Doubts
Lately you only been giving me nothing but doubts
Will I ever measure up?
Will I ever receive the same love I give?
Will I ever be enough of a man, to take your hand and make you the woman of my dreams,
the woman I’ll die for
the woman I’ll do time for
the woman that showed me she cared up until the day I fell
I mean failed to be the one you could come to.
So now I’m only filled with doubts
Do you still love me?
Do you still want this life like we planned in the past?
Do you still want to make what we have last,
until both of us...
Will I ever measure up?

Stay positive
It’s hard to stay positive, When it seems that you’re only alive to see your downfall.
To feel as if this heart that has been abused and broken so so many times,
to a point finally ending it all seem like your only way out,
Feels better then feeling as if you’re not meant for love or to be loved.
To suffer from this weight you put on yourself to not feel like the disappointment in your family.
To feel as if you should be the provider and give your all to those that could care less about how you are deep down.
To feel as if your life is spiraling...

What’s The Point
What’s the point?
Why make noise to be heard when you’re voice is still drowned out.
What’s the point in making a scene, when the reason for your actions get overlooked.
What’s the point?
Why point fingers and blame this or that. When that and this was never an issue, but a smokescreen to lure you off track of the real problems that weigh on our backs.
What’s the point in taking a stand for something, when the change is a temporary fix.
To bring light upon the injustice of the world. If the justice you seek only ends up with more bodies...

I’m Sorry
I’m sorry for all the wrong I did
In retaliation to the way you made me feel
I’m sorry for all the lies I told
Even if I was the one who said let’s keep it real
I’m sorry for all the pain I caused
Just because I was hurting and didn’t know what to do
I’m sorry for all the times I said we are good
Even if I knew it wasn’t true
I’m sorry for games I played
I know that it wasn’t fair to you
I’m sorry for how way things went
I didn’t mean to put all the blame on you
I’m sorry for saying sorry ...
In retaliation to the way you made me feel
I’m sorry for all the lies I told
Even if I was the one who said let’s keep it real
I’m sorry for all the pain I caused
Just because I was hurting and didn’t know what to do
I’m sorry for all the times I said we are good
Even if I knew it wasn’t true
I’m sorry for games I played
I know that it wasn’t fair to you
I’m sorry for how way things went
I didn’t mean to put all the blame on you
I’m sorry for saying sorry ...

Cold Hearted
You hated me when I was there and you hated me if I wasn’t.
So what am I to you, if I’m not just something that is supposed to be with you through thick and thin, through hail sleet and snow, through all the pain you constantly drag me through?
During your darkest times, I was there. When you felt like all hope was loss and an end to it was your way out. I was there to push those thoughts out and remind you that there are better times to come.
Even after you put me through so much pain and your refusal to acknowledge me. To let others get close to me, so...

Despair(working title)
Plagued with thoughts of ending it all, I sit with my back against the wall.
With head buried deep between my arms, I start to wonder where did it all go wrong.
Before today, I remember how life was much better. When smiles and laughter filled the air, never revealing this crippling despair and how I just wish it would all just go away.
The lies...
the fake love...
the false hope...
Just make it all disappear with a snap of a finger. Instead of letting this depression and self loathing linger.
Take everything back and...

Guilt
A guilty heart weighs heavy on me, while being troubled by the pressures of my life.
The guilt of not measuring up, the guilt of not being that rock my life needs, the guilt of not being that person I want to be.
Yeah, I know guilt comes with living, but I just wanna know when does it stop?
When does that shining light, finally rains down on me to rid me of this pressure? So, I can finally feel free of this trap I manifested in my mind.
When does the pain from not measuring up to expectations placed on me, to be the reliable go to, finally fade...

No title yet
In this chaotic world they just want to be heard.
So they let out cries of anger and mass destruction to amplify their voice.
To give the men in blue that turns the men in black red over color a choice.
To lay down their arms and end centuries of misplaced brutality,
And stand with them to unite the country in sodality.
So what will you do men of blue?
Continue to raise your misplaced arms against the men in black and forever silence their muffled screams
Or stand with them to turn years of senseless violence from a nightmare into just a dream. ...

Non existent existence
How can I call this an existence without you near me.
Never knowing the gentle caress of your touch across my face
Never having the chance to hold you in a loving embrace.
Has my heart racing from just the thought,
Of you and I being worlds apart.
Yet, growing closer from your looks and words
That quietly penetrate my mind day in and day out.
But still loud enough to force it’s way pass this impenetrable wall placed around my heart.
How can I call this an existence
Knowing that the days seem longer...
Never knowing the gentle caress of your touch across my face
Never having the chance to hold you in a loving embrace.
Has my heart racing from just the thought,
Of you and I being worlds apart.
Yet, growing closer from your looks and words
That quietly penetrate my mind day in and day out.
But still loud enough to force it’s way pass this impenetrable wall placed around my heart.
How can I call this an existence
Knowing that the days seem longer...

Foundation
She entered my life out of nowhere. Just to turn things upside down and inside out.
Laying the foundation of my destruction with every move she made.
Never understanding this game she played was meant to break me, not make me into a better me for the next one I meet. But, to be warped into thinking she’s the only one for me and that life without her is destined to be bleak.
So, I continued to play this game of her’s. Looking through squinted eyes at the lies right in front of me. Hoping the truth I perceived was in fact true and not a combination of hand picked...

Light a path
Light a path for me in this dark and cold world.
Guide me to my destination so I can be relieved of these frustration.
That sit on my shoulder weighing me down from reaching greater heights.
Shine your light bright on this beaten path that I walk day in and day out.
Show me a way out of this mundane life so I can be done with this fear of change
That follows me around like a shadow hinged to my back preventing me from being the person I want to be.
Just light your light to make everything clear so I can stop making the same...

Again
Time and time again
Thought you was my best friend
You said you wasn’t going to leave
Which I really wanted to believe
But you left in the end
Time and time again
Thought you was my girlfriend
You said you stay by my side
Thought you was going to ride
With me to the very end
Time and time again
Thought you and I were golden
Then I looked you in the eye
I couldn’t see the lie
that you were out creepin
Time and time again
Thought you and I weren’t going to end
But now you got me on my knees...
Thought you was my best friend
You said you wasn’t going to leave
Which I really wanted to believe
But you left in the end
Time and time again

You said you stay by my side

With me to the very end
Time and time again
Thought you and I were golden
