Five Steps Forward (aka The You Lied Poem)
By David N. Donihue
And you lied when you said people are the same all over
Yet I hope such notions help you feel less awkward
And you lied when you said there was no such thing as bad press
You and I know, this shit won’t pass the test
And you lied when you said there’s plenty of fish in the sea
Or failed to mention the sharks of the species
And you lied when you said we’re just dust in the windÂ
Our actions control weather patterns Â
more than the stars control us within
And you lied when you said everything happens for a reason
Take life into your own hands and stop trusting in the seasons
And you lied when you said you see right through me
People who say that shit see what they want to see
And you lied when you said nice guys finish last
They don’t realize we’re not racing
Chasing nothingness while leaving others trashed
And you lied when you said you could see the Great Wall from space
That sunshine is good for you and we only use ten percent of our brain
Yet if that’s true for our leaders, there is less of this world to explain
And you lied when you said I’ll amount to nothing
You shouldn’t stick around, to see the something we can be
And you lied when you said some things will never change
We will still keep fighting with love, until tomorrow
is five steps forward from today

Soulful Vs The Socialite (Don’t Be Surprised)
By David N. Donihue
The soulful verses socialite
A tulip amongst flytrap friendemies
Nerds dropped into soda
Pop rocks fucking fizzlingÂ
Don’t be surprised when they eat you for being sweet
The more colors and layers the more shit it brings
If you’re genuine they will mock
If you’re true they will plea
For you to become them
Shame you for theirÂ
five seconds of peace
And don’t be surprisedÂ
when the prettiest and proud prove to be the most insecure in the crowd
And don’t be surprised when you win at life
How quickly they go after your humblest drives
And don’t be surprised when they say you’re not real
And don’t be surprised when they claim you don’t feel
And don’t be surprised when they thrash your name
When they twist all your words to hold you to blame
Yet the peddlers of gossip
Never feel true meaning
Trying to sting away the numbnessÂ
of existing for nothing
They just don’t get it
They just don’t see
To be jealous is to be ashamed of what you’re not
And to be ashamed of what you’re notÂ
Is to never see what you truly are
Or could be
And don’t be surprised when they flutter away
And don’t be surprised if that’s when you sway
Into your greatest moments, life in the minute
Nothing clogging your beautiful brain
And don’t be surprised when you achieve what you say
And don’t be surprised when you rise above all pain
And don’t be surprised when you spring to life
Take it into your heartÂ
Kiss the fucking sky
And don’t be surprised when you change lives with kind words
And don’t be surprised when you move hearts with hard work
And don’t be surprised when you spring to life
Take it into your heart
Kiss the fucking sky
