LOVE CAN BE BLIND
Why do we continue to hold on to what is gone knowing that it will never return due to the fact that it wasnt love, but yet we still keep waiting for it to come back into our world changed but knowing very well deep down inside nothing has change.
Why do we continue to keep thinking things will be different when we let them back into our life when the signs are still there in...

its time to talk about what happend last year
I hadn't done my hair in weeks , my hair was in what was supposed to be a bun at the top of my head but instead of a bun it was a nest of knotted curls that haven't been brushed in weeks. what was once gorgeous thick curls was now thin and brittle waves knotted on the top of my head . what was once glowing skin was now sickly and pale with dark bags under my eyes that matched the color of a plum . my lips were cracked and my eyes were red. I have felt so numb for months and its not like I didn't try reaching for help because i did but soon enough found out that no one cared . my thoughts were...

THE LAST OF US
I'm tired of falling like Icarus
High above the crux of Olympus
I've lost the other half of us
Holding on to the last of us
I'm still addicted to the tragedy
Living in the past where the pain will not die
Where you walked away from the misery
And now I don't know if I'm dead or alive
When I look at the ghost
That has scorned me the most
I know I've FUCKED it up
And I can't LET it go
I won't pay the toll
If you won't go
Because if I drift away
I won't find my way back to you
NO
...

LOST TORTURE SOUL
As my mind drifts off into the mere depth of my thoughts sending subliminal messages to my brain, penetrating through walls of steel and stones sending shivers through my bones even making the blood in my veins run ice cold.
But if that wasnt enough my heart has no feelings nor reasons for the sense of emotions, for they have faded to black the very mere core of what is darkness with no light only to be filled with emptiness, and disturbing...

THIS LADY OF THE NIGHT
Who is she this lady this woman of the night who spends hour upon hours sometimes days within the rain and heat then sleek and winter to just make her chips, while some give there hard earnings to some PIMP who didnt perform the tricks for the cash is only money made from paper as it holds very little material value or weight, but it will have you saleing your skin and flesh along with your soul with only the need to feed the mind of the soul that walks the mean streets that are so unforgiving. ...

Our Forbidden Love
I loved you, but I would never tell
The world including you because
Although we were lovers there
Was nothing else. My heart swelled
With so much hatred because claws
Scratched me and I could not swear
To tell you that I was bleeding from
The pain. I could never tell you that
I was tired from loving the wrong
Person who only showed their warm
Smile, but never the war or combat
They face every day. I was the song
That cheered you up and the place
You went to when you needed to ...

There’s no bigger fool than a willingly duped one!
By Stanley Collymore
It’s Remembrance Sunday and obligatorily
I'm publicly expected to show that I earnestly
care, whether the sentiment is genuine or
not on my part and even though I don’t
actually know anything about and,
furthermore, care even less of
what these internecine wars,
participated in long before I was
even born, were all about and
what it is that I’m expected
to either self-righteously
or else very penitently
be remembering in
direct relation to
one or else the
two of them.
Or as a...

Please open up your heart
That look you had in your eyes has faded.
When I touch your body it's like I never did.
I know I was with the shit.
I didn't know when to quit but I should have never started.
Now I am trying to piece back your heart and mind to get to your body.
I know you are so far away that it's something I don't need my eyes to see.
I thought I just wanted you until I touched you and it wasn't the same now it's a need.
I know the distance we have grown apart is because I planted the seed.
Now I want to feel your lips on mine.
Wet like a raindrop in the...

Apa-sapien the Apathetic Homosapien
I can’t even walk down the f***in block without catching someone in a s**tty f***ing mood
I guess showing love and compassion towards another is another human part that we lose
S**t, it’s like being human isn’t right but at the same time we all fly the coop
So wtf am I to do with this image of the truth?
That beyond this darkness is existence
Coexisting with each other to promote our own selfish views
But what do you expect out of culture that raped and stole for its nation?
Making America great again for dear old Uncle Sam’s creation
If you ask me,...

Okay
If there was one word
One word, isolated by itself
That I cannot stand above all others
It would have to be "Okay"
I despise "Okay"
"Okay"
Is how your millionth day at work went
"Okay"
Is off-brand raisin bran
"Okay"
Is how you say school is going
When you don't want to admit you spend
Every second of it
Wanting to die
"Okay"
Is packed to the brim with
Hidden implications
Like a treasure chest
Filled with bottles
With little subliminal hatreds
Written on tiny slips of paper ...

f**kinggggg...something, idk
Fuck it, I ain’t going out in public
I don’t get how people love it
I don’t think that I’m too good for that but usually I snub it
I prefer some peace and quite
Put some tunes on, tune my diet
When I got out drinking seems like everybody wants to riot
Where’s the time for conversation?
I use my imagination
It can seem like I do fuck all, I put pro in crastination
Start a project, rarely finish
Start a new one just to bin it
If it comes out less than perfect, wasted time invested in it
Only keeping that for...
