A23's Poetry/Lyrics Thread

[Thomas]

Well since I have decided to post stuff here I am just gonna make a thread for all my stuff...I wont add old stuff...but here is something I just wrote cuase I have been feeling really distracted latetly.

Distractions

Drivers on the street
Voices in my head
Distracting my attention
Makes me feel so dead

I try to keep my focus
Keep my head straight
But they keep on coming
Making me feel the weight

Coming from all directions
I feel their effect on me
Losing my attention
From things I need to see
Keeping me from finishing
The things I need to do
Wishing them to go away
Even your a distraction too

Medicine doesn't help me
ADD is full of s***
Why cant anyone help me
Cause they cant see one bit

No one seems to notice
I cant keep one task
You try and help me
All you're doing is harass

Coming from all directions
I feel their effect on me
Losing my attention
From things I need to see
Keeping me from finishing
The things I need to do
Wishing them to go away
Even your a distraction too

As I go to sleep
Distractions come at me
Go in me so deep
Deeper than you can see
Down in me they seep

Don't even try to help me
I cant even help myself
I have to figure out a way
How to make these distractions
To leave, but always seem to stay

Coming from all directions
I feel their effect on me
Losing my attention
From things I need to see
Keeping me from finishing
The things I need to do
Wishing them to go away
Even your a distraction too

I wrote this for a contest...it is called

Utopia Revealed

What is Utopia?
Is it a word?
Is it a dream?
It is our greatest fantasies,
Alive in reality,
There is no one Utopia.
For it would fail to others.
On man's Utopia,
Could be another man's Hell.
Heavenly bliss,
could be fiery Hell.
Soaring through skies,
could be dying in fire.
There is no Utopia.
There never could be.
There never will be.

This is my next poem...please read this in a literal AND symbolic sense

Dark Of Night

The dark of night covers me
Fill me with fears
Spirits rise at sunset
Wandering the streets
Hiding from their evil pull
Feeling their control
I try to pull away
But they make my soul a hole
It tears my heart to pieces
For I now feel empty inside
No way to feel whole again
Unless the sun should arise

This song won a bronze medal in a poetry contest:

Can't You Just...

Can't you just leave me alone
Can't you just go on home
Can't you just take a break
Can't you just get off my case
I know you want the best
But this is not a test

Can't take this anymore
You wont walk out the door
Can't you leave me alone
You annoy me to the bone
Can't take this anymore
You make me feel so sore

Can't you just take a seat
You won't stop til I'm beat
You break me to the core
You come knock down my door
Can't you just leave me alone
You've won now just go home

Can't take this anymore
You wont walk out the door
Can't you leave me alone
You annoy me to the bone
Can't take this anymore
You make me feel so sore

This will not sufice
You've ruined my life
Only my body lies
As my spirit dies
All I can say
Is that you're gonna pay!

Can't take this anymore
You wont walk out the door
Can't you leave me alone
You annoy me to the bone
Can't take this anymore
You make me feel so sore

This is probably my most celebrated song to date

Rumors

Why do they always hurt so much
Rumors spreading down the hall
They burn when you feel thier touch
Lies misconscrewed to be truth

The one who spread these awful lies
Should go away, lay down and die
Sometimes rumors can hurt som much
Dying when you feel thier touch

Lying on the ground
Feelings all around
Thinking how this could be true
Thinking what I'd say to you

Drowning in a pool of tears
Wishing away all my fears
You were the one that started this
They arent forever but hard to dismiss

The one who spread these awful lies
Should go away, lay down and die
Sometimes rumors can hurt som much
Dying when you feel thier touch

As rumors fade away
The feelings never say
A new day comes
And you start again
But the rumors don't stop
They never end

The one who spread these awful lies
Should go away, lay down and die
Sometimes rumors can hurt som much
Dying when you feel thier touch

I also liked writing this one:

Regret

Regret for not doing anything
Anything I wanted to do
I need to get off my a**
And live the way I should

Regret is what I am feeling
Feeling sorry for myeslef
I want to be a "somebody" so bad
But I dont know what it is

I regret not trying
In all the things I do
I wish I could go back in time
To fix the things I blew

I know that time cant go back
But I still have the future in mind
I want to be a better person for now
And live while I have time
