FAILURE

FAILURE

"Life can only make so much happen, the rest is up to you"

 

All my life all I needed was a chance

Never did life think twice about me.

- I've aged broke, bare handed broke -

All I needed was one chance alone

One chance, to either succeed or choke.

BULLSH*T

BULLSH*T 

"Every self-made woman knows when a man is f&cking around" 

Keep me on my toes

Secretly creep, hide.

Call me her name 

Not to, you have tried.

- Bullsh*t me -

You stain me dumb

Just so f&cking Naive.

I watch you daily

Bullsh*tting me.

As if I f&cking believe,
Wait till you see me leave.

I F&CKING CARED

I F&CKING CARED

"B&tch, I was the one who placed that smile on your face"

Go ahead and trash my heart

Then again, its been f&cked before.

You wouldn't be the first 

Nor do I expect you to be the last.

- F&CK IT -

Here, take it, make it yours to break 

Don't worry, I really no longer care.

Just remember one thing, I f&cking 

Cared for you when no one gave a f&ck.

NONCHALAN

NONCHALANT 

"Don't you dare force me to care for something I care nothing about"

I'm just so f&cking amazed

How they say that I've crazed.

Lacking stability and patience

F&ck you, and your presence.

Who are you that I have to care

All you get is an unwanted stare.

- I hold no trick up my sleeve -

I'm not sorry & not interested in you

I only have so much f&ck to give.

TO: BEING YOUNG

TO: BEING YOUNG

"My childhood blames me for my life problems. But I had to grow up"

Only yesterday did we have our happy days

Now we are grown & heading our separate ways.

I wish we could share a moment thats too old

Labeling us immature, but who really cares? 

All we do is stress over money and living lavishly

Forgetting to have fun before we stop breathing.

I just want to run backwards once more, just once

I would do it all over again, repeating it all. Twice.

PICTURE ME

PICTURE ME

"People always seem to be fooled by our make believe happiness"

Picture me away from broken

In happy stories spoken.

Full of laughter in my lungs

Surrounded by supportive hugs.

- Wait, adjust your lens -

Away from the mistakes I make

Thats the picture you should take.

Develop my film in shallow water

Right now, I can't sink any lower.

FALLING FORM GRACE

FALLING FORM GRACE

  

"I'm falling from angry heavenly clouds"

Catch me, place me

Right in your arms.

Im falling from grace,

Heaven has ran out of space.

I give you my load to take

and perhaps my heart to break.

LEAVING ME

LEAVING ME

"I hope you never come back into my life again and again"

Don't worry, you will miss me

And you will be at your lowest.

Run me away, push me gone

You will miss me deep in your chest.

I will take from you nothing at all

When you crash, your love will stall.

Falling into a deep depression 

You will realize my love's devotion.

YOU LOST ME

YOU LOST ME

"I first discovered forever when I watched it end, alone"

I will shower you in silver and gold

Or whatever much for, our love was sold.

I plead you, I'm asking you to stay 

There is no need for us to part so far away.

Please baby, please stay.

I will seek help, I swear I will

Even if I have to go out of my way and kill.

Just let me hold you once more

And you will feel that my heart is sore.

Please baby, please don't head towards the door.

I take full responsibility, blame me 

I just need one more chance and you will finally see,

"That we were meant to be"

THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY

THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY

"At times we lose ourselves even when we need one another the most in love"

Just like you, 

I too never meant my last goodbye.

But yet 

We parted onto separate sides.

Never did we

Look back once that broken night.

I guess 

We just had enough of it all.

We slowly parted

Awaiting for a single name's call.

We remained silent

Our avaricious souls yearning for silence.

Our broken hearts parting even further

We carried opposite halves in our distance.

I wished you back that very night

Alone was all I had from you and it's fright.

I blame you, I blame me 

I blame us both for the lack of everything. 

Perhaps it was meant to be

But we must both agree that slowly we're dying.

HER & I

"Scraping my knees with great pleasure, I've fallen for her"

I'm amazed,

Speechless at best. 

The way she cares

She chooses me first.

I hold her mine

While she rests on my chest.

Excuse me tarnished.

Long silky black haired

With full lips, bold in red.

I walked all over men 

And complain they never dared.

The sun perfectly kissed my skin

Complementing my dress.

"Hugging my waste so thin"

I broke many hearts by the millions

There was no such thing a s special him.

It was all about me.

The world around me calmed. 

Your face and mine alike

We both shared a similar smile.

I know that with time you will grow

I just hope that away, you will never go.

"At the end, those that claim 'they will' might not even make it to heaven"

We break bread in church 

Forgiving sinful hearts of hurt.

The new falls behind from front

Religiously winning the race first.

Gossip cups overflowing wet

Saturated two faced secrets un-kept.

Preachers of words changed

Publicly crucified saints outraged.

Blessed offers to heavens tall

Hoped showers of blessings and love.

I pray for my salvation from the bottom

With desires of eternal living up above.

AFRICAN WAR CHILD

AFRICAN WAR CHILD

"I was raised away from peace on war filled fields"

Heavenly clouds traveling across tormented skies

They leak staining us clean every time God cries.

Abused souls to tormented minds to a frustrating greed, 

transforming hearts into stones that bleed.

Cursed by the concubine relation to the world

Drenched red by stones they abuse us far away from our needs.

The naked truth is displayed through war torn fabrics of peace

Two faced political powers look away from us all, war child seeds.

This is a serious matter to me, I have been through a civil war and that moment in my life showed me the worst of Africa as we all hid in one room while RPG rockets whistled through the nightly skies. War is no stable ground, especially when tormenting innocent souls. I hope to aware everyone of everything that is still going on in present day Africa. God bless my brothers and sisters the world has forgotten.

LATE FOR LOVE

LATE FOR LOVE

"Love takes time, and timing is the worst of my problems"

I will break time's hand

That lacks timing for me.

- Pushing me late to love - 

Dragging my chances slow

From where I desire to be. 

I will break the very hand

Pushing me to sit and wait.

Love rushes past me, away 

From where I should stand.
