Pre 45
Necessity
Give in to me
And you will see
I'm no temporary
What will you be
What brings you glee
Can it make you free
All that is me
Is a tendency
For the extreme
So no longer flee
Bow on one knee
Give in to me
Filled with fury
Strong and Sturdy
Monotony kills me
If you don't hurry
Bring a dish and serve me
I fear I will see
Doom brought to me.
eVERY oNE
Must I be like you
Must you be like me
Let me do what i want to do
And I'll just leave you be
Individuals die
But no one cares
A lone personality
Withstanding all their stares
"WE are great"
and "WE are good"
"WE don't want you"
I heard and understood
One has power
A group can endeavor
Image is all
Forever and ever
Where did every one go
Why did they all die
Where did every one flee
leaving me alone to weep and cry
I WILL NOT CONFORM TO YOU
and I WILL NOT SUBMIT
I WILL NOT GIVE IN TO YOU
and I WILL NEVER QUIT
Being me
Just being me
Cause that's all I am
that's all I want
It's all I ask
Is to be just me.
The Hyde-aline
Every time i let up
The pressure comes in crashing
level low adrenaline
Starts the serpent thrashing
Start a war to end a crime
Wash the grim away
Compact the trash to lay it low
And hope night will be day
Never will I rest again
Under flaming trees
Relaxed enough of discipline
To ignore the amber haze
I must figure out these feelings now
inside this aching heart
Anger rises quicker now
Tearing what i am apart
What I want isn't abolishment
I want CONRTOL!
Death of an Artist
I think, I create
so called art
Itemized feelings
That tear me apart
Imitation of life
You cheer us on
You give us fuel
You don't understand
The pain we feel
It's not art it's life you fool
And it won't end
A death wail becomes a song
A suicide note becomes a poem
The splatter of red and grey
Becomes art on a whitewall canvas
And I scream as you kill us
Scream as you murder us
Are we sick? Are we dead?
Left cold and alone
Our sickness is fed
Don't you care?
Don't you feel?
Please don't stare
We'll be gone soon enough
Then where will you be
You'd be lost and alone
You'd be exactly like me.
Doing
Do what I ask
I'll give you what you want
Do what I demand
I'll give you what you need
You cannot decide today
You cannot control
I'll decide everything
And you'll pay my toll
I give what I can
I give what I know
You do what I ask
A dog for a Biscuit
Personality
I
I Am
I am John
Only john
Only Me
I can't control
My personality
You can give me looks
I'll let you see
Me alone, me, supreme
What Am I
How Can I
Who am I
I am John
I am
I
Free Choice
What am I suppose to do
who am I suppose to be
Left alone my hate grew
Now I yearn to be free
Choices; Made in life
Choices; Made for fun
Choices; Avoiding strife
Choices; for freedom
I was given birth
Beaten to life
Brought to the earth
And given no damn choices
So boxed in I live
Asked how much I care
I'll tell you what I give
I just can't pay the fair
Choices; Made for life
Choices; Made for fun
Choices; Avoiding strife
Choices; for freedom
Permanency
Unfeeling
Unmoving
Uncaring child
Unknowing
Unloving
What future can you have
What path can you know
Left alone
Until your nearly grown
Torn apart
Ripped to shred
Neglected heart
Where hate is bred
Take your time
Wait and see
When you done
Repeat after me
I take this women till death do us part
Then you can laugh
And break her heart.
In a Glass Container
You sit alone
on a small bed
Listening to the dark
Praying for help
Not knowing whom you pray to
I can't help
I don't know
The image
the aforemath
Burns in my soul
a raging inferno
of rage , fears and Tear
A sea of troubles
Separates your bed
From me from the world
You can't swim
But a knife
A knife offers solace
Like a serpent offers life
I see, i reach,
I die
Inner Gauze
The Dream of every man
The hope of every boy
Now has a name
Now has a breath
All that was what I wanted
Total sensation I craved
Could, would be answered
And tears my eyes with joy would fill
An artist in my arms
Like a puppy full of adoration
So, cute, so full of new life
But I can't hold you
For fear I will corrupt myself
For fear I will crush the life
Out of my love, Out of my life
Out of the Rain
The pounding Rain
I bring out of myself
A frame of bone
A fabric of flesh
Forming an umbrella out of I
I guard you, cover you
Love you.
Comfort
I want to hold you
Erase your past pain
I want to comfort you
Wash away the stain
You let me near enough
But I'm so lost
What can I do
And what is the cost
I want you to be safe
And I want you to feel loved
Always cherished and cared for
Never hated or shoved
Whatever it is you feel,
I want to feel it too
And I want you always to know
I will always love you
When Alone
I spend my time alone
But I need you at my side
I cannot contain
These emotions inside
You skin and your smell at hand
I need a cure of that kind
If I cannot withstand
I'm bound to lose my mind
I want your warm recluse
I want to feel your touch
I want you to infuse
I've never felt so much
Now it's all darkness
Now I face confusion
Now I face the darkness
Now I face execution
I don't want to know the past
It's in the past
Can't do anything about the past
It's in the past
But what I do here is now
Not in the past
What I do for you it's
Not in the past.
Trite Expressions
There is a twinkle
A spark in the night
A flash of light
Expressions trite
But undoubtedly true
To the amazement of many
to the thrill of few
You came into my life.
