The Words You Said One Time

The words that you once said I have disposed of
But they haven't left their place in my mind
I don't have to think idly for long
Before they are all I know
The words you said one time
Hurt as you were
The words you said one time
Hurting me now
All my hope drained
Clinging to
I don't even know what

These are the days I have longed for

These are the days I have longed for
The time that I sought to be
This is the place I so desired
The home where I felt free
This is all I really wanted
A state where I was happy
but
These aren't the days I imagined
They are a whole lot more crappy

The carpet I stood on

The carpet I stood on
Was a very fine rug
Soft and fuzzy
But just a little tug
Has pulled me back
And I'm falling down
It won't be long
'Til I hit the ground
Crashing so hard
Hurting throughout
An immense pain
There's no doubt
And I don't know how
And I don't know when
But I can't wait
'Til I'm better again

I was once excited

I was once excited when I thought about returning
I dreamed of relieving the days I had before
When it comes down to living in reality though
One must realize that the past is gone
The future will come and it will come quickly
I will go along for the ride
I always shall have my memories of what has been
But I will take for granted their reprise no more
I will be in the same place I have known
On a different day a brand new dawn
And so I've now come to accept something
It may not be the same people standing by my side

A Shallow Judgment

To you I am just a nerd
Head built for books
"Chester Arthur" my keyword
But I'll have you know I'm more than that
To you I am just this beard
A silly little thing
A person really quite weird
But I'll have you know I'm more than that
To you I am just sarcastic
A vitriolic beast
With cruelty levels most drastic
But I'll have you know I'm more than that
Take all that someone has
And the person is the sum
Don't assume they're great
Don't assume they're scum
Judge only for who they are
And for who they could become

Here I Stand

The ground is not strong
And the world shakes
But here I stand
The rain comes pouring
And thunder roars
But here I stand
The wind whips by
And trees bow
But here I stand
My friends slip away
And I am alone
Only then will I fall

Excitement for the Time to Come

Only a week
Then I'll be back
Just seven days
'Til I'm on that track
160 hours about
When I shall be gay
For the time has come
