First, above all else; I hope you are well.
I hope you are happy
And cared for
And maybe even loved
The way I was meant to love you
The way I wanted to love you
The way I would have loved you
Children are supposed to play,
Not spend so much time wondering why they've been betrayed.
At what age should a child be able to define dismay?
How young is too young for a child to learn to hate?
Instead of seeing me as I am today all you see is who I used to be. The person I used to be is not the man I am today. Time leaves a brutal scar on us all, separating one from another.
Average, Normal, Typical,
Who has the say to define such?
Who has the say to define beauty, class, status?
All is crafted and twined by mankind.
Last time around it was 25 to life this time around it's A New Life a new beginning
Come on with me they gave me attempted murder aggravated assault with a deadly weapon
It all started with the Drums.
That steady beating that created towers and slums.
Steady beating for those wounded and fallen,
Drumming for those who were beaten and forgotten
All were supposed to seen as a patriot,
All I need…
All I need is music
Music is everything to me
It keeps me calm I'm distressed
Its there to listen to me
I’ll see you after seasons change
when we’re bundled up again,
when breezes penetrate thermal
layers and our fat gloved hands
are teenagers again, awkwardly
holding each other in your coat’s
There will be a day where I would be stranded.
With all of the objects in the world
I would not take any materialistic objects
Not cameras, photos, or phones
Smile, smile,
a world of smiles.
When you haven't seen your own in a while,
look around and you will see,
smile, smile,
a world of smiles.
All I need are books and pens
And study halls with all my friends.
All I need is the internet
To answer the questions i dont get
All I need is the library
And to cry when the stress is getting to me.
Live life without hindrance, please sir
It is something taken for granted, all should have
None of us truly do… not even you, do you defer?
Might as well do it now, it is only gonna get worse
Whatever I need...
Is all I need
Whether it be the love of my life
Or a tiny flax seed
Whether the world on my shoulders
Or the sun's delightful rays
The love of my life, and his beholders
All I need are the lives of my brethren,
given up for the ideals of the free.
Pressing forward with my dreams I've been buildin'
Seeing all these faces looking up at me.
Millin' in my mind,
all the time,
My mind is blank,
My thoughts won't flow.
I'm a bit bored,
So I look out the window.
I begin a new book,
It reminds me of you.
If you ask me why,
I'll have no clue.
Like a string on a bow,
you get tugged,
pulled so far back,
you think you may just snap.
Like an arrow,
you soar,
Form. Aim. Fire. Miss.
What went wrong?
You can't succeed on your own.

Makes up you,
Enlarge your vision …
and You can achieve whatever You put Your mind to ..

Your dreams can definitely come true ..
Curtains are drawn at night,
To shield our fragile minds
From obscurities
Mute outside.
Half are opaque,
Half are translucent.
Variety feeds the filters
Type.
Just type.
My fingers dangle above the keyboard,
Splashing each word, verb, sentence-
That comes to mind.
The words are like snow to me:
Soft,
Delicate,
And pure.
to speak but cannot form the words that would fulfill my thoughts desire.
to gain freedom but scared to face the breakout of war against another.
yes, yes this is how you and i must feel, this is how you and i try to explain,
I don't understand why life seems to just pass me by. Like I'm making no improvement. Just excuses for the human eye. To mark me as another statistic. They see me as just another welfare collector.
Pain has brought me to the fear of being alone now. These are words that may, NO, can never escape my lips. They need me to be strong. I can't let them see me cry. Why you ask, because my strength is all they got.
Just a brick in the wall I shall not fall I look like the rest but I shall not fall forged from best minerals stronger than adamantium i am the strength of us all im the sweet smell you smell from cookies fresh out the oven im clearer than the cl
HOOK:
All but one that can make this complete, All but one that can solve this mystery.
VERSE:
The one piece I'm looking for it might be happiness, love, or maybe trust.
I've been waiting for a while but I found out that this is my moment,
No more stalling because I have become my own opponent,
Bearing myself up striving to achieve perfection,
I have never slowed down.
Ran afraid from it all.
My pain that I harbor
from every time I fall.
I have hid in shame
and have froze in fear.
I've even morned the death
I have never slowed down.
Ran afraid from it all.
My pain that I harbor
from every time I fall.
I have hid in shame
and have froze in fear.
I've even morned the death
For all we know, we could have died years ago.
Our sleepless, immobile bodies floating around, waiting to be kissed by the Earth to start over and begin a new life.
For all we know, life is one big dream.
when your in love there is always pain!

he sits in the shower
pools of blood at his sides

I woke up today with tears in my eyes.
Walked down the hall, Mom asked what was wrong; I couldn't lie..
Mom held me close and whispered in my ear
Words that still ring, loud and clear:
Life is hard, life is tough,
it knocks you down, sucks you dry, even when you had enough
you can't hide, running will make it even more rough,
stand strong, will it out, no matter how hard,
The day it rained diamonds crowds flooded the streets,
but riots broke out,
and all feel to their knees.
Then mixed with the shine,
came the dullness of blood.
I came into in to the world and I knew who you were
But I didn’t know you
I slipped out of the womb battered and bruised and the only reason I lived was because of you
And yet I’m ungrateful
Running around hiding
Feet on ground
Head in the sky
Making plans for the future
When I am barely getting by
Just happy to be smiling
So lucky to be alive
Whether money grows on trees
Or I am begging on my knees
The royalty he desires
Burns brighter
Than any fire
The dreams he always had
Mislabeled as passing fads
Late nights, constantly wishing
For miracles that have been missing
All my life I was taught what I thought was right and wrong.
All my life I dressed for church and knelt before the Lord my God.
All my life I sinned and hurt and all my life I lied.
I have placed this pen in a behemothic, spherical object,
Where it is not required to nest in the area it was assigned to,
But it has the option to wander around,
And perform what it desires.
You make promises that you never keep
Break my heart,andmake me weep.
Never do I protestI just ignore the pain,So that in your armsI can rest.
I looked at her
I took a good long, long look at her
At moments she was as pretty as the multi-colored sunset, waving goodbye as it faded it into the ocean
Fighting, but i'm weak with both hands. A vacation, eyes detect no beach, feet feel no sand. Double left handed, clubsy but talented. Can't get a job, did once but got fired because I couldn't manage the way my manager managed things.
The art of progression
Is something of enlightenment
The fact that you can evolve
And then involve your mind
In a split second
A fragment of your life
Becomes your whole
Time
Waisted
Why must you pull me back?
you evil thing tugging with a lion's brutality on the cords of my ankles.
then I cannot walk or run free.
and leap through those transparent but fierce and threatening walls of this cage.
Of all comes none, yet feels as still
some semblance of a substance seen unreal,
echo endless hollow beauty immeasurable.
Our World is quiet, and operates in shadows.
The secret committees commence with their meetings.
The silent leaders annually rendezvous.
We are strong and stealthy, though we are only teething.
Use to drink all the time,
torn up from sky to ground,
lock up two or three,
times ago,
you don't know,
how it is to slip,
I have once falled under,
take pain pills at christmas,
