Ciel Noir

I hide my pain from a lot of people

I don't want to add to their problems

I am afraid to cry in front of my friends

I don't want them to see

the ways that I am broken

I want to be strong for them

So when they ask me how I am

I smile and say

"Everything is OK"

"Everything is OK"

"Everything is OK"

I tell the same lie

every day

A Mess of Words

Earnest

I am not

looking to

kiss a million girls once.

But to

kiss one girl

A million times.

what a pathetic, frank admission.

Black Lake

and when you leave
the mediocre aspirations of this world
spill through your fingers
like mist
over a black lake
the fumbling despair of your heart
cannot tether you here
alas, life slips by
as a passing shadow
you too,
of little consequence
will fade away

Samara

Sayonara

the church bell tolls
one, two, three times for my soul
God will never take away
my reason to pray

sighing between sips of cyanide
by the sea side
my pace a little slower
my eyes a little lower
it's all quite hazy
living in a day dream

Palestine

Watching the children
Cry as Palestinians die
No more happiness
And joy in Palestine
Today as our land stolen away
Our homes blown apart
People falling apart
Evil cheering away
Evil cheering today
Lives destroyed every day
But I Promise you
I'll love and pray
For every Palestinian today..
