**** me
Just let me go
**** that part of me
That lives on in your soul
I can not
Live on anymore
Tear me out
Don't heal the sore
Let me go
Just let me leave
I'm begging you
To believe
I loved you once
I swear I did
I never lied
But you always did

Go a day
Without your phone
Observe nature
You're not alone
Hear the wind
Whisper through the trees
Let it in
That feeling of ease
Don't tweet about it
Don't Facebook check in
Just let the sunlight
Dance on your skin

We fight fire with fire
Only to create more flame
Tempers rise higher and higher
Who's really to blame?
Our fights you see,
They cause more harm.
But anger comes so naturally
Rage paired with a fiery arm
The bombs ignite
The people flee
Smoke blurring their sight
A desolate land as far as the eye can see
Innocent families lie dead in their grave
America's fee
For fighting the home of the brave.
Back and forth the cycle goes on
Continuous fire and war
No one will admit they're wrong
What happened to the peace before?
Who sent it to hell
To live with all the fire
That never worked too well
Bring it back up above
To calm all the hate
To spread the love
To negotiate.
No blood
No flame
No flood
It's tame
Peace as far as the eye can see
One day we'll look back and say
Can you remember that day
That we fought so recklessly?

Why am I in Algebra?
I don't understand a thing
You'll use it every day they tell me
But for my career, I want to sing.
Why am I in chemistry?
I don't understand a thing
You'll use it every day they tell me.
Even if I just want to sing?

Why are you failing?
They ask me.
Because I don't understand a thing.
You won't go very far with a grade like that.
You're just not listening.

I'm afraid it's you who won't listen
You see,
These things won't help one bit
Not with what I've chosen to be
This is complete *******.
I want to sing
Not multiply a and b
Orbital rings
Can't help me stay on key
Teach me what I can use
For what I want to be
Maybe then you won't lose
This student that you see

Eyes.
Colored orbs
Made for sight.
Mine.
Only see your beauty
In the moon light.
Windows
To the soul
They say.
Mine.
Have a tendency
Of turning away.
Closed.
You'll fall into
A deep sleep.
Eyes.
Yours live
In the dreams I keep.

Two AM.
I'm writing poetry.
In bed.
Two AM.
I'm writing to you.
In my head.
Two AM.
I'm sleep deprived.
Drinking coffee.
Two AM.
Shaking the sleep.
Off of me.

Do I dare?
Tell you how I feel?
Should I?
How do I show that it's real?
My love?
Do I let it be known?
For you?
Can you see how it's grown?
Can I?
Let the words come out?
Will I?
Why am I so filled with doubt?  
Love?
Shouldn't it be easy?
Please?
Promise you won't tease me?
Will you?
Let me know?
Do you love me?
Like winter loves snow?
