I talk about love more than hate.
It gets tough and I can’t carry the weight.
Anger takes over no patience to wait.
Acquaintance is common never my mate.
I forgot when I lost it, I’ll mark the date.
I don’t want to repeat the same mistakes.
Happiness becomes mistreated then breaks again.
Now, I have to start over before it escapes again.
Mental status almost restored won’t shake the end.
Reminisce the past feeling rewind the tapes again.
Drown in self love until it sinks in…
Happiness quench my thirst..I’ll keep on drinking..

Happiness is Love
Happiness can’t show Hate
🤔 Can it?

?
We talk, We chat, We laugh, and Then look back.
On situations that occur,
Is it real or just an imitation?
Is this something I should feel?
An unknown identification

The Assist
Aaron L Osgood Feb 2024
Don’t speak unless spoken to.
The weak is not broken too.
This week I woken you.
My heart is enclosed it remains open to view.
You didn’t choose me, I’m life’s chosen few.
With the ability to cope with you as we coexist.
I’m here to talk just in case you need the assist.

Rambling (Again)
Aaron L Osgood Feb 2024
I been so absent minded.
I neglect to find it.
The reason behind it.
Prospect declining during the current timing.
Blood pressure is rising as I continue writing.
Hyper active situation is only icing.
Words continue slicing the taste is inviting.
Urges only burn so I ignite the nervous.
Won’t describe the purpose of this nonsense it’s worthless.
Trying to reach the surface to expel my service.
Sunday churches, I’m hearting The Bible verses.
My mind contain the circus keep clowning around.
I still find life funny even when I’m feeling down.
I’m over here expressing feeling now
🤦🏾‍♂️

Sweet Talk
Aaron L Osgood Feb 2024
Beauty is in the eye, right?
The special moments I like.
When you heart, what I write.
Talking morning, noon, and night.
Almost 24/7 just answering questions
I need to get rest in.
I find our talks interesting.
Use google translate our messaging.
But, I can’t wait to officially speak to you.
Most of my life I looked to the stars.
Maybe, I was seeking you.

I can give you my time all I can spare

Watch you all day your the only one I care.

You can catch me looking at you, as I stare.

Wishing I wasn’t here, I rather be over there.

I can’t be so I’ll substitute me with flowers & a bear.

I need oxygen to live but I survive on your air.

We’re one of a kind to make a pair.

I wonder if that forbidden fruit was a pear.

Because the shape of your body..i wanna grab I swear.

I can’t even go on without you..I just wanted to share.

If you separate the cause & effect.
Between us Im going to pause & reject.
Respect my rules cause I’m the best.
Not like the others put your past to rest.
A renewal connection let the pastor bless.
Add the bible to make it finesse..like ice.
I’m a Christian so I roll with Christ.
My sweetness is sugar, girl you add the spice.
Cayenne in the cooker let the heat rise.
Girl, I’m still sweating you I had to peek twice.
Life is a gamble with you I’ll roll the dice.
You gave me a sample and still paid the price.
Let’s be serious so I can make you my wife!
Baby I’ll never exchange cause you changed my life.
Yes, at first it was strange never felt more alive.
You had me trippin’ I decided to take a dive.
Fell in love with you…without you I can’t survive.

-Truth!!

I scroll thru pics like I’m invading your life.
I adore the ones I pick either still or live.
I know I don’t say much but I’m still alive.
As roam these roads I still survive.
I know you don’t care but I still incline.
Sending messages in the air & you still decline.
Telling me nothing is wrong, just **** the lying.
Your attitude stay strong, yet you’re still denying.
I repeat the same song but change the rhythm.
No drama in my life, the range is given.
Distance is needed from the strangest women.
Those that been cheated on, abused, or beaten on.
Misused or treated wrong, confused..yet still proceeded on.
Therapy is needed don’t walk on by.
Shrug your shoulders & say “It’s Just Life!”

I’m sorry if you’ve been through that.
I hope those that hurt you karma comes back…

I’m sorry

Thanks for showing me beauty from your eye view.
Before I known not much as I walked right by you.
Now I’m very sight-full and growing to like you
As much as my sweetness excites you, I hope it invite you.
To the secret space in my heart where it’s delightful.
Until then……

Been A While
Aaron L Osgood May 2022
I know it’s been a while since I spoke a word.
I don’t speak much I only write spoken words.
I’m sweet by the touch and woken enough.
My image is speechless…in the mornings I open up.
Let me be the flower that blooms in the sun.
Beauty is not only an image but you’re the one.
You come first in my mind, never second to none.
I’m trying to travel further than where I came from.
I’m New Jersey born and raise.
My personality is warm and spreads across like sun rays.
I love all shades of beauty and I continue chase the rainbow for days.
Just looking for my *** of gold but I hope my journey never ends.
Because on the road continuously as every single day is where I spend.

I want to come home fast and “Sit With You!”
It doesn’t matter if we don’t have “Sh_t To Do!”
Who I love to end my day with? “It is You!”
Dine and spend time forever “With My Boo!”
I can’t think of no one better..”Just Us Two!”

I’m about to enter dark forget the light.

I can’t see you because I’m out of sight.

This is the main event enjoy the fight.

I’m no longer weak I’m full of might.

Benjamin flew a kite and he enjoyed the strike.

A jolt of lightning so electrifying like a motorbike.

Feeling of anger is not recognizing, I’m more polite.

Keeping to myself as I put pain in this poem as I write.

No more mornings left there’s only nights.

But I guess I shouldn’t let anyone steal my joy.

Right?

Love to learn about you and your views.
About life or the surrounding news.

I miss my friend.
If we can only talk for a quick second.
I’m trying to forget the past and live in the present.
Forget the bad I’m done learning my lesson.
I’m not going to ask, “Why was I treated wrong?”
I lived through the pain and now I’m living strong.
You’re the cause of my wrongs nothing felt right.
“Why do I still bleed?”, when I’m wearing white.
Why do I still need?”, this person in my life.
Questioning myself, the answers would help.
Deep in my thoughts the common passion I’ve always felt.
You won’t respond because you’re not here.
If you were I doubt you’d care.

More To Say...

Every time we talk you say, “I have you back”
Well, you shouldn’t of left me like that.
Broken down but yet I have to be man.
We both are human beings I guess you don’t understand.
You bleed red! Well so do I!
You left me dead! But I’m still alive!
Raised from the ground to reach the sky.
Like a seed in the ground, that tree grew high
If only you could see me now
You would be surprised
But only thing you see is memories
Just another disguise!
The truth behind your lies...

A Puzzled Mind
Aaron L Osgood Aug 2020
Puzzle pieces scattered as I opened the box.
I’ve seen the picture that revels the answer.
But still clueless on how to put them together.
I sent out a request and I was accepted.
But still trying to match the curves and edges.
The lines that defines the patterns.
The way in, Is not through the door.
Then again if the door is the mind.
Suddenly my mind races as being intrigued.
So many pieces scattered I may decline.
I may not be able to solve this mystery.

Zombies
Aaron L Osgood Jul 2020
Bless the dead and the dead that’s undead.
Some people rather be that way instead.
Walking around like zombies just useless bodies.
Acting like it’s a trend just clueless copies.
The end feels near or it already is.
Well until then continue your life.
You have more to live and plenty more to give.
Life isn’t easy I understand your logic.
I exit reality and enter my fantasy Marvel Comics.
Yes!, I’m a bit of geek and I strive on week by week.
I listen to music on repeat until I’m in sync.
I’m not talking the 90’s boy band.
More like Eric B. & Rakim, when the music leak.
You can hear them say “Don’t Sweat The Technique”.
Some may not understand me like I’m speaking Greek.
Like everything I write seem too weak.
It’s not up to their standard like a sleek physique.
Don’t judge me because I seem fatigue.
I’m on my own level if you follow the league.
Yup, the words was spoken as I continue to speak.
Let it remain in your head until it’s concrete.
My words all in your head and may it the streets.
Like Diddy, “Proceed to Give You What You Need”.
Forget me not and Yes, I’m a different breed.
DNA from a plantation where my ancestors flee.
I wish I can say they were freed.
The truth is people are ruthless and till this day.
Anger in my soul but in reality I seem okay.
Aggression gets old so I put it away.
I’m more cool, calm, and collective.
I sometimes bend the rules it’s beyond effective.
Don’t analyze me now no need for a detective.
As you read I invaded your life instead.
I’m now attached to you, Zombie life, The Infected.
I know this script wasn’t expected.
So I’ll continue to search for a different method.

I’m just so hungry...I must feed..

Too Deep in Life
Aaron L Osgood Jul 2020
Why do I feel like I’m drowning?
If I didn’t get into the pool yet.
There’s only a few moves I do regret.
Needing a lifesaver just to feel safer.
I’ll speak on any topic if you pick the flavor.
Luckily, writing is my form of therapy on paper.
Basically, it’s my only savior when times are major.
Why keep these thoughts in my head?
I rather speak on them now, rather than later.
You can’t express yourself let this be a favor.
Maybe me writing this you can relate to.
We both trying to find an exit to escape thru.
Trying to fight it these feeling is uninvited.
Maybe no one will notice if I try to hide it.
But which will suffer more them or I.
A question I always ask myself.
It’s usually between him or I.
If I free myself from this pain, Will I Rise?
Is the suffering too deep in vain, Will I Die?
But still I try to keep Hope and Will alive.
The moment will be gone and the sun will arrive.
So until this day is over I’ll say “I Will Survive!”
Just Keeping Hope Alive from Drowning...

I’m Still Alive
Aaron L Osgood Jul 2020
I’m still alive!
So, that means I didn’t die.
I’m back now in my suit and tie.
Being presentable is my profession.
Appearing here now I guess I have a confession.
My words is not just talk.
It’s my best means of an expression.
I will always laugh now and maybe cry later.
At the moment I’m molding my life.
I guess you can call me The Creator.
The Artistic Visionary, The Artistic Invader.
My art is always present I never miss.
I used to call myself Artamyst....
I appear to be the toughest.
My exterior is the roughest.
I take life all in until enough is enough is.
I know you see me talking.
Ignoring me as you keep on walking.
Just Great!
At times I may enter hibernation state.
I keep to myself.
Even when part of me wants to escape.
I stay on the clock from twelve to twelve.
I’m still alive no expiration.
So, that means I will remain on the shelf.
And if I do die, continue the separation.
From the body to the soul.
Life is just a play.
God gave me a role.
God gave me a goal.
I’m trying to reach it
But it will be a blessing if I turn old.
I’m talking black and white with some grey.
1) My black or brown skin, okay.
2) The white hairs may appear.
3) But I rather see grey.
I had to break it down.
I didn’t want you to question my logic.
I’m actually writing this.
As I’m listening to Logic.
I’m still alive and kicking is my topic.
I really need a vacation, probably the tropics.
Energizer bunny
I’ll keep going until I stop this......
Oh Yeah,,,I’m Alive...Stay Tune.
Maybe more coming soon.

Love Me or Not!
Aaron L Osgood Jul 2020
So, here we go again.
Take two!
Love Me or Not.
I’m not here to make you.
Whatever you choose it’s cool.
Because, I’m going to still be me.
I’m still going to live on.
I know it’s hard to believe.
Not dealing with you is a relief.
I’m going to be Stressless!
Express my feelings I won’t suppress this.
I’m free now no need to be obsessed with.
I’m about to let it all out.
Love Me or Not, is my confession.
Love Me or Not, is full of aggression.
Love Me or Not...
I guess I learned my lesson.
Take Three!
Wait!
You don’t have another chance with me.
You just missed out on romance with me.
Bags packed! no going to France with me.
Aime-moi ou pas (French)
You don’t have another chance with me.
I think we can both agree!
This is an indefinitely guarantee.
You’ll never **** with me!

My Will
Aaron L Osgood Apr 2020
I’m not dying but it feels like I am.
Left traveling the world alone for work, ****
I can’t go back to my life, my friends or family.
Although I am holding up well financially.
Still have a job due to resupply America.
Restocking food on supermarket shelves.
Not going home I feel emptiness in myself.
I was born and raised in New Jersey, it’s home.
The state it’s in My Family I worry, it’s home.
Until the disaster ends I have no choice but to continue to roam.
I feel it in my spirit, in my soul, so lonely and cold.
I continue to hold my head up praying for hope.
Still suffering continues around the globe.
So as I continue to write  My Will.
I just wanted express my moments on how I feel.
Shedding a tear as my feelings are revealed.
Trying to be strong but the pain still kills
Because I’m missing everyone still.

Signing off Aaron L. Osgood.

Randomness (Another Babble)
Aaron L Osgood Mar 2020
I believe I have more to say.
I’ve been quite for a while.
But not today, Time to play.
I’ve been going out my way.
Yes! I’m big a little over weight.
Traveling from state to state.
Enjoying delicacies, Yum their great!
Yo, getting off track let’s set it straight.
I have my truck now to transport freight.
Wait!, here I go again babbling towards the end.
Like you can relate we’re the best of friends.
Just because you read this,
You don’t need this!
This isn’t medicine you don’t need sh*t.
I’m just babbling again battling with in.
The monster is my adrenaline.
Hungry for Benjamin’s!
Yes! I’m craving it still, the craving is real.
We all have to eat, A snack or a meal.
Just a couple of thousands to a mill period.
A person can dream or wake up delirious!
This coronavirus is crazy it’s too serious!
We walk about it oblivious.
Put our life on the line mysteriously.
It affected others it won’t get to me.
I’m covered by the blood, Jesus Christ!
If I get infected he will save my life.
What if it’s your time to go?
No one knows when their debt is up.
You may feel alone but what if.
We’re not alone and death is next to us?

February 9th
Aaron L Osgood Feb 2020
I was born from my mother yet I’m still self made.
I’m the way that i am now, today till my grave.
I can change my ways but my path is already paved
Life seems to be simple no need to explain.
Whatever is left it’s left to be remained.
February 9th I was born, so it’s my birthday!
No party for me just another work day.
The Adult Life! Bills must be First paid.
Before happiness and gifts are exchanged.
Life is sometimes sudden or prearranged.
Life is just full of abundance or it’s plain.
Yet I’m still me inside this brain.
So, I give God all the glory as he reigns.
My story is not over after the 9th more remains.
If you didn’t know Aaron L. Osgood is my name.
And February 9th 1986 is when I came!
Although in my mother’s womb is where I became.

The Struggle
Aaron L Osgood Feb 2020
Sing me a song.
Let it be long.
Attach to my soul.
Let it belong.
Fill this empty hole.
Let it be strong.
Enough, so I can withstand.
To complete a puzzle.
Let it be whole again.

I once was weak like my muscles.
Life hit me hard until I struggled.
Couldn’t get back up so I stumbled.
I’m tired of trying! Hope things get better
I’m tired of crying! During this stormy weather.
Dehydrated or Drench?
I forget which one is which.
My mind is a stutter just watch as I glitch.
Tryig...To...Fiur......How...To...Get...R_.

^(Tr­ying To Figure Out How To Get Rich)^

I’m like a ghost in the wind.
I want you to hold me again.
I want you to know me again.
I’m just a lonely black man.
I mostly only slacked back then.
But yet I was zen.
I lived amongst others.
When life was simple back then
A good guy but almost a criminal back then.
Well that’s a lie, black or white stripes.
Call me adidas because I was original back then.
I drew pictures with a pencil.
But I’m much crazier with a pen.
I have a lot to say words I contemplate.
Don’t need to over think things as I concentrate.
Nothing is too complicated as I dominate it.
My mind is polluted just over populated
I tend to move and say I made it.
I guess I did it again.
I was labeled as a loser, so I pretended to win.
As I look at myself within rather than my skin.
If life is so short, where should I begin?
Can I skip over growing up?
Now I’m throwing up.
The Cap as I wear the Gown.
Life just started.
I’m clueless of what’s happening now.
Life went by with the quickness
Grown my richest, with invested interest.
Times got though yet I still handled my business.
Self made as I claim it, what should I name it?
The title of enrichment with a twist of impingement
Is that not same ****, please excuse my language.
It was called for and over dated.
I just want to say I made it..
Yes!, I made it, Yes!, I made it!
The time well spent was estimated.
Now...signing out, And you’re devastated.
Sorry!

Past Connection
Aaron L Osgood Feb 2020
We reached a connection just to reconnect.
Discussing past times as we collect just to recorrect.
Everything seems alright so I’ll mark it with a check.
Now we can close the door and throw away the key.
Never open up the past since you’re done talking with me.

Crazy or Not (Chatting)
Aaron L Osgood Feb 2020
Hello , Good Morning!
Another fun filled day...not boring.
Another day of chores like pick things up from the floor.
If you did it already, then do it again, like before.
Life sometimes repeats occurrences we cannot ignore.
Lesson learned for the test you yearn
Expressions earned before you reached a common concern.
I’m just here as a therapist to analyze and confirm.
Maybe you are insane or maybe I am on certain terms.
I could be crazy like a Joker’s impressionist then this meeting is adjourned.
Laugh Now....Cry Later
Crazy like connecting dots on graph paper
Crazy like talking to a wall as if it’s your neighbor.
The response back is silence but you’re hearing a lot.
Now you’re wondering if your going crazy or not..

A Gamble
Aaron L Osgood Feb 2020
I usually write a poem before the title.
Like a book full of stories before they named it “The Bible”.

Phase 1:
I wrote my name and didn’t consider it as a gamble.
One out of many as my identity scrambles.
It’s a possibility that we met just on different channels.
All game shows are the same just different panels

Phase 2:
Let’s meet and greet, then after enjoy my defeat.
I’ll laugh on the inside trying to keep it discreet.
Then again, I could be the loser.
I tend to always jinx my own future.
No smile on my face, I don’t see the humor.
Lost in the game and laughed by the viewers
No money in my pockets, just more for the producers.
Good Game I guess!

Phase 3:
Am I a living contestant gambling with my life?
Out to find a better version of me trying to survive.
Money spent with confidence and carrying my pride.
I play to win, aware of consequence, yet I’m still staying alive.

Living Contestant
Aaron L Osgood Feb 2020
Drowning in my pain full of sorrow.
Take a few pills there’s no tomorrow.
The hurt will go bye-bye.
I won’t reach the heavens no matter how high.
Suffering from dehydration due to my cries.
Vision is getting blurry through my eyes.
I worry no more as I sigh.
Tired days....always.
Like paint peeling on these hallways.
I want to be renewed and refresh.
I don’t want to intrude, excuse as I express
New life, Next lesson, Game show contestant.
Play to win over the percentage we lose.
The sacrifices we choose
Is life just a game?

Engaged
Aaron L Osgood Feb 2020
Let’s recognize the real from the fake.
Before we take the real for the fake and make a real mistake.
We live life the way we were taught through school but are we awake.
Sometimes we hope for a better reality, our dreams could be a reality we once lived.
For my past dreams has come true.
Felt like I lived that moment before I lean towards the term Deja Vu.
What if we are smarter than we actually pursue to believe?
The scientist of the land says we only us a small percentage of our brain, man made theory.
They also believe we all evolved; evolution through apes and we adapt.
We changed form as we transformed but they deformed our minds to contain us.
To think we’re nothing but animals because of some studied similarities.
Knowledge is power but we listen instead of read and understand.
Our brains can’t grow if we accept to be caged in on demand.
My evolution started in Africa, ancestor brought over to build this land, we own no parts of.
Like death, bodies in the dirt, those memories disintegrate piece by piece.
Until we’re just labeled as a person like the rest and we live life until we rest forever caged.

Love Lost
Aaron L Osgood Feb 2020
Cover my eyes so I go blind.
Because love is hard to find.
Maybe I’m not in the zone.
I need to switch my time.
I may be insufficient, not in my prime.
I’m trying to reach that primate status.
Let me go ape **** full of madness.
Life ain’t **** if nothing’s happens.
My drive is anxious I gotta have it.
I practice patience, I’m automatic.
I’m in a different bracket less dramatic.
You located love, well that’s fantastic!
I’m happy for you, let’s not dispute.
Love for me does not compute.
I got different views and reviews.
I wear the same size just have different shoes.
Just saying I’m the same person with different news.

Quench This Thirst
Aaron L Osgood Feb 2020
All my poems be about romance and stuff.
I never jumped over the edge took a chance on stuff.
But I may have peaked and glanced at stuff.
I may have needs like financing stuff.
I’m trying to gain profit on monopoly.
Not talking board game, not it obviously.
My reality is stuck on apologies.
Sorry, Forgiveness, Excuses, Yeah I abused it.
If the words are free then I won’t refuse to use it.
I’m not advertising but that symbol said, “Just Do It”
So I’m going to do it and try to get it done.
Pray for a brother my sister nun.
God is the father, I’m just his son.
Raised by the church but not from birth.
We’re all born of sin, God lift this curse.
We all want to win, Quench this thirst.

That Image
Aaron L Osgood Feb 2020
That image though.
Your beauty just shine bright.
I’ll call you my sunshine.
Seeing you in the morning is what I like.
Smiling from cheek to cheek.
Can’t believe you’re here with me.
Spending time from a week to weeks.
I can’t wait until you’re awake.
For the moment I’ll let you sleep.
It feels like home to hear you speak.
Very welcoming and unique.
That certain tone I cannot repeat.
A loop in my brain until it gets weak.
Please don’t fade away, I love you day by days.
Forever is my Always, Always is my Forever.
No matter the storm as long as we’re together.
I Love You!

Walk with me down memory lane.
Talk with me when I call your name.
I know you see me, I know you’re there.
You noticed me, so I guess you still care.
As I grab your attention, I hope you have time to spare.
Why wouldn’t you?
Then again you do have a lot on your plate.
Maybe me contacting you is a mistake.
My past still haunts me so I’m awake.
Writing to you now even when it’s late.

Just You

This is another form of a “Hello”, Miss.
I want you to accept and cherish this.
These moments are valuable heaven sent.
Any ignorance behind it is irrelevant.
Your mind is so intelligent.
You beauty is beyond elegant.
You’re picture perfect with excellence!
Originality is a five star type rating.
You went from a girl to a fine lady.
The Color, The shape, The curves.
The description is nothing but words.
You listen then you talk.
Am I looking or do I stalk?
I just feel so entrapped.
I’m just locked in.
Your beauty got me trapped.
Stunned, I think I found the one

Lost Myself
Aaron L Osgood Dec 2019
I’m struggling with heaven because I’m still in hell.
Trying to escape but the pressure is the strongest I ever felt.
Hell seems like the most common life I try not to follow the trend.
My outer appearance looks different than what’s within.
I’m actually greater than the being wearing this skin.
Eyes looking back, with a piercing attack.
Gambling with my life but don’t want to bet on black
I don’t care for this life, I’m just trying get my old self back.
I’m stuck in neverland, I lost my soul like Peter Pan’s did his shadow.
Charlene! (My Soul Twin) help me win this battle.
From Christian to Christian,
Do we get in where we can fit in?
Is it best to hide in a crowd and pretend?
So, we won’t be singled out or lose and any friends.
I question my action wondering, Is This Me?
The only version in a mirror I can see.
Covering up my **** with clothes embarrassing to be.
The real I.
The nice, sweet and generous guy.
Actually that’s still me!
No matter the circumstances I’ll still smile even if it kills me.
I try to **** them with kindness no need for violence.
I just tend to wear a heavy coat and try to hide it.
But it’s who I am I wear my strength like Samson.
My Joy can’t be taken away or feel abandoned.
I guess it’s the light in me, the only version of Christ in me.
The only thing that keeps me going in the darkest areas.
Just so I can see...Do you agree?

Reconnection
Aaron L Osgood Dec 2019
I’m trying to reconnect to a certain line.
I contacted the operator but they couldn’t find.
The individual that I’m trying to reach.
In my dreams is the only visual so incomplete.
I have the description of an image without a name.
My dreams usually tease me, I play no games.
I can’t get in control, the dreams are usually the same.
A person in the mist, the image nearly missed.
I wake up happy and at times I’m nearly ******.
My dreams is stuck between my past and future
When that moment occurs it will feel like deja vu with humor.
Ha!, that moment couldn’t occur much sooner!
I’ll just wait until then....who knows when...

To My Past
Aaron L Osgood Dec 2019
To the people of my past you’re truly missed.
My memory is intact and moments I cannot forget.
Good or Bad life is full of twists.
But yet time is continuous it can’t be dismissed.
On my bad days I may have wished you didn’t exist.
I kept out of touch and kept my distance.
Facebook occurred then my searches was persistent.
Looking for clues that I had a past with you.
Just a glance maybe there’s a second chance.
That I can reunite the friendship between us two.

To Tabitha
Aaron L Osgood Dec 2019
This message is to my friend Tab.
Your always thought of almost like the best friends I have.
I hope you remember our past and don’t forget the fun we had.
Even if we’re living different lives and hardly crossing paths.
I guess have no choice to wait until the next time we chat.
I’m patient enough, I have enough time to clean up some stuff.
As I’m creating this it’s like I’m forming a picture from a paintbrush.
I hope you got the clue because our past lived it through.
College life in art class is where I met you.
I saw many images but being friends with you was the best view.
I’m sorry back then I wasn’t getting the hint.
Oblivious to signs even if it was assigned to I.
I need to express myself even if this a public view.
I figured this is the only way I can get to you.
I used messenger and texted- No Answer.
I know we stopped talking but we were still cool though.
Maybe this poem is a far reach and I’m just trying to say hi.
I’m in California as I’m creating this and looking at the sky
At the moment the sun is setting I guess its going to be a goodbye...
Have a goodnight and eventually we’ll speak it’s not urgent everything is alright.

A Broken Method
Aaron L Osgood Dec 2019
I hate to see a broken heart crumbled to pieces.
The more the person hurts the more the pain increases.
We love life, but what it’s worth? and What does it teaches?
Sometimes the pain is unbearable which leaves you speechless.
Asking for help so you call on Jesus.
Pray for a recovery and to strengthen this weakness.
Because you know you’re stronger than your present self.
Trying to forget the current troubles and leave it in the past.
A broken heart and a polluted mind, how long will this last?
You love yourself yet you feel so harassed.
Thinking too much of the problem just another waste of time.
Grab that glass pour some liquor or wine.
Trying to drown the sorrow and say you’re fine.
If you’re not yourself then the intoxicated version of you wouldn’t mind.
    Just give it time....Just give it time..

Get In Tuned
Aaron L Osgood Dec 2019
People think I have nothing to talk about.
But yet I stay chatting up a storm with a cloudy mind.
Thinking about situations between yours to mines.
I truly want to speak but instead I write on lines.
This is an example, a sample, as I’m scrabbling my signs.
My mind sometimes be calm or tangled in vines.
This is a new beginning another intro to a rhythmic rhyme.
At the moment I’m nothing doing anything I can spare my time.
I’ve been back and forth coast to coast but I’m doing fine.
At one moment I was going to put down the pen and resign.
But I notice members posting poetry I figured “why shouldn’t I?”
Get in tune with the groove, I found a new beat that opened my mind.
So I decided to take this opportunity, why not open my eyes?
I’m tired of being lazy I rather stand up, so I rise.
I figured I’m already driving I can enjoy this ride.
No navigation needed I use a beat as my guide.
Enthusiastic about these radio waves coming near you.
If you can’t feel it, then it should be coming soon.
Until then you can wait...
But it’s best if you can Get in Tuned.

Roads
Aaron L Osgood Sep 2019
Before I was reaching for the sky trying to make it through.
You should see me now i’m starting to make it through.
Traveling the country in a semi-truck looking at amazing views.
I’ll try to stick with my talents and pile new ones on.
Because the sky is the limit and what’s new never felt wrong.
Nerves may kick in but it’s only there to make me strong.
If life was easy it wouldn’t feel long.
But I cherish every second and take notes.
Because every inch I step could lead me down another road.

The Basics
Aaron L Osgood Aug 2019
You must understand the basics.
If you need to read the instructions.
Please do, I’m trying make this clear for you.
I want you to see out this one clear view.
The only window I’m supplying and it’s near you.
So, don’t be lazy, i get it you’ve been a little spacey.
Dealing with your own problems lately.
An understanding gentleman knows.
Yes! I know the way life suddenly goes.
Watching the seasons as the weather flows.
From Winter to the fall.
Sometimes complication occurs we can’t have it all.
Sometimes it’s best to sit & watch as it blows on by.
Remember all them happy times before you cry.
Let me get back to the basics suddenly I lost sight.
Again! Please read the instructions before you begin.
Things might seem complicated the further you get in.
Especially if your learning about me.
This brick wall been up for a while..I’m so sorry
Held my Captain America Shield up to protect my body
Harmful play towards my mind from somebody.
I rather not say any names but many has copied.
They followed through and kept it on repeat.
Sometimes returned for more fun and kept the receipt.
I just want you to learn The Basics as I speak.
If your cool, then I’m cool, and I’ll welcome you as we greet.
If you understand what I’ve been through then follow me.

I Am..
Aaron L Osgood Jul 2019
When Beauty comes around sometimes you just have Stop and Admire it. You never know when you’ll see it again.
                                -Understanding Gentleman

I want to talk to you half of me say, “I shouldn’t” and the other half say, “I should”.
I’ll just be patient until my mind say, “I could”
                                                  -Aaron L. Osgood

I could be your type! Depending on what flavor do you like?
I like to play games but not with your mind or heart. I’m talking video games, I’m ready to start!
I’m a mystery and A special person..if only I could specify.

A Break
Aaron L Osgood Jul 2019
I usually tell myself, “it’s okay”.
I’m going to put down the pen, take a little break.
Just like my drawing pencil, another little mistake.
This can’t be erased! I wasn’t thinking with my head.
I loved grabbing that pencil, sketches full of lead.
One day I’ll get back to it.
I usually tell myself, “it is what it is”.
Look towards the next entertainment, just like a kid.
I constantly move as I breathe.
If there’s something I don’t like I won’t sit still I’ll probably leave.
I always say, “I’m going to take a break from writing poetry”.
Theses words constantly be roaming me.
Another thought from my brain, knowingly.
I’m letting you in, so you can notice me.
To know why sometimes I’m here then I’m not.
Every day I usually have poetry on the spot.
Like Erica said, I have too much up my sleeve!
I just don’t write about life, things you wouldn’t believe.
My imagination exceeds and I have thoughts I need to achieve.
If only people can see what I see.
Maybe I should take a break from me.
Erica is a another talent artist. Friends with her on fb and joined her poetry group.

Renewed
Aaron L Osgood Jul 2019
I finally found that closed door open.
Bright lights as I walk through hoping.
For a different me from what I’ve been showing.
The silent me is what people been knowing.
Now, I want others to know my voice!
Spoken or unspoken poetry, I have a choice!
I believe the inner me wants to make some noise.
The enemy tried to steal my joy.
I’ve been silence since I was a little boy.
I grew up with a loving family, so I didn’t need to be.
I guess I was just saving me from me.
I figured living life this way will be easy.
The simplest things would please me.
I had no opinion, no option, or no vision.
But it didn’t matter because my story was already written...
Aaron L Osgood Jul 2019
I just want to speak to you.
Can I get one moment of your time?
I just need me to see you.
I just need you to see me.
I know sometimes it’s not easy.
I just want this one moment to last.
But I know the images of me.
Brings up the bad moments of your past.
I just want to say sorry.
Although history can repeat.
It usually does..no matter how discreet.
Things can still rise to the surfaces above.

I’m thinking of you too much.
And the mistakes that were made.
But I’m also missing your touch.
Almost by days: like yesterday and today.
Tomorrow could be a different story.
But I still think about you always.

I won’t go into details.
But I shouldn’t raise my _.
I feel sorry where it landed.
It should of firmly planted.
If it was me instead of you.
I would of never withstand it.
So, now I understand it...Why.
You left me without a goodbye.
Then again you just left.
Without a single text.
I started with a Hello...
I got silence in return
I guess your wondering what’s next..
I guess your still feeling hurt..

I’m Sorry (it’s not just words)
I’m Sorry (I really mean it when your hurt)
I’m Sorry (I should thought of my action first)
I’m so so Sorry.
I put my self in scenario’s. I’m a romantic type of guy. I cause no pain.
Aaron L Osgood Jul 2019
Don’t be a Yes Man.
Looking at yourself less than.
Take some time and Invest in.
Look at yourself in that reflection.
Just look at yourself!
What is your worth and what is your wealth?
You should think of you first and no one else.
You have the tools to repair you
No one else can see your past in their rear view.
The present is near you.
Your future should be in a clear view.
Dust yourself off you’re not done yet.
You didn’t lose but you haven’t won yet.
No matter how low the sun gets!
Seriously, you’re not done yet.
Take a hold of your life be in charge.
Don’t forget remember who you really are.
Even when the night falls and you see the stars.
I know you don’t like to feel the pain.
You wear long sleeve to cover your arms.
It’s not visible but I can still see them scars.
Your hurting within but you don’t care.
Because the real you isn’t there.
The real you is aware but could not bare.
The stupidity that you impaired.
You say, “I’m not dumb this is me!”.
Since the day of your birth I disagree.
Since the beginning we all had a choice.
We were developing as babies.
Even if we couldn’t speak yet with our voice.
Somewhere along the line you got off course.
And you changed your mind.
You left your only lonely self behind.
Then that Yes Man person was assigned.

I just want to say don’t be a Yes Man.
It’s not over you have a lot more Time.
I was waiting to get my starter dreads done. When I heard my stylist telling us her son is a Yes Man. And how his wife gets everything her way.
Aaron L Osgood Jul 2019
Don’t be a Yes Man.
You better start guessing.
You could make a choice.
Don’t let every lady steal your voice.
Your that person chillin in the back seat.
Yes! It’s relaxing, until you become obsolete.
You’ll feel less important...not complete.
