I Know

I know that its okay to be angry, but never cruel.
I know that friendship sometimes requires forgiveness.
I know that love does not always go both ways.
I know true love knows no time or distance.
I know that my best isnt always as good as others.
I know that sometimes forgiveness has to start with yourself.
I know that writing can soothe the soul and ease pain, if only my own.
I know that charm only gets you so far.
I know some people just dont care, no matter how much you do.
I know that wisdom takes time, effort, and patience.
I know theres a time to speak, and a time to listen.
I know that humanity is fragile, yet resilient.
I know the world does not stop for a broken heart, or troubled mind.
I know no matter how many times I fall, there is a chance to rise.
I know that what has to be done, is not always what you want to do.
I know its not what you have, but who.
I know without you, there is no me.
I know moving on relies heavily on the first step.
I know peoples true emotions are not always shown.
I know peoples true thoughts are not always spoke.
I know what is best, and what is right are not always the same thing.
I know the more you learn, the less you know.

I know I dont know much,
but I know that I know enough.


I know what I know, only because of what Ive done.

Beautiful Bullet

You are but one
in a chamber of six
how deadly youve become
the cylinder spins, hammer clicks
leery in whoever wins
I know that its a gamble
but Im prepared to take the risk
it may leave me in shambles
but anythings better than this
I pull the trigger
await your spark
youll run me through I figure
but yet you never hit your mark
I am not suicidal
just alive and in the dark
awaiting your revival
to find where this love once embarked

Empty Promises

All your empty promises

become my shattered hopes

Filled with hollow permises

leads to a heart thats broke

Down at your feet I lay my faith

and you tread upon my dreams

How long must I lay in wait

and act so foolishly.

All Seeing Eye

The all seeing eye is watching
big brother is knocking
punch out the clock
and unplug the idiot box
system shock
piercing though your eye sockets
controlled by the currency
our social disease
humanity brought down to its knees
a war for the pocketbooks
amidst the power whores and the crooks
cooking the books
as more of our freedoms are took
as the majority simply overlooks
what is happening
as were staggering
prosperity is dwindling drastically
bowing to the majesty behind the scenes
make you believe
you can do as you please
as their censoring
what our lives really should be
paper or plastic?
you cant have it
giving taxes
to pay for their flag ships
propagated scholastics
pompous and bombastic
do as they say and act enthusiastic
while the cemeteries fill
and libraries empty
only believe
in what they give you to read
being rfid'ed
and poisoning the air that we breath
paying fees
for this imprisoning
you must fight to be free
or theyll surely succeed
assimilation into this brainwashed culturing

The Gambler

I didnt love you for who you are
I loved you
because of who I was
when you were here.
so I guess I am the fool
no matter which way
you led me to believe you felt.
because I only played
the cards I was dealt.
As I crawl away
like a broken gambler
with memories
of his high rolling days
with you.

Lock and Key

Under lock
without the key
who ever holds it
rescue me
set me free
release my soul
polish this heart
back to gold
liberate this spirit lost
buried under silt and moss
will I ever come across
a serenity I wont exhaust
loosen this latch
of festering fastening
hurl the hatch
adhered to abandoning
turn the tumbler
break the bond
this forlorn fixture
I can not abscond

Until My Ship Comes In

Ive had true loves in my life
from time to time
but not many
even if they were merely temporary commodities
I guess the best things in this world
are never really meant to last anyway
it is better to of had them
and experience them
than not at all
as I sit upon the dock
and await the next ship to sail in
maybe those past instances
will give me the wisdom
to not sink the next one
even if
some of those vessels of old
remain
picture perfect in my mind
wondering if they will ever return to port
even if
I always managed
to swim back to shore without drowning
some of those waters
have changed me more
than Id like to admit
for these arks
are what carry us through the stormy waters
of our existence

Diamond in the Rough

.
..
you
can look
and judge me
for every imperfection
like a lump of unrefined coal
but I know what exists
inside of myself
shimmers
brighter
than
you
