Nathan Schneider Poems

I hate that smile I have
That fake one when I lie
It tears me up and lets me down
I’m just digging a bigger hole for myself
...

It’s only killing us and costing us to much
There’s no benefits only body bags and torn tissue
Hearts are thrown out the window and made obsolete
Sense and sanity are causalities to it
...

There’s a place in your head
It’s were all your thoughts that don’t work
To crazy to make sense, roaming looking for reason
To different at the time or just not right
...

It’s the most complicated thing ever known
He goes on without sense of bearing of what is
Or what could become of his life
In fact he doesn’t know what has become of his life
...

As I’m skating down the sidewalk
Listening to my own skateboard
As it click clacks the lines in the sidewalk
I’m rolling through the city, through the night air
...

Life is not meant to be waited on
It’s meant to be taken advantage of
It’s a gift that shouldn’t be wasted or thrown away
Every breath we take is a display of a miracle happening
...

Like skyscrapers loom in the sky
My goals tower above me, dead eye staring at me
The pressure is ridiculous and I’m sick of it
These lofty goals are ruining me and I can’t reach them
...

Everything goes by so quick
There’s no stopping and no looking back
If you stay back your left in the dust, pondering
Surroundings speed by in a flash, breaking the barrier of sound
...

I saw her while I walked down the hallways
She seemed different from the other girls
No care in the world, a get lucky kind of girl
Like everything just glanced off her shoulders
...

On a desolate street named broken
One lone kid walks around lookin for a challenge
No one knows about him just some nobody they say
They all say he won’t last but the kid knows otherwise
...
