What do you see?
I see a crooked nose & asymmetrical features everywhere
What do you see?
I see saggy ******* & ***** freckles everywhere
What do you see?
I see a fat boy who’s trying so hard to breathe
What do you see?
I see a skinny girl who looks like a stick

What do i see?
I see a guy who made his single-mother proud by getting a degree
What do i see?
I see a lady who dances like she owns the world
What do i see?
I see a boy who runs knowing he’s better than this
What do i see?
I see a girl working at her age to let her siblings eat


What you think you see
Is what others seen
The best in you.
You scrutinized on what you are
**Others perceived on what you've done.

"I'm afraid of the dark. There's no one to guide me anymore"

"I think it's time you should be your own guardian, because in this wonderful world, my friend, no one cares. No one will ever care either. You should be independent. You must learn to survive, independently. The world is a deep sea, full of sharks. If you don't survive, you're not given a second chance. Because in the end, no one ever cares, my friend. No one cares."

The little bird was trapped
Behind the gilded cage
The butterfly was trapped
Inside the mason jar
The firefly was caught
From his home
And they patiently wait
Hoping and praying...
And then one day
A girl with gentle hands
Opens the little bird's cage
And releases him
With her pretty smile
She says, "Be free, little one!"
A youthful boy that same day
Open's the butterfly's jar
And with one final look at her dazzling beauty
He softly whispers, "You're free at last."
Another girl that same day
Opens the jar the firefly lives in
Trapped inside the walls of glass
She opens the lid and says,
"Fly away, little firefly, fly away!
You are free at last."

Maybe if I step on
enough flowers
or break
enough  
hearts  
I just might forget
I'm made of broken parts

A bunch of hyenas,
They circled around,
Weapons in hand,
Sinister and proud,

Stopped in their tracks,
Tension in the air,
A child witness,
They didn't care,

A quick escape,
No route back,
Cowardly *******,
Begin their attack,

Prone position,
Time stands still,
Screaming sisters,
A summers chill,

Running away,
From where he lies,
Blood stained jacket,
Traumatic cries,

Police arrive,
Crowds disperse,
Family gather,
Expecting the worst,

A road to recovery,
Their day in court,
Sentence given,
Tragically short,

Time heals,
Scars fade,
Memories remain,
History replayed,

A twist of fate,
On a dark day,
Found him love,
That took it away,

Moving on,
His family grew,
Childs laughter,
Pulled him through,

This family man,
Can always walk tall,
He took on his troubles,
And conquered them all.

Winters Soldier

A winters night, into the cold,
The Queen's servant, looking old,
Just ten years since Iraq..
Ripped cloth upon his back.

Paper sheets, and plastic bags,
Warming body holding rags ,
His bottle lacking wine..
Drinking passed the time,

Daily grind, passing by,
No one stops, wonders why..
..His lips, are a shade of blue,

Tight fist clutched to chest,
A hero soldier, came to rest,
Upon commuter street..
..look down beneath your feet...

..Yes you!

A winters soldier, died alone,
Buried deep, below the stone,
Tortured by the war..
By the scars nobody saw.

If only you had not ignored,
The dying soldier there before,
Then maybe we can save...
..The wounded and the brave.
