Can You Accept Me?:
I'll admit I've done my share of things
Of which I know I can never be proud
And I've tried my best to be a better man;
But I guess I can't right now
The mistakes I've made are pretty clear to me
It's not like I can just wipe a 'tat'
The symbols that go all around my body;
And the numbers on my back...
They're all reminders of who I used to be
What I used to do and how I used to live
But that man just isn't me anymore;
And I need a chance that only you can give
I guess what I really want to say is that:
I'm trying my hardest to change for better
And I need to know that you can forgive me
And so I'm sending you this letter
If it gets to you, then let me know
Reply to me and tell me clear
Can we still be a family?
Can I hope to have you near?
We've been through hell and I know I've done wrong
I never should have stayed just an angry kid
And now that we have one of our own;
I think I know that I need to quit
So please just give me a second chance
Just one more shot to be a real dad
I hope you can give me another try
And let me wash away my bad...

What's Not Being Said
I heard you sigh
but at the time
I didn't say a word;
I saw you cry
but didn't know
your voice was so unheard.
I felt you break
but truly thought
I shouldn't be around;
For my own sake
I should have fought
to keep your feelings sound.
Please, listen to what's not being said.

She Believed
I stumble through my mind,
Weakened by the pain of years.
I always search but cannot find
The source of all my bitter tears.
I see a light, an anchor, a hope;
I limp faster, relieved by the sight.
I found a gentle, downward slope
Like a rescue from a blight.
I lean on you, no longer afraid;
Finally I have found relief.
Tears dry, memories fade,
Like wind carries a wilted leaf.
But in the end, it wasn't true
You held my heart yet let it die.
My anchor became my noose;
My trust was blinded to your lie.
How could I be so ignorant?
You pledged to never leave my side.
There's none to blame but myself

Literature
I'm Here for You
What do you expect me to say
When you keep pushing me away?
RememberI can't read your mind,
And time cannot rewind.
Regret will only make it worse
Like a bad omen from a curse.
This will surely make you stronger;
Please just hold on longer.
I'll be here, right by your side;
You don't have to run and hide.
Just try to find the silver lining
The sun will keep on shining.
Never forget that this is true:
I am here for you.

Third Release for Random Week, Final Release tomorrow.
I believe that I really struggled with the idea of romance before, because I always thought of it in a very linear way. Boy x Girl
But if you take one step to go beyond that and think about what romance is at its core. It's really just about that feeling of love and joy in being with another person. They may not be perfect, but you do love them very much.
Hence, I wanted to put a little bit of a street spin on it. I didn't want it to be a perfect disney land prince loves princess kind of thing. Nah, I wanted it to feel real. To me, the streets were always real and so I decided to bring out this piece instead. While its common to see poems about 'This is how much I love him/her'. That's boring and paper cut, there are thousands like that out there. I wanted to do something a little different.
Now, me personally I should probably say that I've never been involved with gangs or anything like that, but I do have friends who were and I remember how we lost contact and all the stuff that they went through so I tried to put some of that in tonight's piece.
As far as romance goes, it's a start and I'm glad to finally be making headway on becoming a master Word Bender.
