Me

Intimidating, sad, unhappy and moody scary, a loner, depressing and broody melancholy, angry, stupid and lazy a doormat, unlucky, fat, slow and ugly On the flip side, gentle, charming and funny a real nice guy, stoic, warm and fuzzy an em-path, a listener and a loving friend a teddy bear, caring and loyal till the end Now, before you cringe at the words you see these are words people use to describe me It's like I'm two people, polar opposites at that but there is only one of me and that's a fact Most times now people only see me frown because of heavy thoughts that weigh me down people think I'm scary and don't really approach and some think my heart is too easy to poach Some people think  I'm obsessed with my past that I let it control me and that I'm being daft it's funny to me how things can be assumed but I guess I cant let myself get consumed See, I've made mistakes like anyone would and I've paid my dues l

Greed

The evil plaguing our world is really overbearing money and power stops people from caring no law and order, just fear in our hearts and sadly, we have all played our parts We are to blame for the madness around we caused it, because we didn't make a sound they play us like we're pawns in a game and the fact that we let them, is a crying shame They murder, pillage and rob us all blind  and again we let them, it boggles the mind remember this land is belongs to every one  and its not just for one party or family to run They don't even realize they're committing treason, they just do things, without even reason lying, cheating and stealing for personal gain how has all this not driven us all insane?? We want progress but we're going in circles and then we sit and wait hoping for a miracle are we really that stupid? have we learned nothing? a change wont come if we don't do something But no, we ignore it all like it

Guilty Conscience

You hang your head in shame knowing that you're to blame then realising life is not a game and that nothing will be the same Your decisions came at a cost looking back at all your lost at every opportunity you've tossed regretting every line you crossed Reeling from a broken heart but it was always you from the start you're the reason life fell apart and you've turned it into an art Paying the price for all your crimes could actually take a really long time in certain eyes you're worse than slime and your apologies aren't worth a dime It doesn't matter how hard you've tried or how many tears you've cried eventually the pain will subside to your circumstances you must abide Forgive your foes and embrace your friends cos only a few will be at there in the end just take your time and make amends and let your guilty conscience mend

Labels

Labels, we wear them so proudly and in vain we stand for them even if they drive us insane like labels of race, religion, gender, and orientation and we fight for them all through any situation We've worn them as long as we can remember like societies and clubs of which we are members even cliques of friends from school and beyond often come together because of a labeled bond The saddest part of labels is that they divide and yet we flaunt them with such ignorant pride they cause fights, war, and unnecessary conflicts and we don't see the consequences that they inflict To some, they invite exclusivity and create archetypes but they diminish individuality and invite stereotypes it can even be an association and not just a name but all they do is divide us and that's really a shame And yet here we are, still so ignorant and blind without even realizing what we do is unkind believing that we're still standing up for what's right while all we do

Unspoken

There's so much that goes unsaid so much unresolved and not put to bed and when we finally say it, it's too late the universe has already decided our fate If only we could all be so bold and say those things that go untold express the feelings hidden deep within and maybe we'll see something new begin We don't realise how much we suppress or the power of the words we don't express words like 'I'm sorry' and 'I'm miss you' get lost and we don't know what hiding them actually costs It's too late when we actually find out, we curse and moan that we didn't shout don't let anyone perceive you as weak just because you were afraid and didn't speak Be it joy, frustration, love or even anger use words wisely or you'll end up a stranger it's human nature that we don't want to get hurt but there's always a risk of ending up in the dirt Most times our actions speak louder than words we believ

Unnoticed

How do you find what you seek, if you feel but never speak? how could anyone really know, if you never let your feelings show? Life is all about taking chances more than words and a few glances if we don't try then what's the point? not doing anything will only disappoint We have to push ourselves to try things who knows what joy it may bring? not knowing is part of life's beauty even if it exposes the worlds cruelty Forget the stories your history has told, who knows what the future will hold? while life may not always go your way you'll meet interesting folks along the way Weighing pros and cons does take a toll and we must let go of what the world stole It's time we just enjoy our front row seats because there's no telling who we'll meet Nothing comes easy, we must take risks it's the only way to know why we exist stay in the shadows and you wont be missed so take that leap and don go unnoticed 

Old School Romance

Getting to know each other realizing there's no other and leaving all to chance like an old school romance butterflies in your stomach cos now its beyond platonic you found someone to live for its unconditional love at its core two hearts now beat as one a new journey just begun as night falls it gets all romantic under the stars, its like magic walking arm in arm enjoying the moonlights charm whispers of love in your ears taking away all your fear sharing sunsets and long walks going for drinks and long talks dinner, movies and date nights sometimes even silly fights it's a piece of heaven everyday living every possible cliche one kiss will have you reeling and it's truly the best feeling deep down you know it'll last regardless of creed or caste and despite the demons you face you end up in suits and white lace but that's a whole other journey and even though it wont be easy you'll see it through together from right now until f

Governance

Whatever happened to those days of old? When leaders fought with hearts of gold? For freedom, rights and fair treatment of all For peace and progress that would never fall When making a difference was everyone’s plan Not only cos it was right, but because they can We’ve been engulfed by so much corruption Pointless overspending and so much disruption So many people just can’t afford the debt No matter how much we pay, it’ll never be met At election time, there are so many false promises That end up just words that everyone misses It’s sad that we don’t see truth anymore, They play on our emotions and it’s all a show It’s the saddest truth of the world today, They commit the crimes and the price is ours to pay We have forgotten the power we have in our hands And our right to fight back and actually make a stand Our vote puts these selfish clowns into power Then we all complain when things end up sour Remember, our votes and voices can remove t

Bliss

Imagine this, wouldn't it be really nice? if everything was good and didn't just suffice like a day outdoors, when the weather was sunny not a concern in the world, least of all money Birds chirping, sitting way up in the trees and everything falling into place with ease a job that gives you everything you need recognition without delving deep into greed A partner, a confidant both loving and loyal with a heart of gold and the beauty of a Royal the only one who gets you and your every desire and a lover that craves you with eyes of fire Friends who show you both respect and love a crew that has your back when push comes to shove a family who loves and supports you through all and there's nothing on earth to make you feel small It's a perfect life without a worry in your heart nothing ever going wrong or falling apart two cars and a house with no mortgage or debt with food on the table and a dog for a pet Sounds amazing doesn't it? A dream c

Ode to my heart

There you go again, you're too damn easy it's driving me insane and making me queasy Stop falling at first sight! it's your biggest mistake so blind to wrong & right and to what's real and fake This is why you get hurt, cos you always jump the gun you'll just end up in the dirt thinking 'she might be the one' Learn to control yourself so that we can coexist let's get off this stupid shelf and things might get fixed Don't let people use you you're nobody's doormat just keep pushing through and ignore the backchat I think we can go far if we put aside our regrets for the stronger that you are, the stronger I will get

Introverts

Alone on purpose, and broken inside strong on the surface silently wiping tears aside Lost,lonely minds, protected by walls crowds are unkind yet still standing tall There's nothing to show, no words are spoken but behind closed doors the silence is broken The over-thinkers curse, thoughts in multitude and to make it worse there's solace in solitude Words with pen on paper, flowing smooth and true no foul, no harm, no caper just honest to a few Conversations are seldom, mainly with the closest around only a handful are welcome because trust isn't easily found To wounds of sticks and stones, the introvert never succumbed whether in public or alone always comfortably numb

Big Hugs

There's nothing on earth, like a long, warm embrace it's the most reassuring gesture, in the whole human race It's the ultimate show of love, affection in all its glory it's both hello and goodbye, and can tell its own story It's there in times of celebration, and in times of great sadness it's the best stress relief ever, cos it takes away life's madness Sometimes it only lasts a moment, that we treasure deep in our hearts it's effects cannot be described, and stay with us from the start It's a connection we can believe in, a feeling we just cant shrug and though we take it for granted, we just cant deny the power of a hug

Just My Opinion

We’re all allowed to speak our minds But should we if we’re being unkind? Who are we to step on another’s beliefs, And unnecessarily cause people grief? Our words alone can have a terrible effect When we don’t think of who they’ll affect We just say and do things without remorse Ignorant to the harm it may actually cause Some use opinions to spread hate and pain Deliberately hurting people for personal gain They prey on peoples lifestyles and choices without realizing the power of their voices  Having an opinion is a true god given right And when we express it we often lose sight Of the responsibility we have for word and actions And that we must accept people’s reactions One of our saddest truths despite everything Is that we forget that we’re all human beings We don’t have to step on another’s dominion We can live and let live but then that’s my opinion

Mocha

Its captivating aroma and scintillating taste Not one single drop will ever go to waste A fusion so great it will always be savored Cos nobody can question its amazing flavour You can’t put a price on this magnificent drink One little sip and you’re no longer on the brink It’s so relaxing and therapeutic in its own way Every sip is like a warm hug on a really cold day Best enjoyed in the company of good friends And the banter continues even after it ends Whether it’s venting or serious conversation It’s also great for a date or an intervention Even on the loneliest days, it’ll ease your mind Especially when the world is being really unkind It’s that perfect blend not too bitter not too sweet That makes a steaming hot Mocha an ideal treat

Tears

Why do we only cry behind closed doors? Has nobody ever cried in public before? We’re human beings after all, that’s a fact So why can’t we behave with a little tact? Tears are a human’s purest sign of emotion It is not a sign of weakness or a demotion For even the upmost joy can bring one to tears And so can the realization, of our biggest fears Have you ever cried at a movie at all? Or felt even the tiniest tear drop fall? Remember when you heard certain lyrics of a song? How can the world believe it’s wrong? Whether we realize it or not, it makes life grand It means we can relate and that we understand They should bring us closer and not tear us apart But these tough folks, don’t know where to start Tears makes us real, warm and maybe even bold As opposed to robotic, heartless and cold But then, people are horrid, selfish and cruel They think they’re strong, so they act like fools Tears are not something to laugh at or mock It’s something

Perception

Wow, I can’t believe I've been so blind as to why this world has become so unkind I almost ashamed that it took this long for me to understand that I was oh so wrong I've only blamed myself for all my scars never thinking once that I strayed so far my dependency on friends was a big mistake cos I couldn’t distinguish between real from fake I didn't care at all about how the world saw me cos ultimately, what you get is what you see now I understand why people just walk away guess people just got sick of seeing me this way true, we should never judge a book by its cover especially when someone’s life has turned sour but if they open up, regardless of a platform? do we walk away or help them weather the storm? most times we assume that they’re crying wolf even though we never really have any proof that people who cry out are nothing but faking imagine the toll that walking away is taking that's how unkind the world is and now I kno

Forgotten

It's amazing how life actually works and how people you trust, become jerks life's not meant to be easy, that's for sure and people's cruelty sure as hell has no cure It's sad fact of life that people come and go we fulfill a purpose till we aren't needed anymore loss is the hardest thing to deal with in our hearts however they leave us, we're always torn apart The pain that some ignore is all too real and it takes a long time for some souls to heal people see it as weak and just ignore the yelp not realising at all that it's all a cry for help Unfortunately that's just how people are all they do is pretend that they care they use, abuse, manipulate and ditch and they're the ones that always end up rich And yet, we still go to enormous lengths to help with every ounce of our strength even then they all walk away like we're rotten and all the good we've done, is simply forgotten 

Happily Ever After

It's what we all look for in life To be happy and free of strife While some have it pretty easy Others struggle and become needy It brings balance, yet it's not fair That some succeed with out a care It's hard watching through envious eyes Looking on at those who never really cry In a world where romance is dead We lay here all alone in our bed Wondering "what if that was me?" The perfect child with no ugly to see We blame ourselves for all our faults hurting instead of locking them in vaults In the end, we all want the same thing To be happy and enjoy what life brings To be with both family and friends Who love you and are with you till the end To live a life of mostly joy and laugther Would be nothing short of happily ever after

Inside Voice

It's almost an art form, bottling it all up Not saying a word and letting your blood boil Showing a smile to the world, staying strong Yet crying and letting go behind closed doors, Though it doesn't really work for everyone, Cos some hearts can only take so much Until they boil over and the rage kicks in And you lose control of your emotions Sometimes losing control is perceived as weak It ostracizes people and overshadows everything Any and all good deeds go down the drain pipe And you're left to tangle with your troubles alone But is it really weak to accept your pain? And want company during hard times? Is it really fair to ostracize the already lonely? When all they ever wanted was a friend? You feel your nightmares become real All your dreams dissappear before you And your past will haunt you everyday No choice, you just have to live through it Your heart, beating broken beats and so hollow That empty, lonely feeling of remorse inside The d

The Patriot

Defend the rights of everyone Not just the fascist beliefs of one Fight for peace and absolute unity Fight with pride and with dignity Don't fall prey to silly propaganda  Or someone's petty political agenda Stand up against racism and hate Instead, learn to love and appreciate Rise up against Lords of corruption Not with war, but peaceful disruption Fight for poor, weak and oppressed Say it loud, don't let it be suppressed Fight for the victims of senseless abuse For all genders, colours, castes and creeds Fight, with actions, words and deeds Bring honour to the people and the flag Without the guns, war paint and rags Violence should never be one's fate Cos true patriots defend without hate

33 and counting

33 years old, wow where did the years go? Time flies by so fast, you, cant take things slow And despite it all, I just can’t help wondering Could my life really get anymore interesting? My memory is both blessing as well as a curse At times it makes me feel that much worse 33 years of insanity pretty much from day one And lord knows, they haven’t always been fun I’ll always be grateful for all my experiences For my family, friends and my acquaintances I’m grateful too, for my enemies and foes Especially the ones responsible for my woes The choices I made weren’t always the best I know someday all my regrets will be at rest And for those who supported me through it all I am who I am because you didn’t let me fall  I’ve been privileged to know love in all its glory Despite the sad ends, they were amazing stories I’ve enjoyed life’s pleasures and I’ve felt its pain I’ve been through enough to drive a man insane I may not have achieved

The Great Outdoors

Can civilization progress without all the killing? It doesn’t take much; we just have to be willing People hunt for sport and poaching for the haul Selling skin & bones of creatures great and small Clearing out forests in the name of development Fairly certain slaughter is not what that word meant That’s the sad thing about this world, its run by greed Wonder how it came to this and who planted the seed The corporate's only want their pockets filled While the poachers just want their orders billed What if we all spend some time on conserving? Couldn’t we co-exist without the marauding? Game hunters stand next to their kills shamelessly And we sit here behind screens, pretty much aimlessly  Keyboard heroes spread their words all around But only a handful would actually get on the ground We have to stop taking this planet for granted          Protect our animals and get trees planted We’re not just killing animals, we're killing

Envy

Look at him, so handsome and smart Girls flocking around him, he’s like a work of art How he does it? Nobody can really say Imagine if someone looks at you this way? Look at her, so popular and beautiful Intelligent, funny and oh so graceful She can have anyone in the blink of an eye And all you can do is stare and sigh Look at them, such a close group of friends Confident that they’ll be together till the end Having each other’s backs through thick and thin If you had friends like that, how would life have been? Look at that family, so happy and loving Perfect in every way, with no pushing or shoving They’re like something out of a movie or a TV sitcom, And you just sit there, wondering where are they from? Look in the mirror, what do you see? A human being, young, strong and free Don’t worry about them or what the world sees in you Because someday, you'll be in the eye of envy too 

Words

Words, one of the most powerful forces on earth They can bring happiness and they can also hurt We take them for granted, we don’t really think That the things we say can leave us on the brink Words start wars and destroy without warning Spreading hatred and sending armies storming At the same time they can spread love and peace Bringing war to an end so that suffering will cease Words can tell stories both of fact and of fiction From poetry to music and other forms of diction They bring to light all your most intimate feelings Like a promise of affection that’ll leave you reeling Words can offend and break peoples hearts at will Destroying a person’s spirit with the pain they instil They can bully, shame and bring fear to peoples minds And turn a weakened soul in to one that’s unkind Words can also motivate, strengthen and inspire And bring to life all your inner most desires They can give a broken spirit a new outlook on life The right
