Maybe poetry isn’t my calling
Maybe science isn’t for me
Maybe laughing and smiling
Aren’t exactly my strengths
Or even getting by from day to day
Maybe I don’t have any talents
Tonight... I'll release the pain!
Tonight... I'll show you who I am!
A sight... I'm afraid to let you see!
A fright... A monster of a man!
I've been trying for so long to let them see,
maybe someday i'll understand
maybe someday i'll know why
maybe someday i can make my own choices
maybe someday we can talk about it
maybe someday we can be friends again
maybe someday we can laugh about it
Dear Uncertainty,
Maybe
life will turn out good.
I'll be content and have withstood
all of life's roadblocks,
knock on wood.

my tears weren't because i lost you
maybe because i was alone
with my own thoughts
maybe i was in love with the attention you gave me
maybe i was in love with you

He is actually a pathological liar whose nose grows everytime he tells the truth.
But Disney wanted to keep that part a secret.
Why?
Maybe it was the stars at night
that triggered my poetic flight.
Maybe it was the heat of fire
that made my soul aspire.
Maybe it was the cold wind from the north
that brought my dexterity forth.
"I am so different now
I never wanted to stand out
I wanted to fade into the crowd
But my thoughts were just too loud
A whisper to a shout
The words come pouring out."
I pledge Allegiance to the flag
of the United States of America.
This first line always makes me queasy.
It doesn't sound
I've been staring at the ceiling,
it is off white,
and bumpy,
and very, very boring.
sometimes it is so lonely your chest feels like its made of glass,
I think the saddest word is maybe
Maybe I did It
Maybe it was not me
Maybe I will never admit
If I may be a good girl
Maybe I should wait
Maybe my mistake wasn't loving you.
Maybe my mistake was.
Maybe my mistake was letting you go.
Maybe my mistake wasn't.
Maybe my,
Maybe this,
Maybe, Maybe, Maybe...
Maybe you still care?
I do.
I sit in a tireless pit
A rage of violence that he let sit
I can be a good boy
Yes, I may
I can't help it that I am gay
I sit under the hellish gray
Awaiting the day I see painted skys
If I aspire to nothing I will be nothing.
If I work hard I'll only be disappointed
But...
If I work for me I will achieve greatness.
If I live to love I shall crash and burn.
i look down
my toes are wiggling nurvously, as the blinking number between my feet
is not where i want it to be.
i close my eyes.

He's white and tan and blond
smoldering blue eyes
He plays baseball, a star jock
She's black, well brown-skinned actually
Her hair is jet black and shiny,
Shoulder length and gloriously curly
she looks at herself in a mirror
she looks at her face
at first glance
she is relieved
she feels okay that this is who she is
and in okay with the fact that she cant change that
stared at her
The girl I loved
And she stared back
As tears glistened
In her deep brown
Glossy eyes
She took my hand
With hers
She took my hand
Should I hold it all in...or should I cry it all out?
But I don't want to disappoint them,
I don't want to be given the doubt.
They think I'm strong.
They think I can do better.
But how can I?
Becoming a part of but I don't
Feeling separate and different
Not considered or thought of
Even when we are so close
My presense vanishes in your sight
As brave as I am I can't make you value me
it's true, I say
that the pain stays inside
that we don't know where to hide
but why? you ask
because we're broken
because we're lost
because we are alone
I pray that love sets me free and though im blinded by hate, love overcomes me.
I pray that one day I learn to live so that I wont be afraid to die and that there remains many reasons in this world for which I will never have to cry.
Maybe I'll start today or tonite
Maybe I'll think on a daily
Maybe I'll give him what he wants
Maybe she'll recognize me
Maybe this will be the last time I feel pain
Maybe I can do this!
I believe that you're special.
I believe that when you hear my voice you smile.
I believe that your heart skips when you see me.
I believe you love me.
I believe that you know you were wrong.
Dark Whisperer,
Dark Whisperer, hush up
For I am terrified
I can no longer endure
Yet another night
Of the taunting, and the pain
No longer can I stifle you
And it's driving me insane.
Because bad things happen
And then life gets hard
Hope is lost along the way
But you must hold on
Because giving up is not an option
And failure means defeat
I love your attitude and how you're never rude
So many men in the world so you had to choose
So I'm the lucky one on this special day
That gets to be with a mothers beautiful bay bay
I wonder what its like
to be happy
to be someone who isn't me
to be normal
to not have these thoughts
to be able to just "fit in"
just one of those people who's there
who every one likes
I need closure
I need to know
why
why you said those words
how they tasted when they left your lips
little did you know their outcome
you cant tell someone "go die" and expect them to be okay after that
I dream a dream so dear and ture.
but to see you be in such a mood,
make my dream come fade.
I want to see you dream A dream I do.
but in these darkened halls,
I see and hear no dream.
Don’t Give Up On Me
Don’t give up on me
I’ll lend a hand and meet you halfway
We will stand by each other’s side day by day
Hold you close and hold you near; please never be afraid to whisper to me your biggest fear
One mind
Incapable of Change
Like a paper airplane
making the same folds
since you've been this old
Unable to watch it sore
From the fears it'll crash into the floor.
You make it seem so sure
A girl pictures herself as someone other than her.
A girl who has everything that anyone would be envious of.
She feels as though there is no hope for her.
I was cute when I was four till I was abandon and forgotten
now theirs hate, mistreating and rejection started to become common
I hate when people ask about my parent's its to awkward
Going to class shoelaces untied and I don’t mind,
Got my head down, headphones in, walking a straight line,
Keep moving forward without a doubt leave the past behind,
So, they say that words have power
that we create matter,
but all of my words
haven't felt like they have power.
I hear them laugh and joke and play.
I see their smiles as clear as day.
They’re talking to their "BFFs".
While they dance and sing, I’m by myself.
You see darkness in my eyes
The pain in the tears that I cry
You used to hold my hand
But that has come to an end
All that I ask is that you don't judge me in the end.
Let’s pretend for a moment,
Let’s say I like you, and you like me
We fall in love, A life of simplicity
Ladies and Gentlemen...
We are gathered here today to celebrate something wonderful.
A life.
