	Bitter, caffeinated drinks,<br />
	You’re pretending to love pouring it,<br />
	Waking from eyeing dark drinks,<br />
	Darkened eyes from awaking.<br />
	It’s poured love - to pretenders,<br />
	You’re drinking caffeinated bitterness.<br />
	 
</p>

<p>
	Risky choices. Death the punishment
</p>

<p>
	Deserving, not doing, wondrous things
</p>

<p>
	Wonder does not deserve punishment
</p>

<p>
	The dead choose risks.

	Documenting history is important,<br />
	We cannot repeat mistakes.<br />
	If we don’t remember, it will happen again and again.<br />
	War, slavery, lies, wooden stakes.<br />
	Wooden lies, enslaved war, again and again.<br />
	Happenings, will it remember?<br />
	Don’t we?<br />
	If mistakes repeat, can’t we?<br />
	Important is historical documentation.<br />
	 
</p>

<p>
	Untitled. Blank. Unknown.<br />
	We don’t label things we don’t care about.<br />
	We shrug it off, for it doesn’t matter. <br />
	Doesn’t it? For off, it shrugs us about.<br />
	Caring, not doing, we’re things labeled.<br />
	Don’t we?<br />
	Unknown, Blank, Untitled.
</p>

<p>
	<br />
	It isn’t fire, it isn’t storm,<br />
	No sharp, dramatic break.<br />
	Just static where it once was warm,<br />
	A dull and silent ache.<br />
	Your ghost is just a sigh,<br />
	A blank spot of the room,<br />
	No tears to offer, no more why,<br />
	Just gray, quiet doom.<br />
	Love was a loud and frantic song,<br />
	But this is better, so I say:<br />
	The peace of knowing you are gone,<br />
	And feeling nothing every day.<br />
	Everything, nothing, feelings.<br />
	And gone are you.<br />
	Knowledge of peace, <br />
	That said, I’m so better<br />
	Is this but singing frantically?<br />
	And “loud” was a lovely doom.<br />
	Quiet, gray, justified.<br />
	Why? <br />
	Moreover, no offerings,<br />
	To tears, no room.<br />
	That of spotless, blankness.<br />
	A sigh, a justification is ghost yours.<br />
	Aching silently and dully.<br />
	A warmth was once.<br />
	It’s where static just broke.<br />
	Dramatic, sharp nothings.<br />
	Storms: isn’t it<br />
	Fire: isn’t it. 
</p>

<p>
	People have feelings<br />
	Passion, anticipation, happiness<br />
	We all have emotions.<br />
	They define us.<br />
	Truly owned by who?<br />
	The feeler.<br />
	But is it?<br />
	No.<br />
	It is but the feeler who’s owned by true emotions.<br />
	We’re defined.<br />
	They have all our happiness.<br />
	Anticipating passionately.<br />
	Feelings have people.
</p>

<p>
	Push yourself. <br />
	Feeling tired?<br />
	Continue; you will get there.<br />
	Almost there.<br />
	Only success comes to those for trying<br />
	For awards will come.<br />
	I promise.<br />
	I come willingly.<br />
	Awards for trying, for those to come.<br />
	Success only there.<br />
	Almost there.<br />
	Go, will yourself.<br />
	Continue, tired.<br />
	Feel yourself push.
</p>

<p>
	You see them above, rising more.<br />
	You envy.<br />
	Then they show flaws, flawlessly exploited by you.<br />
	Elated, you now rise.<br />
	Now you.<br />
	Elated you, by exploitation flawlessly.<br />
	Flaws shown.<br />
	They then envy your aboveness more.<br />
	Rise, they see you.
</p>
