This is just a place for me to exhibit my poetic prowess. They're in spoilers because I thought it would be easier to read them like that. Can't have a cluttered post, now can we?
I'll add more as I make more.

My Best Friend
I recall when we would run through the bay
As if we had the strength of twenty men
But then, when I saw him walking away
I knew I would never see him again
As he walked away, I just stood right there
I turned so I don’t have to see him leave
Though I didn’t look, I was well aware
Did he look back or did he just believe
That I will be fine just watching him go
That I’ll feel nothing watching him depart
Or did he know how I felt? Did he know
That all things will change now that we’re apart?
Though you are gone, our bond will never end
I will never forget you – my best friend

The Calling Sea
The calm serene sea
It’s calling my name
If I don’t go now
It won’t ever be the same
It always changes
From day to day
The beautiful sea may turn
To a torrent of rain
It changes with time
At a very fast rate
I must go now
Before it’s too late
Now as I go
This, I must tell you
The same sea that calls me
May soon call you too
The calm serene sea

The Storm
As lightning flashes, thunder will roll
Instilling fear into your soul
Keeping calm will take its toll
But it will make a difference
The storm has come. What will you do
When its full force comes for you?
Will you take it? Will you go through?
Or will you run in terror?
When winds blow, nothing won’t shake
When lightning strikes, the ground will quake
No one knows how much they can take
But with faith, they go through
When the storm has reached its end
The souls have braved the rain and wind
Though a path of destruction, the storm did rend
The people are safe once more.

My Last Breath
Here I am, my final hour
My life was full of sweet and sour
Though memories cannot hold me back
I reflect on what I’ve gained or lacked
Live your life, as I’ve my own
Lest it may not end with a pitiful moan
I say these words, my last breath past
I go into the light. Free at last
Here I am, my final hour
My life was full of sweet and sour
Though memories cannot hold me back
I reflect on what I’ve gained or lacked
Live your life, as I’ve my own
Lest it may not end with a pitiful moan

I go into the light. Free at last
My Favorite Time of Day
My favorite time of day
Has to be the time
When the afternoon should say
“I am running out of time”
When day yields to night
And dawn is nowhere near
The sun will take its flight
And silence, I will hear
The stars will twinkle soon
The moon will beat full force
Snoring comes from the next room
My mother is the source
And now I lay my head
Right down so I can sleep
And then I pray to the Lord my God
My soul that He will keep
My family had been teaching me
About this short, sweet prayer
While we’re underneath the sunset where
I’m safe in its warm care
So, my favorite time of day?
Especially in the fall
The sunset leading into night
Is my favorite time of all
My favorite time of day
Has to be the time
When the afternoon should say
“I am running out of time”
When day yields to night
And dawn is nowhere near
The sun will take its flight
And silence, I will hear
The stars will twinkle soon
The moon will beat full force
Snoring comes from the next room
My mother is the source
And now I lay my head
Right down so I can sleep
And then I pray to the Lord my God
My soul that He will keep
My family had been teaching me
About this short, sweet prayer
While we’re underneath the sunset where
I’m safe in its warm care
So, my favorite time of day?
Especially in the fall
The sunset leading into night
Is my favorite time of all
