Dear Zhenna,
I don’t want to do this,
But what choice do I have?
Where else would I go,
If you’re the only friend I have?
Dear Cryptic Affluence,
Did I really have to go so far?
What did I do for you to drown this way?
It wasn't easy getting here,
tell me was it meant to be?
I gave you somethingyou probably shouldn’t of receivedI’m weary eyedthinking about how you seemed to lead
charming sweet smiledemeanor honest and truthfulwhy did my heart have to be so couthful?
take this cup away from me
do not force me to believe the lies you feed me
i can see them a mile away.
like the greens on the plate of a child.
they're avoided and taste awful when swallowed
God I am frustratedNothing is as it shouldWonderful thoughts of flightBroken calls of worry
Did i suceed?
or did i go blind?
because of the greed
i got tears in my eyes
but no longer I see
and tears eventually dry
so suck it up you fiend
its not as if you died
poured over like a liquid fountain, rain
these words are constant but vanishes weak
for it goes through the ears; the mind never taints
as heard but never listened, conscious faint
forced and false
fake will fall
you must be real
to withstand at all
because smiles won't get you through hard times
but peace and prayer through this upward climb
stand in line
mirror mirror, what do you see?
some hidden power buried deep?
or are the scars all that you see?
like the others who don't see me.
I am not Scars but I'm not free
The stirring of shadows
The waking of dreams
A last stand in battle
No one hears you scream
But you made it through
Which is worse to you
Pretending to be okay
One thing that was said is that I was wrong
Not understanding why this came about
Haven’t heard something like this in so long
Saying all these things they wanted all out
I am perceived as sweet and innocent
No bad thoughts can cross my mind,
I am seen as smart and thoughtful,
People seek my intellect all the time
Always I wear a smile,
Man's bestfriend
No matter when
A women's alternative
To a boyfriend
We all live
Within a world
Where we have a choice
To our friend
For a man
Usually the dog
Why must the pain live on?
Why must suffering prolong?
Why not love
And be loved?
Why do I close that curtain to my soul?
“Don’t show them who you are.
Don’t let that side break through.”
we all have that face
you know, the one we hide from the ones we love.
but who saves us from seeing it in the mirror?
who saves us from seeing that face when we close our eyes?
Beneath the surface,Beyond the wall I createdThrough the numbers of the matrix,Underneath the false perceptionAnd Misunderstood representation,Misleading calculated frustrations
A Women of All Odds
Please pay no attention to the women behind those books
Intelligence is over-rated; twerking is all the new rage
You cannot see the beguiling manner of those people
You, an amiable person
Them, a people of many faces
You run past the boisterous crowds
Only aiming to please
Behind the false perfection,
Fight onwards my son! Take the chance I never had!
Grasp you fate with both hands
May honor resound with your name.
To me ears, the mantra rings on
But am I truly worthy for the crown?
We are not bound by blood yet nothing can separate us
I do not know you since birth yet our energies tell a different story
one door must close
for another to open
this is what you all propose
the cycle must have broken
closing, closing, closing
never to be reopened
but on I must keep going,
We are bornwe are taught to survivewe procreate, we teach,and then we die.
Chains of a Biblekeep us in prisontrained to believein a false wisdom.
