Mission Incomplete
I'm tired, I'm sick
I cannot sleep
I've tried so long
But never succeed
My mind is caught
In an endless loop
It's all my fault
I wasn't able to...
To become the man
I was supposed to be
To be with the woman
That was meant for me
To hold on longer
And try again
But I can't do this anymore
I'm in too much pain
I've let everyone down
I know it's true
If you're one of them
I'm saying sorry to you
I thought I was doing
Everything as I should
Turns out i...

PRIDE AND REALITY
PRIDE AND REALITY
Some people's hands are dipped in boiling oil.
They suffer quite a lot but are too proud.
They deem that pride is all that they should have
as they have nothing except their hauteur.
They know they have no skills and nothing good
and goodness is what builds the stair to heights.
They look down at deep hell and there they find
their scanty skills can go as all is low.
But though they know that boiling oil is pain,
they prefer that to acknowledging loss.
They discard thawing hands in that hot pan
but...

Pride vs Self-Esteem
Self-esteem flows solely internalized.
Pride rides similarly internal but twists with a superficial slant.
When the id is puffed up with pride it greedily strokes the ego.
Self-esteem builds confidence while pride leads to arrogance.
Pride spins a feedback loop that suffers from gluttonous envy.
The more it feasts the fatter pride grows then craves ever more
to feed it's repetitious addiction.
Self-Esteem is everything!
It fills us with a healthy dose of confidence providing tools for personal success.
Pride thirsts for more than...

Breathing Casualty
waiting for my voice
to be someone worth listening to
wrestling with motives
overlooked is best
when the only lasting glory is You
beyond what I feel
I speak truth till I hear it
falling in line
when first is second of two
place me in last
and underestimate me
I'm still learning to be who I'm supposed to be
it's all the process and measures
who am I to compare
reproving faithfulness
beyond a finite scale on blind terms of what's fair
I escaped into my own captivity

Freedom
A right to live
A right to give
A right to learn
A right to earn
A right to choose
And sometimes refuse
A right to express
What we want to suppress
A right to care
A right to love
A right to worship
The God above
A right to dream
A right to create
A right to be happy
And to celebrate
A right to achieve
In what we believe
A right to speak
And to be unique
A right to fight
For what is right
A right
to be free
Free

Nothing better
Nothing better than
being able to believe ones body
is beautiful and that doesn't mean thinking ones body is better than anyone elses or more superior in any way
it just means embracing ones
own energy,
accepting that
this body is pretty magnificent and automatically beautiful no matter what,
it's beautiful to just exist at all let alone
existing in the form
of some being is
pretty damn extraordinary to me,
now I can see
it's much better to agree with the positive points of view
popping up
in the vortex that is my mind, ...

What Really Matters
I don't care about all the numbers in your bank account
Or the horses under the hood of your car, my love
I don't give a damn about what you do for a living
As long as you love what you do
But tell me
Have your parents set a good example on how to love and be loved in return?
And
If your friend needs someone to talk to in the middle of the night, is it your number they dial?
Do tell, when you look at me, what is it you truly see in these multicolored eyes of mine?
exactly... that's what I thought.
Or the horses under the hood of your car, my love
I don't give a damn about what you do for a living
As long as you love what you do
But tell me
Have your parents set a good example on how to love and be loved in return?
And
If your friend needs someone to talk to in the middle of the night, is it your number they dial?

Untold Tax
The thought of me, is hard to fake. But for all the others, so quick to take.
All aboard, at my expense. don't you worry, I'll pay your fee.
My promised hope is on its way. But you've made sure, it's behind your fence.
Myself on sale, discount truth. No ones here, and yet I stay.
So close to end, and yet so far. Cash my checks, yet skip my booth.
The thought of me, is hard to make, But for all the others, I refuse to break.
All aboard, at my expense. don't you worry, I'll pay your fee.
My promised hope is on its way. But you've made sure, it's behind your fence.

Ongoing Question
I can.
Can I?
Ongoing question
Niggling ripples of self doubt
That make us leave
Incomplete
Without
With determination we must rule
Fight that doubt in a duel
Defeat it
Overcome your fear
Only then will confidence reappear
No more shall we say those words "Can I"
"I Can" will surely rule your sky
Can I?
Ongoing question
Niggling ripples of self doubt
That make us leave
Incomplete
Without
With determination we must rule
Fight that doubt in a duel
Defeat it
Overcome your fear
Only then will confidence reappear
No more shall we say those words "Can I"
"I Can" will surely rule your sky

I am defiant...
track my life map through the trail of my scars
some visible
others unseen
if I gave you a tour you’d still end up lost
cuz the path is ever changing as I discover myself
but what the hell…
let’s give it a shot
there’s always danger to be found growing up on a farm
and I certainly didn’t escape it unscathed
most of their marks have faded & no longer pain me
but at least one still remains
a constant reminder to pay serious attention
and to always employ quick reflexes
after a hay-pick caused a jagged seam...

walls don't lock me in
open roads don't set me free
I am my own key
