"Madusa" Part 2
Lowkie Nov 2020
-
She had no snake heads as hair
But when she walks in
You could sense the danger in the air
She would turn your heart to stone
And walk away like she didn't care
-
People asked me why my heart was so cold
I froze and couldn't speak on what happened
The story remains untold
People asked me why aren't we together
I froze and couldn't speak on what happened
The nature of our relationship to me remains unknown
-
Madusa did what she was destined to do
And I fell for her hook, line and sinker
How could I be such a fool
I was just a student of the game
And Madusa took me to school
She left me broken in two, what a shame
Looking back, I see nothing was the same

Stir

-
Knock knock
Excuse me sir
There's something on my mind
That I would like to get off my chest
Don't mind the stance
My vision is kind of a blur
Where was I, oh yes
Your daughter says you think I'm not good for her
-
"You come here banging on my door
Like you own the place.
Boy are you drunk? I see it in your face
You have some nerves
You better leave before I kick you to the curve"
-
Woah, chill man
Maybe I had one or two drinks
I don't know, I wasn't counting than
Woah, chill fam
No need to get violent
To be honest
I don't like your attitude, it stinks
-
"Boy get off my property
You're disturbing my peace
You better leave before I call the police
And stay away from my daughter
Or else I'll come to your house
And there will be slaughter"
-
Excuse me Sir
There's no need to be aroused
I think I have wrong the house
You look like a nice guy
Don't act like a rat, I mean mouse
I apologize for bothering you this late at night
Excuse me Sir as I say goodbye

Close The Door
Lowkie Nov 2020
-
Please close the door
There is a bunch of dead bodies laying on the floor
Our brothers and sisters losing their lives too soon
Shaking the nation to its core
Got me questioning
Is this the peace we've been praying for??
-
Please close the door
For there are pictures on the wall
That I don't want to see no more
Memories I tried to ignore
Became part of the decor
And everytime I tear it down, it restores
-
Please close the door
This used to be my favourite room
But I don't enter it anymore
It reminds me of the person I was before
And that person is buried 6 feet beneath this floor
So please close the red door

How I Never Told You
Lowkie Dec 2020
-
I had my eyes on you for a while now
I'm confessing my feelings to you
I think it's about time now
Maybe it was your smile
Maybe it was your light brown eyes
Or maybe how your light skin makes the world shine
That twisted my tongue and
Had me at lost for words
And left me here thinking
How I never told you
I had all these feelings for you.

It's Not You, It's Me
Lowkie Nov 2020
-
It's not you, it's me
I don't want you blaming yourself
It's bad for your health
But honestly it's not you, it's me
Cause I'm leaving you for me
-
I can be good to you
But I'm not good for you
Someone else will love you
Just not me
I still need to find who I need to be
-
Thank you for loving me
I needed to feel that
But I have to leave
And I do feel bad
Don't be sad
Everything will work out for the best

Feels

Feels
-
Human emotions are not toys
To be played with.
Trying to fix a heart
That someone else broke.
Waking up at 3am to a text saying
-
"Baby I can't take it no more
I know I promised to be strong
But I don't want to be alive anymore.
You tried fixing my broken heart
And for that I will forever be grateful
But the memories still replay
And they are painful.
I'm sorry I'm as strong as you thought I'd be
You gave me hope
And that means a lot to me
But this is goodbye
I wish you find love in this cruel world."
-
With tears in my eyes
And fear in my heart
I rushed to her place
Hoping that this can't be how we depart
Every minute we were apart
I prayed that you don't follow what's in your heart
But you did
And I feel like it's my fault
-
I hope you saved a seat for me
On your chariot to heaven
I promised to always be by your side
Like Romeo and Juliet
This is the part where I die

"Happy Thoughts"
Lowkie Jun 2020
Think happy thoughts
Even when your head is racing
Everyday feels like another challenge that you're facing
Your life is disaster in the making
Because everything you touch ends up breaking
Think happy thoughts
-
Think happy thoughts
Through the pain you've felt
And you have this random breakdowns
Where you feel numb, dumb and just want to melt
When you're lost in the darkness looking for light
Think happy thoughts
-
Think happy thoughts
And not drug overdose
Or crying until your tears overflow
Dwelling on the pain means you'll never grow
Stop looking for love in a place where it was never shown
Think happy thoughts

Save Me From My Feelings
Lowkie Nov 2020
-
These walls are closing in tight
With you gone
Nothing feels aright
Maybe I should put on a fight
But you were ready to take a flight
Straight out of my life
-
I told you everything
We were heading to better things
I even thought of buying you a diamond ring
For me it was love
For you it was just a fling
Save me from my feelings
You leaving hit me harder then you think
-
Life goes on
See that's the thing
What's life gonna be
Without the comfort you bring
-

Let You Go
Lowkie Nov 2020
-
They say if you love someone
You have to let them go
And if they return, that's when you know
But that's not always the case
In this case
I'm letting you go so that you can grow
-
You're a diamond in the rough
You like to act tough
But I'm calling your bluff
You were made from sugar and spice and everything nice
But you're no Powerpuff girl
You don't believe you're enough
But in a world filled with glitters and gold
You are a diamond pearl
-
They say if you love someone
Let them be free
This is me letting you be
And as I work on being a better me
I wonder who will you turn out to be

Me

Me
Me
-
In a world full of billions
There's only one me
To some I'm fake
To some I'm real
But really I'm just me
Now I don't mean to sound full of myself
But to some I might be a need
-
I don't make life about me
But my life does revolve around me
And since there's only one me
I'm in my own league
I'm unique
Just like you, her and him
-
Don't focus on your flows
Rather focus on your glow
Because looking up to people
Can make you feel low
And your more than that
You're what the world needs

Love Poem
-
It's been a minute since I've been here
In my feelings cause lately I didn't care
Much about love
Much about being curved
Lately I haven't been in love
-
You left with my heart
So I had to create a new one
Through my crafts and art
-
Ever been in a crowd
And feel like you're the only one
Ever felt so empty
And everyday is a constant battle
Between your mind and inner self
-
The title is "Love Poem"
Lately I haven't cared much
Since my queen left her throne
I removed all your pictures from my phone
But it's time I removed your memories
From my mind
Set myself free and focus on loving me

Take Care
Lowkie Nov 2020
-
There was once a girl
She use to shine like a diamond pearl
She had the body that would make your toes curl
Little did anyone know
She was popping pills
First it started off just for the thrill
After a while
She couldn't go a day without half a pill
-
She had the most beautiful smile
And the most adorable laugh
I guess that's why noone stopped to ask
"Are you okay"
Depression was at play
The pills was to help ease the pain
She smiled just to hide the pain
Still noone asked
"Are you okay"
-
A few passed and something wasn't the same
Her room was locked until the police came
They broke down the door
And her parents saw that her room has changed
Suicide notes all over her walls
They were all written the same
Her blood used as ink
Man, the sight was insane
-
They searched her room
And found her lying in her own blood pool
I guess she couldn't take it anymore
-
She smiled just to hide the pain
So that no one could ask her
"Are you okay"
It never rain as hard as it did on that day
-
Lowkie®
*take care of your loved ones cause you might not know
If they are in pain. Depression is real and trust me...
Its not a game

"Drunk Texting"
Lowkie Nov 2020
-
It's 3am and I'm drowning
In a pool of my sorrow
I might end up saying things
I'll regret tomorrow
But who cares anyways
The time we're living on is borrowed
-
It's 3am and all I can think about is you
You were the last thing on my mind
To tell you the truth
But when the lights went off and the music stopped
As I'm tossing and turning
And the room keeps spinning
All I could see was you
-
Now I know this makes no sense
Since we both agreed that was our last dance
Forgive me for blowing up your phone
But in my defence
I had too much to drink with my phone in my hand
Scrolling through the pictures of the time we had
Replaying old memories in my head
-

Lost in my own reality
Cursed to live in this fake world,
Where models wear make-up
And man kind always afraid of something.
Where mistakes turn into regrets
And pain turn into hate.
No wonder everyone looks upset.
Where broken morals turn into bottles.
Oh how the game has changed.
-
Lost In My Own Reality.
Where women are referred to as "*******"
And concerned citizens are "snitches"
Is this the best we can do?
Huh, talk about "gifted".
Streets is funny out here,
Seeing a 12 year old crying
"What do I have to live for?"
While downing his sorrow with a bottle.
Is this how we live?
Huh, talk about "evolved".
-
Lost In My Own Reality.
What happened to the Transparency?
Or is that Transgender too?
What happened to Trust?
Because nowadays there's only Lust.
Everyone looking for a quick bust.
Forgetting that they're ruining someone's future fast.
What happened to commitment?
Lemme guess, it went suicidal too?
Seems like that's the best way to escape every problem.
But what you're actually doing is avoiding a trap to fall into another.
But I guess that's what happens when you're "psychotic"
Is this how we live?
Huh, talk about "matured".
-
Lost In My Own Reality.
I guess this is why some people prefer never to wake up.

Poetry
Lowkie Nov 2020
-
A art that is slept on
A world of inspiration the new generation
Might be kept from
Everyone wants to be a rapper
Everyone wants to be a singer
Noone wants to be a thinker
Noone wants to be a reader
The walls of poetry are closing on me
I think I need a breather
-
Poetry
They know you when they've found love
I know you as a gift from above
You helped me see the beauty in things
You helped me see the darkness this world can bring
Whenever you called
I'd be first at the scene
You helped me as a teen
You saved me when noone else wanted to intervene
-
I thank you for the relief that you bring
I wish I could offer you a diamond ring - Maybe one day
First I need people to believe
In you
In me
And all the poets
Who has dreams they want to achieve

One Two Three Four
Why do these demons keep knocking on my door?
Don't they know their company is such a bore?
Don't they know they can't hurt me no more?
Don't they know I'm not as easy as before?
-
One Two Three
You laughed at me when I cried to be free
Now whenever you feel trapped
You look up to me
Seeking wisdom through my words you read
Father do you see these hungry minds I feed
I hope this qualifies as a good deed

One Two
Sit back and enjoy the view
While I try to paint something new
If you don't understand, it's cool
This picture is meant for a certain few

"Madusa"
Lowkie Nov 2020
-
She has the legs of a model
The type that would make grown men cry
With the body of a goddess
She had no reason to be modest
She had the potential to anything
But she happened to my greatest weakness
-
Little did I know that prettiest ******* the block
Had a secret
On the outside she looked decent
Some might even say beautiful
But on the inside she was a little wicked
-
She had this look in her eyes
That would turn any wondering man's life around
Maybe it was lust, Maybe it was fear
Maybe I shouldn't have listened to the devil in my ear
-
But as I stared into her eyes
I was surprised I didn't go blind
Instead I started feeling cold
From my pinky toe all the way up to my nose
And that's when I realised who she really was
But it was too late because
My heart already turned into stone

I always wonder why you don't need a car
You're up so high
I bet you see the whole world
Right there where you are
You shine so bright
Day and night
During the day you are one
At night all your friends
Come out to share the same spotlight
-
Which changes my perspective on the saying
"When Days are dark, Friends are few"
Like you I have many friends at night
Who's always trying to bring me down
Who never leaves without a fight
And when brighter days comes
They are nowhere in sight
-
Like you I need no car
To see the world
Because I'm up so high
Trying to escape the world
That I'm trapped in
During the day I am one
At night
At night is when all my "friends" come out to play
They tell me stories as I lay
About how I will never shine so bright
If I don't persue to be great
Causing me to rush the process
And have little faith
That the outcome will be
Like the picture I paint
-
All of them shine brighter than me
Making me feel misplace
Making me feel like a mistake
But than I remember the words you said:
"Give yourself a break
Your mental health is at stake
Those friends are probably fake
Because the real ones already think you're great
Be patient and have faith
And you will find your place in the universe
Through all your mistakes"

My Past Burnt Letters
Lowkie Nov 2020
-
Dear Mom
I'm writing you this letter
Hoping that you will never get to read it
Your son is growing up now
Did you know he is poet now
He wants to tell you
But he afraid it might be another thing
That you won't allow
-
Dear Dad
I want to say you're the reason
As to why I'm so sad
But I don't cause I don't want you to feel bad
Growing up without you wasn't really that hard
But maybe with you around
I could of went down a different path
-
There's more letters burning in the fire
I might have used one or two pages
To roll some joints to get higher
Daydreaming about better days
As the fire blaze

Someone asked me
"What was your life like before the depression?"
And without hesitation, I asked him
"Don't you have a better question?"
I could not give him a straight answer
-
For as long as I can remember
I had a imaginary companion
Living inside my head like he is a rent payer
He told me sweet stories
His favourite one was
"Nothing matters, Dying is way better"
-
He gave me advice
"Cut off your friends and family" he said
"Lock yourself up in your room" he said
"Starve yourself, nobody cares" he said
"Take this razor, be careful it's sharp.
Don't say I never got you anything nice"
He said while smiling from ear to ear
-
He called himself Depression
He invited himself into my house
Along with Anxiety his spouse
And ever since they moved in
Nothing was the same

Trapped in my mental cage
With no bars made from steel
Only scars that do not heal
With no celling
Only dreams that are too far to reach
-
Wake up from my sleep cause the nightmares keep haunting me
Falling asleep because these thoughts keep taunting me
-
People reaching out to save me but really I'm right where I need to be
So forget about me and you go be free
-
I'm trapped in a mental cage
Fighting back this burning rage
Pouring my heart out as you keep turning the page
-
Everyday I tell myself I will be okay
And the skeletons in my closet will be buried away
And it will be a brighter day
Until I wake up
And that dream fades away
