A Chance For A Poet’s Song
How would I have the upper hand
as all around in chaos got drowned
How would I stick to a single stand
when upheavals the soul do confound.
My words whiling away an abiding journey
digging for the nectar of beauty many a well
long striving to my turmoil hide and bury
keep chill and in my secluded shell dwell.
Would my ink change shade and scent
from dark black to the colour of blood
from the aroma of amber to an anger to vent
and pour heavy pain out of my chest flood.
So hard I tried to forge my very shield

The reality of a situation
Means sometimes letting go
Letting go of people
Letting go of friends
Letting go of a version of yourself
A person whom you thought yourself to be
It’s hard
You wanna hold on
But you’re just not her anymore
She’s no longer serving you
It’s like a breakup with yourself
How do you turn your back on yourself like that?
You feel sad
Like you’ve let yourself down
But really, it needs to be
It has to happen
You can’t fit into a box that’s too small anymore
You need...

People overlook what is right under their nose
like when the Emperor didn't have on any clothes
It took a kid to state a simple fact
While others whispered but, failed to act.
They were being blindly obedient to authority
Sadly, in this country that's the majority
"When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose"
and standing up for my people is the way I choose
The one thing I know is true
The system is out to screw me and you
While the powers that be dream of a new evil and how to fund it
I will...

melancholy blues
I ache in the shadow of regret
I hurt for yesterdays of sorrow
neglected feelings pushed down
where tears can't alter and the sun doesn't touch
my pain festers
it bears demons of rage
they stir inside me
rising to the surface
burning my tongue until they spill out as hate
this venom is promised for the hurt I buried today
deep within the well of sadness
where I am a prisoner
melancholy blues are the colors I wear
I seek the light just to be cast down
into the depths of misery
where I am bound
...
