When He’s Around…

When he’s around I just seem to smile
I have this feeling everytime I see him
I can’t explain it
It’s the way he looks at me
No no no it’s the way he talks
It’s everything about him
My stomach gets flipped upside down just by looking at him
The way his eyes glisin
Just everything about him
When he’s around can’t do anything but smile

The Sun

It must be lonely, being the Sun
Alone every day, that can’t be fun
No matter if the winD blows west
Or if the clouds protest
Always alone
No chance to poStpone
How do yoU not quit
I would just admit
And walk away,
Taking with you the light of day
But then again, we would all die
So maybe you should stay iN the sky

Plenty

Friends, there’s plenty
Some care for you,
Some would die for you,
An some love you .

But some just turn out to be false,
Or disrespectful , or just
Nothing of what they seem to be.

So be careful who you hang out with
Because there’s friends, there’s plenty, but you
Never know who will be the ones who turn on you.

what is happiness

It’s yellow that brightens up your day
It’s that thing in your stomach the joy of excitement
The thing you can’t wait to happen
The thing that makes you crazy
The thing that makes your friends go what’s wrong with him
Its thing that stays with you
The thing that gives you a smile that gives other people smiles

innocence

Flowers fluttering to the floor
There
A beautiful child is born
A perfect being with hair of silk
Whose eyes are as creamy as the lightest milk
Born in a land corrupted by gilt
Safe for now in a homemade quilt
But corruption is creeping
And all joy is fleeing
This pure little child
Is no more
The purest hearts now stained by blood
This innocence has been undone

The Black Hole

The mellow
disturbing
lack of sound
within
the
outskirts
Of The
black
Hole
Made
Manny
Shake
vigorously
His
Face
Tensed
his
Eyebrows
Twitched and
An
Exodus Of
Sweat
Excreted
Out of
His pores
His
Vocal Cords
Were
Overworked
To
The
Point
Where If
There Was Sound
In Space
His Scream
Would Be
Heard
Throughout The Galaxy
Manny’s hands
Elongated
To
The
Point
Where
His Eyes
Couldn’t Even
See
His
fingertips
He
Never
Thought
That
In His Lifetime
He Would
Experience The
Feeling Of
10,000
Bullet Ants
on
Each Square
Inch
Of His Skin
Yet
This Was
His
Punishment For

Tree

I sway in the wind,
Pray to the air,
Gleaming in the sun,
Beautiful as a cloud,
I stand.
I watch the stars,
When they glide by,
Watching the moon,
Gazing.
Some say I’m ugly,
Some say pretty,
I say everyone is pretty,
In their own way.
Nature is crying for exploration.
So come enjoy nature,
With me,
The tree.

Just to Feel

At some point in life
You realise your place
In a world so big
What will you ever really do?
So there you are
Sitting numb at the thought
You want to feel
Feel like you’re making a difference
Like you mean something
Like you deserve a spot on this crazy world
that we call home
Now you feel sad
You felt inspired for a mere moment
Thinking you could make a difference
But now you know
You never will
So now you’re sad
Wishing you could be that underdog on TV
Showing the world you really can
But now you’re frustrated
Feeling useless as you realise your size
What will you do?
What can you do?
Nothing
That’s the worst part of it
You know you won’t try
Because no matter the thoughts
There are others saying no
Saying stop, go back, don’t try
There you are
Not doing anything
Because a thought said no
You told yourself no
When all you wanna hear is yes
But how can this internal war happen
How could you contradict yourself?
You feel numb
Such a rush of emotions
leaves you empty of any others
So now you desire
To feel something
Anything
After awhile you don’t just desire
You are desperate
And we all know desperate animals lash out
But how can you lash out
If you are being cornered by your own mind?
You lash out in the only way you know how
You take what is inside and you yank it out
You purge, you bleed, you cry
You try everything too feel again
Even if it is a bad feeling
It’s a feeling
Now you are stuck
If you take this new feeling too far
You end up hurting more than you wanted to
You want to jump, drown, sleep
But you want to feel the finale
But you also want to feel tomorrow
You want to jump, but walk away
You want to drown, but swim to shore
You want to sleep, but wake up
With the hope of feeling the next day
Feeling something
Feeling anything
