Time

Oh sweet second, where have you gone?
Your quick life passes, seemingly just a pawn.

Oh minor minute, sing your sweet song.
Alone you're so short, together you're long.

Oh harsh hour, I watch you go by.
One long rotation, then I must say goodbye.

Oh damn day, will you ever end?
I want to get home, I need a friend.

Oh yawning year, you all blur together.
After so many, it's time to cut my tether.

Oh tremendous time, so fast so slow.
Will we ever be free of you? We do not know.
 

Things We Don’t Say

Things We Don’t Say

The things we don’t say,
When we think them,
When we feel them,

The things we don’t say,
To our friends,
To our love,

The things we don’t say,
They mean so much,
They are the most important things,

The things we don’t say,
They become our biggest regrets,
I love you.
 

Purdue, Purdue, What Are You?

Purdue, Purdue, what are you?
Your buildings made of brick.

Your towers tall, with many a hall,
students watch time tick.

From clocktower high, it soars to the sky,
surveying all it sees.

Akin to those, whom Johnson drags to new lows,
they pass the rest with ease.

Purdue, Purdue, what are you?
the students in your care?

Some study hard, some play the bard,
and those who drink aren't rare.

Then are some, when called they come,
to save us from the horde.

The zombies foul, who scream and howl,
vanquished by nerf and sword.

Purdue, Purdue, what are you?
cradle of quarterbacks?

And astronauts, plus new robots,
you don't cater to the quacks.

But for the brains, it pours, it rains,
Nobel prizes you acquire.

You bring them in, gold medals pin,
to greatness, you aspire.

Purdue, Purdue, what are you?
Shiny gold and black.

Our greatest years, we'll remember with tears,
we'd never give them back.

Never done, but always fun,
You give us our degree.

Costs work and sweat, it's a sure bet
the best things in life aren't free.
 

Dear Ms Right,

Dear Ms Right,

I know you are somewhere,
I know you exist.
I might even know you,
Wouldn't that be a twist?

Give me a sign,
Let me you know you are here,
Or I'll pass you by
Never knowing, I fear.

Stop hiding away,
stop dodging my sight,
come out in the open,
it's okay, I don't bite.

Or stay in the shadows,
Stay far away,
Don't let me see you,
It's alright, it's okay.

But do remember this,
Many years from today,
When I'm far far gone,
You may regret this day.
 

An Ode to Minecraft

I wonder, as I wander, through these cubes piled so high,

when will it end, when will I die?

For the monsters are out there, ready and tall,

To put an arrow right through me, and tear down my hall.



I spend so many hours, building my keep,

tall walls that surround it, their benefits I reap.

cap'd with tall towers, perched on mountaintop,

the castle of Andy, is solid as rock.



Below in the mountain, I've delved and I've dug,

and carved out a city, hidden deep from above,

the rooms and the vaults are all full as can be,

holding my treasure, and a tall Christmas tree.



Back up above, one peak tops the rest,

Upon it, my watchtower, watching the west,

and the east and the north and the south all as well,

On the lookout for monsters and minions of hell.



My fortress is perfect, my castle is tight,

But sometimes I must leave, and venture into the night.

Each time's a battle, each time's a risk,

There's even giant spiders thrown into the mix.



So what will become of me in this my dark world?

Stay safe and bored in my castle, or see my banner unfurled,

as I step into the wild, out into the unknown,

I wonder, as I wander, am I really alone.
 

You Can't Always Get What You Want

It's a hard life lesson to accept, but one that touches all parts of our life. There's no such thing as inherent fairness in life, excepting what we create, and fate plays no favorites. Even though we all want things like a new car, a bigger house, and even something that's considered less selfish, true love, we won't always get it, and it's just life.

Whether it's never finding your soulmate, or worse, finding one you consider to be it and having that person reject you, many times life Doesn't work out. Even worse than being rejected, is having to reject someone else. An unmutual interest is bad on Both sides. Whatever the situation though, for whatever reason, you could, as scary as it seems, end up alone.

Is it really that bad?

Maybe. I had a friend tell me recently that she didn't even know what she was working towards anymore. What is the point in the end of amassing wealth if one has no one to share it with. That's certainly a valid point of view, but I reject it, because I don't think that love is in a catagory of it's own. What is the point of anything? Money, power, wealth? We all die in the end, and on that deathbed, all the money in the world isn't going to save you. By the same key, the love of your life holding your hand isn't going to save you either, and if you are the one holding the hand, it's the most painful thing in the world.

I'm not saying that finding that perfect someone is pointless, nor that we shouldn't attempt to do so. But failing to find him or her isn't the end of the world, similarly to a failure to become a millionare isn't. It's just one aspect of life, and there are others. Close friends, family, they can all fill emotional gaps.

We must realise that there are no guarantees in life. Being rejected sucks, but it's nothing to be mad about, it's just part of life. Move on, maybe we'll find somene, maybe not. That's one of the reasons I hate when people say, ohh there are plenty of other fish in the sea, or don't worry, you'll find someone eventually. You very well might Not. If we accept that fact and live with it, we acn avoid a whole host of depression, and overall live happier lives. Just need to accept that you can't always get what you want.


 

Life

I wake up so early,
it's 1 pm,
who turned the lights on?
warm bed for the win.

I hate getting up,
but I hate going to bed.
Should I sit up?
Naw, I'll go back to sleep instead.

2 hours later,
I'm finally at class,
trying to listen,
but the prof goes so fast,

Write down my notes,
Even study them too,
When the exam rolls around though,
I never have a clue.

At least some things are up,
I've got my friends,
Hang out, play xbox,
I can watch the trends,

Of which games are up,
which games are down,
Man, I love halo,
but I look like a clown,

When I try to shoot doubles,
or I bust out my sword,
at least I can be 1337
when I'm fighting the hoard.

Sometimes I go out,
Walk around town,
Watch the snow falling,
campus's winter evening gown.

So peaceful out there,
when there no one hear,
I burst into song,
Until strangers appear.

So my life isn't bad,
but I do have one wish,
I wish for one to share it with,
Without using a satellite dish,

or a wifi connection,
Or a cable internet wire.
I want to hold her hand,
no I'm not a liar,

I want to kiss her lips,
touch her face,
hold her in my arms,
wouldn't that be grace?

Yes I want someone to share it wish,
Share my life, she'll be my mirror,
fight here in Halo even,
Ha, you're goin' down, dear!

Someday I'll find her,
Keep searching 'til then,
I know that she's out there,
That day will be full of win.
