Who Knew I Would Be So Poetic
by John Cole
I am writer I am me I am who I am I don’t give up on what I was meant to be Now it all makes sense to me I just want the world to see me for who I am Someone great I know I can inspire the world with my great poetry That’s something I desire Oh something I need I will keep continuing to write great things And some day I will be a famous writer You all will see Even when I’m long gone I’ll still be mentioned I’ll never die I’m immortal As you can see no longer confused I know my path & what I was meant to achieve! - John Cole

The Important Tree The important tree It stands tall as high as it can be It’s been among us for a million years no one would ever know Cause it only speaks to me It’s leaves are greener then anything you’ve ever seen It’s roots spread deep into the earth The bond is strong as it can be There’s knowledge that flows within it You just have listen close & pay attention to it It’s extraordinary It’s myth is true The important tree in that lives in mist amongst you

Faded I stay faded It's the only way to let my mind sleep So I can paint this picture I see bro it's so clear to me The vision I see My mind is rippin into two As I think of how it's gonna be The shit is unbelievable Only if you could see what I see I will rise like the lion from Lion King To be the greatest amongst the ones around me

I Wonder I wonder I wonder how did I become to be Like what's my purpose I just have to let my mind sleep.... But most people hide behind this image they perpetrate to be They’re scared of showing the real image of what they will be... I fear nothing I let my creativity & mind bring out who I mean to be It all makes sense to me I'm just a kid with a vision I want the whole world to understand what I see But they’re blinded by false things that's not important to me I see the truth I'm enlightened by the knowledge my dad passed to me I just wanna pass it to my kids in time when they come to be But I stand tall in this picture as you can see I'm not afraid to be who I am I'm proud to become of what I see

A Unfinished Story A boy who cry's & weeps lost on a dark road With no hope of what searching to be He walks & walks but nothing changes As you can see he's a drifter A kid who's lost & scared He just wants to find his way back home But how would he get there This is a sad story Something I won't be able to finish As I write this down Tears start to squeamish A story told but not finished

Every Time Why does he try? Why does he try? The kid who gets hurt every time The feeling of getting crushed every time Trying to be the good guy but he gets shut down every time The feeling is getting very old No need to be sweatin' over something that's not worth your time Just let it go, let it be The kid who walks alone Outcast to the emptiness, that's his only friend What a sad thing to know He just wishes for something more Not just to be lied to every time Oh what shame that is to go through every time Maybe one day he'll find happiness that will heal those worst times

Deceitful Eyes can be deceiving Don't be blinded by the cover up that's not the real person you’re seeing Why hide true beauty!? When you know it relies in you Why the cover up? I wanna see the real you Nowadays it's just all about cover up Deceiving... Deceiving... Why that cover up?

Day Dreamer I feel like I walked this earth for centuries.... Searching for this person I wanted to be when I grew up I always said I wanted to conquer great things Great things I said where in stored for me But it never came True as you can see But I can't let this failure get the best of me I will be a powerful leader someday You all will see My mind has expanded pass it's limits which my mentors said it never can I will always be a day dreamer The kid who lives in his head

Real Eyes Real eyes realize but cant seem to cut old ties Ain't it funny how we tend to stay in love with a lie? A mask, a fine charade, black dress and heels in disguise... Momma always reminded us that love is blind. Birds come and go, dont pay em no mind, They just give you the bigger picture when you’re searching next time...

God Speed This kid who has speed Travels faster then light Something like god speed But people see him as a outcast More like a freak But he's not one as you can see He breaks the sound Barrier like something you never seen It's incredible, the gift of God speed But he runs and runs & does all these great deeds Just to impress the world that still thinks less of him Why should that even be So he begins to run, traveling faster then he could think He vanishes Where could he be? I guess will never know the kid of god speed

A Premonition The kid who can see a premonition of a life that he does great things That some of the people didn't think he could achieve He was giving a vision of the answer that will solve everything He's been trying so hard to see It's been in front of him the whole time He just had to open his mind & believe how far will he go with this answer that was given to him in a dream I guess we never know but in the future will see

My Time Yeah, I just want more Yeah, I just more time to get it right It's only me as you can see I'm trying to get it right I put it all into my writings People are scared to tell the truth I'm just bringing my thoughts to light My words get to vicious sometimes Excuse me I just lose my patience at times Stop the debating I know I'm creative I'm thinking about the Change Yeah... A better life I'll work to get it some day It'll be mine I'm writing like I know I'm the greatest! But they'll tell you I'm not the realist And they'll spread lies It doesn't phase me Just know I'll get it right this year It's my time
