Laid my foundation on the mountain,
Where I can always see overseas
Over here I nay live in misery,
All around me is beautiful scenery
Made success from your failures,
See how wise it is you been a failure,
Now I'm addicted to these anti-failure pills,
Swallow a handful everytime I see a single failure
‘mbr when I was down?chased me from my hometown
Back then I’d walk bare foot,
Now a million of you cant ‘fit in my shoes’
I cause a stampede with every step of my feet
And a pothole with every wheel of my car
I'm the...
Where I can always see overseas
Over here I nay live in misery,
All around me is beautiful scenery
Made success from your failures,
See how wise it is you been a failure,
Now I'm addicted to these anti-failure pills,
Swallow a handful everytime I see a single failure
‘mbr when I was down?chased me from my hometown

My First Love
Had never thought I'd find,
Just one of her kind
Was the queen to crown,
Young, without frown
Her color bright brown,
Clothing a beautiful gown
I asked her to be mine,
Thought she'd decline
But she said it was fine
With love, made my heart shine
Then she promised to be a companion
One committed to our dominion
My feelings never to bend,
All differences to mend
Just one of her kind
Was the queen to crown,
Young, without frown
Her color bright brown,
Clothing a beautiful gown
I asked her to be mine,
Thought she'd decline
But she said it was fine
With love, made my heart shine
Then she promised to be a companion
One committed to our dominion
My feelings never to bend,
All differences to mend

Finally! Found a place i wholly fit
A place i now belong
The perfect destination,
Relieved.
I appreciate,
DU poetry community
A place i need not try to fit in,
Cause they already accepted me
Here, they all real
The brothers n sisters that I never had
Now my family feels complete

...I just wanna...
I wanna be happy,
Normal
I wanna stare at my mirror with a smile
I wanna find motivation in my failures,
Perfection in my imperfections
And safety in my insecurities
I wanna learn what it's like to wake up in the morning and not feel sad
And what it's like to walk down the street and not have to look over my shoulder
I just want "perfect" to be real
And all that's "real" to be perfect
Normal
I wanna stare at my mirror with a smile
I wanna find motivation in my failures,
Perfection in my imperfections
And safety in my insecurities
I wanna learn what it's like to wake up in the morning and not feel sad
And what it's like to walk down the street and not have to look over my shoulder
I just want "perfect" to be real
And all that's "real" to be perfect

I have a wish
I have a wish
So solemn a wish
simpletons could never guess
If I let it out
Geniuses would sweat comprehending
Wish you could read,
this piece off my mind
Sparing ink and paper
So heavy a wish I bear
Peace of mind I yearn for
But words wont come
Not even a stammer
Wish I could complete this piece
say my wish
That's just a wish too
And maybe you'll wish you hadn't read this
But that's also just a .....

...torn apart...
Inside I feel empty,
Torn apart, worn out
Don't know what to write,
But won't pen off
It's like there's something to say,
But it just won't come out
There's voices in my head,
But I can't listen along
Cause it's all but a tone off
Chocking on guilt,
The guilt of letting me down
Fear of regrets to come,
The shake of fate's wrath
Maybe it's not yet too late
But where do i begin? When?
Torn apart, worn out
Don't know what to write,
But won't pen off
It's like there's something to say,
But it just won't come out
There's voices in my head,
But I can't listen along
Cause it's all but a tone off
Chocking on guilt,
The guilt of letting me down
Fear of regrets to come,
The shake of fate's wrath
Maybe it's not yet too late
But where do i begin? When?
