-Nothing is never something
-We are as we see -Conflict wages in and around us -But only we define us -Seek what battles to fight -Win or lose -We are who we choose -A balance to strive towards -Though others may fall short -We strive to transform -Decisions -Ambitions -Reasons we live or die for -Less is not always more -More is not always best -So place your mind at rest -Before you take that next step
-Wrong direction, misplaced affection -Rejection -Another one of life's little lessons -You and me, the possibilities -I took a chance on yes, and you replied with no -So many emotions -Doubting self-worth, fighting anger -Just want to go back to us being strangers -Hurt and pain -Put myself out there, but for what gain? -May not be a coward, but I sure want to take back that last hour -I know, I have many things to offer -You don't see them, so I suffer? -One day I'll find another -Who will love all of me, unconditionally, and eternally *TOO SEE MORE POEMS BY AAYLX CLICK "PREVIOUS" OR "FORWARD"!!!
Wait, Stay
-The thought of you makes me smile -Maybe a crush, feeling flushed -Maybe a love, feeling rushed -You take me somewhere else -See things I couldn't see for myself Wait, Stay -Let us explore this connection -I think of you often -Tell me you don't see it? -You're so beautiful, an energy so pure, a heart so open Wait, Stay -If I could remember my dreams, I am sure they are of you -That's why I sleep so soundly -You're like my heartbeat, the air I breathe, the soul I seek -An image in the mirror, that until now, I never understood who was looking back at me Wait, Stay
-It’s not what was sold to me, what was told to me
-Idealized discipline and unlimited opportunity -But really -It’s a well-oiled hypocrisy, a well-defined bureaucracy -Lead by too many spot lights who don’t care -No individual or resource is spared -A hand shake here and a hand wave there -Politics before competence -Selective policies before logical equality -Embracing mediocrity instead of celebrating creativity -A directive here and a delegation there -No consequence for laziness -Save for the broken backs of those who never quit -Notional oversight over methodical development -Shit in and shit out -Yet so shocked when the mission doesn’t work out -Readiness in personnel, equipment, and training -Yet we don’t hold all to equal accountability -Yet we don’t emphasize responsibility to maintain property -Yet we don’t provide deliberate time to resource and train properly -As we downsize, issues continue to climb -The same tired souls tow the line -From point A to point B -Sacrifices they decline to see -But a self-validation is guaranteed -Hunger for esprit de corps -Pray for another door -Salute to a better day -Change be the right of way
-I don't always want to be around you
-But it's not because I don't love you -I do, It's just that -You're an extrovert, and I'm an introvert -Sometimes I need -Time, space -Alone, for me -Alone, and free -Free to think, free to breathe -See there are some parts of me I can't share -Some parts of me I don't dare -You may feel it's not fair to you -My defensive mechanism that keeps my life, for a long time, from feeling like a prison -I rely mostly, no, almost always on me -That is why I lock inside my deepest thoughts and dreams -From myself and everyone else -Sweet, sour -Weak, power -My words are always louder -Not always right, but it helps me sleep through the night -Rest, to the next day; Always, one more fight -I'm sorry you feel hurt -But I still want our friendship to work -So do what you want to, and I'll do what I have to -Not about control just doing what it takes for me to feel whole -Maintain my senses and cleanse my soul
-What a hopeless romantic longs for -Someone to open our heart for -Brings out that smile inside -Why, hide your feelings for her -Why, torture your mind -She can't be happy with you -Something so beautiful -I don't deserve -What have I done -To grow, earn love -To hear her say no -Is worse than letting the dream go -A mind so heavy -A tougue so frozen -A concious so unsure -Pain endures -Better than nothing at all -Don't Say -I'm a coward -I'm a fool -I do what I can -I am...what I am -I am...a broken man -Maybe in another life -I could take that risk -Not miss -A chance -For a meaningful relationship -Don't Say -I can't be someone special to you -If only I could unfold -Reach out and take hold -Your hand -Help you understand -Don't Say -I'm nothing to you -If only my thoughts could move -Communicate to you -I want something more -Don't Say -I can't be next to you -One look in your eyes -And my whole world feels right -For the first time -Don't Say - I can't say - I can't say - I can't say *TOO SEE MORE POEMS BY AAYLX CLICK "FORWARD"!!
