The Face of a Leader Tells Us Nothing

Through tests and trials
    I have come.
Through deep depression
    I have come.
Through faceless friends
    I have come.
Through sleepless nights
    I have come.
Through bitter hatred
    I have come.
Through freezing storms
    I have come.
Through tears and tireless toil
    I have come!

And I stand here today
And I can proudly say

I have won.

Temptation

It all seemed just so harmless.
A prank at first, indeed.
I had no inclination
On where this joke would lead.

I let myself to wander
To a distant, darkened place.
First curious to test the grounds
Of the freedom I embraced.

Scarred and scared, 'twas unprepared,
to see the things hid there.
Oh my, Oh me, what I did see!
What burden I now bear!

...

Crazed by my obsession,
consumed by greed and lust,
I lost my soul in darkness.
Hate much easier than trust.

A feel of paper was to my heart.
A weakness I befell.
And run away, to lonely be
A wretch in burning Hell.

He promised me, don't you see?
A life of pleasantry!
But, alas. It went by fast,
Alone the end will be.

...

Alone, alone... All alone.
I see what I must do.
But no desire to do the deed,
I bid my cares adieu.

Taunted by the cricket
deep inside my head,
I try to push away the good,
as once I did with bad.

Oh so terse is the curse
laid on those like this:
Replace good where bad once stood,
or become as an abyss.

going up

I don’t want to go up in front of the class
I don’t want to go up, I think I will pass
Why, do you ask, that I don’t want to go
Why, do you ask, do you really not know
What do I do when I start to mess up?
What do I do when my voice goes amuck?
What will I do, when going up, I trip
What if my pants start to suddenly rip?
What if my voice were to suddenly crook
And people start laughing when I’ve made no joke
What if people start yelling my name,
Saying my presentation is totally lame
Then what will happen when they start to boo
All this might possibly happen, its true
So what will I do teacher, tell me this
What will I do when the crowd starts to hiss?
What, what’s that you say
You say to keep going, pretend its okay
You say you go through this every day

books

When I read a book it takes me away

To a different time, to a different day

I can go anywhere (round about)

All I need to do is check a book out


One moment I’m with 3 shiny knights

The next moment I’m with eagles in flight

Then I take a trip under the sea
Then I’m in a room, alone with just me

I smile to myself at the things that I’ve read

I’ve been all around, yet stayed in my bed
The poor people who’ve never had this feeling
Trying to keep it inside, I can’t help but squealing

I’ve been places one can only imagine

In a mountain, fighting a dragon
I’ve done all this, and even more
And I never even had to go to the store

Some books are old and forgotten

And some have characters that are nasty and rotten
But as long as you have a book in your hand
You better prepare for a time that is grand

late

Roy the boy was always late
Which his teachers did not appreciate
He’d talk to his friends for much to long
And would even listen to every song
He’d lollygag and drag his feet
He didn’t care about getting to his seat
He thought “so what “about school attendance
He’s teachers thought he needed more dependence
But one day the school lunchroom wouldn’t let him in
They thought this school he was no longer in
So now he roams the school trying to get to class
But by the time he gets there the bell has already passed
So don’t ever be late to class my boy
Unless you want to end up like Roy
Who roams the halls forever more
Trying to get in every class door

leaving

I lie in bed hinking of you
And another breath I painfulydrew
For tomorrow you leave and I won’t see you for long
And now it feels like you have already gone
Two years I will wait for you to return
And every day I will feel some burn
What will I do without you there?
Without your love and your wonderful care
Though your leaving so far for a very good reason
And I won’t see you for a couple of seasons
But as you watch me cry
I see a tear start to form in your eye
So hush now my dear
There is nothing to fear
Though you may be far away
in your hart i will stay
though it may hurt for a whil
put on a smile
for i will still love you when you return
