Are you a wall that needs to be put up
Or one that needs to be knocked down

Dear Sarcasm
Are you an acceptable form of humor
Or a laceration to ones heart

Dear Sarcasm
Should I combat your urges
Or let your desires be fulfilled

Dear Sarcasm
Do you have your spot in good taste
Or should you be abolished from this place


Note: this poem is a work in progress

I feel so far away from reality
I feel so hated by the world, by Christians, by life
I feel so rejected by everything, everyone

God use me
God teach me
God love me
God care for me

I’m not wrong for thinking

Having an opinion doesn’t make me wrong
Differences are what make us

Saying sorry doesn’t make the pain go away
The hurt still remains the same

If time truly heals all wounds or just causes us to forget
It still won’t stop

So respect me and I’ll respect you
But don’t expect an apology out of me

About the poem: This poem is written to show my view on what apology often are. It’s not to say that I’m always right or that my opinion is the only one. It’s more of a poem to make you think.

Someday that

Sometime this
Sometime that

What will ever get done?
If all we do is keep on putting things off

What will be come of this world?
If all we do is keep on procrastinating

What will be accomplished?
If all that happens is we say “I’ll do it later”

Why can’t we just suck it up and do stuff?
Then maybe we can change this world

How we scream but it feels like nothing comes out or no one hears us. This is just a poem about life sometimes.

I can’t break free from this dream
I can see the end, it’s so close
I’m running, chasing, pursuing
I scream but nothing comes out, not even a shout
I need to wake up from this reality

Gray and gloomy, if you only knew me

You say you see right through me
But there’s more than meets the eye

I’m really not a bad guy
It just takes time to view me

In my thoughts.

Confused.
About my desires.

Selfish.
Striving for what I want.

Lonely.
In this world.

We all want to be heard,
But no one wants to listen.

We all want respect,
But don’t want to respect others.

We all want to be loved,
But don’t want to love.

Maybe I just need a hug or maybe I should give up and move to the Emo Farm

I have regrets, I need forgiveness.

I am human, I am selfish.
I expect to much, get too little.

I am human, I doubt.
I am loved, yet I want more.

I am human.

NOTE: This poem is still in the works expect it to be edited at a later date.

You do not have a Monopoly on cool
Step away from your daily Operation
And take some Risk
Stay out of Trouble
Sorry life does not always go your way
It’s not one big Candyland
Live your LIFE it’s more than a game

This song is out of tune
And this book won’t ever be published

Sometimes it doesn’t need to rhyme to be said
Sometimes it doesn’t need to be on key to be heard
And sometimes it doesn’t need to be read to be true

Maybe it doesn’t need to rhyme
Maybe it doesn’t need to be in magnificent harmony
And maybe it doesn’t need to be punctuated perfectly

Say the words as they are meant to be spoken
Listen to the music as it is
And read the words as they are written

My poem will still be written
My song will still be sung
And my story will still be told
