Philosophy
Being a philosopher is easy
All you have to do is think
But becoming a philosopher is dangerous
It's like becoming immune or resistant to poison
You take a little bit at a time until you become used to it
But if you take to much or too frequently...
You could become poisoned
Never give up
Never let the fire burnout
Never let the wind die
Never let the current halt
Never let the stone crumble
Never let the spark lose its shock
Never let the gem lose it's shine
And never give in to defeat
The Beast
I am a Beast
Not the kind that you run in fear from, more of a hybrid
A mix of cat and dog probably
I have a family and home
I just feel misplaced and alone
I am loyal and honest, but a little sneaky and sly
I believe myself awkward, but others say I am attractive
I am rebellious and stubborn, yet so passive and calm you wouldn’t be able to tell
I am loud and obnoxious, yet quiet and shy usually
I am smart, quick witted, and clever, perhaps a little too much so
I am not the biggest fan of attention and affection
But I believe there is someone is who are different it that way
The only problem is that I have yet to find them
Lies
I've been told lies by someone who thinks themselves clever
Those lies torture my heart
The liar is me ex-lover
Now let me tell these lies from the start
They said they only loved me
Truth be told they wanted another's heart
They made me feel like I was the key
The key to their locked heart
They said they loved everything about me
They said there would never be anyone greater to meet
But as I can now see
That too was deceit
And as I stand here broken
I think of how much they lied to me
And wonder if I ever meant anything to them
