Dawn

It's dawn

I hate going to sleep when it's daylight

But we always do

It's a sickness we have,

Me and you

Amongst other things 

We can't bear to speak

But the morning light is worst of all

But somehow it's where we always meet, 

Me and you

We live through the darkness

It's the source of our power

The moonlight supplies our solar energy

But this sickness is getting the best of me,

Me and you

We have much more to live for

Let's stop closing our eyes towards the sun

Because the darkness can't hold us forever

We're growing older by the second,

Me and you

Life (OctPoWriMo2015-Day 31)

Life is a journey

Take it one day at a time

I hate cliches 

But I guess it's true

We can't control everything

And the things we can

We have to learn to let go sometime

Most of life is luck

Very little is hard work

Being at the right place at the right time

Making the right decision

Even though you had no idea it was the "right" one

We punish for things we didn't cause

And celebrate things we don't deserve

But that's life

And it's all we have

Until we're done here

Life is a journey

Enjoy it

Live it

Take it

Cry it

Love it

Senses (OctPoWriMo2015-Day 30)

I can still feel you near

But I can't touch you

What such despair!

I can't see you anymore

And the tears blur my vision

Can't figure out what all this is for

I remember your smell

But now your scent is gone

And there's nothing left to tell

I can still hear your voice

It's in my head all the time

But I'm forced to do without it, I don't have a choice

I have the bitter taste of regret

Just sitting there on my tongue

But there's no going back, time is already set...

For The Better (OctPoWriMo2015-Day 29)

Nothing's the same

And I always fear change

When I'm not sure if it's for the better

I like routine

And you don't get what that means

So, I'm not sure it's for the better

Some things you want to end

While others you want to mend

God, I hope it's for the better

Maybe I'll like it

Or accept what I get

We'll see if it's for the better

The Best Mistake (OctPoWriMo2015-Day 25)

I was addicted to sadness

It was my favorite mistake

I embraced my inner madness

And it opened the gates

Locking myself alone

Was my favorite childhood pastime

Practicing a bitter tone

Developing anger I could call mine

And I may have been 5 years old

But I knew what I was doing

Sadness was the only thing I could hold

Something new inside was brewing

But it made me who I am

So, what are you going to do?

It opened up a flooded dam

My favorite mistake was missing you

 

The Best Corner (OctPoWriMo2015-Day 24)

I'll find the best corner at the party and live it up

Blue lights blinking on and off

I'll sit until you notice me

Won't leave until you notice me...

I'll look on and wish that I could be so free

I watch you laugh

But you don't notice me

Won't leave until you notice me

I'll talk to you and share some jokes

While the loud music plays

You finally noticed me

Won't leave until you notice me

 I'll make my way out the door

Simply because I know

Even though we spoke, you didn't notice me

You'll never notice me... 

Science? (OctPoWriMo2015-Day 23)

Everything great starts with a fall

Just like everything big starts with something small

We're all just pieces of atoms

Stardust combined

And out comes this person, destined for something big

It's inside of us all, we just have to dig

We're all alive because of a cell

We all have futures no one can tell

Something hidden on the inside

Unfathomable things

We're nothing but gathered elements

Struggling to make the best of our presence

Lies and Truth (OctPoWriMo2015-Day 22)

I'm a rebel at heart

I'm a timid soul

I love a good crowd

I love to be alone

Two lies and a truth

More like 3 truths and a lie

Which one is it?

Go ahead, take your time.

Over/Under Whelmed (OctPoWriMo2015-Day 21)

Over or under

There's no in between

I'm overwhelmed 

With my passions and dreams

My mind won't stop racing

The time moves too fast

My body won't stop pacing

How long will it last?

I'm underwhelmed by life

There's not much to it

It bores me by the night

So I just think and sit

Of new ways to make it happen

Don't know where I'm going

I can hear my brain laughing

Not sure what I'm sowing

For Specs Alexander...(To The Moon & Back)(OctPoWriMo2015-Day 20)

You may be older and don't run around like you used to

But I still love you to the moon and back

You may be bad and tear up things that's new

But I love you to the moon and back

And nothing will ever change that

You may not be feeling well these days

And we're not sure what exactly is wrong

But I'm sure you'll be okay

Because you've always been strong

I'll love you to the moon and back

You may only be 13 pounds but you're so much bigger to me

I'll love you to the moon and back

I promise I won't ever leave

Even when your time is limited, that day will come

But none of that will change a thing

Because the moon isn't far enough

Neither is the sun

So I'm rooting for you my Poodle Love

I mean it, you're the best dog in the world

Because no one comes close

Not a boy or any girl

You're the only one who can make my heart skip a beat

And I'm trying to keep this poem short, nice and sweet

But I don't think no one understands

Or gets it just like that

No matter what happens, I'll love you to the moon and back

And far beyond...

 

Dear One (OctPoWriMo2015-Day 19)

Dear old friends, you sort of took who I was

Sigh...

Dear the ones who had so much to say, my confidence shattered

Thanks

Dear anyone who would listen, I'm slowly getting it back

Watch

Dear the ones who helped, it's all appreciated

Truth

Dear who I am, it's all up to you

Go
