what amber light
that glows
dwells in the
dungeon  soul
where my
dreams
take hold

Run
I told you to run so we could be free
Why sacerfice yourself for other
You gave so much
You fought for them
When all they did was spit on you

I ask why
"I have nothing to lose"
You said
You have me
You can lose me

They caught you
Put a necklace of rope around your neck
You fought
No point

I told you to run
You stayed and fought
For the people
Who put you there
Why not run

Witness mankind taking one step in the right direction.
I would like to see one moment of global unity. One in my lifetime would suffice, just one.

You put on your makeup, that takes 20 minutes of your time,
Then you chose an outfit, another 10 minutes of your life,
Then you are set and ready to leave, you lookin great,
Till you realize you have no money at all.
None.
Zero.
Nada.
I for one, would be enraged. I mean, why does money have to define whether or not I can go out and have some fun tonight. Why must my happiness be measured by how much money I have?
I can't even get a job. I'm in college, currently in winter break, which is only like what, 3 weeks? How can I get a job that will only last me 3 weeks?!
I could shovel snow maybe? But that's completely dependent on the weather, and some people aren't even nice about others shoveling for them.
I could sell my textbooks, but I should have thought about that before I left college and left all my textbooks there...

In the end, I have no options. And I most definitely will not ask my parents for money, because they have already given me enough.
So you know what I did tonight instead of going to a lovely salsa class with wonderful people, and great salsa music?
I wrote this ******* poem, or whatever you want to call it.

I feel boxed in...
With nowhere to turn.
I can't go another night...
Being in here.
No food. No water. No soul...
Just a Box.
No light. No one. No soul...
Just a Box.

I never thought
That one person
Could be so many things

That one person
Could fulfill so many positions

That one person
Who is my best friend
The one who I tell all my secrets to
The one who laughs at all my jokes

And that one person
Is my other half
The one who completes me
The one who loves me with all their heart

That one person
Is also be my protector
The one who would jump in front of a bullet
The one who hugs me when everything goes wrong

And that one person
Is my lover
The one who makes my heart melt
The one whose touch makes me shiver

I never knew
That, that one person
Would be you
But as I think about it
I am so very happy that it is
