POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Ok so I got into poetry a few years ago during a depression. I have gotten a lot of inspiration from one of my favorite bands, Rise Against. I am open to criticism, and would love advice on how to make my poems better.
The Leader of the Pack
Wild and free
To lead on the pack
Ever on forward
Never looking back
Point on a hill
The wall of the storm
When happen we're around
The world becomes torn
The leader in front
The one who's in charge
The one with the courage
Who now is at large
Barking out orders
Keeping all safe
Providing for us
And taking all hate
I wish I was like her
So free to just go
Yet all that I do
Is put on a show
To seem like I'm one
Who has all control
Even though really
My words are dull
Sharp and concise...

Different
So what if I'm different
Stand out in a crowd
Do you think I'm trying
To be cloaked in a shroud
Call me names will you
See what that does
The more you talk
The more my name's a-buzz
It doesn't matter
If you like what I do
It's not my life goal
To be pleasing you
I blaze my own trail
I do what I want
But I'll give you props
For that popular stunt
To single me out
Make me feel alone
Sorry to tell you
That feeling's gone
So walk away slowly
Turn tail and run
It's to bad that I
Ruined all your...

Birthday...
Looks like I made it
Another year
Now to hope
That they don't hear
That today's a day
To be bright and gay
For they'll all say
Happy birthday Jay!
But what I want's
To be left alone
Out of the spotlight
Never have shone
To go my way
And let them go theirs'
And just have them
Never aware

Birthday!!!
Horay! Horay!
Let's celebrate!
With big balloons
And decorate!
He'll be here soon
The guest of time
Let's make sure
That this place shines
Just you wait
Until he sees
The hard work
Of busy bees
He'll be impressed
And just won't wait
Drop everything
And celebrate

He'll be impressed
And just won't wait

Relief
The distance can separate
All that it wants
And the time between visits
Maybe will haunt
But trust me my dear
It is all right
There is no need
To put up a fight
I loved you when here
I love you when gone
I love you forever
I love you beyond
The boundaries this world
Has set upon us
To be with you always
I know that I must
For all that I want
Is to be by your side
To walk 'gether as equals
Stride after stride
And the day shall soon come
When we never must leave
Think of how then
We'll be...

Hope
Do not cry please do not hate
For what has happened due to fate
I know it's hard and always will be
But please truly look and see
That we are stronger than the space
And look to when we leave this place
Of agony we are living through
Because all I need is you
But if you feel you can't go on
And you feel like you're a pawn
Just look up and you will see
That you and I were meant to be
For I've loved you once and love you still
I always have and always will
I can't let go I never could
And never wonder if I should

With you
How can I explain
The way you make me feel
And how can I be sure
That all of this is real
Because I'm above all else
Whenever you're around
And when I seem you smile
My world starts spinning round
So now the question is
How is it you do
This feeling that you give me
When I'm around you
You're the one who lights my day
No matter what is wrong
You're the one who keeps me live
And the reason that I long
Because I'm above all else
Whenever you're around
And when I see your smile
My world starts...

Stay Strong
This life's getting harder to live
No one around and no one to give
Any advice on what is right
So all I do is try to fight
I know I can't keep moving in
And it's harder to get along
With anyone who tried to help
'Cause all I do is fight and yelp
With everything
I've been through all this time
I know that
My life is on the line
I've been broken
I've been torn
I've been beaten down, brought back up
Knocked to the ground and scorned
I've been helpless
I've been alone
I've been abandon, by myself
And still I...

I Dance on a String
I dance on a string
And am fully controlled
A puppet who does
Why by master is told
It seems there's no freedom
Left here for me
As I'm put on display
For whole world to see
Making in through life
Day in and day out
Not able to say a word
Unable to shout
To scream at the master
For treatment so cruel
For in the world I live
His word is rule
And those who shall break it
Or spit in his face
Will no longer be here
Completely erased
From the face of the earth
Not left here at all
For when law is...

To the One I Hold Dear
I'll be there soon baby
I promise be near
And any cry of help love
You know I'll hear
I won't let you leave me
It go off alone
But if separate are we
I'll see your light shown
You'll be in my arms safely
No reason to be scared
Because when you're with me
I walk in mid-air
And I'll take on any
Threat shall approach
No matter their size
Body-builder or roach
I'll try through ever
To fill you with joy
I promise to you only
That you are no toy
Or pawn in the game
Of love that some play
Because you...
I promise be near
And any cry of help love
You know I'll hear
I won't let you leave me
It go off alone
But if separate are we
I'll see your light shown
You'll be in my arms safely
No reason to be scared
Because when you're with me
I walk in mid-air
And I'll take on any
Threat shall approach
No matter their size
Body-builder or roach
I'll try through ever
To fill you with joy

That you are no toy
Or pawn in the game
Of love that some play

In My Heart and In My Arms
In my heart always
My baby shall be
Even though mostly
I cannot see
Or feel her beside me
Or here in my arms
But I know that she's never
In any harm
But heartache and longing
To hold me by close
As I whisper softly
And be the home host
And keep her safe always
As she know's I'll do
Whatever I must
To force darkness through
And send it to past
To whence it once came
With tail between legs
As it weeps in shame
For it knows light triumphs
Time after time
And the love of each other
Beats all evil...

Life Changing
I lost it the day I met you
But I didn't see it then
And now i know I want you
To always be my friend
I didn't truly know
What it meant to live
But now that I have met you
I see what you can give
Life use to drag on
Just day after day
But know that I don't mind
As long as you stay
So listen here and look if you please
So that you will truly see
How my life has truly changed
And what you truly mean to me
But I didn't see it then
And now i know I want you
To always be my friend
I didn't truly know
What it meant to live
But now that I have met you
I see what you can give
Life use to drag on
Just day after day
But know that I don't mind
As long as you stay
So listen here and look if you please
So that you will truly see
How my life has truly changed
And what you truly mean to me
