Love

This feeling you just know,
Deep down inside of you,
As soft as new fallen snow,
And as pure as it too,
This world is filled with this feeling,
All in all it is felt,
This emotion of pure healing,
Asking to marry as they knelt,
The affection of flowers,
The Rose, soft and sweet,
Its color red overpowers,
And makes a date complete,
Love can bring happiness, Love can bring tears,
If nurtured wisely, it can last for years.

Fading, Fading, Gone

Remember when you said how i felt you were my best friend it ment a lot to you?
well it doesnt seem like that anymore because youve ditched me,
youve left me here to rot while you waste all your time with a person who doesnt respect your friends
I feel like taking out the light and start screaming!!

just another excuse to break something I'm not going to get over this that easily
it seems i have let other things go, but this time you really hurt me
Its your fault im writing all these poems in the dark
id use a light but remember i took it out
in frustration and the inability to control my emotions and feelings

incase you havent noticed ive been going through a hard time with everything lately
so this is what you do to help me
your just making it worst, i dont know what to do anymore
even though you might not notice it, im here to tell you and your just ignoring me
its starting to seem like you were just a pawn, a friend who wasnt really there
you made me believe you were real but then you started fading and pretty soon youll be gone

The Kitty in the Window

Everyday
You walk by
There's a kitty in the window,

You ask your mommy
Why can't I have her?
She tells her reasons
You do not agree
But can do nothing
Just watch her through the window,

You see as people pick her up
Pet her fur and hear her pur
You wish the kitty could be yours
But remember your mommy's disapproval,

You beg and beg
Plead and pray
And your mommy finally gives in,
You go to see,
The kitty you love
But she' s no longer in the window,

Where'd she go?
Who took her?
She was mine!
No one else's
And now I've lost her,
My kitty in the window

The Garden

In the garden
The children play
Everyone is happy
All is ok
Over the horizon
Clouds are seen
They are ignored
In the garden
The children play
Suddenly thunder is heard
The children stop
The clouds are overhead
All is silent
The rain starts
The children are afraid
The lightning strikes!
The Thunder roars!
They all flee
To their homes they run
The garden is trampled
The flowers destroyed
The rain stops
The clouds disappear
All that remains
Is the vile weeds
They engolf the garden
Everything is spoiled
The children are sad
They can no longer play
But all is ok

Immortality

I live forever
I am immortal
I see the world
From objective eyes
I've seen it all and done it all
But some things never change

For the wars of the world
Have never ended
Death and destruction
Is the way of life
It's no more different
Than the animal kingdom
Only we are more intelligent

Or are we?
I ask this question
Because I do not know
Of all the time
I've roamed this earth
I haven't seen much proof of it
For the humans think they are superior
When all they do is fight and bicker
They have no peace
Nor piece of mind,
But they still try
And will die trying

For I foresee
The end of the world
Not the place in which we live
But in the place that we think
For the mind of humans
Is slowly changing
For the better
For the worse
I really do not know
But I do know one thing is for sure
I'll be last to go

-© 2001 Mike Lee
I am Not You

Are you afraid of us?
Because you don't understand?
We are different
We choose to be different
Can you make decisions
Or are you brain washed by the world
I have issues
So you amplify them by making fun
You have issues
I identify because I know how it feels
I do not judge you
You only shun me
I have feelings too
I have more than you
Take your false pity
Get out of my face
I wish not be part of these
Ridiculous stereotypes
Don't ask question
Because I care not to answer them
Just run away
With your tail between your legs
And come back when I care
Good night
Good day
Go away

Facing Fear

I start to walk
I hear a noise
I Stop
Silence
I Start again
I see a shadow
I turn around
Nothing is there
I continue
I suddenly turn around
I see him
Fear
He stalks me
I look into his eyes and laugh
He looks into my eyes and laughs
I am confused
He turns around
I disappear
Fear has won again

I Won't Let Go

I hold you in my arms - You look up and try to speak,
"Save your energy
You'll need it later
Because I will not let you go
Not now, not ever!
What will I do without you?
I need you!
YOU CAN'T DIE!
Please?
For me?
NO!
Open your eyes!
I will not LET you Die HERE!
NOT LIKE THIS!
Please,
I'm so sorry
I could have done something,
It's my fault...
Please...
Come back?
I still need you..."

Overrated


I read the stories
Of love struck teens
Who have lost their "soulmate"
To someone mean
Their supposedly sad
But I can't help but laugh
These children I see
Just fall in love
They think it's real
It's sad, it's true

They play this game
Like they're on TV
They say the words
They think are true
Not knowing their meanings
Not knowing the feelings
Then take it back
And smash a heart
These people are foolish
Do they live in a shoe?
Didn't you know
That love must be true

I myself
Will not say it
Unless of course
I really mean it
Which is rare
For I know the feeling
I know the meaning
And I can't love you

But there are exceptions
To my rule
If you find them
Lucky you
I'll only say it
When it's more than true
You must mean everything
Not just anything
And once I say it
I'll never stop
Because the truth is
That I love you

Everything's Perfect Again

Everything's Perfect
I know what to do
This has happened before
I think I'll except it
Things are going great
I'm happy, that's for sure
I'm no longer scared
I have been found
Stress is gone
I have my friends
I always will

I've got all the time in the world
I've used it and abused it wisely
I've found myself
My goals are nearly met
My life has settled down
YES!
This is what I wanted
Nothing need go wrong
It might be fun
I could certainly deal with it
But not right now
I shall stay in bliss
It's such a fun place
And I think I'll hold my smile
Because Everything's Perfect Again

-© 2001 Mike Lee
Spastic
Sudden aggrivation
A spurt of stress
Loss of self-control
Emotions confused
Mind is abused
Logic is gone
Everything's wrong
You swear loudly
You flale wildly
Hurting yourself
Hurting others
But when you're done
You feel much better
Not sure what happened
But it was fun
Becase you
Just spazzed

The Issues of the World have Come to an End


The stress, subsided
The anger, non-existent
The exhaustion, all but disappeared
The searching has ended

No longer does the mind wonder
The problems have been dwelled upon
They have been forgotten
No longer is the past important
The future is all I see
And yes, is it bright indeed
The mind has reaches it's peak
Mental Clarity, no more, no less
I've found myself, for now I speak
It's been too long, I was a mess
But oh no, not now
Nothing can hurt me
I'm invincible!
And nothing will change that you see!
But enough about mine
Let's work on yours
Of course your mind
It needs help too
Not that much, but some
And that's how the Issues of the world came to an end

Destiny

Fate,
HA!
I disbelieve
I like to think
That I rule my life
I like to think
I make decisions
That affect the world

But there are some people
That have you believe
That no matter what
It's all be the same
But I say
PUNAMI TO THEM!
Because they're crazy indeed
I do not
Have a predestiny
I will be different
Than all that I see

Lightning


You sit waiting
Anxiously
You're filled with anticipation
BOOM!
The lightning strikes
A beautiful streak across the sky
You are excited
Your imagination running wild
The intricate design
The possibilities
Did it touch the ground?
Was anyone hurt?
Certainly you hope not
You wonder if their were others
That saw the same streak as you
What did it look like to them
Was it as spectacular in their eyes?
You stop thinking
You wait silently for another
Anxiously
You are filled with anticipation

Self-Control

As I lie here listening
To the yells and screams
I can't help wondering
Why it's happening to me
My life isn't perfect
But better then most
But there's just one big problem
That bothers me so
Why can't she have
Some Self-Control

It would help every person
Especially me
I wouldn't have issues
Like agression you see
So what should I do?
Hell if I know
Just shut the door
And hold on to that
Great Self-Control

Lost & Found

As soon as I thought
That I had lost you forever
I picked up the phone
And heard a voice that I treasure
Happy and silly
Soft and sweet
Something I've needed
For so many weeks
And even though
Some things have changed
I finally have
That energy flow
And when our talk
Was nearing it's end
You said "I love you"
And we started again

-©Mike Lee 2001


Everything's Perfect

Everything's Perfect
What do I do?
This has never happened before
Should I hide, run, or except it?
Things are going fine
Why aren't I happy?
Or am I?
Is this a new form of happiness?
Or am I sad, Mad or Depressed?
I'm scared, and lost
But I have nothing to fear
What should I do?
I have no stress
It's gone for now
I have all my friends
They're always here

I've got my freetime
I'm using it now
I've found myself
Because I'm right over here
Maybe I'm afraid
That everything's ok
I'm not used to it
My life is complete
NO!
I don't want it to be!
Someone mess me up!
Now I must go
To play in the streets
Something will go wrong
Then Nothing is Perfect

Missing Pieces

I thought we were friends
The ones that last forever
But I was busy
And now it's over

I tried as best as possible
To be there when I was needed
I almost thought it improbable
That you could let me go,
It killed me,
But I dare not show the pain I feel
Because then you'd know
That I really loved you
And the last time you said those words
You didn't mean them at all
And when I asked if you missed me
And the answer I heard was "no"
I almost cried, but held it in
And said I had to go

A week ago today, that was
And I've had this feeling ever since
That something is missing from my soul
But it's fading, to a wince

-©Mike Lee 2001


Playing in the Streets

As I was riding home
I saw such a mess
There were cars all around
And a man in distress
He was going somewhere fast
On a bike just like mine
When all of a sudden
He was hit from the side

The driver of the car
Was scared and confused
"Where did he come from?
I hope he's not dead"
The man was not breathing
And his bike was in pieces
"What do I do?"
The driver asked in despair
He thought for a while
Then got in his car
And as he drove off
I got a bit closer
Only to see
That the man was me

The Tired Young Man

Sleep
My one true escape
A rare commodity
I'm just so tired
It's all the time
What to do
When you want to sleep
Just lay in bed
And count some sheep
Until you start to dream

But what would you do
If I never woke up
How long would you wait
Would you ever give up?
If I like my dreams
And refuse to leave
Would you rape the willing?
Or leave me to die

But don't you worry
I always wake
For I set my alarm
OH SHIT I'M LATE!

- ©Mike Lee 2000

As I walk by, look & laugh
laugh at my blue hair
laugh at my black clothes
turn around twice
when U C thad I'm not wearing the tight clothes
when U C me holding a dead rose
But I don't care, what U think
No,I won't wear pink
I won't wear dresses
In class ignore me
But then point and chatter B 4 me
The only time U talk 2 me, is 4 homework
Or when U wanna look cool and and like a jerk
Cuz standing out is my obsession
I'm yor target, so let it out
Cuz I can handle it, thads what I'm all about
Juz cuz I don't paint my nails the color of the sun
B cuz I paint my nails, the color of mascara about 2 run
Doesn't mean I don't have emotions
Doesn't mean thad I can't swim in the ocean
I don't talk in the fone while reading a magazine
N stead I work at a gas station, pumping out gasoline
I hold a skateboard at my side
B cuz of peoples words, I think of suicide
I don't carrie a purse
And dolls R much worse
I'm here, and I'm different, so deal w/ it!
B cuz I don't care what U think

I Dislike This Day

I dislike this day
I really do
It's a pain in the ass
And my mom is a shrew
She causes problems,
More than needed
It's supposed to be great
Not this heated,
She nags and bitches
Moans and complains
Sometimes I think,
That I might go insane
So here I sit
Writing it all down

Listen carefully
And hear what you see
All of this crap
is piling up on me
I've got girls to kiss
And autographs to sign
Too much to do
Where the hell is MY time?
I'm sure I'll find it
One of these days
Just shut her up
And I'll be just great

Violent Tendencies

I'm going to hurt someone
I swear I will
But I'm never violent
As long as I take my pill
And oops, I forgot to today
So here I am, trying to chill
I'm calming down
Don't worry about me
Nothings broken
I swear I'm ok
As longs as I do not drown
In all of this insanity

**This Poem is in the poetry Anthology book "The Silence Within" ... to come out Spring 2001**

Don't Touch Me

Get Away!
I'm crowded
Overwhelmed
and tired all the same
Why don't you leave me be!
Just because you can't see
I like the way I am
and you can't change a thing
No matter how hard you try
It's your opinion against mine
Now stay away!
and get your hands off me
I said DON'T TOUCH ME!

People like you,
They just disgust me
Afraid of thing they do not know
Afraid of change
Afraid of me
Then you say I must be wrong?
and you say only you are right?
So where are we now
I sure don't know
So just leave me alone
And don't you DARE TOUCH ME!

Damn Farmer's Tan

Who's tan is this!
It can't be mine!
What do I do!
It doesn't look fine!
It looks quite scary
Glad it's not hairy
But none the less it's weird
What'll I get next?
So big huge beard?
How do I fix it?
What do I do!
It's dark over here
And Light over there!
It's funny
It's RED
And down right nappy!
Help mE!
Look a Tanning bed!
Too expensive!
NOOO!!!
T-shirts for me?
No Muscles to show :(
But soon I shall fix this :)
And be sexy once again!!

~*~ My Wish ~*~

everytime you say my name,
hold my hand, or touch me
i fall in love.
i can only wonder
if you know how i feel
about you.. about us..
and i wonder if you feel the same.
you say you do,
but i'm not sure.
i hope you do.
every night i wish
for you to ask me
to be your one,
your only, for all times.
will we ever be together,
like we were meant to be?
i don't know..
all i can do is wish..

Judgmental FOOL!

You all have problems
Only I am sane
Where's my tissue?
I'm not crying!
I'm laughing!
At all of you!
No one understands me
Only the Shadow knows
And he isn't talkin
Besides, it's only green
Not much less natural than yours
You Bleached bitch!
Well maybe a little less
But that's no reson
To be a Judgmental FOOL!
It's all your fault!
I was never like you!
This is what I am
And you're just jealous
Because I'm not afraid
To be different then all but few
Maybe you do understand...
NO!...you never will!
You don't have the guts
To do what it takes
To get where I am
So F*C* OFF!
You LITTLE
Judgmental FOOL!

Sitting

I'm still happy you know,
I sit down, and think of you,
I'm still there
it's still last year
and I'm everywhere we used to be together
I'm happy and I'm loving every bit of it
Only I'm alone
There's no one there
You're not there
It's just me now
There I am sitting alone over there
with a smile on my face
No one's there so I can smile
And you're still not there
Yet with my mind, I bring you back there
I relive all the happy times
but who am I kidding?
You aren't really there, you're a figment of my imagination
And I'm still alone, still sitting, still watching
I'm watching all my happiness float into the clouds like a balloon
It floats higher and higher until I can barely see it
as it floats up into the sky
Until it's a tiny dot
then it becomes nothing
I'm still sitting there in the bleachers, sitting alone
Still watching the evening sky
But there aren't any stars out tonight.
And there won't be for a long, long time
The fall wind cuts at my face,
I can smell burning leaves,
I'm still watching the sky when the lights go out
Everything becomes dark
I wonder when I'll get out of the darkness
But now, months later, I'm still stumbling around in
that memory, trying to find my way out
But I can't. And I won't. And I'm still here.

Please Help

Why me?
No one will ever leave me
No one will ever get close to me
I am insignificant
I think I should just end this all
Just walk down that hall
Go to the knife
and Start, to cut...

Or should I?
Is there a reason not to
Is there a reason I ought to
Is there a reason for anything at all
What should I do
Please help me

On one hand could I do it?
I mean does anyone care for me
Does anyone think of me
Will anyone notice
When I am not here
Will anyone cry
When I am not there
Will anyone even remember
That I was once a proud member
Of the human race

Or could I, should I stop now?
I have my friends
The few that I have but enough
We would never be able to do stuff
Like go to the movies
Go to the mall
or just hang out and act tough
I have a girlfriend that loves me
and I love her dearly
Could I do that to her
Could I do it to anyone
I have my whole life ahead of me
I was planning on joining the Army
It could make a real difference either way I go
Or would it
Please help me

I have weighed my alternatives
There are many more goods and bad
I believe I will return to my room
and will stop holding my insecurities in my hand
Because I know I am stronger than this
I had never thought of it before
Dare I say the word
I prefer not to
Maybe for you
Maybe for me
Maybe for everyone else around me
Hmm, I just stared death in the face
How scary, to say the least
I believe I will never do that again
It is not worth it to try
Nor is it worth it to die

Friends
Friends are the people that
Greet you with a hug
Or a special hand-shake
They are the ones that say bye
With a funny wave
Or an ever bigger hug than before

Friends are the people that
Laugh with you when having fun
And laugh at you when making fun
But of course, you don't mind
Because, you're friends

Friends are the people that
Share life's stories
Or food when you're hungry
And money if you're lucky
As long as you pay them back

Friends are the people that
Are there when you cry
And join in without knowing why
Then help you through it
And wipe the tears and fears
Away

And best of all
Friends are the ones, that
Through all of life's troubles
And little or big obstacles
Never forget you
And you never forget, because
They will always be your
Best Friend

Mike Lee ©2000 Sunset and paradise

were all so fake
make-up and hair dye bodies in bloom
tell you your pretty
and you know its true
Skin deep and were all fake
give what you take, and
love what you make
were all pretty here
you know what to fear
close your eyes and wish you were somewhere else
So intresting to say you hate me
then hold me
but were all human
don't look at me like im crazy
im far more stable than you
life on sunset and paradise
just might be killing me
something in me has been lost on you
the sparkle in my eyes refuses to fade
im sorry to so cruel
but its been a very bad day
i can't really help it.
sometimes i just get this way
my conviction fed your addiction
don't grow up
be scared, stay pure
lie your ass off
we'll spend time on each other
pretty words, white lies
sunset and paradise
off white walld with blue borders
dead grass, bleach blonde white trash
beating her kid in the playground
snik deep and were all fake
give what you take, and
love what you make
me and you always knew
but who to tell?
Drugs, Natzis, loud sex, red necks, and theres no excape
Break me, make me, take in run aways
drug addict babies, animals with rabies
its all getting too much
run to a place with a different name
things are repeating its all the same
theres just NO WAY OUT!!!

Beauty

As I walk through my garden
I see a butterfly
I now have forgotten
Why I cry
I watch as it gently lands
So softly as its wings flutter
I reach out my hand
As to touch the flower
I now realize
A butterflies beauty
It has opened my eyes
To have noticed something this pretty
I know now
There is beauty all around me
It may not always show
It took a butterfly for me to see

My Heart... To William
He's a unique young man with incredible abilities
He is a boy who can control himself as well as his own facilities
He has so much skill, so much talent and creativity
He is a boy with a lovely heart that once belonged to me
I stop and take the time, to look back and remember
Thinking of the wonderful times me and him spent together
Even though now we're just friends, we still carry on
Holding deep inside our hearts the memories that are now old and torn
It bothers me alot, that we can't have a closer relationship
The kind to let others know that we're together, when he kisses me on my lips
Now I stop to think, has he forgotten about me?
When he looks into his new girlfriend's eyes, what does he see?
Does he think about me, when he's around her?
Does she hold more authority than we did, when we were together?
Did she do everything in her will and her power,
To make you become her one and only most fantastic lover?
The thing that hurts me the most, is that I broke my own lonesome and empty heart
But I had to do, what I had to do, cuz something about our relationship wasn't right from the start
Don't get me wrong, do not get confused, with what I am trying to say
Our love was something so remarkable, and it sprouted like a beautiful rose, each and every day
I just wish deep in my heart before I broke up with you- I would have stopped and taken the time to see...
That your love is like no other and that you mean the world to me.
How could I have let you go so easily, why didn't I take the time to stop and think?!
As I look in the mirror and watch the tears fall from my eyes, I realize that I let my heart fall inside my soul and sink.
It hurts me like hell, to witness you kissing and having your arms around another girl
When I thought I was the only one, who would mean so much to you in this world
So as I listen to the sad love songs, as I cry my broken soul to sleep
I will always think of you daily, no matter how much it makes me weep
For William, you were my first and only one true love
The only one who went through my mind all the time, the only one I always thought of.

 

Once upon a time on a Tuesday afternoon,
There was a punk hoping he could use his fists in a fight.
Now please understand this punk was really cool
Cause he had a rather elaborate blue tattoo. 

He was really bad,
he was really cool
chillen like a villain
on a Tuesday afternoon

He spotted a car parked on the street,
He had a sole intention, His eyes were like fire
He knew what to do, ‘cause he was swift on his feet
So he did the right thing, and let the air out the tires 

He stood there and grinned
It was really neat
He stood there and looked
At the car on the street

Then along came the driver of the airless car
He was sort of a rather old guy I hope you do see
When, alas, down real far,
He saw the homie G 

The driver was mad,
His eyebrows all flared,
He looked at the punk,
But he was not scared

 The driver asked the punk why his tires are flat
The punk just shrugged and took a look at the sky
The driver stood his ground, he wasn’t about to skat
The punk was so cool and he was real fly

The punk didn’t know it,
But he was bound to be trippen
‘Cause the driver of the car
Was a mathematician

The driver told the punk he was acting like a fool
you are a low-life pot-head
You’re not so cool
So by about this time the punk’s face was all red

 

 

 The punk was thinking:
This guy’s not so bad
I’ll take him out
With one swipe of my hand

The punk took a swing at the mathematician’s face
But with much much ease, the mathematician caught that fist
He said, “I’m a mathematician I’ll show you no grace”
I got your game, give it up.. and I’ll let go of your wrist

The Mathematician was calm
He was cool as could be
He thought: I’ll teach
this guy some 123’s 

Said the Mathematician:
don’t be a turtle, life is a race
You can’t count to three
So, You better shut your face

The punk retorted, “I sure can, you ugly old freak”
The Mathematician answered back, “Kid, you probably don’t
          
now how”
Said the punk with the blue tattoo, 1,2,3
Look who’s talking now

 The mathematician said:
“I’m sorry, that’s wrong”
In reply, the punk said
“Your mom!”

Then it was stated:
If you want to truly be cool
Shut up kid, school is not overrated
Here is my advice: stay in school.

Avoid the dope
Please refrain from the crack
It shall trouble your life
It leaves you no slack. 

With these few words they both duly departed
The punk found a job, as well as a wife.
And the mathematician, well,
he just continued his same old life.

-Mark Russell
