While the majority of my written work tends to be more adult in nature, long before I started down that path I used to only write poetry and lyrics. One nearly even got turned into a song back when 5Fm was doing the band mashup thing, sadly it got beat out by a mushy romance song. ;P These are random works that have built up over the years, some have been used or will be used in my stories. There are a few curse words in the below, but I have tried to censor as best as possible without changing the tone or pacing of the pieces.
Belong
A square peg in a round hole
No one knows the true shape of your soul
They tell you that you're wrong
They tell you that you don't belong
So you hide from them heart and mind
Because you know they'll never accept one of your kind
You wish they could see,
Or that they'd just simply let you be
But they're cruel, cold and blind
Wouldn't it be easier to just leave their world behind?
Trying to fit in despite how much it hurts
Pretty makeup, tight tops and short skirts
Portraying the image they want you to be
If you showed them real, they'd probably flee
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Seethe
Give an inch, they take a mile
But all you can do is sit there and smile
Soon they'll take everything you have to give
Is that really how you want to live?
Piece by piece you sell your soul
They've taken all they can and its taken its toll
Breathing, growing this anger inside
Until enough is enough and you can no longer hide
Fire and brimstone, Hell and torment
Teach them a lesson they won't soon forget
Stand your ground, don't back down
The time has come, adorn your fiery crown
Give them hell, take no prisoners
Spread the word, to all your listeners
Cast aside your modest shackles
The time has come to raise your hackles
Seethe in anger, burn in hatred
Become that which they dread
Seethe in anger, burn in hatred
Become that which they dread
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Free me
I need you to walk away because I'm not strong enough to end this
But how can I stop when you're the only reason I exist
Living without you is like trying to breath without air
But I can't be with you, so how is that fair
Every part of me wants every part of you
It's driving me insane, I don't know what to do
Rip my heart out from my chest
Give me peace so my mind can rest
Consumed by dreams and thoughts of you
Got me so love drunk I don't know what I should do
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Regret
My soul is being torn asunder by feelings of anguish and regret.
Harsh words in heated moments I can't forget.
Give me my righteous vengeance, or give me peace of mind.
I miss the life you made me leave behind.
First you broke my heart
You came into my life and ripped my world apart
Now you blame me for not living up to your expectations
I'm tired of being a plaything in your sadistic fascinations
I tried my best for you, but still you wanted more
But still you only treated me like an expendable wh0re
As much of my life I gave you, it was never enough
I'm tired of your sh!t, this time I'm calling your bluff
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
More than this
There's got to be more to life than this
Waking up doing the same sh!t every day
Selling your soul and sanity for minimum pay
There's got to be more to life than this
We were meant for more than slavery
Shackled to a meager existence barely surviving
Working our fingers to the bone in an economy that is diving
Do we keep on going out of fear or bravery?
All we hear every day is of violence and hate
Living in a world filled with pain and sadness
Good still exists in this world of madness
Those are the people with whom I can relate
There's got to be more to life than this
There are close and special people to me
It's just sad they're all across the sea
I know there is more to life than this
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Break your heart
Did you think this time was going to be different?
Same old bullsh!t in every fight and argument
You thought I'd stand idle and let you break me down again?
Do your worst, I love the pain
Don't play with broken things
We have a nasty way of breaking you too
Kick that hornets nest and feel how it stings
Making rash judgements without a f'n clue
I used to think you were the missing piece of my puzzle
But all this time it was my heart and mind you tried to muzzle
Now I see our picture of love was too different
To being your slave I do not consent
I used to care about you
At least until you gave me reason not to
We could've had it all
Instead you just set us up for a fall
I can give you what you need
But I never truly needed you
Now it's your hear that'll bleed
I'm moving on without you
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Incomplete/Still in progress works
When
When did hate become more important than life
When will enough finally be enough
It will start as a whisper which soon turns into a roar
When innocents are lost, we have something worth fighting for
Why can't you see we're more alike than different
In killing us you're only killing yourself
Your borders and fanaticisms are all in your mind
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
F U
If I ever felt that itch
It was only because you were such a frigid b!tch
You called me a liar, a cheater and so many other words
Now you're alone complaining how much it hurts
You said you didn't trust me
I find that funny as the only one lying was you
I gave you everything I had and still you wanted more
I broke boundaries I swore I never would
I'm tired of your pity party and dirty little tricks
If you knew what I thought of you now, you'd sh!t bricks.
I used to think I saw a future with you
Now nothing but a faded memory without hue
I used to be a nice guy until I met you,
You think I should say I'm sorry, but all I want to say is Fsck you.
You nearly killed the biggest part of me
Love isn't filled with confrontation and compromising only on one side
I shouldn't have to shy away from me, nothing should have to hide.
