There is a thunderstorm
Rampant in my eyes for
They tried to steal our paradise

Where my love once grew heavenly
And divine on the sweet vine
It is now withering away
Beneath the vacant sunshine

I am lost in your eyes and
They tried to steal our paradise
Now i stand tall and alone
Close to the sky

Respect is something you earn, you don't just get it because you wear a badge.

Sometimes I only need someone who hold my hand and say, “ I’m right here with your silence, I love your silence too.”

At this point
I should stop

I should stop
Sharing my thoughts
With you

I should stop
Spending my time
On you

I should stop
Craving and wanting
Your company

I should stop
Feeling and caring
For you

I should stop
I should
I
I wish
I could
Stop.

My country is on fire
It’s burning from the inside out
Hate and division are eating it alive
My city is on fire
People are screaming for help
People are screaming for justice
Peace for justice

My country is on fire
It is being ravaged by hate
It is being crushed by cruelty
My city is on fire
One of my homes is burning
People are hurting
People are screaming
People need and want justice
It’s time
It’s way past  time
We are all one
We are human

My country is on fire
I feel helpless watching
I want to do something
It’s time for change
The same thing won’t work
Words aren’t enough
Actions matter
We need to understand
We need compassion and empathy
We all want and need the same thing


My country is on fire

Rip open my veins, blood-stained teeth bare
Snapping ribs as you unwrap them-
Crawl inside, child. Home.
Two beating hearts as one
Blistering beneath a polluted sky
You are as hard to look upon as the sun,
My one biggest lie
I need you I need you I need you

But glazed eyes, dried tears and split seams,
I could never keep you

How wonderful to be alive, he thought. But why does it always hurt?
