************Author's Note************* I just recently updated almost every poem. The wattpad's formatting messed up a few of my poems like "Beloved". But most of them are right. ***Please Comment*** ***I love all comments*** Even if life seems to be as low as it can possibly be as long as you’re alive anything is possible. That life that seems to be going nowhere can always be something and can always change for the better if you chose to stay alive. Get Human and Have Life is a chapbook poetry collection containing 47 confessional and journalistic poems. Get Human and Have Life cycles through poetry about depression, relationships, the importance of life, and the importance of poetry. Get Human and Have Life is my year long journal trying to find answers to life’s bleak questions that may not even have a real answer at all. “We are born to live, we are born to understand, we are born to carry a cursed pattern and be transformed by pain” -Jeff Buckley Table of Contents Life Between Lines -Monologue -Look Up When You Walk -Those Beautiful People -Megaphone -Dear Poetry -Excitable Gift Lucky 6 -#1 -#2 -#3 -Six (#4) -#5 -#6 -#7 -#8 -#9 -#10 -#11 -#12 -After Lunch (#13) Outpatient -Alison Pill -Dose -Tongue -Never Without -Without #1 (Without God) -Without #2 (Without Love) -Without #3 -Without Death It's All Human (Get Human and Have Life) -Unattainable -Full Circle -Obstacles -Glutton -Red Ribbon Robin -Beloved -Godless -Peak -Water (I) -Rocks (II) -Leaves (III) -Confetti (IV) - Somewhere I’d Lost -Half-Light Everything Ends and Everything Lasts -It Hurts To Heal -Addiction - Houston City Limit -Thank You For Waking Me Up * No art should be concealed*

BETTER VERSION --> http://www.wattpad.com/story/6528866-fake-smiles-and-stupid-lies-better-version-boyxboy THANK YOU Christopher grew up in a family that doesn't exactly respect gays. The one thing that they don't know is that with every joke and comment that leaves their lips, harms Christopher in more ways then one. Christopher hates the way his parents treat people and sometimes he wishes he didn't have to deal with all of the pain. Then a new face shows up in Christopher's life, giving him hope and possibly happiness. But how long can happiness last with parents that don't approve?
