This Is Me Trying To Write The Best Poem I Can

The most romantic line I've ever written:

I wish you could see the statues I've built in my mind for you!
You only see the scaffolding.

I tried to write a song so pretty, you had to be mine. Instead, you see the Treble Clef that I carved into my left wrist.

The lines, they come and go. Some are gold and some are coal. But you HAVE to know!
I want to tell you that you can change the world! Because you've changed my whole world.

Six months ago, I sat here cold and alone, just waiting for the rain to give me a fresh start. And you stole my heart.

If you won't see how incredible you are, if you only see that you're a thief, if you can only see that you stole my heart! How you got past the guards, and alligators in the moat. How you managed to avoid the security cameras and climb the barbed wire fences. That's incredible!

You refuse to see your beauty in the mirror. But that doesn't mean you can't see the joy in me Right Here!

This poem is not about me, it's about you!

You see, the most honest poetry I produce is the worst. Because when I'm honest. I sit at the computer and type lines that don't mean a thing. Mean a thing.  You make me wanna Sing!

On the nature of daylight is where I'm at!






I'm sad because the plants that grow in the cracks of the sidewalks get poisoned.
I'm sad because nobody really changes.

I'm happy because you are alive.
I'm happy because you are what's keeping me alive inside.

My heart goes out and you pump me up.

Is this a suicide note?

No.
I'm just being honest.

My thoughts are not intact. I have to act. On my actions. They're present. They take control.

I'm young!
But while a voice
Within me cries
I'm sure some one may answer my call.

And this bitter earth
May not be so bitter after all.

I just don't want my life to be like the dust that hides the glow of a rose.
