i want to, i am
i want to talk with no voice
i want to kiss with no lips
i want to cry with no eyes
i want to make love with no body
i want to be without me
i am speaking, i am knowing
i am kissing, i am giving
i am crying, i am releasing
i am loving, i am living
i am that i am
leave me to myself
dirty, down, depressed
is this what will become of me
how long will i live this so called life
lonely, cold, and negative
is this how i go
when will i ever begin to learn
even the internet starts to mirror my inadequacies
"do you need a girlfriend"
"are you in debt"
"win free beer"
"you're the lucky winner"
angry, hurt, and burnt out
just leave me to my myself
love me only one night more
i'm tired, stressed, sick, and emotional
i'm so angry it's undeniable
the situation's desperate
and so am i
why can't you see
i need you all the more
i implore you dear
listen to me, hear you, me
i'm dwindling
i'm not always so strong as i seem to be
in fact i'd say that especially today
i'm the opposite of that
i'm a bomb, but i'm flat
i'm a dud and soon i'll be done
if you don't reach out
and love me some
i'm just about a ghost
hurry please, i'm almost close
to giving in
i'm growing thin
won't you love me just tonight
before this fright of a former man fades away
i'm needy now and yes i know
though i can't be any other way then me
honey...
i know you have your own to handle
but wont you maybe look to me
before i stop to care to see
it's selfish, yes i know
but is it so much to want to know
the warmth you almost always give
it's too much now to live with out
your love's infected
and i've got gout
but don't cut me off so quick
it's killing me to softly
but i don't want out just yet
wont you love me just one night more?

inaguration poem
a common strength which once was dormant
arises after a bitter winter's hibernation
still with sleep in it's eyes
with legs unsure
does it step forward into the light of day
i salute your perseverance
i stand in awe of your assurance
i seek the spring from which you are fed
so i too may be awoken
the time has come for change
and yet it calls for more of what once was
we have lost touch with who we once were
we have forgotten the hardships we've endured
we have lost the confidence of our convictions
and the purity of our pursuits
but no longer!
our souls are now stirred
hope has once again arisen in the hearts of men
and the darkness which was once tolerated
will no longer be allowed to suffer it's shadow over the spirit of our people
i believe
for even if our leaders should fail us
what has been provoked in me shall never falter
this fire set within me, within us
has hit a dry kindling of vast proportions
the tipping mark is struck
and the world awaits this change
