After some confusion last night, or rather, very early this morning about where to post this, I finally have somewhere to post my sappy stuff. 
WARNING: If you read this you may have side effects consisting of: Dizziness, nausea, becoming cross-eyed, and melting of brain.
...OK, maybe not that bad but still, I know a lot of you won't like my stuff. That's understandable. I request that you not post trashy comments. I don't trash your stuff, I'd prefer you not trash mine.
So, I think I'll start with some background information. I am a poet above everything else. Even above being a Brawler and InuYasha fanboy. Eventually I hope to make a career out of writing, but for now I'll just post it up for all the "Frontiersmen" to see, free of charge.
I do have a book, and what I post here will come from the last 2 sections in it "A Collection of Poetry Reflecting Love" and "A Collection of Poetry on... Everthing Else."
And without any further ado, I present a 14 line piece that I wrote around two years ago. It's about a lonely kid, who is torn between strength and love, and he uses medevial metaphors to express his feelings.
----------------------------------
Fearing
I start to pull my shields up, get my armor all in place
I attach my mask and darkness enshrouds my face
I'm scared, and so I build up defenses against you
Afraid of what you're thinking, afraid of what you'll do
But I don't need anyone, I'm probably better off alone
So my heart, it must be stronger, I'll turn my heart to stone
And there are things deep inside me that I wish I could say,
But I'm terrified to say them, because they take my shields away
With all my armor on, I feel so lonely now
I wish that I could trust, but I just don't know how
I don't want to be foolish, defenseless, or weak
But I know that I can't have everything I seek
I wait on your next move, my shields may stand or fall
I hide in my fortress waiting, far behind the wall
----------------------------------
That was not my sappiest work, but I thought it a good one to start off with.
Feedback is always welcome, as long as it isn't trashing my work.
