POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Adam
I have a friend
He is not like the others
He stays around
Even when I move
And only
I see him
I don't know his name
I think it is a he
So I named it Adam
No
Not from Adam and Eve
The first thing he said
Gave me such a mix
"A brother can be as demonic as his twin"
I think I have lost my mind
Deep within
My head always screams out loud
Shouting echos all throughout in
I keep getting dizzy
And going to sleep
One of these days
I won't wake up
But I won't be free
I will be chained ...
He is not like the others
He stays around
Even when I move
And only
I see him
I don't know his name
I think it is a he
So I named it Adam
No
Not from Adam and Eve
The first thing he said
Gave me such a mix
"A brother can be as demonic as his twin"
I think I have lost my mind
Deep within
My head always screams out loud
Shouting echos all throughout in
I keep getting dizzy
And going to sleep
One of these days
I won't wake up
But I won't be free
I will be chained ...

My Little Lie with Large Effect
I always have trouble trying to say this
I might be saying it the wrong way
So let me try this way
I lie
No
Not I didn't just lie
I explained the lie
So that others would think it's true
This lie
This little little lie
Was about my life
Everyday someone will say
"What are you gonna be when you grow up?"
And in Kindergarten
I was always to myself
Kids would friend one another
I was by myself
No sparring glances in my direction
Just me and Adam
Adam
He was my friend
Still is

There or Here?
There is a way to look at life
This way is ignored and doesn't matter
However it leads you to a direction most don't like
They will get you confused with smart Alec's
However you will be more like a new perspective
This way to look at life
You have to see through the words
There or Here
Just choose one
It doesn't matter
One is Yin
The other Yang
If you choose There
There will be someone who chooses Here
If you choose Here
Then Here someone will choose There
Yin Yang
However one word
Is Life

Grow Up!
(This is a story, that is like a fable, it has a meaning at the end, but is told throughout, however this story is inspired by real life events [my own])
In the mathematics class there were 15 students. Some of those students names were; Antonio, Beatrice, Sarah, Saul, Terrance, Tink, and Zach. And the others are not as important. Antonio, Saul, Terrance, and Zachary all sorted at one table, they were highly annoying, Tink sat at one alone, he was doing his work, Beatrice and Sarah sat at another table, trying to pay attention and complete their work. Zack was telling his table a joke...

The Repairing
This song is about a boy who sees a man who needs some wakening spirit in him, this is also tied with a story and the time place is in the 2020, the boy appears 10 years of age
>Boy<
You wake up and look around everyday
Watching the dullness everywhere
And you do nothing
Just live another day like everyday
Call a taxi-
Get on the bus-
Go into your car-
(Oh yeah, you can walk as well)
To go to your job
Which you might hate or like a little too much
But the situation is still the same
Gray and Grey and even more gray ...

The Question of Us
Here is a hour
There is a minute
Where is a second?
We can ask ourselves complex question everyday
But we always answer them one way
Not another
Only one
Because harder the question
The more we know the answer to ourselves
Why am I this?
Why is he that?
Why is she that?
And the occasional
Who am I?
Well here is a question from me to you
Why do we care about identity?
It is not needed
I don't like any
Because people still call you names behind your back
Good or Bad
Idiot! Sweetie. Moron!...

Family is just a Word
Before you think of the title
Please know this
Family is most literally a word
What a Family is defined as
Is called the definition
An example is bloodline
Genes to genes
Who said love was shared as well
It is encouraged though
However for those who do have a loving family
You didn't get lucky
You just got stuck with another set of lies, secrets, and truths and you will always love each other
Getting second thoughts?
Good, as soon as you think them over
You will love your family even more
And for those who don't...

I Always Win
I made a game
But by mistake
It all started
when I lied to a friend
Now every time I move
And go in a new school
I look for new friends
But deep inside
I know I have to stop
Because the reason
For these friends
Aren't to fill an empty hole
A nail has already filled that
These friends would be for fun
The thing I always do
Lie, lie and lie a lot more
About who I am at first
But then they will grow deeper
And deeper
Until my friends see me as a light
A light that will easily go out ...

Name Ownership
It all started before I was born
My parents were to name me
The name was amazing
I heard it through the belly
But before I was born
They changed my name
Into a name I will always bare
Tink Romero
That is me
Thomas was to be me
However every school
That I am put in
I throw words around
And tell them to call me this
"Thomas" I say
With amazement in my eyes
For not only did I tell my first lie
But a lie of my name as well
Secrets and identity
Was always my problem
At home I'm "Tink

Clearing Another Head
To dry yourself out of thoughts
You must be calm
In order to be calm, you have to relax
In order to relax, you need to stop thinking
And take deep breaths, inhale and exhale --
Well let me stop you there instructor
Those are for those who are Sane
Look around you
Everyone wears a sign saying Not Sane
So it's time to update your technique
Here is how I do to clear mine
Over think the head
Not with logic
But with nonsense
It will dull it to the mode labeled "Day Off"
And to overthink the head with nonsense
You...

The Eyes
Eyes
They are more than everywhere
They are in heads, in conscience, in thought
Not telepathic, but yet they are Meanings
Meanings that must be shared by every side
Good, Bad, Unknown, Insane, Sane, Dull or Lively
They bring up spirits one way or other
Good is a smile and uprising feeling
Bad is what needs to be done, and the relief after
Unknown is it self and the other, it makes us think
Insane makes us feel special, to excite us
Sane makes us look at it by facts, to calm us
Dull is straight up, the uncared, those who see it ...
