Life Punches Back
Walking around the city feeling low, I stopped over the bridge, Sat down and watched the water go, Thinking why can't life flow like that, Smooth and it don't punch back, Whatever tho, As I stand up and the wind catches my back, I thought to myself what if I slipped and fell over? Would I break my back? Or would the water take me, Could I possibly do that? I wish it worked like that, I don't really care anymore, And the idea is thrilling...And that water can't be any more chilling, Then my cold life which was never fulfilling, Huh...contemplating retirement from a life that never gave me...

The Kiss Of Death
Can you taste the iron? Do you feel that? I feel poisoned, This taste is growing as I weaken, My body is deteriorating, Years building myself up... For one moment just to give it all up, What the hell, Now my body burns... It gets worse as my stomach turns, When is it my turn to eat? It's been so long, I can't taste or even smell... This curse is crazy, I want help but I don't know how to control myself, Throwing it all up... Every possibility of an escape, I wanted out but now it's too late, Seeing you again I schedule a date for us to meet, Me and you together...The moments which make me...

Bill 'For William'
Tomorrow will I wake to see the sun? Will I see my father, Or is he still on the run? God bless those who feel cursed, Please protect those who had it worse, My baby brother... Who knows where you're at, 3 years old man he never had a chance, Please get it right this time, He's not a second chance... But don't leave him behind, There is hell on earth, I'm missing my family, That boy is all alone what a tragedy, William... Will you be ok, lord knows, And lord I pray, May he be all right, Guide him through life... God be his light, The sun is shining bright, Today it's warm... But what about...

What are we
I was asked, What is beautiful to me... So let me begin very simply, I will eliminate the basics, I adore everybody from all different places, Imagine a world with all the same faces, Separated by colours, Money and hatred, They are telling me, To speak about what I see, Through my eyes I couldn't be more unhappy, So ill come forward with my knowledge gladly, What is beautiful to me? Well lets see, The buzz of the bees and the wind between the trees, Make it easy to breath when I feel anxiety, When I feel alone, Thinking where did everybody else go? The sound of that calm silence soothes my...

The Angel in Me
Today was suppose to be... Well a beautiful day... But my closest friend passed away... I cried and thought about the time we shared together, I can still see you, Flashing that stupid smile forever, I remember the good, I remember the bad, And I remember... Every moment spent together, Times I will forever treasure, Each tear shed today, Will be in remembrance of my homie I wish god didn't take away, I guess you earned your feathers, One of gods angels now, And what can I say... Nothing feels the same, I can't lie, I'm suffering surrounded by pain, Haunted by an illness suffocating my...

Who Knows
When you are feeling depressed and alone, Somewhere in the world those you wish knew, Are together without a care, You wish you were there, But it wouldn't be the same, My heart is affected, But nobody knows, Does it even matter? Who the hell knows, Standing against the torment of time, My eyes widen, contemplating committing a crime, will I do it this time? Who the hell knows, Never felt satisfied, Never had much, But who the hell cares, Is anyone even there? I don't know, Hands together as I kneel, Looking to the sky wishing I had feathers, Praying that I could fly, If I jump will anyone...

Time keeps slipping away
Time keeps slipping away, and my problems never change, only numbers, faces, and names, so why do I continue playing games, isolated because I must remain strong, show no fear, for too long I've been out here on my own, no shoulder to cry on, nobody to confide to, the world seems lesser, because through my eyes, everybody I trusted wasn't true, I've hit an emotional wind right now I'm feeling the breeze, I can't think about the past, but my mind is freeze flashing shots reminding why ill never be free, listen to the birds sing, back away from the wall, lower your guard, ill be here for you...

The Truth
Decisions are hard to make
When
You don't have a choice
Life is
Hard to live
When you are suffering inside
The future
Is hard to see
When you are falling behind
It's hard
To be positive
When you are judged
It's hard
To be true
When you were never loved
When
You don't have a choice
Life is
Hard to live
When you are suffering inside
The future
Is hard to see
When you are falling behind
It's hard
To be positive
When you are judged
It's hard
To be true
When you were never loved

Hidden
Hidden
Behind many protectors
Evil lurks
And lingers
In many pretenders
Who's fault
Who can you blame
So much
Pain
So much
Shame
Evil lurks
Evil remains

My last breath
Do the shadows have eyes, do these walls have ears, if they do, could they hear me cry, did they see my tears, one step under the sun, one day, one love, my last breath, who should I reach, would anybody listen, or would they, continue on, without skipping a beat, what would I have to offer, would I even speak, if the world was listening, what would I say, could I make an impact, or would I be forgotten by tomorrow, my memory I hope, lasts, I don't want to be known, as someone who lived in the past, lay me down to sleep, when it's quiet, listen to the sound, of my heartbeat, slowly as my eyes...

The games we play
Let me know, where I stand, come to me, hold my hand, explain the rules, I won't breach, lessons to be learned, more to be teached, I know, you have a man, but, I know, your heart has other plans.

Mind Games
My eyes swell and tears run down my cheek, my ears can't take no more and my heart is skipping beats, I dream of peace but these pieces don't seem to fit together, I want things to change I want everything to feel better, but what is my purpose as I'm trying to locate my soul, I wish we could communicate how we use to, I wish, I listened to what I was told, the future behold many blessings to see, promises will be made and some shall be destined for me, I need to slow down, I need to breath, I need to see all the beautiful things that surround me, for most of us the inner battle is greed,...
