I see you.Tattered clothing,
Weary eyes,
A cardboard banner,
It's how he survives.

Chilling stares
That match the weather.
If only he had
That money-filled leather.

Pleading all day,
Praying all night
He's on the edge,
But he holds on tight.

Maybe, possibly
Just one time
Someone will care
To spare a dime.

Passing strangers
Don't seem to notice.
Perhaps he's invisible.
Or they're just heartless.

One man could stop,
And see the pain that is true,
Look into his eyes, and say,
"I see you."

GoneHe's gone
Never coming back,
I will never heal
From this heart attack
He's presence was here
Now it's gone,
I dry up the tears
That have been drawn
I look around
I see the past,
When we thought there was a forever
But nothing ever lasts
I see my image
Tear stains on my cheeks,
You are gone for good
Not just months or weeks
I saw it all
The bullet through your head,
Not a scream nor a shout escaped your lips
For then I knew you were dead
They say it was murder
But I know the way,
You took the gun
And let your soul fly away
Now I'm tortured and scared
I let the tears drip past my face,
I knew you were tortured but not

The knife and the bloodI taste the blood,
as I lick that wrecked knife,
the blood as sweet as milk dods
the knife as sharp as a scythe
I have done this before,
A million times,
it's where I put my memories to store
I cut in deep letting out not a single whine
I pull the knife out,
My mind starts to soar,
I wonder what my life is about
as I see my blood pour
I stop the knife as I hear someone coming,
I turn around,
and I start running
for I was only greeted by disappointed frowns
They say I'm a disgrace,
That I just don't fit,
that I don't have a place
why can't they just take a hint
I run from this place,
I know I'm insane,
I run from those f

The monsters take overDo you know how many nights I prayed,
For these nightmares to go away
Every time I screamed,
For every time I dreamed
The monsters awoke and I knew I was doomed,
The monsters arose and demons too
To attack,
To stab me in the back
The monsters have taken,
Every thing I have forsaken
I have dreamed of a better place,
And then I see it, the monsters' face
Your god never helped me,
Why can't you see?
It tears me apart,
They have no soul, no heart
Your god was never there,
As I feel the tear
The tear, the shatter of my heart,
God and me, we are so far apart
The monsters have come again,
Are they even sin?
I have prayed so man

Is a person's sexuality a way of life or of lust that can change if needed to?

What makes popular people so popular is it money or what they do or is it just their statues and everyone follows with out question?

Colors of my worldI paint the walls with crimson
I color the floors with darkness
I shade the shadows with rainbows
My knife is the finest paint brush
Flowing even and smooth across my skin
I spatter the walls
I splash the floors
I carve the shadows
This is my room of color
Enter if you dare
What you see
Will never leave
The crimson
The darkness
The rainbows
These are the colors I choose
And the colors I made from your body's ways
These colors are harmful and harmless
Choose your pick I could careless
I paint these walls with crimson
I color the floors with darkness
I shade the shadows with rainbows
This is my world
Enter if you dare

The way to neverI'm screaming,
I'm shouting,
I'm running,
It's all screaming in my ears

I'm screaming,
You're shouting,
I'm running,
Now I'm running from my fears

You're screaming,
You're shouting,
I'm running,
Why does this happen to me?

You're screaming,
You're shouting,
I'm running,
I seem to be blind, why can't I see?

I run,
I scream,
I shout,
I don't see that graceful sun
Was it all a dream
Now the truth will never come out

I stop the running,
I won't scream,
I won't stop to shout,
Will my life ever be done
I will never get out of this horrid dream
I won't scream but will you ever let me out.

InsanityInsanity, it takes us all,
If its in us or on the walls
Insanity, some hate,
Others will take pride in that state
Insanity it will consume the world,
Insanity it makes you see colors and swirls
Insanity it never leaves,
Insanity it makes you see
See the world for what it is for,
You may see black and grey but there is more
Insanity...
It lets you feel love,
It lets you fly high above
It lets you believe,
Insanity... it lets you see.

SlaughterMy dad is outside, slaughtering lambs.
He killed the ones I loved first.

He's a mad man.
A crazy man.
A scary man.
A murderer.

He holds his axe high.
The sheep trembles below.
He doesn't think twice.
It's quick and painless.

He's strong.
He's tough.
He's fearless.
He's heartless.

I remember getting caught
In the gaze of a lamb.
That adorable look,
And amazing, soft fur
Made me fall in love.
He said that the sheep
Would be my best friend.
He said that I didn't have to worry.

He's a liar.
He's a fraud.
He's a heart breaker.
He's a monster.

His rage manifests into violence.
He recalls all his fury.
The lamb's ple

One last drink.Drunken souls littered the midnight streets.
Hopes darken as time reels on. Seconds go by like hours as alcohol and scum course through his veins, in place of the rich crimson that once flowed throughout his body. He stumbles down the pavement, oblivious to the world that surrounds him, and focused on the taste of gin lingering on his tongue. Beads of sweat slip down his forehead as he clumsily makes his way to the door. She is waiting inside, crying and afraid. She exposes herself to the door, revealing the drunken father before her, through blurring tears. He looks at her with cold, dead eyes. She knows she is unloved. He ignores her muff

Muscles
Decorated by tattoos.

Frayed locks
Topped with a hat.

Sunglasses
Hiding his bright green eyes.

An arm
Occupied by a grocery bag.

Another arm
Lacking a hand.

Children stare.
Teenagers laugh.
Parents try to look away…

And his smile waves hello.

This is really cool, I love that you noticed all of these details. There's a quote in the book Zen and The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance that says, "We're always passing unseen through little moments of other people's lives," and that's what this makes me think of, only you did notice and see him. Really cool, I really like this.
