Anger and pain in an instant all washed away,
My guilt and shame still decided to stay.

I hear it and I know I wouldn't
It calls me and I know I shouldn't.

I played it and let it play me.
I broke it, but I was the one who needed fixing.

Love and spotlight all fell at my feet,
Glory and praise all thrown at it.

Beautiful and majestic it sounds.
But within its soul, anxiety and insecurity clouds.

Once you start to play, there's no turning back.
Don't lose your focus and remember to stay on track.

Give into its sounds but ignore its calls.
This day I mark before you all.

Play wisely....
Everyone has their own way of reliving stress. My own way is music, and writing. This as well is my favorable instrument, and I desperately want to understand it and play it.

It was a sorrowful night,
As our youths filled the streets with flags,
Experiencing the discomfort of independence.

To every soul that night,
Our leaders attached a price tag.
Out we came seeking for peace,
Not wanting to fight,
But our request for peace is seen as a threat to our so called leaders.

The eagle weak,
The horses worthless,
The boutique of flowers withered,
The fertile soil barren,
The wavy black path ******.
A moment of silence,  
To all our heroes who passed on for justice.

To us who sees these days,
Days when misery is made easily from sorrow,
Speak of these dark age as history.

60 years weaker and of the worst age.
Multiplicity and Hopelessness,
Violence and Regress,
All on a dark age.

I'm a monster in your head,
Never was I under your bed,
You can run, but me you can't escape

Hide if you must
Sleep if you will,
Your fears remains forever my strength,
In your dreams, you I await

Am sorry  I hurt you,
Am sorry  I failed to comfort you,
Am sorry  I ignored you,
Am sorry I failed to speak when I was told to,

Am sorry my faithfulness and loyalty weren't pleasing enough,
Am sorry I failed to fight back,
Because I wasn't brave enough.

But one thing am not sorry for,
Is telling you the truth.

Truth that you're rude,
Mean,
Heartless,
Arrogant,
Flamboyant,

And truth that you are of no value to me.
It hurts to be left out

Sad
A face with a smile
Inside hope lies ,

A tear with emotions
Sets out a path with motions,

A room of truth,
held strong  with darkness

Fear told untitled as a lie,
Burning waves and forgotten cries

Men sing from a dark empty soul,
To hide reality and dream a fantasy.

Before I want you
I have to need you,
Before I want your love
I have to be your number one,
Before I get to keep you
I gonna have to treat you like royalty.

To my work I pour out my heart,
My soul starting to loose control,
My moments I spend quiet,
I long to stare into tomorrow.

Silent hours ,faster it passes me by,
Day and night, I wait for my moment,
Spring and summer, autumn and winter ,
None stopped to say hi.

I won't hesitate
I won't doubt
I won't worry about failing
I won't worry about falling
I was born for this
I am gonna succeed

No matter  how long it take,
It's just a matter of time.
