Are you there
Feeling that despair
Afraid to confess
Strangled by stress
Feeling lost again
Anxiety level ten
Loyalty is dissipating
**** it’s irritating
Giving it all
Just to fall
Chained to obligation
Tears from frustration
Self medication failing
Tension is prevailing
Who will see
You feeling differently
How the stress
Leaves you a mess
They don’t care
It isn’t fair
How your treated
So unappreciated
Spread so thin
Just can’t win
Same **** different day
But you do it anyway
Frankie Castro Oct 2017
Take the time
To simply climb
Above the hate
Just breathe escalate
Never settle for less
Don’t succumb to stress
Fight for peace
Misery will cease
Yeah I said fight
But it’s right
You won’t fail
You will prevail
Shedding those tears
Conquer your fears
Face that ****
Don’t you quit
Is that you
Just be true
Those brownnosing *******
And the snitches
Can’t touch you
Stay powerfully true
Find the solution
So in conclusion
You will persevere
Can you see what’s so clear
Frankie Castro Sep 2017
Should I be
Living differently
Acquire that position
Level up ambition
Join the race
Giant in a small place
Win or die
Be that guy
To gain respect
Life I neglect
Sacrifices to impress
Waking to stress
To make money
But it’s funny
We must make it
While we fake ****
Eat the little fish
How we wish
For better days
As we stay
In this comfort zone
Our skills we hone
Paying a cost
To be a boss
Each has a price
Which may never suffice
To be on top
We must hop
To someone else
Forgetting one self
To ultimately succeed
Should I concede
I stay conflicted
Or maybe I’m misdirected
Frankie Castro Sep 2017
Am I wise
It might surprise
Quite a few
What I do
Why I’m here
After every year
Struggling
Juggling
The choices made
Regret slowly fades
Risking it all
Just to fall
Happiness and pain
The same chain
Which can bind
Keeping one blind
To simpler things
It may sting
To let it go
You should know
Passion is complicated
Yet I’m dedicated
Moving forward again
Remembering where I been
This troubled man
Has a plan
Frankie Castro Sep 2017
If I told you how it was
Just because
About the women I knew
What would you do
How it made me
This possession sexually
Nothing more than a fling
How I didn't mean a thing
Reflected my cold heart
Our intentions weren't so far apart
Somewhat fortunate to be clear
With no emotions in here
All the late nights melt
Not once I felt
Compelled to ask for more
Love didn't live here anymore
As if it did before
But as exciting as it was
I changed because
They would treat me as a toy
In their selfish collection this bad boy
When I was younger I didn't mind
Now I'm older this I find
After all the years flying by
Being alone is no way to die
Been told I'm not the relationship guy
I wish I knew why
Should it matter to me now
If there is change how
Frankie Castro Sep 2017
As the pills
Sent those chills
I felt strange
I couldn't change
My body shivering
The pain delivering
Me closer now
I'm dying somehow
Blurry *** vision
Falling into submission
Slipping away again
Commiting a sin
All my rage
A pillbox cage
I can't explain
Yet I complain
How others are
Weak so far
Just let go
All I know
Shelf my hope
I can't cope
Honestly I apologize
My life I despise
Frankie Castro Aug 2017
I was shallow
So very cruel
Cold as ****
Greed consumed me
My life empty
No time to feel
Only thing real
Is the money
It's ******* funny
When it's there
Fake ***** care
Now I'm broke
I'm a joke
Here's some real
I'm lost
Looking for a place
My mind I face
With intent
To vent
To expel
Maybe repel
What I feel
As I write
You just might
See how true
I am with you
Every line I conceive
Isn't to deceive
They're a lifetime
In a rhyme
Good and bad
Happy and sad
All the *******
Living with it
I won't mind
If you find
My words pointless
As I confess
