Zig Zagging Drama

Processing every single emotion,
without creating a teary ocean,
ain't even an easy task,
but I hide it with a mask,
CUZ helping hands are lazy,
and mind and hearts are hazy,
secrets turn out to be lies,
peace is paid for by cries,
gossip is...

Petty

there wrapped in oneself,
the universal conflict.
The petty mind ,
only itself can find,
the delusions of its own projections.

The frantic race,
the contorted face,
the running from this moment.
The febrile mind,
its self inflicted...

Optical Illusion

Looking In my mirror this is what appears,
A vision of your fake kisses and my tears,
screaming at me with a hurtful plea,
is my heart and love that u never did see,
CUZ you threw my heart pieces all around,
as your lies beat me into the...

Artificial Love

Accepting the truth is sadly rough,
her never really loving me is so tough,
and the pain is more than I can endure,
when I thought her love was the cure,
but everything she said was her faking,
CUZ she was in it for the heartbreaking,
and...

Aversion

Silence just is, as is truth.
Condemnation, aversion ,desire, opinion

 breed complexities.
Simplicity is lost, obscured in banalities.
The lost turning deeper into the maze.
A runaway project of spiraling cost.
desperate attempts to measure,...

Wither Away

All the loving memories of me and you,
disappears when the sun comes through,
and all my heart's words that were sweet,
will just fade away, in this sad defeat,
CUZ what wasn't even real was your fight,
now I'm lost in your lies, faking I'm...

Old Wooden Coffin

Tears regret and pain collide making loud sounds of thunder,
the water starts to leak in my wooden coffin six feet under,
and as a soil is softened with every drop, I dig myself out,
live reenters my body as I start to scream and shout,
...

Safely on Breast

There's something that exists that's softer than a pillow could ever be,
they come in all shapes and sizes, but perfect in the eyes who see,
because they can do all sorts of wonderful tricks like wiggle and bounce,
some are light as a feather,...

Facing Evil again

The battle is won, but the war is in view,
and I still continue to stand, do you?
CUZ even though the road ahead will be rough,
I know that the Lord our GOD is enough,
that's why I fight to make sure his word lives,
because when I die, there's...

Facing Evil

The day comes when I must take my throne,
and all the work I do will not go unknown,
CUZ I'm looking to make sure I spread the word,
and by shouting it, I'm sure I will be heard,
so put up all your swords and your shields,
and meet me in the...

Destiny

There's a question that's been on my mind since the day of my birth,
and that's, What is my sole purpose on this mysterious planet Earth?
So I set out a quest to find this curious question out,
all because I want to eliminate the storms of worry...

Why Do I

Why do I do the thing's that I do?
Is it me? If not, Then who?
Could it be that, deep inside, I'm Ill,
or because I like the up and down thrill,
maybe I was trying to see if I was good,
trying to beat others in the neighborhood.

Why do I...

Three to Two

Ring ring, the phone's going off and I wonder who can it be,
so I ask my beautiful little daughter to pick it up and see,
and she puts it on speaker, and happily says, "hello, who's this",
the person on the other end says, "How are you doing,...
