Worth
I know I'm not perfect,
I may not be worth it.
I know I can love you one minute,
and hate you the next.
Please know,
I try my best.
Now that I'm gone,
I know you can rest.
Which is great!
You need someone who really needs you.
more than I do.
Sorry for being so mean,
sorry I didn't come clean.
I have my intentions,
and always end up learning my lesson.

My Lady
Tell me what you wish for,
all I need is what you need.
Whenever you need succour,
I'll gladly yield myself to help.
Your smile disseminates rays of hope,
I can hardly look away from it.
With you I know I can cope,
cos our connection is gainly fit.
Whenever your hand holds mine,
I bounce forth and bubble.
My being rejoices because you are mine,
thus no one can make me grumble.
Though the crowd makes me fret,
your presence gives me strength.
You embody many precious things,
I'm glad I found you out quick.
...The Theory Of My Life
My theory is to love them Who hates me, To respect them Who dishonors me, To accept them Who denies me, Like a tree begets flowers And fruits despite hitting it. ...
Hurts
It hurts and I don’t know why
My bones feel brittle and my eyes sting
My back feels like breaking
And my shallow breathes keep breathing
I’m breaking and I don’t know why
I don’t know why I’m sad
Or why I’m lonely
I have a family
They support me as much as they can
But all I notice are what they lack
And in what they lack I get mad
At what they lack I hold a grudge
I don’t wanna be like this
Holding loathing like a treasure
Keeping it in my heart,
holding it forever
I don’t want to wake up to tears
Or dread of the day ahead
I don’t want to stay in bed
But I feel paralyzed, like I’m dead
...Rage and Want
Blazin' with rage
Busted my gauge
Torned memory page
Tormented you in a cage
Seize this fire
I'll make you my sire
My dream will come true
I'll give you a clue
I can be your lover
But I'm a torturer
Beware my defier
I'm your greatest nightmare
GENERATIONAL CURSE
Hmmmm and hello as they approach me
We have much to tell you you and your legacy
You see you have been cursed and punished by foe
Allow us to help you and soon you will know
So of course curiosity and fear took control
20 years later this is all that I know
I have listened to liar and some friends mostly foes
To weigh in all options so OOOOOK here we go
No matter what you do to me
I will always find the right way
My mission is LOVE so heres a hug for you today
My wish is always simple and always the same
Heaven for all including those in disdain
I make this wish every year on my Birthday
Pray to God to take US all away
The DEVIL did ask and said NOW pick a side
I said that is easy ALL no DIVIDE
He then t...
FIRE
THE FIRE IT ALIT IN EPIC REHTORT
AS HE STOOD IN AWE AND THE PLASMA SPOKE
BELOW THE MOUNTAIN THE POETS TOOK NOTE
THE BOOK BEGAN AND THE LIAR AWOKE
ON THE TABLETS WERE GIFTS
SIMPLE RULES JUST TO FOLLOW
THE POETS AND MUSINGS BELLOWED AND HALLORED
EVEN BEARED WITNESS WITH OWN SAID EYES
YET BEGGED TO THE HEAVENS FOR A SIGN
AGAIN CAME THE BLOOD AND THE PARTING OF WAYS
THAT SEA WAS DIVISION WE WERE NEVER THE SAME
HOW MUCH MORE DO YOU NEED TO SEE
TO KNOW GOD IS MERCY AND EPIC HE BE
LUCIFER TRIED AS JESUS STOOD TO BE DEFEAT
BROTHERS IN ARMS
WASH RINSE REPEAT
THE ANGELS THEY TIRE
HOPING SOMEONE CALLED THE GAME
SOMEONE TO WISH TRUTH AND ALL WERE THE SAME

BROKEN
Promises like glass—
so fragile and carried
with delicate hands.
One misstep, and it all
comes crashing, falling
in an unexplainable fashion.
My golden glass never reached
its final stage. It has been bruised
over and over,
and glazed
repeatedly. It has been
scorched by the suns of
mistrust, and all that remains
are the broken shards
of nothingness.
