Thanks for the Memories

I love it when people glance over at me for at least that one second,

cause then i know i have crossed their mind.

Whether it be good or bad, you've cared enough to look,

and try to see what im all about.

Thanks for the memories

Thanks for your time

But.... but

there is that one person whom you wish to glance for a bit more in time

because you are hooked on them beautiful eyes

know what im saying

but really though tell me your name

tell me your thoughts

oh yeah and whats your sign

cause you and i just looking aint working for me

its a tease among teases

cause you need to say something

i just dont want to be rude

i dont know if your looking at me for a good or bad reason -

do i have something in my teeth?-

i dont know if you want to get to know me

im just that nice guy, whose got the game of a mouse

i want to get to talk to you but... fuck theres a wall

im in a maze in my own brain

and i just dont want to fall into another trap

is that guy next to you your man

or is he waiting for his coffee too

oh my goodness why is confronting someone so hard,

whatever, you know what theres more of you

i dont need to talk to you ill meet someone else.

-

but oh

you would your pretty damn slick

the barista just gave me your number

that you wrote really quick

ok miss hazel eyes at five foot seven

i guess we can grab coffee

lets say friday at eleven.

_well i cant be the only one whose experienced this, its pretty damn clear but if you dont know what i mean ask cause dam im awestruck

I am the Alpha Wolf

I am burdened with power

yet i have no responsibility for it

I am burdened with responsibility

yet i have no power for it

I am able to help

yet i cant help myself

I am able to help myself

yet i cant help

-

I contradict myself like most of the world

but am I the only one that feels this way?

I have the power to be the alpha wolf

yet why am i bound that way

I have the responsibility

yet there is no true meaning to it anymore

I have the ability to help others

yet i dont know where i got this gift

-

This world is so confusing

or maybe its just me

-

I have no responsibility

because of my lifestyle

I have no power

because i dont have THAT job

I cant help myself because, i dont know whats wrong with me

-

I'm a leader amongst leaders

...

I'm sorry but,

I'm shit lost in this world of chaos.

_Its something, I hope, we can all relate too. Seems that everyone establishes a certain amount of power to someone based on either social status or lifestyle. But when someone lives that lifestyle you are powerful, but if someone were to look down on you, you have no power. Its confusing but something to think about. Especially when you can help a friend but when you break down you dont know what to do. Just something to think about. something ive been "established" as amongst my peers.

You ask why...

Oh people these days,

With the hype of being 'green'

But i have no problem with that,

I do not have a nic to pick with them

Its the modern day hippy...

All i hear is why are people ruining the world

"Why do people do this to the world, the world is to beautiful for this"

"Why do we have to live like this, this world is so money based-

school related,

and success is based on a plan"

"Why can't we live free"

UGH! Stop complaining

If there is no meaning

Then stop your screaming,

Do something... seriously,

Actually-

I bet you drive a car

I bet you use paper

I bet you live in a house

I bet you have a job

I bet you wear clothes

I bet you're also human

cause without all this you would not be complaining

while sipping on your starbucks cup,

that is, a matter of fact, made out of that tree you love so much,

and shut up about starbucks recycling its only the sleeve.

People are just talk nowadays with no action what so ever.

And your going to ask,

"Why are you so ignorant?"

"Why are you so cold?"

"Why are you mean?"

"Why are you saying this"

Why, why, why, why

I'm simply stating my opinion

Based on your opinion

Because your opinion

To me makes no sense.

Hypocrite.

I bet you don't want to walk

I bet you don't want to use leaves

I bet you don't want to live under a tree

I bet you don't want to be money free cause you need your starbucks fix

I bet you are still human and sane.

I love this world as much as the next person,

But I deal with it because thats just the way it is,

Maybe I actually think positive

Maybe I actually love life

_Well sorry, I was just fed up with what I've heard about people complaining yet they drive a benz or any car and sip on starbucks like it was crack. No more need to explain, its just how it is. And really now for those who are reading this and are saying "I would do that if i could" ... whose stopping you this IS a free world. You may go live under a tree and love it, prove me wrong. Seriously.

Who were you?

A giggle from afar gives makes me curious

A smile that makes me anxious ride down my spine

Her rose red cheeks giving her such a cute tone

And with a glance into her eyes she has caught me in a trance,

Our eyes do the talking,

glancing back and forth smiling,

chuckling,

and blushing with no intent

Our minds intertwine and now its a love match

To see, Oh to see which one has got the patch

The oh-shit-wait patch to hold back the attach-

ment, the attachment of;

"lets go out on a date" ... "yes" or

"what time should i pick you up" ... "six, but i need to be home before ten because of my dad" or

"that sounds good it was nice to meet you, ______" ... "is was nice to meet you too, _____"

But I dont need your name or your number to spare

Cause you and I are just a love mystery affair.

_This speaks to those times where your at a restaurant, cafe, laundry mat, or any type of store where you just see that one person and automatically you think you connect, (or you guys do i dont know) but you do nothing to pursue it and keep wondering "what if?" Hope you enjoyed i would love feedback and such.

First time on here

For the past few weeks I've been looking for a place to post my new upcoming spoken word writings. This site just feels more adequate to spoken word, and to express a more creative side to me. Please read up most of it will be amateurish, but I will get better a long the way.
