I do my best to hide my pain
They see my eyes wild and grand
They say I'm insane
I congratulate myself amid their reprimand
I've  successfully contained my pain
They never understand
So, I never explain
They can't stop my campaign brand
Neither can the pain
I

I see them and I feel
Like am one of them
When people look they see
Torn barefoot battered people
When I look I see
Resilience,strength and determination
To be absolutely free
They are called different names
Coz they are the different ones
Lunatics,saddist,psychos,wackos
But deep inside you something echoes
All this could have been avoided
If only someone cared enough
Once upon a time they were well
With no one to tell
Their struggles and hell
And cos no one cares enough
They were consumed by that hell
If only someone cared enough
I see them and I see no condemnation
But I feel an obligation
Like an alpha to his pack of rabid wolves
To seek their redemption
perhaps if I cared enough
if I loved them enough
There can still be redemption
Albert Einstein said"there is no genius without a hint of madness"
So if someone had cared
All madmen could have been
"Mentalย ย geniuses"
I see them and I see hope
Cos I TRULY CARE!!!
I CARE!!!
I CARE!!!
I CARE!!!
I CARE!!!
I CARE!!!
I CARE!!!
I CARE!!!
I CARE!!!
I CARE!!!
It's about time someone cares
Away with the "I'm fine" template"
Show real care

I hear its love when I see the stars in your eyes
I hear its love when I see the sun on your face
I hear its love when I think of you on Stormy days
I hear its love when I stare into your eyes
But when I put extra efforts to stay
Away from you
Does it mean I'm not in love with you?
GENIE Apr 2021
Its my life and passion
My dream and nightmare
Its my storm and calm
Its my best and worst
Others may live for love
Or whatever else they want
I live for poetry
And it lives in me

The man:
Wish I could say I love you
I just can't
Wish I could lie to you
I'll be lying to myself
Don't cry,
Go find happiness
You deserve peace
I can't promise either
I've been hurt
I won't hurt you
You seek deception
I won't give you
No worries,
This shoulder is yours,
But not this heart.
I'm not sorry,
Cos I'm not hurting you.
We will never hurt the ones we love
GENIE Feb 2020
Dear love,
         This wasn't our agreement
We agreed to stay away
We agreed to enstrangement
Why then did I find you this way
In my love-tight compartment
I was safe in this fortress
Why then do you bring duress
I'm falling for the wrong one
And it hurts
More than a stun gun
Yes it hurts
Lovehurts Lovehurts Lovehurts

It's a free world so make the best use of it
They are free words, use as you deem fit
Abuse me
Mock me
Scandalize me
Doubt me
It all don't matter
But don't try to stop me
Cos I will burn you,
And I will change you
Of course for the better
GENIE May 2020
It'sme, the me you expected the worst of,
Its me, are you surprised????
Well, so was I!!!!!!
I'm surprised at me
GENIE Feb 2020
I woke up this morning,
To an empty bed,in a dark room
Though its hotly sunning
I feel dark and doom
Oh no,not again
I feel sudden pain
So its been a dream all along
Yet the scent of you still strong,
You are a lifetime away,
And though I find a way,
You'll still won't be there
Though I trek the universe,
I'll still wake to a nightmare
And though the universe
Showers me with love and care
So long as you're not there,
It still will be a dark scare
Cos without you there,
It still will be a dark room,
It still will be doom,
It still will be JUST ME

To me, life simply means
LIVING IN FEAR EVERYDAY
OR
LIVING IN FAITH EVERYDAY
You lived either way yesterday
Live your fullest TODAY
GENIE Feb 2020
I have resisted love
To the point of immortality
Now my defences dissolve
I found love,
I found mortality
Though I enjoyed the cold
Of immortality
I found a longing for mortality
Though all it promises is hurt,
I'm longing for love

Darkness, A slight headache.
I opened my eyes, More darkness.
Last I remembered was drinking merrily
From the cup you offered
I trusted you, and the friendship you offered
And it's got me LOST.
GENIE Feb 2020
Of what use is a love that keeps you safe and sound
Of what use is a life no adventures abound
What is love with no anchor to hold ground
When mighty winds it's fragile  vessel toss around
The purest love in Christ is found
Who for love, his blood spilled to the ground

Love oh love
Love true love
Of this game i am sick
This game of hide and seek
Hide from me no more,
Take me by surprise
Let me seek no more
Lest unbelief arise
Love oh love
Love true love
I dont care how
Just find me now.
GENIE Aug 2020
Love oh love
Love unpredictable love
What is this game you play
Why shock me this way
How do i sing this song
My God you're too young
Yet your words so strong
You said you felt it since long
And kept quiet all along
But you're way too young
How do i play this game
Which may my image defame
How do you say no
When deep within you know
This is no fake show
Love o love
Love unpredictable love
Help me out i pray
Cos i want you to stay
When someone unbelievably younger says unbelievably crazy things to you about You........๐Ÿ†˜๐Ÿ†˜๐Ÿ†˜๐Ÿ†˜๐Ÿ†˜๐Ÿ†˜

The sun asked to be my lover
The moon threatened to leave
The stars all knew better
No matter how much I need a lover,
I'll never betray a friend
Still, my heart aches for a lover
GENIE Feb 2020
Why give myself a heartbreak when I can give myself a real  break
Why look for love in others when I can give myself love
Why create myself a problem when I can create myself an emblem
Why die for love when I can live devoid of love
I need a heartbreak to kick-start this heart I need pain to live again
But I won't hurt for what I can't have
I'll enjoy life even if its a second and half
I loved myself when I was unloved by others

Finally the adventurer meets his match
After a long campaign with restless relentless March
He comes to face himself in the testing ground of legends
And for the first time, he thirsted home

Her eyes hold the beauty of a dawning morning
Her smile the intensity of the sun
Her face the innocence of the moon
Her smile the infinity if the universe
She is Mother, And she is mine.

What is the essence of life if it's not happy
If you don't find a way to be happy,
You'll find a way to **** yourself
What is the essence of love if not sacrifice
Of what use is your edifice
If you can't give a bit of yourself
What is the essence of relationship
But trust
Even enemies trust each other
To hurt each other
What is the essence of beauty not appreciated
You're beauty understated
If you don't appreciate yourself,
Who will?
What is the essence of nature without beauty
Darkness is beautiful
So are you
What is the essence of life without you
If you weren't important,
You wouldn't be selected
If you weren't selected,
you wouldn't be
If you ain't meant to be,
You can't make yourself to be
So,because you are,
You can be,
And when you lack strength to be,
Let grace make you be,
A million ***** swam,
You didn't just be by mistake
The universe wanted you to be
Grace wanted you to be
A million ***** swam,but you were chosen to be
A million eggs drowned
Yet you came to be
So if you ain't,
It isn't because you can't,
Its because you didn't
Its because you were only interested in being,
You weren't motivated to being
So don't just be interested to be
Be motivated to be
Because I am i can be
I am the essence of life
Life is meaningless without me
Others may be interested to be, I am motivated to be

Howd you add perfect beauty to a horrible nightmare

I long for my pencil, I long to draw again
I long to draw my pain
I long to exercise my brain
I long for my pencil
My friend in strange times
When shades replace rhymes,
And line, words.
When I seek to shade my pain
Something's cannot be described by words
Some battles are not won by swords
When these things seek to burst my brain,
I seek my pencil
GENIE Feb 2020
If you ain't in ma shoes you can't judge how I walk
If you can't fill ma void
Why judge ma darkness
If you can't forgive ma sins
Then you can't condemn ma soul
If you can't create my path,
You can't decide ma destination
You are free to say your opinion
I am free to make my decision
So if you say I'm rude,
I'll say I'm free
No stories,no apologies
Maybe in my next life,
But definitely not in this one
GENIE Feb 2020
The woman:
I am a woman,
a tempest in my right
You are a man a hurricane in your right
I ask not to love me,
Just take me
I am ripe and full of passion
You have passion written all over you
I know you want me,
You make no effort to hide it
But to take me,
You lament of not to hurt me
My imaginations gives me the torture your touch only can ease
Let me handle the pain
Of not seeing again
Let me handle the hurt
That you love me not
But if you can't grant this simple request,
Maybe you're not afraid of hurting me,
You're afraid of hurting yourself.
Cos
I'm definitely not hurting you

Once upon a time
God created a very weak little boy
He then made a failure of a man out of the weak little boy
He made a true warrior out of the failure of a man
No true warrior is ever weak, man or woman,
Out of the warrior emerged somethingelse
Somethingelse is working and improving
Evolution is near and impending
Watch out,expect nothing less than something much more

If one heart Without the other is an incomplete heart
If one heart without the other is a broken heart
If one heart without the other is a fallen heart
If one heart without the other is a sunken heart
If one heart without the other is a pain trained heart
If one heart finds no heart
If one heart gives no heart it's only heart
If no heart throws one heart's heart
Into no heart's pit of no heart
Will one heart live without a heart, will one heart again find heart
Help me out wise poets, for I'm no smart

~~you had it rough
So what?
You made it through
Life had been tough
So what?
You remained,true?
It's getting rougher
So what?
You'll get tougher
You will remain?
I'll bet my life on it
One more step
You will get there
You will ride the eye of the storm
Where it sources power
And there you will find peace
Just one more step~~
One more step can make all the difference
Oneore step might be all you need

I AM LOST BUT NOT WITHOUT FOCUS
I MAY HAVE LOST MY WAY BUT NOT MY MIND
AS LONG AS I REMAIN IN GOD'S LOCUS,

It takes me great pain to write
And when I think am healing and getting it right
Life shines a blinding light
And then absolute darkness
To find my way, I grab a pen
Its inks mark my path
Each time I get twice stronger
Life gives double the strength
Life oh life
Can't you teach me in another way?
GENIE Feb 2020
Though I walk this path of sorrows
I lose perspective of sadness
Sorrows are the thorns and throes
How I view them is called sadness
Or happiness
How I react is called laziness
Or craziness
How I improveย ย Is called evolution or destruction
As I walk this path of sorrows,
I realize
It's life's duty to fire these arrows
It's my body's duty to feel pain
But to let that pain stop me
Or get me to gain,
That is solely up to me
If I don't make myself happy?,
Who will?
As I walk this path of roses
I realize
Even roses have thorn
And thorns create sorrows
Make yourself happy cos no one else will
In life sorrows abound
How you let it affect you is your sole choice
Nobody is to blame for the sadness you feel
GENIE Feb 2020
Its better dead than to be,alive
Wondering,
When will this pain end
And peace will arrive
GENIE May 2020
Poets are something else
They stand apart,in a world torn apart
They see beauty in ashes
Who does that?
They understand the grasses
They see nature in magical glasses
That's what their mind are made of
So they see beauty in ugly stuff
No one understands pain more
No one understands love more
Their honesty is incomparable
They are simply God's miracle
Their imaginations are vast
Larger than the very universe put togther
They are never stingy
For they share their soul
They are messengers of hope
They should be enshrined as gods
Yet no true poet wants that
They simply want to share
Not for glory or immortalization
Yet they are born immortals
Whose words alter the course of time
They bring healing to a sick world
Relief to a pained world
They're God's treasured ones
If you doubt me,
Read the psalms of david
And the proverbs of Solomon
Read the Ecclesiastes
And see how God carefully planned them
Treasures them, and nature's them
This fills the devil with envy
And he sends trials their way
They're often torn, rejected, dejected
Beaten time and after
Yet they bring beauty to sufferings
And touch the core of your very soul
Poets are really something else
That's why they're often misunderstood
Once, I wasn't much of a poet
So it was hard to see,
How a fellow man makes suffering desirable
But since I began the journey,
I now understand why poets are something else, different from the rest of the world
RESPECTย ย to every poet out there,RESPECT.
love poets,respect poets,
GENIE Feb 2020
I am the mystery that hides in the light
I am your vision, your sight at night
I am the reason you shine so bright
I am the creativity bonded to your soul,
I am the goal,away from your ghoul
I am poetry,the reason you're whole

If God created the world by the word
Who then says poets aint gods
In our own world made by our own words.
Poets RULE.

Sometimes we forget that which we truly are,mortals
Most times we never achieve our true potential as immortals
Faith is the only portal that transforms mortals to immortals
GENIE May 2020
Why won't I be strong,
When I'm a product of pain
Why won't I be true,
Do you know what I've been through?
If life was for only the strong,
Why are the weak always around
If all to life was the sky,
Why were we planted aground
The most neglected are often the most favored
If I lie, just look around
Lions are considered strong,
Dragons considered virile
Ants next to nothin
Yet more ants in a colony
Than all the lion in the world
No dragon at all
Don't get down when you're not always strongest
Life may not be it's nicest
Just know you're favored,
If I lie, why are you alive,
If you're not important,
You wouldn't even exist.

If you're not ready to take the risk called crazy,
You're not ready to make the reach called genius

Life plays its games
Life always plays its games
Life will always play its games
The rules have changed
It's still life's games,
We have changed the rules
Its still life's conditions
We have changed our perceptions
Strong problems of life and love
Made our minds to evolve
When life breaks us,we change rules
So,
Break yourself first
So as to
Change the rules
Don't take life too seriously,
Even life doesn't
How do I know?
Explain:
The funny things life throws in our way
How do you explain laughter even in times of deep pain
If seriousness was all life was after
So hurt is still life's game
But we have changed the rules
We learn, we get better
Defeat is still life's condition
But we get up and evolve
We changed our perception
Falling is a chance to look at the sun from a new angle
Failure is a chance to see success from another perspective
So it's still life's games
But we have changed the rules
So I won't ask twice
Are you one of us?
Are you a RULE CHANGER??????
Learn the rules
Break yourself
Don't break the rules
Change the rules
Rule breaking breaks games
Rule changing remakes systems

We all could've sworn he had changed
Clean shaven,hair made,nails cut
He no longer look savaged or deranged
Civilized,smart,cute,curt
Yet he kneels on a man,
And rapes a woman
His civilization brings global warming
Instant disasters without warning
He preaches freedom
Yet enslaves with wisdom
Outside,he's no longer savage,
But inside is pure hate and rage
Man for all his advancement is still man
New looks,Same old beast.

In their dark
The stars shine
So why can't you shine in your own darkness
In your darkness lies the secret to your light
In your problems lie your solutions
So shine!!!shine!!!shine!!!
You don't have a choice,
No stories,
I don't care what you've been through
No apologies
It won't change what you've been through
Just shine
Let the suns rule their day
Be the star that rules your night
And when you grow bigger than the sun
You'll make your night day again
But first you must shine
Cos dead stars don't make suns
So ๐ŸŒž๐ŸŒž๐ŸŒž
You choose to remain in the dark,
Or
You choose to shine

They say no one survives the devil
They were wrong
I survived you
They say man's heart is evil
A place no good belongs
That describes you
I survived the devil,
I became mysteriously strong
I survived true,
But I became something else
A legend everyone tells
Mystifying,casting spells
It's good being something else
Living my dreams,not of someone else
It's great to live your dreams
Something I'm privileged to achieve
GENIE May 2020
Its a nightmare but I must live it,it's called reality
It's a daydream but I must abolish it,its a fatality
In the daydream it's called love,
In reality, it's somethingelse.
Something else
GENIE May 2020
The ways you see life determines what you value,
what you value determines what you learn,
What you value determines what you live for
What you live for determines how you live
So if you see life as:
A poem, you learn words
A problem you solutions
A relation,you learn communication
A game, you learn tricks
A battle, you learn to  fight
A job, you learn duty
A race,you learn speed
A marathon, you learn endurance
A study, you learn logic
An act, you learn emotions
A music, you learn notes
A dance you learn steps
A beat, you learn to dance
A community you learn people
A weather, you learn shelter
A storm you learn strength
A turn, you learn patience
A trade you learn money
A jungle you learn survival
An ocean, you learn to swim
A mountain you learn scaling
A valley, you learn graceful descent
A commitment you learn honesty
A death zone, you learn killing
A mystery, you learn adventure
An adventure, you learn living
A fashion you learn dressing
A competition you learn scarcity
A cooperation you learn abundance
A team work you learn networking
A lie, you learn to the truth
A truth, you learn freedom
The goal to being free is to learn your lies, challenge and face them
A job you learn duty,
When you see life as comparison, you learn envy
Destructive envy leads to priority misplacement,
This leads to value misplacementzthe root cause of shortsightedness and selfishness
So, see right to learn right to live right
See right to live right

Let love be a candle
And our every act a flame
For everyone helpless you cuddle
You spark a flame
Everytime you help someone in a struggle
You intensify the flame
For when darktime comes and you struggle
You will know no shame
Cos the universe will spark you a flame
That bears your insignia and name
You'll never be the same
All because you sparked a flameโ˜€

In a split second, I had it all and lost it all
In a split second, you kissed me and bit me
In a split second you built me and destroyed me
In a split second you healed me and killed me
In a split second you made me and marred me
In a split second, you showed me love and blinded me
In a split second you gave it all and took it all
It takes a split second to hurt, how long till I heal?
Does healing take forever?
Does healing take forever?
Or another split second.
GENIE Aug 2020
I feel it coming
I hear them calling
The silence is breaking
Their whispers less confusing
The darkness,its voice soothing
The abyss, its voice  compelling
The void seductively inviting
The dark calls my name
The abyss my eulogy proclaim
The void sweetens my nickname
I long to answer and turn
But there is that which i must do
I must this cold brave,
and this war win
I must this light shine,
and this heart share
I must spread this LOVEz
Maybe after doing this, I will answer them
But i got a LOVEz to spread
