some just scoff, some just laugh
some just dance
to the sound of magic and mystery

pour out my life blood
soul spilled upon the ground
mind long lost to this song

magic songs casting a serene spell
wishing life continued right
long lost powers fading into night

mystery songs of peaceful confusings
not understanding, but ok with it all
singing in rhyme to continue confusion

death seed planted, and growth begins
vines wrap and trap your mind
squeeze till all thought dies

which is your true dance
i know mine
do you know yours

i am what i am and that is all that i am and all that i shall ever be..so deal with it
to make the world the greatest place is the perfect dream in

I liked this one. I have to admit it was a little hard to follow at times, but it was still really good.

The ending was kind of weak in my opinion. I liked the poem though and I hope to see more Ben.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily
