I finally did it, just for you
I am now the drum major
I told you a long time ago
I would make it my goal
For you, I promised to you
I worked hard for it today
And it started yesterday
When I told you I will try
I tried as hard as I could
It was worth it in the end
I promised I would, I did
You do not even remember
You dreamed section leader
Then to become drum major
You made it to section leader
And I don't know anything now
Drum major was my promise
I held up my end, you did half
Will you complete your journey?
Will you keep your promise to me?
Because I kept my promise to you
Next season, I'm dedicating to you
And my promise to you one night
A drum major is basically the head of the marching band (besides the teacher/director) and I made it my promise to Sarah I would get it, and I did. Sorry for not posting in quite a while, I've been busy with band

There is one word today
That can destroy my day
I try to avoid it in any way
But it has something to say
It reminds me of good times
When I once had good rhymes
I lived life outside the lines
And lived freely without fines
It can make a good day bad
I go from a happy to a sad
I can enter a weekend glad
And leave it all just as mad
It seems to have ruined me
I can't think it without misery
I can't say it to remain free
And I will die of it, you'll see
That one word that will end me
Is just a simple five letter word
Two simple syllables we all know
And the effect on my life is absurd
That one word happens to be a name
A name that I once used to adore
But now it seems to ruin all I do
As I lose everything that's in store
Sarah, Sarah, Sarah, Sarah, Sarah
The name constantly echoes in my head
And seems to continue until I am dead
Sarah...

I truly wish I had one today
Someone to hold and care
Show affection in any way
Even when I am not there
She's beautiful like Hawaii
And sweet like a sugarcane
She's always right beside me
Through the sun and the rain
I wish I had at this very time
To be able to rant to at night
About nothing we can define
Just something in our sight
We can work together as one
We laugh together at nothing
We will always find some fun  
We cry together in mourning
But as of now, it's not there
My care is aside for later use
It is now just painful and unfair
After I've faced all this abuse
More typical kind of work compared to my last one. So if you didn't like my last one, maybe you'll like this one

Fresh out of the womb, is a newborn baby seeing this cruel world for the first time. His loving parents cry tears of joy at this new light in their life. After a few years, his parents have twin girls, and all attention is off of him then. He sits in his room alone all day like he's in detention. He goes to school and is the one quiet kid that seems so insecure to others. He wishes to make new friends but he's afraid of the others. He finally makes one good friend in middle school, but then he had to move away from his one and only friend to the other side of the country. He is once again, that lonely kid in the corner throughout all of middle and high school. At the age of 17, just a few days before his 18th birthday, he comes home and sees his mother face down on the kitchen floor. He is unsure of what to do, so he calls his father, crying while he caresses his mothers heavy head. He remains on the phone with his dad, and he hears a loud screech in the background, a bang, and then silence. He tries calling back and no answer. He calls 911 and when they get there, they confirm his mother died of a heart attack. His father however, he is unsure of what happened. He watches the news that night, and sees the breaking news about a multi-car accident that resulted in the death of 4 people, one of which is his father. He's heartbroken now. He is unsure of how he will live. He finishes school, works a full 40 hour week, and is a single man living in a small apartment in the city. One day, this beautiful young women moves into the room next door. He instantly falls in love. He takes her out to the bar a few times, and then she suddenly disappears. A few nights after he last saw her, he sees on the news about a young women who died of a drug overdose. It was the women he once thought he loved. He decides to remain single throughout the rest of his life. At age 85, he realized he had no one left. His parents have been dead for almost 70 years, he is unsure how his twin sisters are doing because he hasn't talked to them in over 50 years. He was last with a woman over 50 years ago. He then passes away at the age of 91 due to just old age. No one attends his funeral. No one even realizes he's gone. His lonely soul is now gone from this Earth, and not one human being realizes it. All because of a lonely childhood and unfortunate luck, this beautiful young boy had a loving family but died with no one left to care.
Not my usual style, but a little story I have. To be honest, I wrote it in only 10 minutes so it could have some issues with it but it's fine.

Through the entirety of the day
I dream randomly about things
Sometimes they're great or grey
It can be death or a bird that sings
I dream during the day quite often
As I have new ideas pop into mind
I often will resist the urge to listen
As I wish to leave something behind
I day dream about a girl I once knew
Her luscious hair flowing in the wind
And her big brown eyes staring at me
I think these are real and will never end
But my feelings are propped onto a tee
I just want to cry whenever I think of her
How she impacted my life so greatly then
But she's happier now than we ever were
I'm stuck day dreaming about her now
I wish I could ease this agonizing pain
Now, there is surely nothing left to gain
These feelings were quite easy to obtain
But now I can't lose them as I go insane

It's just plain and simple
I have a whole lot of issues
Showing off a fake dimple
To hide the need of tissues
I am always living in the past
I can't forget the memories
I know they won't be the last
But I just can't forget these
I have to just move forward
But I can not do that today
I continue to move backward
I can't fix anything in any way
I'm currently an absolute wreck
Life is like poker, luck and skill
I feel as if I had an unlucky deck
And I won't quit until I get a ****
I will get through these issues
I am confident in my abilities
It will take time I won't misuse
I'll use it wisely to find the keys
I must unlock happiness in me
Unlock it to set my issues free

I feel my chest getting heavy
Like an elephant taking a break
I'm beginning to feel needy
Of finding a girl for my sake
I'm feeling lonely every day
I honestly like someone now
I can't do anything in any way
Because I do not know how
I fear heartbreak once more
I don't want that pain again
Someone I'm starting to adore
And I seem to be going insane
My heart pounds like a drum
My head spins a crazy amount
Like I drank a few bottles of ***
Until I have the guts to ask her out
But I just can't do it anytime soon
Because I'm afraid of one afternoon
That may haunt my life forever
And I can't reach this endeavor
Title from my friend Stacy so credit given to her.
