Fell Too Soon
This relationship shit aint working,
I used to do it all by myself for myself
now I gotta do it for both and sometimes to impress,
I used to wake up and mind my own business
now I gotta wake up and tell her how beautiful she is.
This commitment shit aint working,
I used to consult myself and weigh my views in my perspective,
now I gotta share my own goals and dreams coz another being is a new part of me,
I used to balance my left with my right,
now I gotta balance my rights with a woman who's never wrong.

Unbearable
Phases
the poor face these days are nothing
compared
to what emotions put people through
these days,
when knowing what they have
but thinking they actually own it all,
while they actually happen
to be the used
by those they amuse most
of the time
calling it love
but not being able
to bear it
because those they love
bury it
with smiles on their face
that says I love you
night and day
but my plan is
to make you pay the price
for dating me and
taking me out on
dates
like you know what it...

Life Unseen
Look at it with a drunk eye
and tell me if it still looks like life,
when we all living on the same planet
but different levels,
where we all being called "people"
yet mistreated by other other better ones.
Take apples for instance,
they all fruits
but bruised ones are rejected,
green ones are recommended
and yellow ones are doubted,
less wanted and less taken care of.
Look at it with a teacher's eye
and tell me if it still looks like life
when you teach a bunch of students
who will eventually struggle
to get...

High, How You Doing?
Bed undone,
slippers missing,
Sheets around the waist,
my weed under the base,
waiting for a blaze
but I gotta go to work,
Bong ready, grass baked,
water bubbles from the suck of air,
steam streaming up,
hi, who's up?
couple blows of smoke,
brain chill,
blurry views,
vision in the mist,
am I high yet?
Incoming calls, direct voicemail,
all by me but pot to blame,
2pm, no lunch to munch,
ringing door bells, no answer,
sky invitations,
cloud 9 accomodations
high greetings...hi how are you.
You...
slippers missing,
Sheets around the waist,
my weed under the base,
waiting for a blaze
but I gotta go to work,
Bong ready, grass baked,

couple blows of smoke,

Despicable Pair
Mind over matter, severe love,
critical emotions and wicked feelings coming together as one
with a trace of bad commitment and dishonesty
planted by two souls
who thought they were everything to each other.
Alien love, dangerous trust,
immortal connection of confused hearts
in a hollow chamber
filled with adversity and spiritual disgust
mounted on ceilings and painted on walls
with colours of darkness and awful hatred
affiliated with good hope
but barely appreciated.
Love caged, distorted faith,
a big seed of pain too huge...

Raw Dream
Living up to a golden goal that everyone knows,
a bit difficult to unfold because of the people you told,
so close you were
but obstacles you call friends are pretenders
who keep defending success from you.
From you they keep...success...
from you they take
from you happiness they gain
from you
to you
for you their love they fake
yet in them your trust remains,
you not being stupid you being human
but today your face you cant face
in the mirror
because all you see is pain tracing
all around your presence
because...

Cry Young Child
Cry young child,
time aint up yet,
cry while you can,
you were warned young child,
you failed to accept your age as young,
you got involved young child,
in big gangs and
peer pressure forced your young soul
to practice acts
of an older age
young child,
now its all back-firing your young life
young child,
your parents dont want you in their house
young child,
your big gang put the blame on you
coz you young,
and now they say you too young
to be part of them,
they messed up your young life
young child....

I Choose To Be Single
My choices feed happiness to my heart,
a relief of pain and useless feelings,
I made a choice,
a simple choice hard for others to make,
I chose to be single and do me,
one way to remove deep thoughts
over a girl who's blinded by her ego,
so much she couldnt see my worth.
I chose to remain single coz she was a drag,
she was insecure and careless,
all she cared about was manicure and price-tags,
she chained me around her waist
and said no other girl should taste me,
yet my love for her never meant shi to her ...

I Wont Sleep
I faked my sleep, forced a snore,
I made life believe I was taking a break
from this hell hole that has no exit door
where my "precious" life is trapped
between a rock and a hard place,
the hard place I call freedom
is being an obstacle to my mind,
ironic it is that I'm being blocked by freedom
from getting to the other side
to see a clear view
of a brighter future,
but I'm taking no break,
I'll fight till I break through.
I'll fake my sleep and force a snore
But I'll never go to bed
until I find what I'm looking for

No More Trust
They told me
not to trust her,
I never listened,
I trusted her
coz she believed in me,
I couldnt trust them
coz they didnt like her,
But I could trust her
coz she wasnt like them,
Then she did exactly
what they warned me about,
Now I trust them to be right,
I dont trust my trust
in her no more,
Coz she took advantage of it,
And now...
she's a disadvantage of my trust.

Mind of the Heart
Your heart gets you crazy in love and later on fight its way to tell you love is crazy.
Many have been there,
those who know will tell you
and those who dont will tell you what they've heard.
Your heart makes you withstand the pain of situations
you dont understand.
Ironic how your heart beats for someone but
someone's heart beats yours down.
Funny how it takes time to notice that someone has
been wasting your time.
Dont ask me why I wrote this.
I typed "Your heart"...then one thing led to another

What's Missing Matters Not
Have you ever read a sentence
and found that something is missing,
something you not sure about but feel isn't there,
but it doesn't bother you
because you understand the message anyway.
Now ask yourself why there isn't a quetsion mark in
the first stanza,
ask yourself why "question" is misspelled.
Did it bother you?
No.
Because you understand the message anyway
Now think of those you love,
they are not perfect
but you love them anyway
because their flaws don't really matter,
as long as they love you back and...
