Battle Scars

poetry, this is not

the hardest was letting go
not taking part
you really broke my heart
and i tried to say
when i couldn't think of anything
and that was the hardest part
i could feel it go down
you left the sweetest taste
in my mouth
silver lining in the cloud
oh and i wonder what it's all about.

could i please refrain from using coldplay lyrics in my blog? i think that would do everyone a service.
but the truth is, i write better when inspired and this inspires me. so deal with it.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==--==--==
brace yourself
cuz this is about to ugly
and real
and several more things
that you don't want it to be

i'm a failure in 99 percent
of the word's meaning
my life, encapsulated
isn't worth the oxygen
it required to live

or so i thought.

you're a kind soul
underneath the bullshit
you've had to endure

your heart is big
and full of love
and sometimes,
when things are going my way,
you send that love

my way

i take it in
even when i'm a little
in awe of the words you say

back and forth
we write in this form
sending invitations of love
receiving rsvps in return

if i never meet you in this life, let me feel the lack

they say it can't be real
if it wasn't written to glorify
but glorifty what i say?
you? him? the sky? what?
you're full of it
and what's worse is
you know it

you're fake. we're fake.
this world, in all its shapes
and sizes
has fake potential

or so i thought.

love, it's what i love
dual functions, mult-functions

it makes me believe
in the things i use to deem
unbelievable

i was a prisoner. you set me free

drop music
not bombs
tell that to our President Bloodsucker

eat our young. decry freedom.
yellow ribbons don't unbreak mom's heart

support justice. not this.
blood red, white and blue
let toby keith pen a masterpiece
about truth

i'm sick of your lies
don't use my god
to fulfill your agenda

his hands are clean.
it's your hands
stained with oil and greens
that has the blood on them.

my friends went away.
returned. but not the same.
this is your fault
you hate-monger

aids. poverty. global warming.
issues that are important.
personal vengeance doesn't
quite make the list.
but it pays

they say i'm a conspiracy
theorist
that what i say is just
micheal-moore inspired hate

but they don't take the time
to look up the information for themselve

and i guess i'm to blame
for spending too much time
on matter of this world
but the things we do
in this world
reflect the things that
happen in the next

tell that to him
he who uses my god
to fufill his agenda

the blood is on your hands.
the 1700 boys and girls,
staring at the celing
of a coffin
are on your hands

and all the herry falwells will
never understand

what will come of this time
of uncertainty?

i don't know.
