Save someone

One the edge of something great

But also one mistake away 

From breaking my own dreams

No matter how much they may gleam.

I've watched from afar,

My whole life and

I know you and

I know you have all this strife.

I see you crying in the corner

Clenching your fist in halls

Writing a list 

To save others from the fall.

You're on the ledge, 

Metaphorically or not,

But please listen to my plea.

I promise,

 just take a step back,

 and 

I'll try to do my best

To make this world a better place. 

Just take my hand, 

Sisters and Brothers

I need you now 

TO STEP BACK 

And listen to the crowd. 

You can hear their begging

The mother with a mortgage

The boy with a grudge

The girl with a broken mirror

The dad with 2 jobs and too little options.

So please, i'm begging you 

Maybe spend some time with me in this pew.

Maybe get off the hate pages 

and step into this light

Many care about you.

Me, including so,

but if you don't heed this word 

you'll never know

You want to be free?

Of pain and gloom?

It's right here; in this very room

So come with me

We'll carry them through this,

and silence their cries.

I don't care if i'm lost

I need not fear death

Don't need no will

Because my children will inherit this Earth.

Call me a dreamer

A guy with a big head 

Lost in the clouds.

My poems may not rhyme  

All the time

But I try to speak the truth

So i'll write until the deaf and the ignorant hear

The old men and the blind see

The shy and the mute speak

And the brainwashed and dumb think.

I'll make it as best as I can;

Starting right now 

I''m breaking outta this pound 

I'll bring you with me and set us both free

And just maybe, maybe

We'll throw these chains that you've become used to

off 

and then maybe we won't have to hear those sick cough. 

I want to be free, but the price is not in our hands

Please tell me you understand.

The wind is picking up;

I'm drawing too much attention

So please sign this petition.

You're seeking God 

To find he's in another castle

And give up because you won't do battle.

I want the rich to work hard

And the poor to be fed.

The warriors to be humbled 

And the pacifists to fight this strife.

All I want is for you to see

All of this world's beauty

I'll ask you again, only one more time,

Do you understand?

That freedom isn't cheap and does not come easy.

I'm willing to fight, 

In fact I've already taken up arms

So take my hand, O fellow love.

You see, i'm a hopeless romantic

A Unemployed Philosopher

A broken fortune teller

A Knight with too many dragons.

I''m messed up;

just like you

I've broken my own heart just the same.

So please, I beg of you

Please spare this earth and 

Life just might spare you...

Thanks Grey!
Pro-tip: I almost always write at insanely late hours after i'm totally exhausted; it really helps. Trust me ha ha.
