BARS

The bars around here
Have shown him little respect
He tries to break em
But he likes the good news
So he just climbs to the top
And takes the easy way around
He's only rising
Cause their's nothing to lose

The bars around here
Are of a different sect
He's gonna break em
From the top of a roof
He can climb to the top
Then take the easy way down
He's sick of fighting
While he can't even move



++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++
SOLITUDE
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Let me pretend
I'm by myself
Leave me here all alone
Is someone there
Beside myself
So far away
But I'm not gone

It worries me
Am I myself
I know I'm all alone
I wonder where
I lost myself
So far away
But I'm not gone



++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++
THE LIFE BOSS
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++

He thinks you need to frown inside
I't's for the life boss so open wide
And won't you sing a happy tune
Don't make him wait he's in no mood
Now you need to close your eyes
Lend him the element of surprise
Let's turn that frown back around
And toss those pills down on the ground

You only care
Cause it's your loss
It's sure not mine
At such a cost
Been swell life boss
It's time to quit
And that's my life
I'm taking it



++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++
MR. PUNCHLINE
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++

He's the one who sat alone in school
Mister punchline
What a twist
The not as popular not as strong
Easy target
Never missed

You had all the friends you needed
Just to show him
Who was best
I guess you happy fucks were right
You showed him
Ignorance is bliss

That's why he sits there all alone
And bleeding from the wrist



++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++
MY BEAUTIFUL NOOSE
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Oh I remember a time
When I still had something to show
But inside and out
I've become all alone

And I remember a place
Where I was warm and at home
But inside and out
It's all broken and cold

Yet still I can't begin to know
Oh well
I guess I used to
Or so I've been told

Still I think it's time that
Someone chimed in
Just to let me go
Cause someone out there has to know
Oh was there really even anything out there
And did I ever have something to lose
Please don't pitty me
I'm better than ever
Hanging from my beautiful noose



++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++
ONE OF THEM
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++

One of them dosn't give a shit
But It's alright
He says he can't
It gets to me
Didn't seem to be trying

One of them just can't see things clear
I understand
He thinks he can
It's really sad
Doesn't think that I'm crying

One of them seemed alot like me
Which makes me sick
Explains a bit
It frightens me
Can't tell if I'm lying

    Um, am I reading these right? They seem to be a bit suicidal.
    Are you okay? :(

    Well, the clues are there to be sure.

    The "easy way down" is to fall in the first one, the "I'm taking my life" in the second one, the "bleeding from the wrist" in another and "hanging from the noose" in yet another! :( :(

  • I sincerely hope you're ok - because you've got talent - we all have to use what we have to create beauty in this world, for some of us unfortunately we have to tap into the pain of solitude, of the thoughts of freedom that choke away all else inside of our head, tempering all of our judgements, when the walls turn black and all we see is the tinge of maroon at the ends of our fingers.

    It is good to fool darkness into becoming words, and then letting it out, just let it out and feel better, for, as you see, people worry about you, and, you have talent.

    You can choose between let the new day roll over you, or surf its first wave ...choose the last ;)
  • here is an all in all reply to everyone at once, sorry for the delay i don't really keep up. glad you seem to like them, i dont like a couple of em myself cause im still working on alot of them and im unsatisfied with the current incarnations of some... hmm and going back through and reading what i posted here, i already have changed some of these quite a bit. might update it later on

    for the questions and comments about the poems:

    a couple of them ya i actually have made into songs not all of them. and yes i do play bass and sing not in a band though by myself... and actually not at all lately because i broke my bass guitar on my old appartment a while back, or i broke my old appartment with my bass guitar... hm i guess they kindof broke on eachother. anyways i dont have enough money for a new one yet.

    for those of you who were wondering about my condition;

    i find it diifficult to awnser questions like, "are you okay?" because it dosn't mean anything to me. its variable and subjective. i mean i could go into listing what aspects of life i am currently enjoying and others i am not enjoying at any given time they can change. and whats more my idea of okay might be much different than yours. so its hard for me.

    all i can say is that i easilly have an extremely different perspective on life and just values iand mindset in general than what i would asume the average individual has. i don't really want to get into it though because people dont really tend to be able to walk in my shoes without me having to try and rationalize a bunch of stuff i don't feel like getting into with them. if the shoe fits wear it to each their own and so on.

    i think i got everyone
