My name is Lajah and I am constantly hiding behind metaphors.
I will wait and ache the pain of leftover words and unstable remains And I heard feet tapping. to the beat humming this song played on repeat. I will hold grip to what you said when your mind was hazy waiting for bed. And I heard feet tapping to this lingering song. It is getting much louder and I seem less strong. I don’t think Ill fall in love again but I will forgive you. Forget what I said They skipped a beat and the song kept going they lost the tempo but the world kept spinning. I know you believe I am to blame but i am tired of giving all to my name. does this song move too fast or I go too slow The beat is everywhere my head will soon blow. So I guess they're right; it is my mind that you reign. Time for I to walk before I go insane. … insane. …. This song … oh this song … stop the music … it hurts to hear … the truth.

Tap
And the bird, he sang to a rotting beat behind missiles and prickles and bombs thrown in the wind. But the bird, he sang to a lost melody of the lack of humanity who foreshadowed tragedy. He whistled all he could but the gun beat seemed to rule and he sang to ignore, to deny transition. And the bird, he silenced. The last bird flew away up to the stars where all the civilised remain.

Warrior's song
Shriveled & shrunken. Intoxicated & drunken. Hung over & agitated. Mild to moderate brain activity. Common sense & basic reason lacks mental ability. Bad with money & squanders financial stability. Passing a psychological mental health evaluation not quite. Kept in a straight jacket & sedated in isolation they do spit & bite. They go through everyone's trash day & night. They panhandle at the street lights. They have tempers & pick fights. Nothing they do is legal or right. Slobs with no jobs. They lack work ethics. The sight & stench of them is sick. They're sad story is lies & tricks. Not a truth that sticks. They cuss & their pocked face oozes **** Their frontal lobe is filled with dust. About telling your teacher the truth they get homicidal & make a fuss. They drive a piece of **** car consisting of smog & rust. Getting arrested for 365 × 3 + 2 counts of child **** is never a bust. Keep your children away from drunks. Some drunks get violent, beat you & lock you on a trunk. Most pedofiles & rapists are drinkers. Not religious or moral thinkers. With shingles, hpv virus, ****** & boyles. Zero morals as hideous as an ugly *** gargoyle. Enjoy arguing,  screams & shouts. Daily drunk driving & behind the wheel blackouts.

Innocence Unattended
Back in the Kindergarden times, When we thrived on nursery rhymes, When we were grasping our tables, And learning morals through fables. While studying the consonants, And forgetting our vowels, We'd mew like cats &hoot; like owls. When a smile could make amends, And bridge  gaps between feuding friends. We would conjure tales in our heads, And carry no worries to our beds. When we would join in a chorus and  sing, Because awkwardness was an unheard thing. When appearances were an afterthought, And happiness in wealth wasn't sought. the nose would never cease to leak, We'd prance around tongue in cheek. Toothless grins and scabbed knees, Were sufficient to charm and please. With No attempts to please through  flattery, thumping your friend didn't amount to battery. Childish mirth and innocent revelry, is nothing but a distant memory. So now I chide and mockingly grin, With hope of reviving the lost child within.

Don't grow up
Pills, pills for the mentally ill The more you take, the worse you'll feel So down the hatch Yep down your throat Very soon you'll be wearing this coat A hug me jacket tarnished in white With buckles and straps wound so tight But for now some side effects I wrote Down here on this pretty little note Increased thoughts of suicide And harsh voices to which you can't hide Nausea, drooling, and anxiety too And whoever seems to be "after you" We'll put you to sleep You won't make another peep Strap you to a cozy bed where you'll slumber Pump you till you're as cool as a cucumber To which we'll add you to our lovely garden No ifs, buts, or beg your pardons What's the matter? You seem unwell You're as mad as a hatter This I can tell So don't start a spell Don't start a clatter We'll pick up those pieces to which your mind has shattered Just take this pill In fact why not stay You're better off here anyway!

Pills!
It's raining, it's storming The tools are conforming Society will be the death of me Please pills, don't let me wake in the morning It's sleeting, it's snowing Their plastic smiles are glowing Put your make up on, dignity gone Make sure your "made in China" tag isn't showing Its windy, the sun is shining! Their ignorance is blinding! No hope for mankind, I've lost my mind There is no silver lining

Society's Nursery Rhyme
Welcome to a world full of individuality But don't let that fool you *** it's full of hypocrisy So hold on dearly to your sanity Or else you'll end up a reject thrown out just like me Because people are only as good as society let's them be And soon you'll see The true beauty In Anarchy Because sometimes you gotta bleed in order to see clearly Behind the masks of those who appear so cheerfully There are scars so deep with souls so sickly Minds corrupted by mental disease and PTSD We don't get comfort no we don't get empathy We can't be dragging people down because we're not their responsibility So we continue to sing our songs on this sinking ship lost out at sea Because we couldn't be what they wanted us to be

There's No "ME" in Order
I can't be without my imagination... meditation is to surf through the flow of thoughts to get more into a positive state of mind Sometimes in negative tone Sometimes a nightmare alone Sometimes I am drowning deep... suffocating.. barely breathing Sometimes I submerge struggling to breathe on the surface... Sometimes on romantic moods Sunbathing at a scenic beach or dancing , kissing romantically in the rain My adventurous thoughts my secret rendezvous... are all mine and mine alone... Then I am back on my computer.. typing words The beauty of a poet's mind is beyond explanation...

Imagination...
1. There will be a day when you will stay in your room for the entire night and feel your heart throb from whatever problems you have been phased with. I want you to feel the pain and agony of being broken. I want you to look up begging for help but nobody being there for you. I want you to sob your eyes until they are all dried out. This may sound harsh but this is feelings that are better off healing themselves instead of becoming dependent on someone else's happiness. Maybe after you do this you will have an epiphany. You will look down at your wavy brown hair and think about how small your problem truly is. Then you will learn how to mend your broken soul. Once you do so, I allow you to come out of your cocoon of misery and learn how to fly.

To my future daughter No.1
I'm that guy I'm that girl i'm on the sidelines i see the world i watch the plays i sit through days take in rays and analyze your ways I am the one asking: how do we survive? Don't judge the scars, you fake-tanned sheep I've become this strong-willed Moonchild without you and your magazines I don't need your weight-loss tips and and 25 new *** positions So I drowned for awhile..... we all gotta sink hit bottom then we can push off the rocks, break free of the waves and fly Or maybe we make it to the surface only to float for a time and an aeon Who will judge us for the time we spend on ourselves? DO NOT EVER Become stagnant Let your life ebb and flow NEVER BE LONELY your strength is within you reach inside oh my darling reach for you own soul don't wait for someone else to tie their strings to your beating heart and tug do it yourself. you are only you your strength and your quick wit your lightness and love of the darker humors the gentle touches, soft weeping the lines of your body and your eyes brightening when they recognize my face You are everything you were meant to be at this moment But in the next EVOLVE
