I see you, who you really are I see the pain beneath the scars I see the fear locked in your heart A fear of love, tearing you apart Inside you want that companionship That someone who'll never abandon ship But you're afraid to open your mind Cos in the the past, someone was unkind Yet I see it, the love you so desperately hide I see the cravings you have locked inside But it's not my place to tell you how to live Nor is it anyone else's advice to give But I see it all, hidden deep inside you I see through you, cos I've been there too And that strong face that the world sees May fool many, but you'll never fool me Cos I see the loneliness in the tears you don't cry And I see it all, in your lying eyes 

Broken inside, haunted and alone Walking through life, all on his own  All his losses, his heart still mourns Tears in his eyes, cos of chances blown  With no real direction, he wanders on Walking through roses, but covered in thorns  Thinking of his purpose, why he was born And why it's always his heart that ends up torn  The road winds long with much in his way  His desolate heart wanders without much to say  Fighting for his sanity with each passing day  Hoping the next person he meets might actually stay His mind clouded, pondering what went wrong  Looking for reasons for him to remain strong  Pushing through hurdles on his journey long Growing tired and weary of the same old song Weak and broken, the predators begin to stalk Like a fish in the water through eyes of a hawk  All he wants in life is an ear to hear him talk Hopefully he will find it, and end his long walk 

I don’t know who you are, Or if you’re near or far I don’t know if you even exist Or whether or not I will persist I wonder who you could be or why you'd ever choose me Will I really be the only one you need? Regardless of my caste or creed? I’ve searched for you a long, long time Longer than I’ve been writing rhyme If I meet you, will you truly be the one?  And will my search be finally done? But what if I have already met you?  And you were just passing through Or maybe we were never meant to meet And I’m in denial and cant take defeat Even if it feels like something’s amiss I guess that’s just how life really is I wonder who this will all end up with? Or if I should accept that 'the one' is a myth And whether or not I accept that life's not fair I'll always wonder if you’re somewhere out there

Being awake when the world is at rest Is probably the worst of life's many tests Lying awake in the dead of the night  With a thousand thoughts that shine so bright  Haunted by memories of a past so wild  Cigarette smoke lingers in the breeze so mild The minutes keep ticking over on the clock  And overthinking everything is barely a shock The flickering TV is just a tiny distraction Still unable to sleep, regardless of the action So many problems and so few solutions The silence of night in complete dissolution The days are long and the nights even longer With every second, the pain gets stronger Day in, day out it’s the same cold routine An endless looping of the same old scene It’s sad but true; there’s no rest for the weary Only vexing inhibitions that make you teary Insomnia is a curse, it's so dark and unkind It's hell on the body and even worse on the mind

Insult me,go on, keep bitching and moaning I won't fall prey, I'll just keep on ignoring I will not bow down to you petty minded folk Or to those who think I'm nothing but a joke I've been torn apart by many over the years I pushed through the pain and fought back tears For years, I've ripped out knives from my back And kept on fighting to get my life on track Yes, I've made mistakes, I'm just a human being Comndemnd by judgment to the anger you're seeing Nobody ever remembers the good that I've done Despite it all,  it's my life that's come undone I'm still learning truths about my so called friends The one's who promised they'd be there till the end The same lot who abandoned me when I was down But guess what, I'm still afloat and I didn't drown I stood with you and picked you up after the falls Woke up in the middle of the night to answer calls You held my mistakes against me, and I didn't see

My, my what an absolute shame That some “men” think that life’s just a game When did we lose our grasp on common sense? And start preying on weakness and innocence? It’s true; we live in a world with people who’re cruel But when did that become an absolute rule? I’m a man, and it’s all so disgusting to me That some take advantage while others pretend not to see  It’s unfortunate that this is the reality we have to live in Will “men” actually understand the affects of what they’re doing? What gives you the right to abuse the people that gave you life? Cos “She” is your mother, your sister, your daughter and even your wife! Do you really think that assaulting a woman makes you a man? Do you really think that anyone is impressed or truly gives damn? And don't make excuses about upbringings and childhood Or that abuse begets abuse, cos that doesn’t make it right or good Nothing on earth can justify these actions, nothing at all and to those who defen

We've all seen those crazy nights Full of drunk texts, meltdowns or fights Or even those where we fall on our face Cos of all the neat shots we forgot to chase The party goes on till the morning sun And hangover headaches just aren't fun  Your friends call and only then you find out  Everything you did before you blacked out  Then it all comes crashing back into your mind Blurry memories clearing up and some so unkind  All you wanted to do was go get drunk and sing But now looking back, it's just plain embarrassing Drunk posts and texts you shouldn't have sent  The ridiculous bills that show what you spent  And mysterious bite marks you find on your neck You see in the mirror saying "what the heck?" You walked around with your drunken stare Itching to start something, cos you didn't care When someone said something to one of your own It all jumped off, but there are no broken bones A random love song made your hea

The heart is truly our weakest organ A tug to the left or right and we're done It can be broken by words and actions And a broken one always hinders attraction There are emotionally driven folks around Who go unnoticed, cos they don't make a sound Cos thinking with one's heart is perceived as weak Even though it's empathy or acceptance they seek The heart understands things the mind cannot But it misinterprets thing more often than not Love is one of those things, it's a thing of the past And now friendships and relationships don't last A heart is overshadowed by unusual cruelty now People are ostracized and hurt, but they never bow They're treated blindly and aren't taken seriously The cruel just keep feeding on the pain deliriously But even the seemingly heartless feel the pain Even their hearts silently drive them insane Somehow they manage it and it doesn't show They bottle it up, embrace it and let it go Not ever one can do

Why is it so hard these days To find someone who actually stays? Is it really selfish and unfair To want just one person to really care? Humans are screwed up creatures Lost, despite their beautiful features They only know how to lie, cheat and steal And nobody shows how they truly feel Nowadays people are just cold and cruel And they play you and make you feel like a fool Undying Loyalty is a thing of the past And thus,  no friendship or relationship will last But then, there are still a few rare cases Where we find people without multiple faces There are those who are loyal and caring Particularly when hard times are blaring People like this hardly exist anymore Where it's not an act or elaborate show A genuine few who aren't full of their own faeces And these rare folks are an endangered species 

They dwell within the souls of us all When they're unleashed, everything falls Keeping them subdued within is hard Unhinged they'd go the whole nine yards Even their faces look a lot like our own Holding them down takes strength unknown Living with pain & anger and alone since birth Seldom seen by anyone on the face of the earth We fight the temptations, we can't give in We cannot fall to the hurt we feel within Instead, despite the anquish and stress We must lock them away, and leave out the rest Sometimes they break out from under lock and key And spread carnage as far as the eye can see They are the spawn of our burden and rage And we fight to put them back in their cage The monsters in us, others hardly ever see A simple glimpse and your loved ones flee They will hurt you and everyone you know So whatever you do, never let them go

Our emotional outlets are very important Particularly when feelings lie dormant We do what helps us get through the worst And to make sure that our emotions don't burst We all have different mechanisms to cope When life gets hard and we feel there's no hope Sometimes outlets unintentionally hurt people too Thing is, we don't always believe it, but it's true And then we're forced to look for another way out Cos we don't want to hurt anyone we care about People frown upon public display of emotion It's said to be weak, and ends in social demotion This defines the world we live in now Judgement is passed on everything, and how We must choose our outlets very carefully And do the best we can to ignore all the bullies Outlets are paramount for finding inner peace To constructively help us put our minds at ease Not to hurt anyone and make situations worse So again choose wisely and get through the strife Cos at the end of the day, we only get

I’ve always tried to be a good person, To be helpful, caring and kind, To be genuine with no real reason But apparently I’m arrogant and blind Is it wrong to believe there is good in our hearts? And that people can still take a stand? Since when is it weak and when did we start, Accepting that savagery is grand? Am I the only one who still believes in romance? And love in its unconditional form? You’ll never really know if you don’t take a chance And face what you’re hiding from Am I the only one left who sees right from wrong? And believes that there is always hope around? Kindness isn’t weak; in fact it makes you strong Even if in this hectic world, help can always be found There’s always someone willing to listen to you To lend an ear, a hand or a shoulder to cry on Someone to help you muscle through I believe in this, and that not everyone is a moron And that there is still good out there But I guess that’s not ho

Remember when we were kids? And all we wanted was to grow up?  Now as adults, we're flipping our lids  Wondering if the stress will ever stop Back then we were all so carefree Life seemed easy, a breeze and then some As we got older we all began to see How difficult life actually becomes We still have to make time for our friends And as adults we’re sometimes forced to choose The real few will always be with you end We have to let go of some we don’t want to lose Now it’s responsibilities galore It's mostly all work, hardly any play  And childhood feels like a lifetime ago  That's just how it is, there is no other way  We have priorities like bills and food And we do what we can, just to get by It’s all a routine, which is not always good We just do what we do and don’t ask why Adulting was never meant to be easy at all But we have to keep running our own race Life may overwhelm us and make us feel small And all we

Dreaming of life with open eyes so blind Thinking deep thoughts both good and unkind At work, at home, staring blankly out the window Lost in your mind with past memories that echo Dreaming by day and living through each night Pondering if everything is wrong or is right Falling deep into that bottomless pit of thought Trying to pick up the pieces of the battles fought Time and again reading between non-existent lines  Breaking unwritten laws and still paying the fines Questioning every feeling and looking for answers Searching for redemption and second chances Dwelling deep into your mind, ignoring your heart Begging the unseen spirits for that crucial restart Fighting the demons of loves true unkindness Hoping to be saved by random like mindednes Thoughts, of people and places of the past Crystal clear pictures of good times that don't last Suddenly the sun hits and there's fire in your eyes A burning sensation that almost makes you cry All this culmina

It's been said before, so let it be said again This world has gone completely insane Why do we try so hard to destroy each other? Can't we just accept the differences in one another?  So many people suffer and die for no reason And by doing nothing, we're commiting treason For what? Someone else's political advantage? We need to put an end to this genocidal rage If you're a politician, don't abuse that power Use it for change so millions don't have to suffer Why do innocent souls have to die for your benefit? We all know the truth, even if the media tries to omit.  We need to make sure this nonsense ends with us So future generations can live in peace and trust  Let's unite as one race and let this madness cease And try to get along with each other in peace  People don't believe that things can change anymore That all this nothing more than a political show Messages of peace are buried by hates ugly shape Le

We always look for that common ground People who can relate to us are seldom found We all crave the same like-minded companionship The kind that feels like more than a normal friendship We always look for that truly understanding heart People who know what we’ve been through before we start That one person we enjoy talking to, someone who listens One who you can laugh and cry with, without inhibition It’s rare that we actually find someone who gets everything And when we do find them, we’re quick to let them in We open up hearts to them without holding anything back And just by being there, they help us get our lives back on track We trust them completely and they become our best friends And we hope that they won’t break that trust till the very end We all need that one person, that one confidant in our life The ones who will never leave us, even when we endure strife They are the ones we turn to when things go completely wrong Through the h

What happened to romance? it's so rare these days It's like it only exists in books, TV, movies and plays Doesn't anyone believe in real love anymore? Or is it that people are too selfish to let it show? No more days of actually getting to know somebody Now it's all Apps and social media and faces with no bodies Just swipe left of right, forget the thrill of the chase Instead we choose by seeing a picture of their face Some will say "get with the times", things have changed And that these ideals are things of past and seem deranged Imagine a time when you actually had to start from scratch A time before some stupid App said you were a perfect match Getting to know some one was almost an art form Even getting their number felt like running through a storm But it took guts to and timing to actually walk up to someone Swiping and hoping for a response is just no fun Granted there are still those who are innately shy Even in this day and

One day I’ll get things right And only then will I give up the fight One day everything will work out  And I’ll finally know what life is all about One day I’ll be back on my feet And I’ll move forward without retreat One day I will make all the rules And I will no longer be judged or called a fool One day the tears will stop falling And I’ll stand up instead of crawling One day I’ll be able to stand strong And make right all I ever did wrong One day I‘ll be back on top of my game And I won’t have to hang my head in shame One day I just might meet someone again And she will free my heart from these lonely chains One day I’ll earn back the respect and trust I lost I’ll get through the hard times no matter the cost One day the whole world will hear me say That I made it to the top, and I did it my way

Remember when we played outside as children? We didn’t have worry in the world back then Remember getting our first bike and learning how to ride? And removing the training wheels and falling on our hides Remember when you scored the highest grade in school? And everyone was annoyed because you thought you were cool? What about the adventures with our closest friends? These are the memories that stay with us till the end Remember when you got in to that sports team? And you were so excited that your eyes would gleam? How about that feeling when your crush first spoke to you? And you were standing there speechless, not knowing what to do Getting their number was the biggest win and it stood alone But the scariest thing was actually picking up the phone Asking them out was another that thing that made our hearts race If they said “yes” you’d freeze in disbelief and fall flat on your face The next step was the drivers license, didn’t that take us far? N

When the world has you against the ropes And has you feeling like you have no hope One simple decision can make or break you But only you make it and see it through We’ve all been there, and its absolute hell It’s like taking a nose dive into bottomless well People lose their respect for us and beat us down Our smiles are lost and all we do is frown We fell like the whole world is against us Like we’ve been run over repeatedly by a bus But we can turn it around and take our lives back We can all make a change and get things on track And fight with all our heart so we’re never on the brink While believing in ourselves and not what the world thinks Cos it takes only one critical decision Made with clear mind and perfect vision One simple choice, and it’s not rocket science Changing our lives needs only one act of defiance

Come back to me sanity You've been gone too long I fall at your feet with no vanity Cos it was you who kept me strong Come back to me friendship Cos you truly completed me In a split second you abandoned ship You left me so cold and empty Come back to me conscience Give me solace in time of need You were my true  constant And on you,  my soul would feed Come back to me laughter Bring back my smile for the world to see You truly were my master Cos you brought everyone to me Come back to me freedom You raised me at my worst You gave me more than wisdom And it's you who I miss the most

You know you never prosper in the end Acting out because you don’t have real friends Shaming, assaulting and insulting the innocent Some would argue that you aren’t worth a cent In this day and age, you have plenty of platforms And bullying in general can take any shape or form What do you gain from this? You think it’s cool? Whatever your reason maybe, don’t be a fool How would you like it if you were the victim? And you were bullied to a point where recovery was slim You wouldn’t like it would you? So think before you act Your targets are affected for life and that’s a fact See, you acting out must stem from somewhere Maybe you suffered before and feel that nobody cares But if that’s the case, you should find someone to talk to And you will get the help needed to keep you true So remember that and move forward from this day Because bullying hurts people in many different ways

We all carry them within Stories that we never tell Secrets, not only of our own But of our friends and family too Sometimes they’re beautiful They bring love and joy to our hearts But some are harsh and treacherous And hold the power to destroy To cause pain and mistrust We choose to keep them with us And never divulge them to anyone Even if honesty is truly the best policy Sometimes we have to keep them Buried deep within our very souls Because betraying someone we love Hurts more than anything in the world

Is this the world we live in? Where sharing a song is a sin? I guess that’s just how it is Everything is either a hit or a miss Showing emotion is now perceived As weakness that’s not well received We all have pain that needs to heal When did become wrong to feel? We’re still human beings aren’t we? How many of us a truly stress free? Everyone has their own ways to cope To each their own, if it gives them hope I hope someday humanity returns to our hearts                      And we can show compassion right from the start If you don’t know what someone is going through? It’s not your place to pass judgment on what they do

You claim to be a keyboard hero But you're sad and lonely like a zero You're nothing but a bunch of cowards Spreading hatred through your words  Hurting people cos of the attention you crave Doesn't make you cool, smart or even brave I don't know why you need to spread hatred Wouldn't you rather do something good and be appreciated? You think you're experts in everything? But you don't know jack about anything Dropping an opinion is fine when it's constructive So choose your words carefully and don't be destructive Shaming, bullying all from behind a screen Put yourself in those shoes before causing a scene Remember, words hurt just as much as actions And don't forget that there's always a reaction You sit there, picking on innocent souls It's no wonder that you call yourselves trolls You bunch of Know-nothing know-it-all bullies   May the grief you dish out, come back on you fully 

Our very own devotion To life’s very notion Depends on our motivation For leisure and education We face many decisions Throughout our many missions For the future we envision We must act with precision With the right supervision Because failure is an explosion Of uncontrollable emotion That flows like the ocean Puts our souls in dissolution And while we feel that desolation In the depths of isolation We always look for resolution While feeling life’s confusion We crave for that infusion To fill our heart’s contusions And restore our damaged vision When we find our salvation We raise a glass in celebration And while we feel that elevation Remember the revelation For it’s that exhilaration That prevents obliteration And gives us emancipation

Life is full of difficult decisions It never really ends up how we envisioned  We never get everything we want, that's fact  We just play the hand we're dealt from the pack  It's hard for everyone this game we call life  We all face our hardships and battle through strife Sometimes things work out, sometimes they don't  The hardest thing is accepting it, cos mostly we won't Life is a gamble and that's nobody's fault And losing is like covering an open wound with salt Some to walk away without dealing with pain Though facing your demons is the only way to stay sane But then there times when the game goes right And for these battles, we must stand and fight Cos at the end of the it'll being joy to your heart Even if it brings pain, just bite the bullet from the start

It is a force we can't control It goes by so fast, we never realize it We just watch it go by us Seeing its power in the mirror everyday The grey in our hair, the wrinkles in our skin They say everything changes with time Technology, music, arts, even the cars we drive But the only thing that doesn't change is time itself Because It's the world's only constant And We can never change that Think of all those memories from our past Both good and bad are now just moments in time Even if we want to go back and change we can't It's the most powerful force in the world It can change lives in mere seconds We just accept it, and take life a day at a time Hoping that we can make use of time to come Because at the end of the day We can't beat the clock

People come and go in life That's a God given fact  Some stay forever, some don't  That's just how life goes  We create bonds with some Bonds that are stronger than others  We open our hearts to them  In the hopes that it lasts forever  We're there for them at a call Spilling blood, sweat and tears  We support them through the worst  In the hopes they'll do the same  This isn't always the case though  Sometimes they don't feel the same  and in the end the leave us behind  And it's hard seeing them with others  That's just how this world works  We depend on people without fear Ultimately we lose them,  And we feel like we've been replaced  In the end, regardless of friends or family  Nothing lasts forever and we must accept it  At the end of it all, we only have ourselves  Because as it happens, we can all be replaced 

Do we live according to a pre-written plan? Is there a writer who keeps messing with our scripts? We never really know what life has in hand So we play the cards we’re dealt and hope we don’t slip Hard decisions plague our routines everyday And we see people come in and out of our lives at will Some we get close to and love and they leave anyway When we question it, sometimes the answers make us ill We look for friendship, compassion and above all loyalty Particularly when things go wrong and we can’t thrive And we’re treated like crap by wannabe royalty We end up feeling like bad luck rules our lives Funny thing is, we’re the only people who can control it all Our fate can only be decided by the futures we want to see We are the writers of our own stories, we decide if we rise or fall It’s up to us to choose our fate, and write our unscripted destiny

I want to look in to your eyes And wipe away the tears you cry I want to tell you that I love you And be there for you through and through I want to listen to every word you say And hold you close when you’ve had a bad day I want to be your closest and best friend And be with you until the very end I want to be there for you through everything And be the one who makes your heart sing I want to be the one who walks a thousand miles And do it over again just to see you smile I want to be the one who protects you from harm And be the one who melts under your charm I want to be the one who steps in front of the knife And be the one who for you gives his life I want to be the one who gets down on a knee And asks you to spend your life with me I’ll be the one who always remains loyal and true And I’ll be the one who loves you unconditionally if I ever find you

Wolves always work in packs Hunting, and watching each others backs But this one is an outcast, one left behind Perceived to be weak by his own kind He watches from a distance As his pack wonders away together For his family's acceptance There's no storm he wouldn't weather As the night falls and the moon rises His lonely howl echos in the wind One eye constantly watching for surprises Scaring of threats with an angry grin Alone, angry and hurt, he moves onward For his wounds he blames nobody but himself And through it all he can only move forward He is now and forever, the one true Lone Wolf

One day you’ll realize that life is such You look around and see, things have changed so much Nothing is like what they used to be anymore And you start thinking, “was all of that a show?” As life passes by and you look at everyone in envy You can’t help but feel, “why couldn’t that be me?” The internal battle between heart and mind never ends Especially when you stand alone among all your friends Looking back at your life, it really hasn’t been so bad Lots of amazing memories, both happy and sad Now and again you’ve endured pain and heartache And spilled so many tears over all those costly mistakes Life wasn’t meant to be easy and all and that’s a fact There’s nobody on earth who can try and deny that In good times and in bad we will never forget The people we lost and the words we regret As we come to certain points and take certain bends We hope that desolate hearts can one day be happy again And find meaning in their lives that they j

There are times we see things that aren't there Like mirages things just dissappear in to thin air We lead with our hearts and its a waste of time Because we get so close and we drop the dime We feel like our dreams are an arm's length away But the truth is we're no closer than yesterday That's just how life truly is at the end of it all Things and people we love, make us feel small We all want to be happy with perfect lives to lead We make all that effort to plant the initial seed We plan it out and we only believe in success Then it alll goes down hill and becomes a mess I guess that's just what it is, we just have to deal And understand that somethings just aren't real It's probably the only way to beat the confusion And accept that our minds are deceived by illusions

Sometimes we don’t have a choice We have to give in to that little voice Regardless of how much it hurts inside There are something’s we just have to hide It’s hard to let go of anything, nobody can deny that Regardless of what it is, it’s hard and that’s fact And as much as we suffer and hurt because of it Sometimes to move forward, we just have to quit It’s a terrible part of life, but a part nonetheless And it’s the only way we can move from the mess We have to accept certain truths about life Even if it feels like the sharp end of a knife We let go of certain sentimental belongings We even lose our pets without any warning We bury any animosity held against our peers Even if it all lingers in our memories for years The hardest thing is letting go those we love dearly Best friends, partners and especially family Sometimes circumstances force us to step back Because sadly it’s the only thing that’ll keep us on track

We’ve all heard it all before, “You’re just not good enough” “You’re not qualified enough” “You’re not skilled enough” "You're not good looking enough" "You're not fit enough" For that girl, boy or that promotion For that sports team or for that degree These words are so powerful they ruin us When in reality they should inspire They should fuel the fire in our hearts “What do I have to do to get there?” The simple answer is believe in yourself Because only you can fight the pain Only you can keep pushing through And only you can prove to yourself That you truly are good enough

We’ve all felt those god awful feelings The kind that hurt so bad they leave us reeling Some people will never understand the pain Or how it slowly but surely drives us insane Depression is a brutal killing machine It’s felt by millions, though it’s rarely seen Most suffer in silence and bottle it all inside And it feels like there’s no bright side It has no remorse, the merciless pain it brings No matter what it stems from, it’s unforgiving Some claim that being emotional is a cry for attention But those people don’t realize that it’s not the intention There’s no way to measure how much pain one endures And nobody has the right to judge that pain, that’s for sure People can be vicious and insufferably remorseless fools And to ridicule someone who suffers, is just plain cruel Imagine the difference we help could make in someone’s heart If we had just listened to them and been there from the start We could save countless lives if we could ju

Love hits us in the strangest of ways and trying to figure it out can take days we never see it coming, it’s always unexpected especially when it comes totally unsuspected It's one of those things we need and crave it even has to power to turn us into slaves to the camel clutch of love, we'll always submit even if we're sometimes afraid to admit We look for a soul mate, someone who gets us someone who listens without making a fuss a loving embrace that keeps us warm in the cold and a shoulder to cry on as we grow old Being in love is truly an amazing feeling especially when a mere glimpse leaves you reeling it’s like every romantic comedy you ever seen holding hands and snuggling an everyday scene But there is a dark side to love, the pain, and hurt it can turn your heart into dust and bury you in dirt falling in love is easy, we don't even realise it’s happening falling out of love, a feeling that's beyond excruciatin
