The Game of Spider and Fly

I found your picture the other day,
Your face made my heart melt away.
You never seem cross my mind,
Until I stumble upon some find.
I never notice your pull until it’s too late.
Even though you’re gone you’ve sealed my fate.
Like a fly caught up in a spider’s web,
You spun your strands and wrote my end.
You sucked me dry and threw away the shell,
Now I’m left to burn alone in this hell.
When it was all said and done,
You walked away and thought you won.
But looking back at it all from here,
The roles we played become so clear.
I needed you more than you needed me,
And I fed on your love, though weak as it be.
I danced to your tune not because I’m a slave.
I danced to your tune to get my own ways.
Like a fly caught up in a spider’s web,
I spun my strands and wrote your end.
I sucked you dry and then set your body free,
Letting you think you’re better off without me.
Realizing the truth about what we had,
You would think I would feel somewhat bad.
I drained every drop of you that I could,
Then let you escape while the timing was good.
Yet all I feel now is relief from the burden,
And comfort from the fact that you are now hurting.
With every hug we shared the webs were woven,
And every kiss I gave was filled with poison.
Cruelly I played my game of spider and fly,
Never knowing that my love for you was a lie.

Riddle Time #1: What am I?

I am formed by fire, flames from within
Then freezing temperatures, stiffen my stance
Assisting the apes, that dwell in wood and stone
Aroused from sleep, placed next to a pool
Lifted then lowered, into dark and deep
Lifted again, raised with rewards
Brought to my cave, to give up my gifts
This ritual repeated, again and again
Until the pool is empty
Return to rest, my job is done
Until the pool is full again
What am I?

Nice Guy

I know I’m not perfect, and I will confess.
Most of the time, my life is a mess.
I don’t have a great body. I’m not very strong.
And when faced with a question, sometimes I am wrong.
But there’s one thing I do have, that sets me apart.
The fact that I’ll love you, with all of my heart.
So when you’re…
Tired of the assholes, tired of the dicks.
Tired of the players, and all their damn tricks.
The day you look into the mirror. And hear yourself say,
“I just want a nice guy, to come take me away.”
I’ll be right where you left me, still looking for love.
Cuz to all the girls out there…I’m just not good enough.
I don’t have a lot of money, or any bit of fame.
And all the girls around me think that I’m lame.
But it’s me that is laughing at the end of the day.
While they live their fake lives, I go my own way.
That’s what makes me different. What makes me “uncool”.
The fact that I’m unique, and not just a tool.
So when you’re…
Tired of the assholes, tired of the dicks.
Tired of the players, and all their damn tricks.
Tired of the ganstas, who think they’re tough shit.
Tired of the rich snobs who don’t know when to quit.
The day you look into the mirror. And hear yourself say,
“I just want a nice guy, to come take me away.”
I’ll be right where you left me, still looking for love.
But all who passed by me, are shit out of luck.
If you think you’re too good, for a loser like me.
I’ll be too good for you, when you are in need.
I’ll find someone out there, who at first glance,
Sees that I am amazing, if just given a chance.
Someone who will love me, for all that I am:
Just an unlucky nice guy, doing what I can.
So when you’re…
Tired of the assholes, tired of the dicks.
Tired of the players, and all their damn tricks.
Tired of the ganstas, who think they’re tough shit.
Tired of the rich snobs who don’t know when to quit.
Tired of the pain, that comes from the beaters.
Tired of the bull shit, that comes from the cheaters.
The day you look into the mirror. And hear yourself say,
“I just want a nice guy, to come take me away.”
It’ll be too late to find me, I’ll already be gone.
And all you’ll have from me, is this little song.

Gemini

One body, two souls
Chasing after separate goals
Different motives all around
Build it up or burn it down
I’m a battlefield that’s been deserted
My young mind has been perverted
I was used from dusk to dawn
Useless now cuz they’re all gone
Good and evil, black and white
Used my body for their fight
Now they’re dead but I’m still here
Sanity is far from near
Stuck between I’ve seen it all
The instrument used for their brawl
Told to do so many things
I’ve lost my personality
I’m Gemini and here’s the truth
There’s two inside, I’m living proof
That for all the good there is within
There’s just as much that’s pushing for sin
I’m a battlefield that’s been deserted
Battered and broken I’m all alone
My young mind has been perverted
Far from good, to evil I’m prone
I was used from dusk to dawn
From morning to night, no end to their fight
Useless now cuz they’re all gone
Twisted perception, I see the truth
Stuck between I’ve seen it all
Death, destruction, loss, and pain
The instrument used for their brawl
And in the end I’ve nothing to gain
Told to do so many things
Owned by both, a puppet on strings
I’ve lost my personality
Empty and hallow, will my soul ever sing
The masters are gone, the beast is free
The question is now: Who will save me?

5 Ways I Make Myself Happy (That You Can Do, Too!)

Aahh, you gotta love those days where you wanna tear an arm off of your coworker and beat them to death with it. Those days when even hearing a baby's laughter can make you cry. Being depressed makes the sun turn off and the birds go mute. So here are some actions I have found that lift my spirits and make me love thy neighbors once more.

5. Smile
You might think it’s the happy that comes before the smile, but you are mistaken, my friend (kinda). I want you to smile. Right now. Feel anything? Keep doing it. Chances are, if you can maintain that smile, you will feel happier. Why? It’s probably some subconscious thing that does something with the chemicals in our brain. Or it could just be that the smile comes before the happy. Either way, your day will be a tad bit brighter if you start and end the day with a smile. The whole world just seems funnier and happier when you are smiling like a fool. So smile. Now doesn’t that just make you feel a little better?

4. Hug Something
So you’re having a rough day. The customers are extra-special, your boss is extra-boss like, or you just have a case of the frowns. Either way, nothing beats a good hug when you’re feeling blue. That feeling that you’re not alone. That feeling that somebody is there for you no matter what goes down. It just can’t be beat. But what if you don’t have anyone to hug, or the people around you are anti-hug? Well, just go find the closest inanimate object to hug. Objects never object to hugs. And remember, the softer the better! All the babies are doing it, so why can’t you?

3. Daydream
Stay with me on this one. A horrible day is basically created because reality sucks. No one is arguing that. The best way to combat reality is to ignore it. Go find some place you can just space out and commence the perfect situation. While this won’t actually help your predicament, it can give you a slight boost, and allow you to cool off a bit. Cause it’s hard to be angry when anything you want is at your fingertips, and all those people that brought you down can be punished in any way your sick little mind can conceive. You want the perfect job? Done. You want to be a rock star putting on the best damn concert ever? Go for it. You want super powers? Have fun, just don’t try to fly when you snap back to reality.

2. Sing and Dance
While it’s true you might be more inclined to do this when you’re already happy, that doesn’t mean it won’t help you become happy. Go ahead and try to be angry while dancing around the room to your favorite music. It’s a lot tougher than you think. And if you don’t listen to music that can be danced to, then go find some that you can deal with. Listen to it enough, and soon you’ll love it just as much as your screamo-death metal. Dancing around gets your body moving, and takes your mind off of whatever it is that depressed you in the first place. Singing along to the music also helps if you are somewhere like a car and can’t get up and dance. Just listening to music is another option, but if you want the full effect, you will have to at least tap your foot or finger drum. Air guitars are optional but totally encouraged.

1. Laugh at Someone
As horrible as this sounds, I have never laughed at someone and found myself not in a better mood. It’s just human nature, hence why comedy has been popular since the first caveman tripped and fell on his face in front of his buddies. Nowadays, you don’t even need to sit outside waiting for some idiot to come along (although seeing it in person does add some value). The internet can deliver prime stupidity within seconds, and quicker laughs equals quicker happiness. So go ahead, laugh your ass off at someone else’s expense, because I guarantee you they will be doing it to make themselves feel better. Just make sure you can laugh at yourself, because at some point everyone else will be. Laughing at people is a vicious cycle, but it’s one that brings loads of laughs to brighten your day.

Forgot my Pen

Just had a wonderful thought but I forgot my pen
I’ll use my blood to write out what needs to be said
Would you like to hear the words of my life?
The words carved out of my bloodline?
Nobody likes the truth and there it stands
For all to see but none believe
So easy to hide in the lies
So easy to live in disguise
It’s not like me to disagree
But there’s the truth for you to see
I’m looking for the cure for monotony
Do you have it?
Can you give it?
The answer’s simple yet hard to say
Put it off until the problem goes away
Following a trend that compasses all
Dying like the blinded fools we are
Nobody likes the truth and there it stands
For all to see and some to believe
So easy to hide in the lies
So easy to live in disguise
It’s not like me to disagree
But there’s the truth and you should see
So make your mistakes and think you’re right
While some can’t sleep on through the night
Not sure where human ends and monster begins
But you’re playing a game that nobody wins
Nobody likes the truth and here it stands
For all to see and all to believe
So easy to hide in the lies
So easy to live in disguise
It’s not like me to disagree
But here’s the truth and you need to see

Riddle Time #2: What Am I?

There is a limited amount of me
But I can make an unlimited amount of products
I tell you everything
But never speak a word
I am known across the world
And I have a few relatives
Yet whenever people see me
They only see my products
My very existence depends
On those who use and understand me
You might think I am a word or a language
But you only recognize them because of me
What am I?
