Please never go away
From our little paradise
Where you and I can stay
I don't want to be cold
Laying here all alone
Our story will go untold
So, come back and hold me
So I can melt away my struggle
In our little paradise where we can be

You Won't Hear Me Say This
But yoU Aren't Ready Yet
I wilL neveR See You As One Of Us
Unlike You, I Had To earN This
So Stay Out Of mY Way
And I Will respecT Yours
But Know This...
This is another one of my really old riddle poems. Still, I'd share it though. It's especially easy to find the message this time, too.

They say do as your told,
Says Wise Old Sage,
And then your story will eventually unfold
But why do that when you can rip off the page?

I've been lost in my mind
For as long as anyone can remember
And I was nothing if not kind
Only because I didn't possess that ember
I run off of oil
Not the desirable heart
Even within this turmoil
Everyone found there start
That's why I look up above
Because it is my dream
To soar like a dove
Without a voice that can scream
About tomorrow's endless sorrow
Just a small note about the title, its a stupid pun on "Mechanical Device". Just wanted to share a small bit of my thought process on the title.

Here I am once again
Picking up this dainty pen
To write about that pain
That crawls within the muddy rain
The day where I picked up that rose
The moment where I  froze
Eternally at every social strife
Because I realized, I stole its life

Would you follow his will?
To patiently stand still
And accept everything you're told?
To live in a world where the bold
Are sent down to Hell?
Go ahead, ring that bell

I will form my own way
With no need for him
I am able to prevent the sway
And I will slowly trim
My path forward
There is no other way to proceed onward

This is my mistake.
Not yours. Not anyone else's. Mine.
This was my doing.
I'll take all the booing;
That's just fine.
I'll show what this mistake
Is able to make.
