Psykotik D• Show poetry

I'm trying to become a songwriter (that's why I joined AllPoetry, to get feedback for my lyrics) but honestly, at heart, I'm a musician.

Been playing the piano (I don't CARE what you say about that. It's the best instrument ever. Period.   ...except for maybe the voice) for, I wanna say... 7 years? Something like that.

Truthfully, I've been taking classical lessons for that long, and only two years ago started doing stuff I wanted.

And about a year ago, I started singing, which evolved into a passion that I think I enjoy even more than piano.

Some people say I'm great, but I'm not gonna be conceited (honestly, sometimes I'm so full of myself...) I think I'm pretty good, but nothing special. I only know I love it.

Started with Evanescence (Amy Lee is the GODS), and I know some of The Fray (who are absolutely kick ass), and, just listing, I can play:

Drops of Jupiter (Train)

Angel (Sarah Mclachlan)

Imagine (John Lennon)

How to Save a Life (The Fray)

My Immortal (Evanescence)

Hello (Evanescence)

Good Enough (Evanescence)

Piano Man (Billy Joel)

She Will Be Loved (Maroon 5)

100 Years (Five for Fighting)

Walking in Memphis (Marc Cohn)

You Raise Me Up (Josh Groban)

I Don't Know Why (Norah Jones)

Listen to Your Heart (DHT)

...that's all I can think of right now. This list will become more populated...

oh, and I know a whole mess of instrumental stuff... you know, from my lessons. I like that stuff, too, usually. 

Right now, I'm currently learning:

Superman (Five for Fighting)

Unwell (Matchbox 20)

Everything's Not Lost (Coldplay)

Little House (The Fray)

You Found Me (The Fray) 

... and, obviously, this list, too, will become more populated.

If you have any recommendations, tell me.

I'm trying to join a band with me as vocalist. And probably keyboardist.

I frequently listen to:

Coldplay

Evanescence

Five for Fighting

The Fray (right now, #1)

Goo Goo Dolls

Kamelot

Linkin Park

Maroon 5

Matchbox Twenty

My Chemical Romance

Nickelback

Saosin

Secondhand Serenade

Switchfoot

Three Days Grace

Trans-Siberian Orchestra

Weird Al Yankovich (just because... honestly, thats some funny stuff)

Within Temptation

There are a bunch of random songs by others, too, but those are the groups I albumize (<-- made-up word).

I NEED to get me a digital camera, or webcam or SOMETHING and get me up on the web. And when I do you can be sure there will be a link here.

Music is huge in my life. But it's hard when you're going it alone. Seriously, I NEED to find me a band. Soon. REALLY soon. Or I might well go insane. ...wait, no... I already did that...

Extra stuff...

We're a Dying Breed

To every guy that's said, "Sex CAN wait"
To every guy that's said, "You're beautiful."
To every guy that was never too busy to drive across town to see her.
To every guy that gives flowers and a card when she is sick.
To every guy who has given her flowers just because.
To every guy that said he would die for her.
To every guy that really would.
To every guy that took time to do what she wanted to do.
To every guy that she cried in front of.
To every guy that holds hands with her.
To every guy that kisses her with meaning.
To every guy that hugs her when she's sad.
To every guy that hugs her for no reason at all.
To every guy who would give their jacket up for her.
To every guy that calls to make sure she got home safe.
To every guy that would sit and wait for her for hours
just to see her for ten minutes.
To every guy that would give his seat up.
To every guy that just wants to cuddle.
To every guy that reassured her that she was beautiful
no matter what.
To every guy who told his secrets to her.
To every guy that tried to show how much he cared
through every word and every breath.
To every guy that thought maybe this could be the one.
To every guy that believed in her dreams.
To every guy that would have done anything
so she could achieve them.
To every guy that never laughed at her
when she told him her dreams.
To every guy that walked her to her car.
To every guy that gave his heart.
To every guy who prays that she is happy
even if you are not with her.

HOMOPHOBIA IS WRONG!

I am the girl kicked out of her home because I confided in my mother that I am a lesbian.

I am the prostitute working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman.

I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights.

We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time.

I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room.

I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the two fathers who are the only loving family I have ever had. I wish they could adopt me.

I am one of the lucky ones, I guess. I survived the attack that left me in a coma for three weeks, and in another year I will probably be able to walk again.

I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear.

We are the couple who had the realtor hang up on us when she found out we wanted to rent a one-bedroom for two men.

I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me.

I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed, and raised. The court says I am an unfit mother because I now live with another woman.

I am the domestic-violence survivor who found the support system grow suddenly cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman.

I am the domestic-violence survivor who has no support system to turn to because I am male.

I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew up afraid to show affection to other men.

I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that.

I am the man who died when the paramedics stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual.

I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I didnt have to always deal with society hating me.

I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I don't believe, but because they closed their doors to my kind.

I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most, love.

OBITUARY OF THE LATE MR. COMMON SENSE

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years.

No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape.

He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:

Knowing when to come in out of the rain; Why the early bird gets the worm; Life isn't always fair; and Maybe it was my fault.

Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge). His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding and unruly student, only worsened his condition.

Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children. It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer Tylenol, sun lotion or a band-aid to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.

Common Sense lost the will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband; churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims. Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault.

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.

Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents, Truth and Trust; his wife, Discretion; his daughter, Responsibility; and his son, Reason. He is survived by his 3 stepbrothers; I Know My Rights, Someone Else Is To Blame, and I'm A Victim.

Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone. If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing
