed Worker
Single man or woman
Child living in a middle or working class family
farmer
wealthy businessman
Explain how the Great Depression has affected you.
Write your account as if it were an entry in your diary. It can have an informal tone, so you need not use complete sentences, though you may if you wish.
We didn't get to eat again last night,
mom says we can't.
We have to save our money until pop gets home.
He's been gone for a while now,
sometimes I wonder if he's ever...

Lovecast Outcast (Screamo song)
Once when I loved you.
That was my MISTAKE !
I gave you EVERYTHING
I had!
And you took it ALL !
And you broke my SOUL !
BITCH!
Not hurt, broken, dead, or bleeding,
At least on the outside.
Twisted, deceitful, conceited in every single way.
I don't know what I saw In you.
You poison corrupted my soul.

My Favorite Tune
Sometimes when I feel blue.
Do you know what I like to do?
I simply pop on a tune,
And I feel Immune.
Whatever's wrong doesn't matter,
at least until the end of that song.
Music helps me you see,
It's like medicine to me.
When things get bad,
I can feel glad
When I listen to my favorite tune.

Bluebird
Chorus
Oh blue bird you fly so high,
above the trees, the mountains, the buildings, the sky,
I WANT TO DO IT TOO !
RIGHT NEXT TO YOU !
Verse I
and oh you. You defyer of gravity, you befuddle me
How do you do what you do ?
Verse II
Bring on the challenge, the thrill of the hunt.
If it's worth working towards then,
Your doing something right.
AND I WANT TO BE RIGHT THERE NEXT TO YOU !

Think It Through (Rap)
Break it down
think it out
before you try to explain it.
bite your lip
hold your tongue
or else you'd better forget it
thinking things through
don't take to much time
and kid it's better off then spilling out rhymes.
and unless you've got the rhythm.
the rhyme just ain't right.
yet your pulling things through.
stead of biding your time.
FREEZE !
STOP TIME !
if not for one single second
if you don't...
think it out
before you try to explain it.
bite your lip
hold your tongue
or else you'd better forget it
thinking things through
don't take to much time
and kid it's better off then spilling out rhymes.

The Road
There's a road that I walk
all by myself.
No one can join me on this road.
not that they could if they wanted to.
I drift, wearily and aimlessly down it.
For the most part it's cold.
Walking in the night.
Blind, without direction.
Hell, sometimes I have to give myself a sharp slap across the face to bring the feeling back.
But somewhere,
at the end of this road,
wherever that may be,
I can only hope
there's light at the end of the tunnel.
Grassy hills,
and...
all by myself.

Suicide
the thought behind suicide is right.
Ending everything thats wrong for you, everything thats troubling you. IN AN INSTANT without ever having to think back upon the choice.
although what keeps me from it, is having to leave everything behind.
those that DO matter.
and those that DO care.
It's to difficult to replace those.
and how it instantly changes how people are going to remember you when you are gone. no matter what you did in your life.
you become a black sheep.
it all turns to you....
