within numbered days
left til i celebrate christ's birth
i saw the darkness in your eyes

i knew that you were dangerous
how could you do this to me
you destroyed me
you keep me in chains

i cannot escape
a terrible reality
a different hell
set by the one
i'd love to die for.

I'm supposed to nod my head, agree, and laugh
But not today
Not under these lights
Not under these glares
Not under this sky
Not under these clouds,

I'm never nodding to you again
I'm going' to lift my chin high,
Pick my shoulders up,
Clench my teeth
And stare back at you-

You never judged me for who I was
Jamais looked at me for what I did
Always glanced at me for what I couldn't control
For how blue the sky was today
For how bad your rhymes were yesterday

Well there,
I spat in your face,
Where's that machismo now, eh?

as i read your words
your voice rings through my head
i read the 27 words
again and again
smiling each time i reach the end
27 words that fill my heart
fill my mind
fill me with you
From mountains of time;
Pebbles of moments fell.
Worthless stones I thought.
Flung them far to dispel.

Year after year passed.
Unknown paths I walked.
Came across known environment.
With amazement I gawked.

Stumbled upon those stones.
Pebbles which I threw;
They were precious diamonds.
Then its worth I didn't knew.
The clouds that fly across my windy eyes
the reflection of all the resolution
that I muster up in the moments whim
fall rapidly as soon as I breathe in.

I cannot win.
For the world that I so loathe
Shines out from within.

I was at the edge of myself       almost becoming
the words waiting in silence


maybe i don't have to explain
because I saw two trees
embrace
in the justpastmidnight light
and the vision
stilled me.
Dark gray abis
you peer down
pure darkness
but out of the dark
shines a bright brilliant light
but here the catch
the abis is my life
and the light
well thats you
