I'm told I need to live my life.
So no I can't stay in my room.
I'm told I need to get a girl.
So no I can't stand alone.
I'm told I need to cut my hair.
So no I can't grow it out.

You tell me to grab life when it's in reach,
But no you've got to swat it away from me.
You tell me that my choices are my own,
But no I can't make any bad ones.
You tell me to do everything you failed to,
But no, failure didn't kill you did it?

You say I'm one of the smartest people in the world,
So why should I have to listen to what you and others think i need?

Three Weeks

The countdown begins
clock watch, clock watch
second hand slips
backwards, it seems
taking so long
to meet the hour
and yet these hours
fall into the days
of the three weeks I wait
seemingly eternity
to be with you again
no longer to watch
this damned law-abiding clock
which ticks down by the second
and not by the hour
making me ache
with the longing and pain
in just waiting
just waiting
to be with you again

Interesting. I like the "law-abiding clock".

Curse you rules of time and space.

Ehehe, here is a poem for a person I promised for their birthday, but it's kinda late. Anyways, here it is.

It's your birthday today?
Oh me oh my!
I kinda forgot it though
Let me tell you why...

I had a birthday cake
It kinda...collapsed
I left your ice cream out
So it really...didn't last
I had a present for you
But too much...the cost
Reservations to a restaurant
I kinda...got lost
And entertainment was ordered
But they got...detained
And the outside fireworks
Got wet...it rained
And the food I prepared
Everyone...they ate
But you didn't show up
Until three hours...too late!

So, you had a birthday
And yes, it was that day
But unfortunately for me
Things didn't go my way...

Heheheh, there you go.

;;; Sorry it was late.

Sun Drop

Gotel del Sol

Amo beber esta materia!
Sol Del gotel

Usted puede derretir una bifurcaci�n en ella!

It's a local drink over here in North Carolina. It has the highest caffiene count out of all the nearby state's sodas and is highly corrosive, ruins teeth and leads to peeing blood, Needless to say I'm addicted to the stuff.

Ack! My heart! (collapses in front of computer)

Summer happiness/Yearly sadness

I smile to the rain
Tiny droplets wash me here
Cleanse the evil now

The fog envelops
Consuming all who enter
Smiling I am there

The trees near and thick
I smile from their high tops
I�m right at home here
------------------------------------
But not forever
The desert land tortures me
Why live in this drought

The cloudless sky burns
It takes away my pleasure
Where is the rain now

Please take me away
I cannot stand this place
I want to go home

Funka Genocide · 04-22-2005, 09:20 AM

ending

the shadows of your heart
wondering why we start
we slowly fall apart

I tried to see the sunshine
baby, tried to make up my mind
fate has her own designs

so let me be your secret
locked inside you keep it
so blind I couldn't see it

you'll kill us all
just us enthralled
this heart so mauled

I thought I loved you madly
let you use me gladly
but I was lying sadly

to myself

What is "love"?

A painful thing
Brings joy, brings hope
So many wrong turns
Twisted, squeezed
Spread out like a map
Contorted again and again
This word, "love"

Edge of heaven
Brink of despair
Changed irrevocably
Who is the person I see
Caught within this "love"?

Not me, not me
The mirror lies
I change, I regress
A shadow of myself
Because of this "love"

My joy rings hollow
My heaven is shallow
The past I wallow
Possesion of this "love"

Love....

"Love is just a word."

----------------------------------
....angsty people of the world, unite!

"But a word?"
But a word is not just a word
And no word is more so.
A Poet knows best this
for when joined together
when proximity awakens
the resonant frequencies of phrase
which have the unmistakable power
to uplift
to depress
to gratify the hunger of the human soul
to know its neighbors
"But a word?"
No word alone has deeper truth than this
No word alone a greater bargain
For no word brings so many poignant thoughts
Holds our heart in iron locks
for so few syllables uttered
And when set next to others
Say "true"
or "eternal"
or even "lost"
No word emotes the stronger.
Love is a word
"But a word"
But a word that is more than most.
