Alone

I cry out to those

Around looking for a friend

No one seems to care

Depression is Like

Depression is like

A spear of ice

Stuck into your heart

Freezing you

From the inside out

Depression is like

Living in a world of shadows

No sun to warm you

Always cold

Always alone

You can hear people talking

But they sound

Distant and far away

Depression is like

Being half dead

You may be alive

To the world around you

However

You feel dead inside

Free

Free as the wing blows

Nothing to hold me

Nothing to hinder my dreams

I set my goals

I believe in my dreams

I will follow them to the end

there will be people to say I'm crazy

I can't do that

Why even try

I have a spirit

Afire inside

That pushes me forward

That will not die

As a poet

As a poet

I bare my soul

Opening my heart

Letting my emotions flow

As a poet

I explore the world around

Feeling the very core of existence

Laying the beat down

As a poet

I get stressed

Pouring out my emotions

Help me untangel that mess

As a poet

I am emotionally charged

Letting the world know

My words come from the heart

Beautiful

Beautiful in heart, mind, and soul

Engaging personality

Always caring about others

Utilizing your strengths

Talented as well as smart

Intelligent conversations

Fun to be around

Unrestraint truth

Loving and kind

Common Ground

I know we come from different

Backgrounds

Cultures

Lifestyles

Families

Let us find a common ground

Let us work up from there

For we can be friends

If we just give it a chance

Tear down the boundaries between us

Throw away that which sets us apart from each other

Let us join hand in hand

In true fellowship with one another

In honesty and truth

On the way to world peace

Starting with me and you

Dreams

I dreamed I was a spaceman

High above the Earth

About the size of a football field

Although twice as long

All this space makes me feel strong

I dreamed I was a Cowboy

Riding upon the range

Within the sun and the rain

With my horse and saddle

Always by my side

Anything these cattle do

I take in stride

I dreamed I was a mighty sailor

Here among the waves

Pirates attack

I send them to a watery grave

I am the greatest sailor

The world has ever known

Here upon the waves

The ocean is my home

I dreamed I was a soldier

In a land out far

I returned home

Emotionally wounded

Highly battle scared

I fought for freedom

For all within the land

For that freedom

I made my stand

I dreamed I was a Hippie

Spreading peace throughout the land

Against war and injustice

I make my stand

“Peace not war”

Would be my battle cry

I would sound that call

Until the day I die

Friend

I

Am a

Friend to those

Who need a friend

Spread kindness around this world needs all it can get

I write Down

I write down my feelings

I write down my thoughts

To release the tension

Growing upon my heart

Peace

Peace is what we need

Not hatred

Peace is what we need

Not fighting

Sow the seeds of peace

Do away with war

Sow the seeds of peace

We'll killing each other

Nobody wins

Everyone looses

Children loose parents

Neighbors loose friends

Wives loose husbands

Husbands loose wives

Make peace

Not war

Give peace a chance

Put away your guns

Give peace a chance

Let's just have fun

sincere

If you don’t stand sincere by your words
how sincere can other people be
Take great care over words, treasure them 

The Machine

They wave their signs

While standing in picket lines

Saying

Down with the machine

Down with the oppression

They march

They protest

Against the tyranny upon the land

They fight for their rights

As well As

The rights of those around them

Knowing full well

That they make themselves targets

Targets for the machine to hunt down

Targets for the machine to capture

And

Destroy

Still

They rage war against the machine

They rage war against the falsehood

That has become truth

Wisdom

True wisdom

Comes from life

Lived in full

Angels

Angels are messengers sent to us by God

They are from a land far above

When you are in trouble and you need a friend who cares

Just get on your knees and say a little prayer

God will send an angel to be beside you on your way

So remember there is an angel walking with you every single day

 Because of which you should never be afraid

By The Lake

Here by the lake I sit

Thinking about life

Wandering if It's worth it

The hurt and the pain

The Sorrow and rain

Flood my soul

With depths of which untold

As I watch the ripples upon the lake

I feel as though my life's at stake

Being ripped apart

Straight from the heart

A pain of despair

I feel my life is going nowhere

Here at the lake I sit

Thinking about life

Wondering if it's worth it

Cows

Cows

Break fence

Chase them down

Bring back and fix

Fence

Drugs

Don't

Do drugs

Live your life

Drugs will only

Shorten your life span

So don't do drugs

It's a waste

Of your

Time

Friend

He watches the other kids

Playing outside

He wishes he could be a part of the fun

A part of their world

Laughed at all day at school

Home now

Crying in the corner of his room

He does not understand

Why they seem to hate him so

He tries to be a nice guy

He tries to be friends

However

Everyone laughs at him instead

What has he done

He wonders

What is so funny

Why does nobody like him

He seems to be

The outcast

The Loner

Though he wishes

That were not so

He wishes to have friends

As well as be a friend

Maybe someday

He will find a friend

Maybe someday

Someone will let him in

Out of the dark and gloom

Into the light

Someone will see what a great person he is

Someone will be his friend

I feel

Some days I feel as if I can fly

I could spread my wings and soar

As high as an Eagle

As high as the tallest mountain

No holding back

Free as the wind

Nothing to tie me down

Some days I feel as if nothing can touch me

I am the strongest of the strong

I could stop that speeding bullet

More powerful that an Army tank

I can stand against anything

Nothing can slow me down

Some days I feel anything is possible

That all is within my reach

All I have to do is go for it

Nothing can stop me

I ran the race and I have won

Some days I feel like taking life head on

Showing it who’s boss

Grabbing life by the horns and giving it a shake

Letting life know it can not stand in my way

I will knock it over

I will keep on going

Without even looking back

Some days I feel as if I could accomplish anything

My wildest dreams could come true

All is possible

Nothing is out of my reach

Every goal

Every dream

Can be mine in reality
