Grown Up Woes by Cody Metcalf When I was younger I had no label I was happy as a lark I was able But now times are rough and the road is dark I try hard to make it through just one day Things aren't the same Mama was wrong, things aren't okay I don't know who to blame It comes to the end and I have lost it all I am bare with no friend On the edge, about to fall At age three I saw the perfect life Full of laughter, love, and joy With a wonderful daughter and wife Not an agitated employee Maybe I will make me three year old wishes come true Put my past behind me And perhaps make it through.

Again by Shinta Kaeruchan Time: 4:30 AM Sunday, 2/23/03 Invulnerable, That is what I am. Got nothing to lose. T'wasn't part of the plan. Life promises Nothing but death and this emptiness. You try and stop me, Your hate will only feed me, And the void that's in my soul, Which reminds me I can never be whole...
Realization by Cody Metcalf Beautiful pictures run through my mind I try to paint them But it's hard when the mind is blind It's merely a black and white silhouette In my mind it all sounds so perfect Every word to the point Ending any argument But on paper it doesn't look that way I just can't seem to find the words to say Confusion clouds my head It seems to pour in like water It floods my brain like the effect of a crumbling dam Everything is falling apart But at the same time..... It's coming together....
Picture by Shinta Kaeruchan Time: B2 ( 10-11:30 AM ) Friday, 2/21/03 This pictures means a thousand words. I look at it, and everytime, it hurts. I only miss you, this time, worse. When things went wrong, you were always there, From great moments to those in despair. You put me down but mean good intentions. The pain we've harnessed, we shall not mention. Toghether, lasting through thick and thin... We're not that close, don't try to pry within... As for this poem, it has to come to an end. I just wanna tell you, you'll be remembered as my friend. I'll never forget you, And our friendship, so true. The risk I've taken... The dive I took... The past shall not have been forsaken, But written in my book. The dive I took... The risk i've taken... Gave me passage into a fairytale book. The pain endured, shall not have been in vain, forsaken. But things change... Hearts get broken... This was the path... You and I had chosen... When it's time to go, I don't want to leave... Don't want to say those goodbyes, It's you that I need. Relationships, they end and start... We live, and learn, And into my broken heart, This picture, I burn...
My Own World by Cody Metcalf Taking a look around the room Just guess what I see. All these people I know And not one of them talking to me They all seem so cheery No One is sad What have I done wrong? For some reason I feel like I've done something bad. We all used to be good friends But they've replaced me with each other. They all have someone else THey all have another Sometimes I feel like I'm in a world by myself. with no feelings being shared. No love No Care On those days I wore a fake smile Did you really think it was real? If you felt my emptiness Would you want your problems revealed?
Getting By by Cody Metcalf I'm trying to change this world But it's harder than I thought There are so many fierce battles That I've never even fought. The poor are getting poorer and the rich run out of cash Terrorism is abundant And the stock market just crashed The president's in a scandal And there are suicide bombings every day People are losing hope But what do I say? When I step in to help I'm called a fool Because I don't socialize, do drugs, or have sex some kids say I'm uncool I've made it this far Because her spirit lives within me And my world will soon shine Because she's helped me.
