Everyone
is living out
their own brand
of mediocrity--
nothing stellar
occurs outside of
humble parts
coming together
and turning into
stardust.
Sometimes my heart breaks when I recall that the people in my life aren't any better or worse off than I am, and that the small moments are what make my heart long for eternity. We'll be alright.
tame your demons
broken voices
persistent choices
mix your familiar freedom tones
do not trust all that you see

sun block the arrows
blind as night
clear as day
shadows created by your light
water pulls you with the moon
limping along like whitened coal

stealing stars
on borrowed time
familiar faces break into pieces

character confessions reveal your judgements
ice cold face teared with drops
licking flaming all that is

look at the stars
                              isn't it bizarre
I see you up there
like a tiny flare
                              in that huge sky
-
you left me
                              in this world to die
                                 we could've gone together
                                         but just like the weather
      you're unpredictable
     but isn't this just typical
-
                I believe in love
                  so we will reunite above
as our children will gaze at us
I gaze at you
well, I technically mean that person is dead. just saying if you don't get it.

I read somewhere,
If you can't sleep at night
It's because
You are awake
In someone else's dream...
and Now I Know
Why I am
Still wandering
In the hour
When the night breaks away
from the day
and the orange streaks
Paint the sky with color
My Dear!
Can you stop dreaming of me?

Simply Lost
You just don't understand me.
I feel like I'm talking to a ******* wall.
And to be honest.
I'm done.
And tired.
I'm tired of having this fake smile plastered on my face.
Everything isn't all fine and dandy.
I'm. .. Lost.
I'm outcasted.
And no matter how much I say I accept it...
It doesn't make me feel like I belong anywhere.
I belong no where.
I don't belong here.
Im sorry.  
But this girl   has forever stopped smiling.
And no this isn't my suicide note.
Believe me,I wish it was...
This is a piece of paper... with a bunch of truth written on it.

And these truths are my feelings deep down.
The feelings that created these scars.
The feelings I try so desperately to hid.
Yeah. There's nothing for me here. Is what I think. I'm just wasted space.
I don't belong in this world of...perfects.
Im just a girl who doesnt feel that im good enough.
On the outside I smile like everythings fine.
But on the inside I break and crumble wishing these days would finally be over.
I try to think happy. But all I get in return is rejection?
No matter how much I sing beautiful day by U2 or Bad Day...
My life just doesn't turn around.
I don't have one friend that I can talk to.
And I can't talk...because...
My problems. I just can't  I convey.

WILLIAM WORTHLESS
there was a little husky as furry as can be
he had dream one day he would learn to ski
he made himself some skis from two bits of wood
made them nice and neat and to fit just like they should
headed for the mountains so he could have a go
to see if could ski in the winter snow
he gave himself a push then began to slide
down a great big ***** then down the mountain side
he  had learn to ski and he was very good
and happy with his skis that he had made from wood.

Prejudice

me
Of Nannies ‘n houses ‘n Pink Flamingos
Cars ‘n clothes ‘n foreign lingoes
The rich hate the poor, the poor hate the rich
Did you see “Her” today?
Boy, she sure is a *****.

How did they get here, a chauffeur you say?
‘Cause Mom and Dad are Always away.
They remembered her birthday
Or so said the staff
A party, a clown
Just make her laugh

The rich hate the poor and the poor hate the rich
Did you see “Her” today?
Boy, she sure is a *****.

He stood on the corner outside a shack
Schoolbooks in hand, his lunch in a sack
He remembered his birthday
Or so said his mom
His dad wasn’t drunk
Just tired ‘n run down.

The bad hate the good and the good hate the bad
Did you see “Them” today?
Boy, they sure did look sad.

All the dreams and the dollars
Or missing of such
Builds a foundation or makes us a crutch
Better built on kindness, compassion and love
Understanding that all are the same from above

We all hurt the same deep in our heart
Forgotten, abused, life plays its part
Dressed up in spangles, bobbles or beads
A yard full of flowers, garbage or weeds
Under the crust is a person who bleeds

The bad hate the good and the good hate the bad
Did you see “Them” today?
Boy, they sure did look sad.

Apa yang salah pada diriku?
Membuka lembaran lama, mengenangmu
Menangis lagi, mengingat kamu
Membayangkan wajahmu
Mengingat raut senyum indahmu

Apa yang salah pada diriku?
Mencuri bagian hidupmu
Menyimpannya di memoriku

Apa yang salah pada diriku?
Bergerak pun enggan
Berjalan pun aku tak mampu
Pikiran ini tak terfokus
Karena tergenangi kenangan yang lalu

Apa yang salah pada diriku?
Menunduk bersandar dagu pada lutut
Berdoa, meminta pada-Nya

Apa yang salah pada diriku?
Berucap pun aku tak sanggup
Hanya bisa mendengar lagu, dan aku ingat kamu
Untuk berbaring lagi punggungku hampir runtuh
Duduk pun tak bisa lagi

Apa yang salah pada diriku?
Melototi layar putih
Hanya ada putih

Apa yang salah pada diriku?
Mata ini tak mau tertutup, tak bisa tidur
Terjaga siang dan malam
Aku bernafas seakan tak ada lagi udara
Aku melihat seakan tak ada lagi hal yang nyata
