the otherside
strolling on the other side of sanity unknowingly, crossed the barriers to a place where no one plans to be
now I need a sign to show me that I'm still alive a victim of loves betrayal and prisoner to the other side
so many times, I've searched for a friend but found a foe
in my crisis,I've asked for comfort but
some are able to endure the challenge and sustaingot a no
so I cross the bridges of broken hope and plunge into the place where no man's supposed to go
I'm livin life in the ruins of fallen buildings that used to be my intellect but is now forgotten...

black rose
A ROSE IS LOST on A GRAVE...
it bloomed in a hopeless place
it never had a chance at beauty from its first sunrays
no hope, no chance, no need, it just whithers away
guarded by death, surrounded by despair, the rose is seen but all misses its beauty, its flair
headstones washed in sorrow, graves covered In greif
buried under so much tragedy how can beauty be seen?
the roses' sweet aroma and velvety pettles are nwver known
when born to the abyss of gloom
beauty ignored, right to purpose denied, for a rose grew in a...

the walls I've built
I know no greater sorrow than you know greater hardship than this !
if any exist then let it not be known for this lonely heart of mine has taken its toll!
for all that I've given and all that I've gained I sooner realize it was all in vain!
for I remain not only the sanctuary but the epitome of pain!
so what more is left of me other than a name?
shunned by happiness betrayed by love oblivious to the one that I've been thinking of.
no one tell my story, noone to make me feel alive,
so I hold her with a tarnished regard and keep the rest inside
...

NIGHT AFTER THE RAIN
AS THE SPRING AIR CALMS &THE SKIES TURN GRAY
A SOMBER FEELING GROWS STRONG AS THE SUN.FADES AWAY
I SEE THE DRIZZLES OF RAIN TRICKLE DOWN MY LONELY WINDOWPANE
I HEAR A SOUND EMERGE BEYOND THE CLOUDS PROMISING A NIGHT OF RAIN...
BUT YET ALL I CAN SAY IS ROAR OLE BOY ROAR
ROAR FOR THE MOMENT, ROAR FOR THE DAY
ROAR FOR THE CONSTANT INJUSTICE OUR SOCIETY HAS FACED
THE INJUSTICE THAT HAS ARISEN FROM THE GRAVE
I INVITE EVERY ROCK OF HAIL, EVERY DROP OF RAIN
ALL IN HOPES IT WILL QUENCH THIS INSATIABLE THIRST FOR PAIN
I WELCOME ECERY THUNDEROUS...

poverty's plea
Burdened fathers, worried mothers struggling to find their place.Children starving for attention just to know their parents again.
A family tragedy stricken, circumstances beyond their controll, but yet so prevalent.
Tears drip down to the tip of a smile searching for a hint of joy-but none can be found.When poverty and pain are constant and addiction and death promise, destruction knows no bounds.
So then, where can happiness exist?
Tears are often, smiles seldom, tragedy sudden!
Parengs scarcely parenting, fighting a silent struggle.
School attendence impecable for...

soul cry
In the places where darkness meets despair
Theres not a sound to be heard
except when the soul cries...
Wallowing in the depths of pain
Time seems to cease
And a piece of the soul dies...
A life purferated by problems
Shamed by failure
One is no stranger to the worst grief...
Emotionally distressed, socially inept
Not a soul willing to help
To help protect me from the worst me...
Listen, can u hear it?
Thats the sound of a soul crying
But noone knows why...
Come,take second
Theres more to be
To say...
Theres not a sound to be heard
except when the soul cries...

Emotionally distressed, socially inept

across enemy lines
As tears of dishonor stream down my lonely face
I know no lonelier place,
No greater defeat,
Than these walls that imprison me...
Standing across enemy lines to my surprise,
What used to be the good parts of me are now key to my demise.
It was all a ruse from the people i knew
To exploit my secrets and minipulate my truths.
Still too naive to believe,
My son would be the catalyst for the revenge she seeked.
So it seems, my absence has declared war against me
I make no excuses for my actions and i offer no plea.

i will always write
In these words I long for freedom
I write them you read them I live them you heed them
Freedom to turn back the hands of time and regain a liberated state of mind
But in life I find
I can't rewind what has been left behind
When the soul is exposed and the secrete laid bare
One can easily fall into the abyss of despair
Looking through my stained glass window watching success passing by
For no matter what I do or how hard I try
I always feel ostracized
My indignities for all to see
But understand who I am has been hard to be
So I ask the lord if...

the dissonance
All of my life I've been treated as hopeless
I've been quieted down,passed up,even turned around as if I'm unworthy of being noticed
I've been called no good with no purpose
I've been held back and demoted lab led a statistic who's not worth it
Subjected to this dejection it was killing me slowly
I started losing all of my focus,second guessing all of my motives
I feared success and even found that I loathed it
I didn't care i showed for I had succumbed to all of their notions and failed victim to everything they had told me
Growing up I knew of only two...

king of the damned
As I search for the place where my joy may reside I search for the purpose...for what should have been my pride has now become my burden ...
My color my character and all that I am instead of leading me into prosperity it has made me king of the damned
Now living as a sanctuary for pain even the air around me hurts so I accept my position and mingle amongst the cursed
Struggling with the rules of life has impeded my happiness change is the only thing constant other than these endless tragedies
Trying to atone for my wrong and pursue a new life reconcile with the crowd and and...
