01:52 am have you ever asked yourself like why you so lonely? 01:53 am or empty? that maybe you give too much of your essence to people and never leave any of you for yourself 01:55 am i know i do 02:05 am and like that's maybe why i get so attached to humans *because in them, i find myself* 02:07 am i need to change, because things shouldn't be this way 02:10 am but it's hard sometimes you know, when most days you don't leave the house because you feel unworthy of the space you take up 02:16 am so you'd much rather disintegrate into soil because you've become all too familiar with people stepping over you and admiring the outcome of your beauty but never the roots of your pain 02:19 am i spend so much effort watering people in order for them to grow and hardly get enough sun shine to feed my own soul 02:25 am because i don't know how to do anything else but care for everyone but myself

Looking through the windows to the times that were my past You blink and they're forgotten, they leave our mind so fast Remember when you knew every program on tv How you knew what time they started from noon till almost three You knew each player on each team in every league there was But now you know you know no one and the reason is because We've gotten older, times are tough, our priorities have changed We can remember all these things again, if we'd only rearrange We look back and admire how things were simple then How we'd like to go back there in time and do it all again There've been improvements to our life since, but none that would mean more Than getting up and looking outside and finding fresh bread at your door. Folks our age miss the fifties and the sixties and the joys that they did bring We can't stand todays new music, these new bands can barely sing But if you listen close it's funny, it's not just us that miss the past Look at retro nights for eighties bands, they've sprung up really fast Our kids think going backwards might be better somehow too So, while you may not talk about it, they think the same as you Remember when the Beatles came and burst upon the scene Now, our grandkids like their music, they're the best that's ever been Nostalgia is emotional and I don't think it's a craze We all have got a reason for going to those days It might be just a teacher, how they treated you in school It might be for your self esteem, back then you were real cool But, whatever is the reason, we're here now, that's a fact But we have a sure fire method that;s sure to take us back Listen to some music, look at old time photographs You'll be taken back in time again to where you had some laughs A simple scent might set you free and move you forty years It might just be so strong that it would bring you right to tears So, take some time and ruminate on what it means to you You can travel back in time each day to nineteen sixty two Just keep your feet here, planted firmly on the ground Or they'll lock you up forever more, because your mind it is not sound Now, I'm off on a small journey, I won't be gone for long I hear Captain Fantastic starting up by Elton John.

When you know that life and death are one And nothing in the space divides; You realize that you're all alone There's no place you can run and hide. Your faults and sins are all your own You choose to feed which way they grow Good or bad, what become Inside, you hold the blame, you know. You would not, could not dare believe That life is all it seems to be; Some higher purpose intertwined Has built the hope and faith in me. How could one see the purple haze As sun retires to the night Without knowing God is there And He will aid me in this fight.

There Is a God
Every legend begins with a truth I've often heard it said And it makes me start to wonder About all the things I've read. Did Merlin really exist? Does magic live out there And if it does I wonder where. Atlantians may have acclimated In the ocean depths where they abide. They've learned to live and breathe In the waters where they reside. Maybe there's a whole new civilization Down on the ocean floor Where Neptune ad all the mermaids live, Those fantasies we adore. Every eye-drawing man I see I'm beginning to speculate Could it his werewolf blood That doubles my heart rate? That **** specimen of magnificent man Does he change when day becomes night? Does he thrive on the feels of adrenalin Or how easy he can cause fright. Does he run in a pack when the moon is full Does he lure women to his bed What determines our strength of will? That tiny human thread. In the dark of night across the crowd His eyes lock onto me; And though I long to pull away He's all that I can see. I see the tiny point of fangs As he leads us to solitude And I feel the rush of adrenalin As sure as I feel the doom. ****** awake by the vivid dreams The memories begin to flood, But reality quickly opens my eyes When I see the drops of blood. There are predators out there in the streets Not all the human kind, And fear of what we don't understand Encourages us to be blind. Those things that terrify us The predator in the night; We are so foolish to assume They're not there in the light.

Legends
When the son said "Father What must I do' I'll do it no matter the cost." The Father replied, "There's only one thing to do You must follow the road to the cross." Mocked and scorned and beaten He gave his life For the lost; He did not wish to go But he followed the road to the cross. The way to the cross isn't easy It's narrow and it's straight; But it's a road that must be taken If we're to enter Heaven's gate.

We Too Must Die to the Flesh
When pain hits When its aim is you Aiming to knock the wind out of you Trying to devour you me When the hand of betrayal suffocates you me When you cant scream Trying to hold your composure When you cant cry, cause crying would be too weak And all the strength you thought you had is fleeting Your heart grows weary Fluttering, gasping... Beep beeping... When pain is you Me.

When Pain is You.
Its the season to be jolly Its a feeling in the air The desire to give, to spend, to share To eat - drink and be Merry. You call it, I call it , we call it the “Spirit of Christmas” But what is this christmas spirit? Where is the ‘holy’ in the spirit of christmas? I ponder, I question Where is the christ in Christmas? Where is the real Christ in Christmas? Do you know? Someone once told me Its the precious gift from Heaven Given many years ago, She said; Long time ago in the Bethlehem so the Holy Bible say ….Something about ‘christmas day’ So I ponder where is the ‘Real Christ’ in this Christmas day Oh! someone’s gonna be upset! Its a pagan tradition that the church adopted! I pose this question, did you adopt it to celebrate it, the way the pagans do?! Did you? I hear an objection I see it on your faces... You say its the celebration of the birth of our King Should the celebration be subjected to just one day, one month? I don't want to stay too long But, its just that I have some much to say Jesus the son of God was birthed, to live, die for You and I. Do we only reflect on his death on easter day? So why should his birth be any other way?! I pose this to you… If it had not been for his birth. would there have been the shedding of the blood? He was given freely, but with cause For God so loved the world that He gave El dio, ll a donne, He gave, He gifted his only son So where is the Real Christ in Christmas? Its not the tree, the pepper lights Its not what you can buy Thats is not what Christmas is OR should be for us No! it not, what you can get, its not even what you can give Its the reflection, homage to the birth of our King I have stated my points I have a final suggestion Look within and ask one question What does Christ in Christmas mean to you?

Look within and realize why we’re living. We are children of the kingdom We live to worship our King Worship not our spouse, the car nor the house Worship not intellectually Worship spiritually Worship His divinity If we were of the world, the world would love its own But because we are not of the world, We worship He who sits on the Throne. We worship Him because His ways are just and good Because He alone is Majestic. Holy and truly WONDERFUL See, we are children of the Kingdom Saved by Amazing Grace So we worship in spirit and in truth The author and finisher of our faith

No! You just don’t understand I am not a traitor That is not my intention I don’t regard myself as being a colour hater My intentions are good I only desire to stand out Not to blend in. No! You just don’t understand They don’t want a filthy raven But a holy dove Don’t tell me I’m foolish For hungering after a look of a few There are thousands of black masses But only a few of you Please just listen I am uncomfortable, I am tormented My soul is itchin’ beneath my skin. Release me from this pain I’m in No!! You! Just! Don’t! Understand!! I do not despise the Race Just the colour of my Face In essence my decision will not change And now before has become after My face has pealed, 2 months since healed The attention I once craved, I now wish will go away Behind my back, I only hear snickers Sadly this time, my fate I cannot change So after all, I guess you were right It was I who didn’t understand

I am here to set up factions that causes separation I have no regards for your occupation Pastor or a member of the congregation I have no respect for time or place, I am the only one who can separate you from the one above You may not think so But I am The root that causes the other reasons, to let it seem that there are more than one reason. Well for this reason, I have all the power to use my own reason, To cause mankind to reason, to reason their own ways and formulate their own beliefs and desires To use that same reason to teach their offspring’s of more ungrateful acts. I am just one word, with three letters Yes, I am that small but yet so BIG I am Anti –God, I am Anti Christian, And don’t get me wrong, I am not just against Christians Because I ****** your babies, 5 years and under I **** your precious little ****** daughters I sadomize your cute boys As I said before I don’t care who or what you are No matter how long you live, (Trust Me) I am never far To some I come sudden, to others, I roll smooth, slick subtle. To some I am F.U.N, pure pleasure I am in your music, your movies I am in your heart, all of it. I am what I am. I am disobedience The retrospect of disrespect I must complete my mission till your last breath, Until my death Til there is nothing left. Who Am I? I am S.I.N.
