Just found out, it comes out March 23
I can not wait til then yeah, haven't they finished it now?
Why do they have to build up? I hate it when they do that!
I want to see it now

Gary, why you, why you take so long?
Killing time playing the games in my yard
Oh my friend Violet is killing more than time
My hand is bleeding hard now, I don't see a band aid
I will win this game, then I'll rub it in her face

Don't Judge a PersonI can be gentleDon't Judge a Person in Free Verse More Like This
Inside and out
I can touch you
Without you knowing
I can be caring
For someone who is hurt
But I can be strong
Inside and out as well
I can make dents
In a tree trunk
I can make holes in a wall
In a full burst of anger
I can be an actor
Inside and out too
I can smile and laugh
When I want to cry and scream
I can tell my self I'm ok
When I'm not even close
Don't judge a person by their smile
Don't judge a person by how they look
Don't judge a person by what they wear
Don't judge a person
By their cover
Glimmer of the EyeLook into the eyes of certainty,Glimmer of the Eye in Free Verse More Like This
Can you feel the rain that goes there?
Shake your head in dismay because you cannot
But you did see a glimmer
Where did it go?
Strangely nowhere.
It's still there, look closely
But you turn your head away,
Like a fool you think of yourself
Laughing they may play you
Because the glimmer you saw,
It was no illusion
You run, looking for an answer
Stop at every corner, every alley
But you find no one
Everything and everyone has deserted you
But that glimmer
You want to find it, nay you must
Where did it go?
You ask yourself constantly
Tears of joy nor of melancholy can tell you
Neither can an
HurtI'm hurtHurt in Free Verse More Like This
because i hurt you.
You may not notice it,
or even think i care,
but i do.
More than you know.
I can't believe i hurt you,
it was never my intention.
I know you can't forgive me,
why would you?
I'm probably just a memory,
waiting to fade in your mind.
I want you to know,
that i love you though.
You'll always have a place in my heart.
I'm just sorry,
that i hurt you.
I've said it over and over,
but you don't seem to believe,
that i am.
I wish i could go back in time,
undo what i did.
But what's done is done.
I know that.
All i want,
is for you to forgive.
That's all i ask.
Can you do that for me?
Day 18The sky is falling;Day 18 in Free Verse More Like This
there is no boundary between Heaven and Earth.
On the roads, the cars are buried,
frantic wheels digging six inches down to the dirt.
The shops are shut up,
business shut down,
everything still and silent, except the sky
falling softly and lightly in flakes all around.
12. InsanityIt was fun, wasn't it?12. Insanity in Free Verse More Like This
Watching us run around cluelessly
in your mind's eye.
Knowing you had us both under your thumb,
in the palm of your hands, wrapped around your finger.
Wasn't it funny? HAHA!
Isn't it funny how pathetic you are?
Isn't it funny how you have us on strings
because you have to have us under control?
Isn't it funny that nobody's laughing?
Isn't it funny? HAHA!
You're as mad as March's maddest hare,
as mad as the maddest of hatters.
Aren't you so clever,
dictating so many lives?
Aren't you so clever,
bending Fate to your will?
Aren't you so clever?
Aren't you so funny?
HA! HA!
9. CutWho wears the crimson cuts under their cuffs, over their vein?9. Cut in Free Verse More Like This
Who couldn't put up with the pain, cracked under pressure, gave way?
Their heart hammers with mine, their hurt is my own,
the damage they did to themselves is duplicated on me.
This misled, wretched misery whose mourning cost them dear
is standing somewhere, so alone,
and never realising that the one they need needs them too,
is still looking for them, longing for them, also alone and grieving.
Are they afraid? Afraid of the fissure that waits,
the deep dark abyss, daring them to leap?
I will be their light, their learned guide to lead them through,
I will be their net,
Sonnet 2I meet you here ev'ry night, in the landSonnet 2 in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
beyond reality, in the land where
anything is possible. Take my hand,
show me how to love: nocturnal affair
in Dreamland. You've never failed me, loyal
lover, faithful friend. Do not rush morning -
instead, beg the stars to stay, instead, toil
to keep them, because when they stop shining,
I must leave. These dreams make reality
seem so irksome, because you are not there
to start my heart beating again. Set me
on fire and light up my dreams like a flare.
I know I can sleep all night safe and sound
with you in my dreams, spinning my world 'round.
BetweenThey sat in the near-silent exam hall,Between in Free Verse More Like This
just one row between them,
their arms folded on their desks,
theirs heads in their arms,
their complete exam papers beneath them.
He sat and thought how she was
clever and funny and sweet
and so far out of his league.
She sat and thought how he was
charming and confident
and would never consider a girl like her.
And the invigilator stood before them
and told them to put down their pens,
though they did that an hour ago.
And she chanced one last glance as she stood up
and he watched her go,
he watched as she was swallowed by the crowd.
They sat in the near-silent exam hall,

Would You?i.Would You? in Free Verse More Like This
If I was to take your hand in mine,
would you hold it tightly,
so that you might never let go?
Would you kiss my knuckles oh, so delicately,
your lips brushing my skin like butterflies' wingtips?
Or would you slide your hand away from me,
tuck it safely inside your pocket,
maybe take a few steps away,
widen the distance between us?
ii.
If I told you that I loved you,
would you return the sentiment?
Would you look so deeply into my eyes
that I would feel my entire soul open to you?
Or would you cast me adrift
on the wide Sea of Friendship, never to set foot with you
on the golden beaches of Relationship?

DecoratedThey told me that it would take away the sorrow,Decorated in Free Verse More Like This
that the grief would leave with the blood,
that the physical pain would drown out the emotional hurt.
But now my wrists are decorated
with the sketches of wasted heartbreak,
sanguine poetry and stinging tears,
because my physical pain threshold withstood the onslaught
but my mind was delicate,
so it became a habit
and my skin will never be smooth again.
A Heart-full of EmptinessI knew something was wrongA Heart-full of Emptiness in Free Verse More Like This
when I found emptiness
hidden in your eyes
in the early hours
of one Saturday morning.
I tried to work out when you stashed it there.
I knew it must have been since I met you;
so much emptiness
could never have made me feel complete.
So I ran through the options in my head:
maybe it was sadism,
as you obviously liked to watch me suffer.
perhaps it was insecurity
and you just liked to feel that you had something under your control.
or was it kleptomania?
because you took everything from me.
DW - 4.The Greatest Magic - Pt4The Doctor and River returned to Orna and there was a clatter as gravity replaced magic, as the Doctor had come to expect after watching the same thing happen in every family encampment within about a ten mile radius of the capital. He was shattered.DW - 4.The Greatest Magic - Pt4 in Fan Fiction More Like This
Together, the pair of them walked towards the temple to find Quen. They pushed open the great doors and looked down the aisle towards the alter. The temple was deserted.
"Quen?" The Doctor called, "Quen!"
There was no reply.
"High Priest Tosar!" called River sternly. The little Tasian scuttled into view. His face remained impassive as he approached them.
"Where is Quen?" River demanded.

"Because I can't use magic, no one else is allowed to in my presence"
The Tasians took the weight of their wheelbarrows manually and laboured their way through the streets. The speed of life seemed to half. River turned to them.
"This is Orna, the only city on Ro'Tas. All the other Tasians live in small villages or in family groups out in the forest foraging. Everything they find comes back here for trading. Why did you come here, anyway?"

for another night with you
I long for sleep

You're so far away

Keep Hope Alivewhat's happened to the worldKeep Hope Alive in Concrete Poetry More Like This
when everyone's afraid
life's full of anger
pain, hate and rage
what's happened when you can't
take a strangers hand
we can't stop sinking
through a floor of quicksand
the people who fight,
the people who care,
soon disappear
like they never were there
when you greet everyone
as if they'll cause you harm
it's like cutting off your hand
just to spite your arm
when you can't see good
and expect only bad
the world loses hope
and life becomes sad
all it takes is a dream
all it takes is belief
and our dying world
will finally feel relief

AngelsDon't close your eyesAngels in Concrete Poetry More Like This
you can't even blink
no time to run
no time to stop and think
They'll catch you when you're sleeping
or when you look away
there's nothing you can do
nothing you can say
You can't hide beneath your bed
or underneath a chair
there's nowhere they can't reach
they'll find you anywhere
All that you can do
is look the nightmare in the eye
or you wont be alive much longer
nearly time to say your last goodbye
Are your eyes starting to water ?
don't let those lashes touch
because when they do
no-one can help you very much
Then they'll have you in their clutches
and all you can do is scream
too late for some

Let's pray for JapanThey say the eyes are the window to the soulLet's pray for Japan in Urban & Spoken Word More Like This
So when you look into their eyes
They can never lie
The worst thing ever to see
In a person's eyes
Is the lack of that small glitter of light
That is a person's hope, the love for life
That is the scariest thing
The thing we need to stop
We need to give those people hope
So let's pray for japan
To give those people who experienced the tragedy
The strength to live on.
Darker TimesMy scars are small remindersDarker Times in Urban & Spoken Word More Like This
Of the person I used to be
I do not hate them
Or love them
I do not regret them
Or cherish them
They are just reminders
Of when I went through
Darker days
When the sun
Never shone upon me
And I was broken
But now I am fixed
Though the scars still remain
To remind me
To never take anything for granted
I do not hate them
Because they are as much as a part of me
As my heart or lungs
I do not love them
As they were made when I only
Felt like ceasing to exist
I do not regret them
As they show I survived
And grew stronger
I do not cherish them
As every time I look at them
They bring me sham

Anything that I can use
To give them what they deserve
To take from them what they don't
Constantly fighting
My biggest enemy
Trying to hold back the rage
That burns within
I've found my biggest threat
A threat to my sanity
My humanity
And that is my-self

When you think of it what do you think about?
Phisical strength of someone who throws their weight around?
True strength is someone
Who stays strong
When they have every reason
To brake down
Strength is the abillity
The ability to say no
And go against the norm
Some people have told me
That I am one of the strongest
People they have ever known
This year we have gone through
More than any one else has to go through in their lives
The choices we have made has taken us against the world
It's as if everything on this planet is against us
But we have come so far, for so long
So if we stay strong

When summer is over
And the icy hand of winter grips the world
I'll remember you
