Ladies and gentlemen. I bid you silence for a second.
Yes, I know, but it'll only take a second.
Come on, please? It's this type of thing I'm going to talk about.
Alright then. Ladies and gentlemen. …
You can spend a lifetime planning
Where your lifetime's gonna go
You can spend a lifetime planning
All the things you're gonna know
You can spend a lifetime planning
Trying to decide just one decisio…
He sits in his room and plots the world's demise
Through this musky gloom comes all light to his eyes
This darkened vision, this darkened sight
Unwelcome decisions taken in perpetual night
And this p…
One of the sad facts about life is that you have to get older
One of the good facts in life is that we progress
When balanced together, it can seem irritating.
I'm turning it through in my head 'til …
I mean, personally, I find it difficult to see
Why anyone on this Earth would become a refugee
After all, it's quite frankly plain to me
There's no place like home to be quite so homely
I mean, my pa…
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here to sell you one hell of an adventure
The only fear that I have is that you'll love too well it's splendour
You'll be enticed, drawn in, and instantly infatuated
As I pr…
This is dedicated to anyone who's every found themselves apologising for no less a mortal sin than just being themself
Let me just start off by saying you all *the* most spectacular fantastic amazin…
Any fool, or any dunce
Can, if they try, make the world stop once.
To make the world see them, to make the world know
That this fella right here is a guy who's gonna grow
It's not too hard, doesn't …
Just to say, I'm not your typical run of the mill human being
I'm not like that standard model you see walking around
I'm fully equipped with genuine thought 'n' feeling
With all the latest gadgets t…
So, it's my birthday. I've survived another year.
And I did it my way. And yes I'm still here.
I've clung on for life for another orbit of the sun
I've survived much strife but now this year is done
…
The first time I cried, and realised I wasn't ashamed
Was the first time I realised that I had cried as a man.
When I decided to accept responsibility when I was blamed
I realised that I was finally …
It's happened. Again.
It feels kind of insane
How often it's said
That I'm in over my head
Everything is rushing
I'm embarrassed and blushing
Because I should understand
But I'm really not the wante…
It takes a lot of courage to stand up to our enemies,
But a great deal more to stand up to your friends.
In fact, courage comes in many places
But it follows no patterns or trends.
Courage can be exa…
When I was younger, I was a little scared of books.
They were all terribly impressive after all.
They contained worlds I could never understand.
Words I could never hope to comprehend.
Books were alm…
I know why I'm stuck down here
But I'm still occasionally the one who gets scared
Cause I'm constantly plagued by a single fear
It's unheard of, as a demon who dreams of nightmares
See I threw in my…
Hey man!
Hi.
Whats up?
Not much. How're you?
How am I? Well.
That's kinda difficult.
See, I'd describe myself as kinda complex. A little bit unusual, y'know?
Saying how I am is gonna take a little …
This was a poem written when I first share my poetry blog to all of my facebook friends. 8 year later, the fact some people are still reading my words is amazing. I hope you've enjoyed it, and I'm st…
You kinda have to be an artist to understand.
That behind each masterpiece of art lies work unseen.
That thousands of brushstrokes went into building the technique
That many paintings were discarded…
I've always been told,
"Why can't you just stop for a second and smell the roses?
Can't you see how pretty it is?
Feel how soft it's petals are?
How the thorns give pungent imagery about the intertwi…
It's quite odd that we view not caring about something as cool
I don't know why, but I had this feeling all the way through school
That it was wrong to have any greater goal and mission
That the grea…
