Wanderer

I keep going
Without a compass
I have no direction

Still don't know
I keep thinking
What do I want?

I want a good life
Surrounded by dogs
Alongside someone I love

Other than that
I have no clue
There are so many factors

A place to live
A career to pursue
So many major decisions

People always tell me
That I'll get there
But I have no destination

Where am I going?
There's no map to tell me
Where I need to go

No path is laid out for me
I walk around aimlessly
Just hoping to find something

Dr. Jekyll

I’m thinking hard about what to say. I know that if I say the wrong thing My words will be used against me. My thoughts are overwhelming And I become frustrated. I appear to be unresponsive. The silence grows louder. It’s screaming in my ear. I start to panic. In thunderous roars I feel myself losing my sanity. I hiss. I growl. I shout. I imagine what my response feels like. It probably feels like a slap to the face, Or a venomous sting. For a moment, I can’t see a thing. It’s all just red. When the storm passes I see you standing in front of me, Angry and confused. I had a feeling this would happen. That damn Hyde. He’s always exposing the worst of me. I try to salvage this. To say what I really meant. But it’s too late. The damage has been done, And you now see the ugliness within me. Cynical, Twisted, And unhinged! You lash out. Calling me out for what I am. Believe it or not, I am j...

To All Men

To the men who claim they respect women, Do you stand up for us? If you hear another man Talking about sexually assaulting a woman, Do you confront him? Or do you say nothing? If a friend of yours catcalls a girl, Do you shut him up and condemn him? Are you silent? Or do you laugh and join him? If a drunk guy touches a girl And she exposes him later, And you know it happened, Do you justify his actions? Or do you stand up for her? If a girl comes onto you, And she’s completely wasted, Do you stop her? When your girl says she’s not in the mood, Do you pressure her? Or ignore her? You can say you respect women all you want, But your actions are what determines if actually do. If you want to do right by women, Be a better man.

The Quiet Kid

I sit in class everyday and actually listen. Not only to the teacher, but to you. You don't know my name. Sometimes you forget I exist. But I know your name. Alex. You have a dog named Sparky,. You play soccer, And your favorite color is green. I must really like you if I know all of this useless information, right? No. In fact, I think you're a jerk and a bit of a racist. The only reason I know these things is because you talk during the lecture. Also, you wear green all the time. I know a lot about Brenda, Jimmy, and Susan too. And although I would never want to be friends with any of you, I do find you all very intriguing. Also, I think Mr. Clark is getting a divorce. He's stopped wearing his ring and he doesn't mention Karen anymore. It's funny how I know so much about all of you, But you know nothing about me. I laugh to myself at the shocked looks on your faces when I say a single word. Didn't know I could talk, huh? And even ...
