Sincerely
Stop and let's ring true.
Who do you feel like inside?
Denied who you were born to be.
See there's passion in your eyes.
Surprised that you still feel it.
Admit that you have the strength to carry on.
Gone the doubts of beauty.
Duty to push on for those who follow.
Hollow the hostility and keep marching.
Arching the curve that has no archetype.
Hype and love your journey; hold it dearly.
Who do you feel like inside?

Hollow the hostility and keep marching.
Arching the curve that has no archetype.
Hype and love your journey; hold it dearly.

Vertiginous Second
Can there be such a thing?
Shallow constriction eeks out moments sublime
utils-eyed
can there be such a thing?
A vertiginous second.
Shallow constriction eeks out moments sublime
utils-eyed

Viceroy butterfly (daVid)
For my pretence the grandiose
my wings to spread
in hues to match the undergrowth
in autumn shades
For the less well informed
mistaken for an admiral
a lepidoptera shrunk or just deformed
summers short days do fly
When in the earth as chrysalis curled
just like a teenager, lied in bed
escape the cold and winters snows
awaiting spring, transformed in that advent
The junk food of a cow pat
my elegance survived intact
a willow leaf where raindrops sat
my perch; your glance not pass me by
...

Contentment
My contentment comes
From knowing that I can't have Everything I want in life
That there are things beyond my reach
Knowing where I stand
And accepting where I am in life
Help me understand its complex nature
And live within my boundaries
I learn to adapt to changes
To look beyond my circumstances
To find ways to keep up with life
And be contented and grateful for everything I have
From knowing that I can't have Everything I want in life
That there are things beyond my reach
Knowing where I stand
And accepting where I am in life
Help me understand its complex nature
And live within my boundaries
I learn to adapt to changes
To look beyond my circumstances
To find ways to keep up with life
And be contented and grateful for everything I have

The art of being real
People today try to be someone and something they ain’t
They try to fit into a world, that is never straight forward
They contort and construct themselves a wall of who they are around them
Many of them, never know what being real means
No one has ever taught anyone the art of being real
Being real is being true to who you are
It’s being more authentic than being someone else
It’s being original and having originality
Why would I want to be someone else when I can just be me
Being someone else take a lot of work
It take a lot of time, that I...

Keep hope alive
Everyday I wake up and I wonder if it’s worth being alive
I wonder if it’s ever worth trying to make it in this world
When I am constantly being knocked down
Every time I try to make something out of myself
I never get anywhere and i’m always stuck where I started it all
I try so hard that I wonder, if I’ll ever make something out of myself
I struggle when the world constantly pushes me down
Even when I am trying to carve a niche for myself
I get ignored, hidden and even erased from view
It’s why I struggle to make it on my own
When the...
