Mistakes Of The Past
We often think, if we could change the past, We would be happy, content, no regrets.
But changing past mistakes, only opens the door, For new and greater hurt, no more, less.
How often we think, we learned the lesson, That each mistake has taught, Only to repeat them again, and again.
At which point is the lesson for naught?
How many times must we go through this chaos?
Until we learn, to alter old patterns of hurt?
Why continue to make the same regrets, As each mistake repeated is sure to bring?
When do we see through lies, and deceit?
To the truth...

Cry
I promise you now
That I'll forget you
By the time this Black n mild burns out
Once you're gone, I'll go back to
All the cocaine
And all the other shit
That I was told not to do
And you owe me more
Than just packing up and leaving
Out here in the dark, seems like a fun place to be
And I'm sure in the morning when I'm coming down
I'll be alone and scared, no doubt
But I'm too high to cry right now
Well, I found myself in San Antonio, Texas
Betting money on a sorry ass basketball game
And down on the river, I met the...

Men Cry too
If I behave unstable
It is not intentional
I blame it on you
Yes, on your narratives
That boys don't cry
You say men shouldn't cry
You see crying men as weaklings
Why shouldn't I cry my cry
Even Lions cry, so why not?
We have all been mis-schooled
Depression comes in differentshades
Crying is soothingly therapeutic
So, let me cry my cry in peace
Or is it your cry?
One day, your time will come
If I sink into depression
Because I am being a man
When depression leads to death ...

Learn from you
It's been a little cold
In/outside
Switch of the wardrobe
Gotta be dressed for a ride
Got hit with a winter breeze
And all we like to act tough, what we do it for?
Be careful with energy
No need to be so cold, I wanna be more
Oh, summer's calling
A beautiful summer is calling
Oh, summer's calling
I done had a really long winter
A beautiful summer's calling
I've been going through, you been through it
I fall back and look at what we're doing
I can yell at you but what's the use
If you really love me,...

Stuck in my ways
All this pressure been getting to me lately
I just feel like everything changed, look
Yeah, stuck in my ways again
She said I pray for you
She said I love you, but I need to stay away from you, uh
Stuck in my ways again
Yeah, look, stuck in my ways again
She said I pray for you
She said I love you, but I need to stay away from you
Stuck in my ways again
Look,
Nothing ever stays the way it was
Loved you til I had nothing left
I just needed time to find myself
Needed more but you gave me less
Even dealt with all this...

Love is selfless!
We both needed inspiration and motivation in our lives, and sadly we didn’t fall in any of the two. We’re just humans who’re still learning what to do with the mysteries and wonders of the world we live in.
We’re still learning how to handle storms and hurricanes.
The bitter truth is, I couldn’t write about you because all I want to say is, FUCK YOU. Those two words are enough, enough to make me feel better. You allowed me to love you but you’re too arrogant and too afraid for commitments. I was so stupid for allowing you to come inside my house and treat you like a...

My Love is Potent
Look, yo
Sometimes I show emotion, sometimes I show I have none
Deep down my love is potent, inhale my love get bad lungs
Is this my satisfaction? Not showin' no compassion to women
Damn mama, I wonder if I was a bad son
Cause how I treat 'em, I treat 'em, and then I leave 'em
Like I don't need 'em that ain't no secret
Cause honestly I really don't
But that's why I'm really dope to these women
But the same reason why I can't keep it close with these women
The same reason why you ain't been in the city in a while
You ain't hit...

The Best Of You
I’m telling you that you can make whatever kind of money you want to make. You can have whatever you want to have. You can do whatever you want to do. Like there are no limitations and aren’t you tired? There are some of you out there right now, you’re tired. Somebody telling you when to go to work, somebody telling you when to take lunch, somebody telling you when to take a vacation, somebody telling you what you can and cannot do. Some of us, we were born to fly. But what I’m telling you is that when you become the right person, what I mean by the right person is once you identify who you...

Sometimes... All the times!
Sometimes I keep on building high walls around me
Not to keep myself away
But to see who cares enough to break them all
Who cares enough to make them fall
Sometimes I keep on constructing barriers around my heart
Not to keep my heart safe
But to see who cares enough to start
Sometimes I keep myself inside a fence
Not as a defense
But rather to see who really feels me... who has enough sense
Sometimes I keep on creating obstacles for whoever wants me close
Not to play “hard to get”
But rather to know why...
Not to keep myself away
But to see who cares enough to break them all
Who cares enough to make them fall
Sometimes I keep on constructing barriers around my heart
Not to keep my heart safe
But to see who cares enough to start
Sometimes I keep myself inside a fence
Not as a defense
But rather to see who really feels me... who has enough sense
Sometimes I keep on creating obstacles for whoever wants me close
Not to play “hard to get”
But rather to know why...

Love Is A Trap
This poem is for the women that can relate.
Once Upon a time
I fell in love
At the time I was innocent, a small white dove
I looked at the world with big bright eyes
And chose to believe all the alleged darkenss was lies
I met him while shivering in the snow
Why he bothered with me I still do not know
But he gifted me a cloak, to keep out the cold
And promised to be by my side until I was gray and old
During the summer our passion boomed
Who...

Stay Strong & Positive
Strength is an outward showing. If you think that anyone just feels like they can take on the world all of the time, you're wrong. Everyone is scared. Some people just push through it, in the hopes that it will inspire others to push forth as well, in the hopes that it will get better; it will get better. Create an epidemic of inner heroism, of inner strength. Sometimes you just have to do it. You just have to keep going, even when everything inside of you is screaming for you to stop. When others start believing you are strong, you will too. Strive for better, be better do better. Remember...

Awesome is being able to wake up and say I’m okay,
and to be able to drag myself out of bed,
morning,
after morning,
after morning,
and being able to make it through the day,
without once having to stop and keep my chest from suppressing my lungs,
not allowing me to breathe,
struggling for even the shallowest of breaths in a crowded hallway,
where all I can feel are gleaming eyes staring at me,
and feel the voice of paranoia whispering in my ear.
Awesome is finally being able to take a test in a silent room.
