Pain left a signature. Look at my scars; you’d swear I got scars because the wounds healed. But it still hurts in my brain, near the apex of my broken soul. These scars are a reminder not to trust or love again. I took the lessons like a heart attack. You’d love the old me; I wonder how he’s doing. Old scars bleed when memories vivid. Now you know why I despise déjà vu. “Stop asking questions if you’re not lookin’ for an answer,” they said. “If it’s broken, use it as it is, and leave it as it was,” they said. These scars been talking lately. These thoughts—I mean demons—been leading me through a dark path. I am made of consequences of my old scars.

Old scars
I am an endangered species, a masterpiece in plain sight. There is more beyond this beauty, hidden from the untrained eye; only shallow-minded creatures chase distant horizons. These words are profound, i know but is there value in treasure found where nothing is deep, dark, or cold? This is not a threat in disguise, only a reminder whispered through time. Use me wisely.

Use me wisely
I might as well write about it again, I mean it’s all I know, And it seems like i can not abracadabra it away. It’s funny how a phoenix can rise from the ashes, Yet a pure but not innocent soul can be beyond repair. It’s a conundrum only if you think about it You might as well quit again I mean that’s all you know. Been wearing the same mask for quite awhile now Their shoe size is bigger than mine I feel sorry for my shadow, Poor thing is following a dead end. The person in my head is a mute It feels scripted doesn’t it? If you can relate, you need help my friend You might as well write about it.

I might as well write about it
I wrote a novel, only I can read Deep down in my personal library A hidden quiet but loud room Only I have access to this doom My heart the paper I bled on it Blood my ink, help me speak It's loud and clear I'm a pain addict I breathe better with a pen in my hand Sounds disturbing of course I'm sad It feels right when I write on the sand A tour in the darkness I hear voices Write or die, face down I'm on my knees My heart certainly bears my mind malice Somebody help me, I'm a pain addict

Pain addict
It's raining daily there's no hope Was born to fade, to die, was never told No gain more pain, I'm cold Scars on my knees, I pray to die, I'm old Death my frienemy, you got me sold It's dawn I'm a pawn, where's God On and on I weep, I sob poor widow My heart sank, ohh heavy load Postponed but will come, free me from my thoughts Pay me with torture, put my life on pause Out loud I cry, I lied, help me overdose Drowning but dry I'm a dead rose Hold on my soul, it's time to go.

Tears of a slave
Down South Down south it remain worthless Juveniles grew artificial beards Why listen while you're deaf A careless generation ready to rest They fear not death down there Lot pointing fingers to the maker Faith the last hope of a victim Why believe a man you've never seen A mystery left unsolved to the little minded Survival of the fittest what a fatal play No drinks no food just graves Death a habit of shame An epidemic factory of ancestors Death the predator himself is confused Karma is indeed a ruthless reminder The beginning of the end arrived All though the question arise What if it's a dream they didn't perish
