## Steal Poem

I carry my bane.
Outside was perfect,
But now there's just pain.
No guests can listen,
To a story I've told.
Circles and ovals,
My life did unfold.
The room was perfect,
So my sold my soul.
One was too scared,
And soon ran away.
One felt too tired,
And never came to play.
One was too small,
No hope it would say.
One didn't bother,
And inside I'll stay.
I lost all my guests,
And my ledger was done.
Empty halls and walls,
A guest there none.

## Darkness Poem

The air will be cold as ice.
The trees will trick you and lose you my dear.
The road will tear and splice.
If ever you find the path my dear.
The clouds will cover the sky.
Your body will vanish and fade my dear.
And the rain shall whisper goodbye.

## Canary Song

It's easy to sing, and not quite long.
It starts with highs and ends with lows.
I think that's how the Canary Song goes.
Follow the leader and don't get lost.
Richer than oil, but at what cost?
Clink goes the shovel with soot on my clothes.
I think that's how the Canary Song goes.
Winter is coming, time to work fast.
No need for food, but water will last.
Darker and deeper, it's our fate it chose.
I think that's how the Canary Song goes.
Covering my face, I hack at the wall.
Praying to God the sky doesn't fall.
Avoiding the curse that my lungs foreshadow.
I think that's how the Canary Song goes.
Nails to the nib, eyes unafraid.
Cargo for blood, our price had been paid.
Trapped with my thoughts and the question I pose.
Do you know how the Canary Song goes?

## Wheel Poem

It's always too hot.
It sounds like a problem,
I promise it's not.
I've done it before,
I'll do it again.
Acre by acre,
No need for a friend.
Repeating the cycle,
Trails that unwind,
Away from faces,
That I've deemed unkind.
No matter my choices,
Alone is my role.
Unfit for company,
Made for one goal.
The journey is long,
But stars never sleep.
Memories held captive,
Internally I weep.
But from whom I'm unsure,
My mind makes no note.
My face a blank canvas,
Purge was it's vote.
The wheels of my home,
It's all that I've got.
To whom it may concern.
As for me,
It does not.

## Camp Poem

There's a place I only know.
There's a place only I go.
And that place is special.
There's a place I go all the time.
There's a place that's in my mind.
There's a place I go all the time.
And that place is very special.
There's a place when I'm alone.
There's a place that we call home.
There's a place I go on my own.
And you'll never find it.
There's a place on no map.
There's a place but it's a trap.
There's a place you'll never leave.
So you shouldn't go.
There's a place you'll never visit.
There's a place you'll never go.
There's a place you wish you knew.
But I can't tell you, it's a secret.
