Blind to the fact that you were there Convinced I was that you hated me The only sight I knew was discipline When you told me you were leaving Hatred and anger raged inside of me For no pity I tried to show you Every negative action you displayed made me closer to her. But little did I know That you were there the whole time In more ways than one

 * Edited Draft**-You were there

Blind to the fact that you were there Convinced I was that you hated me The only sight I knew was discipline When you told me you were leaving

Hatred, anger and rage boiled inside of me For no pity I tried to show you Every negative action you displayed made me closer to her.

But little did I know That you were there the whole time In more ways than one Mostly positive

As much as you could You showed me the definition of what is a man. So I walked in your footsteps

Now I believe I understood the actions you displayed Were for my own good And I am forever thankful.

Denied

That hot summer day At christy in lacthkey we were forced to stay nothing could be better as we waiting for mom By a margin of 10 the pros outweighed the cons 5 And then as I turned my back I spotted you laying on your back 12 feet into the air you rose and then as I looked tears rolled down my nose As I saw you getting taken to the ambulance 10 I wanted to be there and stand by your side because you are mines but unfortunately I was denied.

 * __William Shakespeare__**

Detailed Study of Shakespeare

In my opinion poetry does not have to be understood by others. Often times it actually is misunderstood. William Shakespeare had this problem in his lifetime. “Nor did I wonder at the lily's white, Nor praise the deep vermilion in the rose;They were but sweet, but figures of delight, Drawn after you, you pattern of all those.” These words may not have a very good syntax to people like you and me. But to William Shakespeare, this type of syntax makes the most sense and it expresses the most meaningful type of poetry. This style of english does not appeal to many people but it has somehow appealed to me. **Through the Darkness**

In the middle of my mind theres only one thing the "Pollution manifested in perpetual sound" and i'm not exempt from this ring 5. Escape is not an option

The darkness holding me tightly I've had enough of this Interventions are needed slightly The path to the light I seek 10. this journey i've only begun to take and its as though nothing goes right the near impossible decisions i have to make losing this war shall not be an option pain cannot seem to have to have lost 15. any step with the torture of my mind giving up i swear won't happen I'm done with the crying "Linkin Park-Forgotten"

Can I?

Can I see it the answer was no Well can I have it the answer is still no Well I must earn it I don't think you can Wanna bet me Yeah Can I? Watch me First I won't give up Second I won't lose trust Then I forget insignificance And only thing left to do is lust After your Perfection
