Life is static.
What, better?!
No,change is not better.
What you have is the evil known,
And you should be happy with that!
So quoth the good professor.
(Such a fine lesson to teach was his thought.)
Be content with what you have.
What you've got is what you deserve.
There's no more for you out there.
Nay, nay!
So replied the wise student.
Life proves more.
Meant to live, and laugh, and love.
All cynicism aside,
Trying is worth the pains.
So who was the wiser?
The student say I,
For as long as hope hold my cynicism at bay.

Motivation?
Indignation,
Anger,
Frustration
All manifestations of my hatred for here.
I run, and run, and run...
But I'm getting nowhere.
There can be no freedom.
I write poetry because prose won't flow.
I put words to paper because spoken,
They mean nothing.
Here there is no change,
And nothing you say will change that.
Over his dead body.
(Mine may fall)
Repression,
Crushing,
Stifling
What am I to do if I can't be free?
I spew venomous words on paper,
Only to erase them.
The Censor might get angry.
Punishment gets me nowhere faster.
They're on to me.
They're coming,
And the end, even, was in sight!
I'd nearly made it.
Don't think maybe you could.
Just stay away.
There's no gain worth here.

My Angel Eyes is no angel at all.
She could make any angel fall.
What's best of all,
She's no angel to me,
But everyone else can't see
Just what little angel she can be.
Mein Engel Augen
Mein Engel Augen ist ein engel nicht.
Sie Konnt einigen engel fallen machen.
Was ist best von alle,
Sie ist ein engel zin mich nicht,
Sondein jeder sehen nicht.
Eben was ein klein engel konnt sie sind.

Don't tell me what I am when you don't even want to know me.
You don't really care, you just want your face.
How can you claim to know me at all?
All you do is criticize; what truth can you speak?
If you would only close your mouth and open up your heart.
Then you just might see what we all really could be.
You tell us where we fit in,
Making us square pegs in round holes.
Let us decide and be our own!

Sympathy...
It escapes me.
I just can't care.
I say I love you,
But it's just not there.
There is one thing I can do.
I can lie,
Lie like I always do.
It's not that I hate you.
I just don't care,
But do not despair.
I will keep lying.
Of course I love you.
I'll always love you.
I want to spend eternity with you.
You just won't ever know,
I'd rather shoot myself in the face.

She gives him hope,
A glance,
A smile.
His heart begins to leap.
A chill begins to creep
Down his spine.
A smile that will not fade
Though she will not stay.
She gives him hope
Of unrequited love.

Love is a peril,
That much is true,
But love unreturned
Is more perilous too.
So my warning you heed,
Less peril indeed,
Be sure her love is true
Lest she hurt you too.

So simple,
So sweet,
So kind,
And so neat;
So pure
And so innocent;
So wicked
And so cruel;
I know no better way
To describe
I
Love
You

Is it the end of happiness
Or the end of the world?
I know which I would prefer.
Without you here
The world
Might as well
Be over.

What is love
But some lie
An illusion of the weak
A tie that binds
Not one to another,
But two legs together
Making walking impossible
Constraining who we are
What are we to be
With love
But fools lost
Better to have loved and lost
But what is love but loss

I can hear it,
Everywhere,
The buzz, the hum,
Power!
Coursing through everything:
Televisions,
Computer monitors,
Phones,
The huge cables twenty feet above me.
Energy, rushing through everything.
Our world driven by power,
Coursing through us.
Energy flowing,
Connecting,
Linking
Us all.
Energy,
Between you,
Between me.
I agree with goldy here. I really like the almost classical style. I think that's actually my favorite part. It just sounds so lovely and quotable. Especially the last line.
