They want to change you
Yet break you
They say they don't mean to
But they leave you

You're a damaged piece
They all could see
A sterile seed
Mended but unsealed

There's a long, long way
To the heart you don't give away
A path of dismay
Gravel of things left unsaid

You're a different story
With ravel, no glory
So venomous, so lonely
Ruining yourself impatiently

There's only one way to you
A twisted and crooked route
Understood by just a few
For you bear no truth

You're an illusion, like art
The end of a beautiful start
There yet is
A windy highway to your broken heart

I'm almost home
to the drinking
to the sad music
to the missing
&
The crying
To the praying
&
To the sadness
It's all I ever known
So I call it home.
Heartbreaks = Home to me.
Heartbreaks tend to help grow alot and I become better.

Don't think about her,
They say.
Don't think about a pink elephant.



Yeah... you get the idea.

But it's worse if you've seen the pink elephant.
Such a thing does not leave your heart easy.

Sure, you could think of a blue elephant.
But I,
I would feel guilty.
The constant fight for equality
Black vs White
White vs Black
Religion vs Religion
Women vs Men
Men vs Women
Human vs Human
Why can't we see that we are all equal

Bitterness's manifestation of toxicity
Its torment is vague which is noxious
We can't breath
We **** each other

Entrapped me ever since
Can't escape from thee
Locked up from within

Racked from the pinions of a demonic dungeon
Vast, dark, tormented, pitfall of malice
Inevitable no matter how fast I flee

From the dreadful, fierce and phantasmagoria forms
Figments of my imagination
Somehow real and tangible as bone and flesh

Who haunt in the house of slumber
Transmogrified me into an abhorrent madman
Desperate for escape, one way or another

Too often, my call for help are silent ones
Unheard, unheeded
My thoughts are baffled, bewildered

Can't eject the sense of bitterness
Negativity encapsulated thee
Too late for escape and to flee

These demons succumb onto my bitterness
Toxicity is what they devour
Tearing me flesh to flesh

Insatiate 'till they consume my wholeness
Lusting for their satisfaction
Feeding their gluttony 'till I'm soulless

Alas, they have destroyed every bit of me
Siphoned the life out of me
Now I am existent no more
Dear God
Please save my soul
As I bow down
In the Mosque
And my body is cold
and I daven in the Synagogue
I secretly hope you're keeping a log

I need a guardian angel
To tell me that it'll be okay
I need to feel more stable
I hope I'll live another day

And I refrain from pork
Or Ursury
None on my fork
You're abusing me
With no response
I listen but I don't hear your song
I've stopped listening to music
The radio's not on

Pray 5 times
And then I pray three times
Bismillah before I eat
I thank you before my seat

I'll find you when I hear the chant
I'll be emancipated from the devil's hands
I'll hear your call as I feel the Adhan
Forgive me I am only a man

I ask the Imam for spiritual guidance
I meet the Rabbi but only silence
I seek but I don't think I'll find it
I only ask for your sacred kindness

In the water I wash my feet
I wash my face to purify
I fall down onto my knees
I think that I have truly died

Show me your presence
Show me your face
Show me your heaven
Show me the way
I wish you could hear me
And the words that I say

Amen
People
go away,
eventually!
But
how they part?
It stays,
eternally!!
Always part with people with happy note,
For you never know it may be last meeting....
