Invisible Man

There’s always one in your world A man you never see Not the kind that gets unfurled In your reality There’s always one, who stands nearby But never fits your gaze Not the one who catches your eye Or sets your heart ablaze There’s always one, who treats you right Without the need to show No grand display, no need for light Just more than you may know There’s always one, you turn away Without a second thought Not the one you choose to stay Or someone that you’ve sought There’s always one, who holds his place While others take the stage A quieter strength, a steadier pace That never fits the page There’s always one, who plays it safe Who doesn’t push too far Who doesn’t live beyond the waif Of whom you think we are There’s always one, you never pick Though he would always stay Not fast, not loud, not chasing quick Just built a different way There’s always one, the same as them The ones you run toward Just without the brighter hem Or edges you’ve adored There’s always one, an invisible ma...

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 create wars and unnecessary conflicts and we don't see the consequences that they inflict To some they invite exclusivity & create archetypes but they kill individuality and invite stereotypes Race, religion, clubs, or whatever, it's all the same All they do is divide us and that's really a shame Yet, here we are, still so ignorant and blind without even realizing these labels are unkind believing that we're standing up for what's right while in reality we're addin...

Gentlemen

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...
