Expression

I'm not always good with words,
saying how I feel seems wrong.
All I have ever wanted
was the one thing I could never have.
One thing that was always denied me.

I jumped in with both feet,
when I should have used my head.
Is it wrong for me to want things?
Wrong to be selfish on occasion?

Sometimes I act without thinking,
I say things I regret,
I hurt those around me.
Perhaps I should leave well enough alone,
not try to examine what I feel.

Shut myself off as I have before.
Part of me can't do this,
part of me wants to yell and scream,
to say yes! I have been done wrong.

Yet part of me just wants
that one little thing that I can't seem to find.
When I do I am not sure how to deal
I just want to be loved,
I want it to be real. 

Going Down

The doors slid silently closed behind him. He turned, pushing the button for the main floor. The gears screeched as the elevator jerked into motion. He listened to the music that was piped in over the speakers above him, the sound lulling him into a semi hypnotic state. His cell phone vibrated in his pocket, interrupting his thoughts. He reached in and grabbed it, hitting “answer”. “Hello?” he said cheerily. “Are you ready to die?” the muffled voice crooned. “What?” he asked confused. The elevator staggered to a stop. All of the buttons lit at once, and then went dark. The sudden motion made him fall into the wall. He grabbed the bar to steady himself. “I asked if you were ready to die,” the voice repeated. The elevator began moving up, then the gears shuddered to life, and he began to fall. “Who are you? Why are you doing this?” he screamed. “You should have known better than to mess with me, Kyle,” the raspy voice exclaimed. “Kyle? I’m not Kyle. He called in sick. I was assigned his phone because mine died,” he said pleading. “Don’t play games with me Kyle. I’m no fool,” the voice said. The elevator jerked again, and he screamed. “I swear! I will swear on a stack of bibles. My name is not Kyle!” he shouted fruitlessly. “That’s what they all say,” came the reply. The elevator suddenly let go, speeding down the shaft. The gears protested as they echoed through the tiny room. When it finally hit the ground, the walls collapsed in on itself. When the fire department and paramedics pried the lifeless body out, a woman who had just entered the building, screamed. “Oh my god, that’s… that’s Brian!” she exclaimed as a sheet was placed over the body. She fainted. ‘I guess that wasn’t Kyle after all,’ whispered a hoarse voice. As he walked away, he dropped a remote into his pocket.

What I want

I want more strength in my life.

I want to be selfish, to be free,

to have all the little things

that will make me happy.

I want peace of mind, to be loved,

and share my heart, without fear of who I am.

I want to smile, to laugh,

even to be myself without fear in my heart.

I want to let go of the hurt, let go of the anger,

let go of the friends who do nothing but cause me pain.

I will succeed, have all I desire,

be free with who I am then I will be content.

Colors

If I were a color,

what color would I be?

Would I be blue?

For without you beside me

I just couldn’t see.

Would I be red?

For the passion in my heart

would be taking hold?

I am unprepared if that happens,

I want to fight being cold.

Would I be green?

For the things I have seen

could make me jealous.

The wanting, the desires,

perhaps make me over zealous.

Would I be grey?

The world filled with its magic

Yet, I would be to sad to enjoy it.

Now that would truly be tragic.

Would I be white?

With everything I have inside

That I want to share with the world.

I no longer want to run and hide.

So I ask you If I were a color

what color would I be?

Searching

Trying to find that special someone.

Everywhere I looked you were there.

I felt you here just yesterday

when I closed my eyes.

Once I opened them again,

you were gone.

 

Frantically I searched,

praying you were okay.

Each moment that passed

felt longer than the one before.

 

Hopelessness, loss, emptiness,

nothing held any meaning.

Confusion was all that was left.

The fog lifted,

I realized where you were.

 

This whole time you were there,

you never left,

you held me in your hands…

For you are me.

The Game

The game of life.

Empty promises are just meaningless words

from someone who doesn’t really care.

Why should I have ever believed you would?

I’ve been down this road a time or two

trying to make sense of what has come to pass.

I try another long road and wonder

what will happen when I get there.

Will it be another set of lies that await me?

I will find out one way or another,

I guess In the end it’s all the same.

It’s not who wins or loses-

It’s how you play the game.
