Powerful Secrets

The things I don't say are the source of my power
The secrets I hold are the key
All those tidbits that you have already known are true
But there is still a bit more to me
Soon I will give up all of my powerful secrets
Becoming fragile and frail
I must because power is a hard thing to carry
Holding it forever would fail

I have not been a perfect gentleman
And I have surely made mistakes
I have been through a hard time
And I have not acted as myself

But what I have been is unimportant
The key is who I shall be
All I want of myself now
Is to truly be me
Having set my sights on this goal
I know what I must say
I must say what I truly mean
That I am very much okay

Pokemon Gold

I remember playing Pokemon Gold as a kid
Grand times were had
I caught lots of Pokemon
Beat the Elite Four
Stormed through Kanto
I have so many lovely memories
But eventually the battery died
And all I had was lost
It took me a while
But eventually I put in a new battery
For when you lose all you had
All you can do is start again
The Pokemon I had will never return
And the ones I have now will not stay forever
But I will always reboot and start again
Memories I will hold dearly to my heart
Even if sometimes you're forced to restart

I Never Thought I'd See a Day

When it is better to not see your face
When it is better to not think of you
When you would make me sad
When you would make me hurt
When I would fear a simple walk
When I would fear at dinner
When leaving a room would be so hard
When leaving would be so easy

A Dreaded Day

I remember what I thought today would be like
But I sit here knowing I was wrong
I'm a little bit afraid to walk outside and face the sunlight
All I know is today will be far too long
I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do with myself
But I pick myself up and carry on
I know it doesn't matter how hard today will be
For I only need to make it to tomorrow's dawn

Love does not make you perfect

Love does not make you perfect
You fall and flail about
You say stupid things
You go into fits of great self-doubt
You make a fool of yourself
You fail to earn your trust
You hurt your beloved
You give in to a fit of lust
Love does not make you perfect
And again I must say
Love does not make you perfect
But perfect love makes you try to be anyway

The Hole

There is a hole that I must fill
And so I've started my work
I use my own two hands
And throw in some dirt
Small progress is made
And I take a break
Until I return to find
A deeper hole than before
Meaning that I must
Work harder and even more
I see this hole is too big
And that I can not fill it
But I've still got to try
I'd rather fall into a small hole
Than be trapped in a giant one
