I'm from where bedtime stories
are gun shots in the streets
I'm from where my history is
darker than underneath your sheets
where theirs billion dollar lottery's
homeless people and starving kids
without any shoes on their feetsss
Ignorance allow me to speak freely
cuz u can't cry 4 help in a world that is empty
leave da hood I promise you'll think clearly
cause half of us won't make it past 23
born into a system of oppression so unfairly  
where you can pay me by the hour 7.50
but can't pay me enough to come early
I'am from the concrete jungle you call city
I guarantee any place that u see me
will feel up way past legal capacity
too bad I'm from where success is just a theory
where you can mob,steal,**** & never feel guilty
but when judgment day comes who will really

.          When I was lost at sea
                 I wasn't hungry
                 I wasn't thirsty
                 How could I be
        If water was all I could see
                  I wasn't mad
                   I wasn't sad
                We can all agree
       A final smile in abundant glee
                   I didn't swear
                    I didn't care
                At last I'am free
All I needed was for you to be with me
Happy Valentine's Day

Your loves fool's gold
So precious yet so cold
You call & put me on hold
I wait knowing I'll grow old
I'll love you with a blindfold
For you I'll even sell my soul
& become a slave to your eyes
Like wise I'll believe all your lies
Make love from sunset to sunrise
My love for you is beyond the skies
It's unmeasurable with an infinite size
I'm infatuated by your loves grand prize
Fool's gold is when you love some one who's only using you , and you know but you still love  them.

Cheyenne
I'm standing around.
Waiting.... for something?
I'm starting to think
that it isn't coming.
The rain just falls harder.
The sky just grows darker.
But I'm not getting any stronger.
My muscles ache.
My heart breaks.

. Deaths like a tsunami, but with love its just
                                a wave
My darkness seemed endless, but with her its a .                            cozy cave
    In love we risk it all, like freedom to a
                                 slave
Don't be afraid to fallow your heart towards
                       what you crave
Not everyone can love cause not everyone
                              is brave
Mario Cervantes Jan 2016
In every life we find each other
Alone at night our souls will scatter
We'll try our best to peace together
The broken wing & gorgeous feather
I'll always love her even if I hate her
And if we die I'll see her later

— The End —
