Over Ten Years

It's been over ten years since I last picked up a pen

Going through lots of stuff as I let my emotions bled

They turned into words on the page

Some could relate, others couldn't.

Guess we all go through the same struggles differently

Some keep an open mind

Others shut it off like it's forbidden to see the light of others

As I sit at my computer wondering if I can dust off that part of my brain

To collect my words and let them bleed again

Will people be able to relate

Or will they refuse to read

With the way the world is, they maybe something that will cause a stampede

No ReWrites

Never understood why poets choose to rewrite things years later

Doing so isn't going to make things any greater

It makes no sense to me, you were in some sort of zone at the time of writing

Now you have a better chance of running around with an empty jar trying to catch lightning

If you couldn't capture what you wanted to say when you first sat putting pen to paper

Then the only ink you should be allowed to touch is of that of a newspaper

Guessing those who truly do things like that are most talentless

They are trying to take something of old and dazzle us

When in reality what they wrote did nothing but baffle us

You can't relaunch the titanic in hopes for greater results

The history is now fortold on that one, trying to do anything other is just going to bring insults

Shane

Half Asleep

Woke up, half asleep

Body half awake

Walking to the bathroom looking like Igor

Dragging one leg

Seen some dumb shit of a poet post

Getting his ovaries into a knot

Guess some can't deal with constructive criticism

He's no doubt use to telling others what to do

Sad that dimentia has kicked in

Or stupidity

Or both

Shane

Always Important

Always important to post your writing on public site then get pissy with criticisim

He claims catholic but at the end of the day he's an orthodox wannabe-ism

Telling someone your better than they and you know what your doing

He's no doubt one of the first that when he sees something he dives right into viewing

Especially when that's what a comment section is used for

If this site was ranked by talent his score would be below the floor

But I guess when people get old dimensia kicks in

Seems like he's got a pattern, as he's now acting like he's committed a sin

They forget simple things like that

The way he acts he must be a little boy thinking he's in a spat

Here we are in a world where everything is offensive

Claiming he's on oxygen, man these lies must get expensive

He's no doubt the one who should get paint thrown at him

Since his knowledge is obviously quite thin

Always thinking that he's right with no matter what he says

Borrowing can also be stealing, but this is where he'll dive into the words public domain

Like it's a safe haven, but at the end of the world his writing is nothing more than a stain

On a site full of talented individuals

Better not go against the lies he has set as principals

You have to excuse the old dumb shit, most men have testicles drop

He's not most but his ovaries have since dried up and began to rot

Shane

Napoleon Complex

One thinks they are bigger and above the rest

He must walk around with his hands holding his own vest

Looking down upon the world

All comments he get are deleted

He stands above all of you, you have all been defeated

To annoy him is truly entertaining, you already know how he thinks

As he looks down upon us as he drinks

He claims he is on O2, but someone should switch it to He

Then he would be entertaining and we'd all laugh and the older folks will slap ones knee

But according to Napolean nobody else is allowed to write

As none of us has a paper from school giving us permission, so our words are invalid and he is always right

Dear Mr Napolean

We know you will never change

As to you the real world is strange

It doesn't make sense as you don't understand how things go

You think everyone needs a degree, but sadly your mind is slow

Dear Mr Napolean

Time to write something religious

So you can beg for forgiveness

As your mind is so fragile

It's starting to come unraveled

Shane

They Say It Gets Better

Many people say life gets better

But I don't see it

The way people work it can't get better for everyone

As you have to be able to compare it to something to say it's gotten better

You can compare it to your past if you want and say it's gotten better

You can compare it to homeless people to say it's better

But it's natural to compare things

This is better than that

That is better than this

They say life gets better

But it can't for all of us

Some of us have to struggle and get no where

Comparing is just human nature

We all do it

Shane

Some People Get it, Others get pissy and keep writing

Some people like to be original from top to bottom

Others like to write what one can easily call fan fiction poetry

Taking food from others mouths and basing the writing around that

No originality they got the subject in hand

Now time to destroy the classics

Guess some too old are too stupid to realize this

Talentless hacks

No talent

No intelligence

But I see many are like that, stealing subjects from other writers

Try to make it stand out

Failing in the process

Guess this is what poetry is on this site, a sad excuse

Shane

Trapped

Trapped between four walls

The darkness is all I can see, even as my eyes adjust

I swear I see things darker than the darkness

Some days I dare to open the front door, when the sun is bright

I quickly slam the door and hide like a vampire

The days I venture out

The town is empty

Nobody is around, everyone else is hiding in doors

Guess this is the life we live in, I'm not alone

So many people are afraid to leave

Now they have things in lockdown

This appears to be the new norm

The world has grown empty

Shane

Burning Churches

More bodies found

Churches burned

Has hell came to earth ?

People cling to the faith they have in hopes of being saved

Others sit back and watch the world burn

We are all helpless

Statues defaced, pulled down

Ashamed of what those people are linked to

People have too much time

People too sensitive, judging the past

Who made them jury and executionerer

This is the world we live in

This will be the world we die in

Shane

Bolts in the sky

The sky lit up with bolts

As I raised the body up

The bolts dance more and more

Finally it strikes the right cord

It's alive, it's alive

As I scream like a satanic man

It's eyes open

The body twitching

I can see it's life flowing through it

Shane

Gave her the boot

Tired of hearing things like "I fucked your girl"

She stood there not defending her actions but smiling

The amount of people who said that was easily in the twenties

Guess the girl had no respect for herself

She truly had no velvet rope to get into that club

So I gave her the boot

Said see ya, adios, get the fuck out

But then her parents wouldn't do anything so I let her live with me

Until she got herself back on her feet, being able to put aside enough to afford rent

Rather than end up on the street, dumb bitch kept running her mouth to her friends about me

Now I bet her whore-ish ways got her being ed around at truck stops

Hope she's smart enough to get paid, but I doubt it
