Harry Is A Poet

This is dedicated to anyone who's every found themselves apologising for no less a mortal sin than just being themself Let me just start off by saying you all *the* most spectacular fantastic amazing interesting and intriguing *person*, that I have ever seen. I realise that this might sound a little extreme, so let me take a step back to explain what I mean. See I guess I'm a passionate guy, But I...

Any fool, or any dunce Can, if they try, make the world stop once. To make the world see them, to make the world know That this fella right here is a guy who's gonna grow It's not too hard, doesn't require too much invention To make the world make you the centre of attention Make it acknowledge that, hey, you exist Isn't that nice, now wont you be missed? Only, if you've stopped the world, it's a...

Just to say, I'm not your typical run of the mill human being I'm not like that standard model you see walking around I'm fully equipped with genuine thought 'n' feeling With all the latest gadgets that can be found Look, I can work through maths with 101% accuracy I can draw art, and I'll only have to start over twice I can feign culture and pretend to be classy And, if for some reason you desire...

So, it's my birthday. I've survived another year. And I did it my way. And yes I'm still here. I've clung on for life for another orbit of the sun I've survived much strife but now this year is done One more to add to my ever building total Kind of sad, the year is just a number after all... But in that year that adds just one to my age While I've dwelled here still on life's stage I've acted my p...

The first time I cried, and realised I wasn't ashamed Was the first time I realised that I had cried as a man. When I decided to accept responsibility when I was blamed I realised that I was finally mistress maturity's fan We were never told about this growing up The difficult parts about becoming an adult That it doesn't come at one time, a head's up But a collection of slow and uncertain results...

It's happened. Again. It feels kind of insane How often it's said That I'm in over my head Everything is rushing I'm embarrassed and blushing Because I should understand But I'm really not the wanted man Let me step back and explain I went to shot the moon but hit a plane I aimed way too high, and fell on my ass I wanted to graduate when I needed to stay in class Learning to reign myself in is not...

It takes a lot of courage to stand up to our enemies, But a great deal more to stand up to your friends. In fact, courage comes in many places But it follows no patterns or trends. Courage can be exactly what you'd expect. Some show it by great acts of heroics Which have an obvious cause and effect Which are all very lovely and quite poetic But who doesn't love a challenge ay? So I'm taking quite...

When I was younger, I was a little scared of books. They were all terribly impressive after all. They contained worlds I could never understand. Words I could never hope to comprehend. Books were almost a symbol of adulthood in their way. A tangible path to maturity, They were powerful. Very powerful. I learnt about books leading men to war. Growing up a Christian I was taught about one very power...

I know why I'm stuck down here But I'm still occasionally the one who gets scared Cause I'm constantly plagued by a single fear It's unheard of, as a demon who dreams of nightmares See I threw in my hand, way back many days I had my reasons for my choices, I was mad I gave in to Lucifer's temptations in a daze But that was so long ago when I was barely a lad And now I'm stuck here. Paying back my...

Hey man! Hi. Whats up? Not much. How're you? How am I? Well. That's kinda difficult. See, I'd describe myself as kinda complex. A little bit unusual, y'know? Saying how I am is gonna take a little bit longer than you might think. I've been thinking a lot about a lot of things in a lot of ways So you might want to settle down and grab yourself a drink I'm feeling kinda amazing. I'm luckier than mos...

This was a poem written when I first share my poetry blog to all of my facebook friends. 8 year later, the fact some people are still reading my words is amazing. I hope you've enjoyed it, and I'm still just as thankful.  *** So, it's started to happen slowly, That among the 1000+ people who are friends on facebook The 1% of you who've seen me link (or maybe 2%) Who've thrown caution to the w...

You kinda have to be an artist to understand. That behind each masterpiece of art lies work unseen. That thousands of brushstrokes went into building the technique That many paintings were discarded in the pursuit of perfection Into the muscles mastering the precise control and co-ordination Into having the patience to repeat, over and over, for every flaw That which is before you is the sum of fa...

I've always been told, "Why can't you just stop for a second and smell the roses? Can't you see how pretty it is? Feel how soft it's petals are? How the thorns give pungent imagery about the intertwined nature of beauty and danger? Just stop and appreciate the rose." It might just be me, But I'm far more interested in the bit of graffiti Etched imprecisely on a tree Saying SW loves JD In the sligh...

It's quite odd that we view not caring about something as cool I don't know why, but I had this feeling all the way through school That it was wrong to have any greater goal and mission That the greatest sin was the pride of ambition Cynicism is king, scepticism the jester That the worst person is the one who invests their Time trying to be an active go-getter Making fun of anyone trying to get be...

I'm an asthmatic. Sometimes, I really struggle for breath. And I have to stay calm. Can't be mad or fanatic That way, I walk to close to death To very dangerous harm. You treasure seconds You store them up for later use Life is more real The struggle beckons As you try to reach a truce So you can still feel And then suddenly life is back to its normal pace You're hustling about again, forgetting t...

I don't know why, but sometimes, I'm scared of being replaced. And I'm scared that replacement will be able to do everything I can That if one day I was just suddenly erased My replacement could just be the clockwork man That my day to day becomes too predictable That the way I walk and talk can be replicated That each day is merely average and typical With the life that fate has seen me designate...

I had one of those rarest moments today It was clarity, like a single word in ink A moment of great rareness and sparsity A moment where I could actually think The feeling was enlightening A release from my usual entrapment Yet also, oh so frightening At the brevity of this enlightenment I could do anything, if this feeling would only last Understand any problem, solutions would surround me My min...

In this world of Monsters, We're either charlatans or freaks The charlatans, they try their hardest To be seen as neither 'weird' nor 'unique' The hide every imperfection Every blemish that they perceive Then sell their vision to us And it's that vision we receive That this world is not of monsters You're clearly not trying hard This world is one of perfect beings Who are never spotty or scarred C...

Ok, I'm about to speak about something To which every reader can certainly relate I'm talking about when you're talking And plough straight on, and don't hesitate Oops, see? You've done it now You've said something awkward, It's been said and you know exactly how And you know you can't just leave it and move onward. No. From now, you will spend countless hours thinking about what you just said It'...

I was there on that most beautiful and fantastic of dates A summation of two such painful and intertwined fates Despite efforts to separate, the decided it was far easier to join As two opposing sides realised they made the same coin It was the ceremonial joining of Science and Art An emotional time for the brain and the heart Both simply trying to comprehend to world in which we dwell Both had ca...

The paths you've taken are yours and yours alone These paths define your current personality and tone And lead you to where you are right now Now while you can never take the same path twice To revisit where you once trod is my advice Find a way to do it somehow For a man who's forgotten from where he came Does so only to his utmost shame For he's lost touch with his past So I'd encourage you all...

It's not to hard to find the pressure against you Feel it building up and becoming immense too These pascals are building up high Units increasing not passing by It's quite tough. And it comes from strange places People demanding you pull out a hand of aces Or pushing you way past your comfort zone Taking about things in distasteful tone You've got to wear these clothes, think this way You've got...

I sometimes wonder what first impression I give What criteria people judge me with How I'm perceived, and how much the impression sticks How long an impression takes to break, how many clock hand ticks. I don't care about my appearance much, but it's more than I used to I find rigorous styling too much hassle to go through But I still care more than I might like to admit So I'm curious as to what...

Dear Sir, you've been nothing but obnoxious all evening And normally, naturally, I'd just be enquiring as to the time of your leaving But this time I feel special discipline must be enforced Why are you raising your fists? Ah, you're not cultured, of course. Forgive my ignorance of one so uncouth I'll be generous and put it down to the frivolities of youth No, dear Sir, when we battle, we battles...

I've never needed to artificially produce a high Never really done drugs, let me tell you why Life is so thrilling and fantastic as it is I don't need to do anything drastic for a fizz To some people this is alienating It's just uncool and a bit frustrating People ask why "How can you not do {insert drug here}" I'd reply but there's no answer they want to hear I'm a bit scared of becomin...
