Without you.what is a twister without the wind?
What is a high-tide without the moon?
What is a fish without its school?
The result would be me when im not with you

The fish is alone, easy picking for prey
The water can not progress, it is stuck at bay
The twister would fade, just lost in the air
And so that is me, when you aren't there.

The River bankWhen I'm down I like to tell myself
Everything will be okay
But when it just becomes a lie to myself
I take a walk down to the river bank

When I'm there I just watch the water flow
and feel envy for it's simplicity
Why does it get to lie around all day
Whilst life comes and tortures me

Then I think to myself everything has it's place
And every dog will truly have it's day
I may not be able to bite back right now
but i must build up the courage to stay

Stand strong in the face of pure aggravation
Stand strong when I am feeling weak
Stand strong because the very river that i had envied
Continues to push itself to reach it's peak

So I walk a

Goodbye for now, Goodbye for laterThe Goodbye for now hurts me
And it is for your pleasure alone you see
For you are the only one who gains
And your heart he'll "Forever" Keep

But little did you know my dear
that you weren't the only one
Now your sitting there all alone
while they are together on the run

The Goodbye for later hurts us both
For as you try to come to me
I am forced to pull up the courage
To tell you its just not to be

Because if you were willing to leave me
for someone who you barely knew
then i know that you would do it again
And then i can no longer blame you.

So cry on my shoulder if you need to
I never said we couldn't be friends
but as far as love is

Shed a tear for the Marine

Shed a tear for the Marine
for he is not allowed to cry
He's as tough as he can be
And they're never allowed to hide

Shed a tear for the Marine
for when the world is calling
They are the first ones to the field
To fight for those that have fallen

I shed a tear for my Marine
For he means the world to me
And I feel safer now at night
Knowing he's watching over me

Shed a tear for the Marine
For time doesn't fly by
Three long months in Paris Island
And he's a Marine until he dies

So Shed a tear for the Marine
For he is not allowed to cry
He is more than just a soldier
He is a friend to all mankind

What do you want from me?The smile on my face
The confidence in my walk
The happiness in my voice
You took it from me

The Love in my eyes
The courage in my heart
The meaning in my soul
You took it from me

The friends by my side
The good memories in my mind
The soft hands i held in mine
You took it from me

That smile is now a frown
I walk slow and alone
My voice is low and quiet
You gave that to me

The love turned to hatred
The courage turned to weakness
The meaning has been forgotten
You gave that to me

The friends turned into enemies
Good memories turned into nightmares
The soft hands have abandoned me
You gave that to me

All of these things I have lost
And al

What is a smile without a frown?What is life
Without death

What is Peace
without war

What is pleasure
Without pain

What is a smile
without a frown

what is the sun
without the moon

What is me
Without you?

somethings in life you experience for a reason
To do deal with the snow while your going through the seasons

What's the point of a smile if you don't know how to frown
If you never felt the struggle you should not receive a crown

Once you know how it is like to go from the bottom to the top
Then you can truly make a difference for the ones who could not

And no matter what they say you know you changed the world a little
And turned a war to peace And saved a life t

Brand new me.Hate me if you like!
I'm sure I'm an easy target.
Fill me with your lies,
I'll be like a balloon with a hole in it.

Do me a big favor,
And just save your breath.
Ive done all i could to please you.
Now give your fury a rest.

I Make no plans to stand out.
And I refuse to ever fit in.
I Wont settle to be a stereotype,
Im Satisfied Being Justin.

I may not See it all the time,
i may not always admit it...
But there is plenty that i love about myself,
and I'd fight to the death to defend it.

I may not be the perfect shade,
or have Abs like a surfboard model...
But I'll be there when things get heated,
Ill be the leader that you'd want to follo

A place to lay my headSo far I have traveled
So much blood has been shed
but all I'm really after is
A place to lay my head

The weather is frightful
and the roads plagued with danger
I failed to add to a solution
Completely driven by my anger

But I am not the same
I'm not the man i was before
I promise to have changed
no longer living by the sword

If I can not convince you,
Allow me just one full night of peace
Just a mattress and a cover
and maybe a little something to eat

For tomorrow is a new day
"A warrior's nightmare", my father said
"As every day is a new journey for
A place to lay your head."

Rescue meShe left me no options
Her words hit like toxins
Tried so hard to stop them
But can you rescue me...?

Now I'm stuck with no patience
All alone, Contemplating
While the world keeps on hating
But you can set me free...

Death row is a certain
When life is my burden
Put an end to the torment
But can you rescue me...?

No more shedding tears now
The world stands in wait now
As life's taking me down
But you can set me free...

Take my hand and set me free
Break my chains and rescue me
Show me what I was too blind to see
You can save my life...

Take me away to some place new
that's far away, just me and you
Show me what some love can do
You can

To Abandon a broken HeartYou treat me like a monster
Left me all alone
The Phantom in your picture
Just searching for a home

You tell me that I'm nothing
Not so hard to believe
You told me that you love me
But that I can not see

I let my perfect guard down
Some how I let you in
I didn't mean to bug you
I just wanted a friend

Now You and everyone else
Will be driven away
I'll just remain by myself
I'll never be okay...

..Goodbye

The truthBeing alone is how I live
Been this way since I was young
I watched the other children play
And heard the happy songs be sung

But I was exiled to myself
Expected to smile with my back to a wall
It takes a village to raise a child
But it seems they all just watched me fall

I heard the others make plans to hang
And I was never invited to be "in"
Not "in" amongst any of the crowds
as if my very presence was a sin

Those who do choose to have me around
Just call me depressed and tend to avoid me
I searched for someone to treat me as a friend
Someone who would be willing to set me free

But every time someone starts to show
That maybe i'm not a

Send me awaySend me away
To a place not tracked my miles
I know you don't want me to stay
So maybe now you can finally smile

Send me away
Like everyone else has before you
I'll find a new place to lay
For what else is a broken man to do

Send me away
Yet again I will play as the fool
Tear up my heart just to play
Then toss me like a useless tool

Send me away
What more can you want from me
Your leaving my heart to decay
So just let go and leave me be

Send me away
Away so I can go back to being alone
Go back to being cast astray
And go back to a world without a home.

I walk along this Barren Path.I walk along this barren path,
Fighting back thoughts that haunt my past.

"what's the matter, you look really sad?".
A simple Question, that nobody asked.

I hate to be defined by the things that i did,
And be robbed of second chance for me to live...

But somehow the world may be a better place,
if the rest of it never got to see my face.

But i wont stand here and complain of my fate,
too many chances i had and didn't take.

Now my route is set and ill follow it to my end.
As I've given up my search for someone to call a friend .

I just Silently Continue to do my Lonely Acts,
Walking along this barren Path.

Where have you gone?You promised to have my back
When everything went to hell
You promised to stand beside me
And catch me before I fell

But where are you now?
Where are you now?

You said you would be my friend
And that I would never be alone
You said You would always be there
And make my broken house a home

But where are you now?
Where are you now?

You told me just trust and believe
And I swear on my life that I had
You told me you'd make everything okay
So I trusted that things wouldn't go bad

But where are you now?
Where are you now?

So Now I sit and fight this alone
I have no use for you anymore
I will find another to make my house a home
Someone who w

ReunitedIt's been too long
Since I held your hand
Since I've seen your face
Since I was your man

It's been so hard
Without seeing your face
Without hearing your voice
Feeling your warm embrace

It's been so sad
Without seeing your smile
That brightened my day
Made me feel like a child

It feels so good
To have you back again
To have your hands in mine
To feel like we're back then

It feels like heaven
Now that you're by my side
Now that you're in my arms
Now that you're in my life

It feels Like perfection
Since we are together
I can't tell if it's real
but I hope it's forever.

She's in my headYou came into my world
Your just my kind of girl
I love your smile and
i need you more everyday

I want to hold you close
I dream of you the most
I'm far from perfect
but i pray that your coming my way

I know your far from me
But your my destiny
Call me crazy but
I pray that your willing to stay

I waited for so long
And now ill sing my song
And if it's foolish
then please don't you cast me astray...

Your in my head
Your in my head...

So tell me when to stop
I know that your meant for me
but I wont let you drop
unless its to lay next to me

I know that you are tough
but I'm here when you need me
So let me hold you close
'Cause you know it

True Love(Lies)You tell me that you love me
but another story
Your actions tell

they say True love is open
You buried ours
in a dirty shell

I knew that you would do this
But your eyes hooked me
just Like a spell

Hidden motives in your eyes
Turned my heaven
Into Hell

barely knew you beyond a glare
Hidden in a crowd
Forced to stare

Caught in your presence
A social trap
Learned my lesson

Now that we are through
hurt someone else
its what you do

I'll be on to someone new
And she'll be my queen
And will be better than you...

Little JohnnyThere's a fire in your heart tonight.
Frozen still and yet it's burning bright.
Broken with fear but anxious to fight.
You know that victory is within your sight.

But how did you get here?
You were only a grunt six months ago,
Shedding your final tear.

Not much of a winner...
You poured all of your heart out,
Looking for better.

But now your life is at stake,
From decisions you made.
And now your wondering,
If it was worth it...

But I'm telling you we rise... and fall.
But to prove your a man you endured it all.
You step up with the risks... you take.
But don't ever regret the decisions you make.

But now the danger has you scared.
A litt

Who are we?Who are we,
to be considered below your feet?
Who are we,
To be chained away and beat?
Who are we,
To be Taken from our families?
Who are we,
To be pushed inches from insanity?

We are human beings!
Our Skin black but we bleed red.
We should be building bridges between us,
But we burn them instead...
Our wise tell us to accept it,
As they shiver with fear...
But who are we to do nothing,
As death horridly draws near?

I wish my eyes were a mirror

Literature / Poetry / Emotional / Free Verse

I wish my eyes were a mirror
so you can see you as i see
your heart was crushed by an image
built by a cruel society

I wish my eyes were a mirror
So that i may help you to believe
that what they say is lies
and show you how you are to me

I wish my Heart could speak clearer
to help you understand
that you are the only person
that can fill my empty hands

I wish i could be your savior
Wipe away your fresh tears
i would gently say i love you
as i hold you through the years

And i wish my soul was a healer
to undo all of the pain
Make all their hostile efforts
finally end in vain

But to you im just a stranger
or "Just friends at best"
because you fear that i will hurt you
just like all the rest

So i wish my eyes were a mirror
So you can see you as i see
And ill continue to count the days
until you become one with me.

This is a very well written piece, one which I really enjoyed reading.

"I wish my eyes were a mirror
so you can see you as i see
your heart was crushed by an image
built by a cruel society"

The opening is great, I love the 'my eyes were a mirror' bit. That is such awesome imagery right there. But I like how this introduces the rest of the poem.

My favourite part, overall, is:

"I wish i could be your savior
Wipe away your fresh tears
i would gently say i love you
as i hold you through the years"

Well done, I love it

*Ghostjay55 Apr 26, 2013 Hobbyist Writer

Thanks

*TheDarkenedBride Jan 19, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

this is really touching, I like it

in fact it sounds like song lyrics

with a good chorus I think it wouldn't be worse than many of the songs you hear on the radio these days

*Ghostjay55 Jan 19, 2013 Hobbyist Writer

hehe thanks. I do think it could make a good song but i kinda like it best as a poem for now lol most of the songs i end up putting on here arent really great
