A/N: I finished writing this about five minutes ago, lol. It's actually a song, but I figured it would fit as a poem as well.
This poem/song was inspired by two things: 1) A few of my favorite anime couples, namely Ed x Winry from Fullmetal Alchemist and Hoshino x Tanabe from Planetes (AWESOME series). And 2) while my dad was in Iraq, he heard "My Immortal" for the first time and said he loved the idea behind it...but it was too sad/depressing because "the chorus was in past tense instead of present tense." So he asked me if maybe I could take the same concept and do my own thing with it. I guess this is it. XD
I wasn't really trying to write anything particularly deep or angsty or meaningful; the words just sorta popped out. So...yeah, sorry if it's not my best. Hope you enjoy this. :)
Let Me Save You
How many times do I have to knock
Some sense into you?
How long are you going to bear
A load too heavy for you?
'Cause every ship needs a harbor
And even heroes need saving
And you're no exception
I'm here to wipe away the tears
You won't let others see
I'm here to listen to your fears
Secret though they be
So please, share your pain with me
It's okay to let it out and let it go
And if nothing else
I just want to let you know
That I'm here to be your strength
I'll let you cast out demons
If you'll let me chase away
All these ghosts that haunt your eyes
I'll let you battle the darkness
If you'll let me fight your nightmares
And sing you back to sleep
I'll let you slay the dragon
If you'll let me cut down the guilt inside you
I'll let you chase the horizon
If you'll come back to me when you get tired
I'll let you save the world
If you'll let me save you
I'm trying to break these walls down
I want to lead you out of this labyrinth
Please don't shut the world out
Let me in, just for a moment
I'm here for you and I've been here all along
You don't have to be so strong
Let me be the one to carry
The world for once
Go on and chase your dreams,
Fix your errors, fight your wars
I'll be here when you come back
Weary and battleworn
And like always, I'll repair the dents
Kiss the bruises, replace the broken parts
And maybe someday
Healing grace will finally reach your battered heart
And you'll know joy again
But for now
When your demons whisper
I'll chase them all away
And they won't dare haunt your eyes
And when you wake up screaming
I'll help you fight your nightmares
And sing you back to sleep
And while you slay the dragon
I'll try to cut down the guilt inside you
And as you chase the horizon
Remember to return when you get tired
I know you'll save the world
Just please let me save you

I'm setting here looking at a paused television screen and i soon think to myself is that the way that our life is life when we are put on hold.
If tht's the case then why are we not able to do the work that we have been meant to do forever,
how can the people in our lives trust us for the decisions that we make in our daily lives that we live.
are we really meant to be th people that we are meant to be or are we just passing through this earth with no-where to go but down, that is what i think about when i see a paused tv.
so what do you think about this journal entry that i just wrote you need to think about what i said and give me your best anwsers that you can give.
thnx erie morgan maples

Hate.Disappointment.Regret.They all make up some of the worst thing in our lives...then why can't we just give it up?Give it up and just throw all our problems away?The answer is simple because this,this is reality not a fairytale or some fiction story,where the writer can just have their way over their characters like puppets.No.Not at all in reality does one have their way to control their life or the lies that people tell them.There's no stopping your troubles in life or changing the regret you've made in the past ...it's life.
