Success is being happy
when you're enemies want you miserable
Because they'll know you'll never let them win.
I've been told that I have a double life
I never really noticed but if that's the case
I see it as my own private paradise.
Either be happy with what you have, make the best of it or change it, if anything just stop being so bitter.
If you ruin me
I will just build myself back up
sorry it took you a while for you to see
I have a gypsy spirit
all I want is to be free
the sound of a place beautiful and far away
I can hear it! I need a place where I can be me.
I need to put my soul back into place
back before it became shattered with many heart breaks.
I wish to be the calm person I once was,
not someone who becomes angry
just because. Once what is left of the toxins go away
I hope that I will find me again and will be here to stay.
I dreamt last night that you were screaming and calling my name.
I laughed because then you could finally feel my inner pain. I will never know if this dream was true but I would be grateful only if you knew.

Why did you get your head stuck in hell
But your appearance stuck in heaven?
Did you not realize I couldn't resist you?
My heart can't take the pain any longer
Every step back you take,
Pieces of my heart break off and turn to dust so black,
That it matches your eyes.
Day by day you break me
But nothing can make me
Feel any less about you
Than I already do.
I've walked many places
Many journeys unspoken of
Inner cities of my mind
Underground railroad
The streets of Salem
Marching for the word
A whisper in a city's dream

I looked to see the faces
A look of determination
As their stomach starts caving in
Ribs poking out
Mountains of disire
Watching...
As the white man gobbles food
Grinning for another day
American flag flying high
Confederate sitting beside
Laughing at fallen man
Monsters of the cotton field
Fear nesting in remains
Bullets holes holding on
A home for sin

I am hungry and tired
Melting from the pits of hell
Or the ground of more to come
I'm sick
Needing treatment
Needing king
To help me march
And the true god to help me sing

And we watch
Oh we watch for hope to rain
Needing freedom on our plate
Believe me
We all are starved
My first spoken word

to still be travelling when in fact ****** you do not go anywhere
is one of the greatest comforts a mind can experience
