A Selfish Heart
Stars observe all the chaos below
Watching human’s hurt one another
Hatred takes root and starts to grow
While pitting sister against brother
Never learning from past mistakes
Gravitating towards great despair
Rushing headlong without brakes
A selfish heart without fruit to bear

Take Hold
Let my world give way to fantasy land
Let me slip into sweetest dreams
Let me delve deep into a lyrical band
Let me forget how my world seems
Allow me to embrace beauty around
Allow me a song and your dance
Allow me to immerse in colors abound
Allow me to forget happenstance
Make me think of positive things
Make me become your child
Make me believe that I have wings
Make me deny that I am defiled
Hold me close in your arms
Hold me until I may sleep
Hold...
Let me slip into sweetest dreams
Let me delve deep into a lyrical band
Let me forget how my world seems
Allow me to embrace beauty around
Allow me a song and your dance
Allow me to immerse in colors abound
Allow me to forget happenstance
Make me think of positive things
Make me become your child
Make me believe that I have wings
Make me deny that I am defiled
Hold me close in your arms
Hold me until I may sleep
Hold...

Especially me
Especially me
I was made by God
A long time a go
Also I always try To
Think positive
I am always glad
That I am alive
Every day
I was made by God
A long time a go
Also I always try To
Think positive
I am always glad
That I am alive
Every day

Show me the place
Show me the place
Where you are going
To burry me the day I die
I hope I don't die young
Because I am planning to live
A long time
Here on earth
Also I don't want to think about
That
So please don't mention anything
About death to me
Where you are going
To burry me the day I die
I hope I don't die young
Because I am planning to live
A long time
Here on earth
Also I don't want to think about
That
So please don't mention anything
About death to me

The Star That Never Sleeps
Through the north window my chamber glows,
A star with uncanny light bestows.
Through long hellish hours of blackness and fear,
In the autumn of the year, when winds jeer,
From the north they curse and whine,
Through red-leaved trees, the swamp’s grim design,
Where mutterings in shadows creep,
Under the horned moon's baleful sweep.
I sit, by the casement's cold embrace,
And watch the star that holds its place.
Cassiopeia reels from her heights so bright,
Charles’ Wain lumbers through the night. ...
A star with uncanny light bestows.
Through long hellish hours of blackness and fear,
In the autumn of the year, when winds jeer,
From the north they curse and whine,
Through red-leaved trees, the swamp’s grim design,
Where mutterings in shadows creep,
Under the horned moon's baleful sweep.
I sit, by the casement's cold embrace,
And watch the star that holds its place.
Cassiopeia reels from her heights so bright,
Charles’ Wain lumbers through the night. ...

Have Another
Keep drinking more shots
Ready to go to your house
Another mistake made
Ready to go to your house
Another mistake made

Disguised Princesses
When beauty fades and all that's left, are betrayals, lies, and hatefulness.
Trying to hide yourself behind smiling emojis and it's all goods.
Doesn't mean that your words were misunderstood.
It's not like makeup, you can't hide the jabs.
The this and that or the that and this, and think the context was completely missed.
I try to give people the benefit of the doubt, but it's kind of hard to ignore the words that come out their mouth.
Things haven't changed. You're still trying to keep me down, by smothering my happiness and putting new flames out. ...

Overdue
Guilt enraptures skin
and flesh
till its bone
and blood.
Greedy fingers wanting
always wanting
never wrapping comfortably
around what they want.
Praise
a frivolous thing
handed to those
undeserving.
And I am one
who has not earned
what they desire
so deeply.
Claws rip deep
thoughts cut deeper
marrow mixing
yellow and red.
Snow and rain
sun changing them
yet do they
deserve to be changed?
and flesh
till its bone
and blood.
Greedy fingers wanting
always wanting
never wrapping comfortably
around what they want.
Praise
a frivolous thing
handed to those
undeserving.
And I am one
who has not earned
what they desire
so deeply.
Claws rip deep
thoughts cut deeper
marrow mixing
yellow and red.
Snow and rain
sun changing them
yet do they
deserve to be changed?

Everything to gain
Sick of myself
Sick of my home
Watching my wasting flesh
Slowly turn into bones
Go where I'm needed
Go where I'm wanted
Where disabling diseases
No longer haunt me
I can be with all the others
Mirrors of me
Who want nothing more
Than to be set free
Free from the desire
Free from the pain
With nothing left to lose
And everything to gain
Sick of my home
Watching my wasting flesh
Slowly turn into bones
Go where I'm needed
Go where I'm wanted
Where disabling diseases
No longer haunt me
I can be with all the others
Mirrors of me
Who want nothing more
Than to be set free
Free from the desire
Free from the pain
With nothing left to lose
And everything to gain

350 days in a year
350 days in a year
To dream
At night
350 days in a year
To go out and make friends
350 days in a year
To change your life style
By eating foods that are good for you
Because junk food is bad for you
350 days in a year
To follow your daily routine
Because you should have a routine by now
To dream
At night
350 days in a year
To go out and make friends
350 days in a year
To change your life style
By eating foods that are good for you
Because junk food is bad for you
350 days in a year
To follow your daily routine
Because you should have a routine by now

Coffee break
I already worked 8 hours for my
Father
Now I am having
My coffee break
At 10:00 PM
At 10:30
I will go back to work
I love to drink coffee in the morning
That wakes me up
In the mornings
Now I must return back to work
And I will continue to write poems
For my father
Father
Now I am having
My coffee break

And I will continue to write poems
For my father

You punished me enough
You punished me enough
In my life
If I didn't eat what was
Put in front of me
You would spank me
If I cried you would spank me
Yes I am grown up now
I don't have you anymore in my life
I am total free
I must say that I enjoy my freedom
And nobody can take my freedom
Away from me
In my life
If I didn't eat what was
Put in front of me
You would spank me
If I cried you would spank me
Yes I am grown up now
I don't have you anymore in my life
I am total free
I must say that I enjoy my freedom
And nobody can take my freedom
Away from me
