I wasn't worthless
Circumstances made me one
So do not judge me

When you think about it,
death is weird.
In a split second,
all activity halts.
All that you have done
and ever planned is frozen

Forever.

Those plans and dreams remain hidden
in your dark, cold brain and your supine body.
Everything about you comes to an end,
except in the minds
of those who hold memories of you,
which, with time, will innately be forgotten
and won't matter anymore.

You... Cease... To... Exist...

And life goes on for the living,
without you,
like nothing ever happened.

If God could wait long enough
For snails to enter Noah's Ark,
His door of favor is always available
It won't close till you get there

If there's another way to love
Show me
If you could take me out of this cave
Please, don't do it
For I'm lost in a cave of your love
Love takes two
You may not have a clue
That in your heart, I fell
What I feel about you is real
Without you, my life is of no use
With you, weeping is of no use
Silence as an answer, I may not bear
But could be what I need to hear
At least, for now

We're born
To pass through
The land
Of the unknown.
The promised land
Is our destination.
Whether we creep, walk, run or gallop,
There's only one way out.
Some people are lucky to find theirs early.
No escape... no hiding.
On. On...
We shall leave here -
One person at a time.

I make decisions
That I regret sometimes
But I own them
As a part of me
And take them
As learning experiences
Sometimes correct them
I'm human
Bound to make mistakes
Not a robot
Not an angel
Not a god
Not perfect
like everybody else

Wear the hood again
and see if they won't love you more
You'll realize it's the only thing
that
      had
      joined
              your
            ­         life
                       with
                         theirs,
                                  like
                                   stairs.
Without the hood,
it'll be so

To slid them away - yet again

Disappointed
Nonetheless,
It is well

One foot on the ground, the other in the air
I stand here, in a new world
A path I've chosen, a road untraveled
Full of hope and possibility

Five months have passed since I made the leap
Since I left my old life behind
And set out on a new adventure
With nothing but a dream in my heart

The journey has been full of twists and turns
Of ups and downs, of highs and lows
But I've pushed on
Through the tough times
With a steadfast determination in my soul

The new path has been full of challenges
A maze of obstacles to overcome
But with each challenge,
I've grown stronger
More resilient, more determined than before

But the past is now behind me
A distant memory, fading in the distance
I've embraced the uncertainty and the unknown
And stepped forward with courage and conviction

I've faced my fears and conquered my doubts
And learned to trust in my own abilities
To believe in myself and in my dreams
And to never give up
No matter what life brings

The new path has brought me joy and laughter
And moments of pure happiness and bliss
It's been a journey of self-discovery

I've met new people and made new friends
And discovered new passions and interests
And I know that this path is where I belong
Where I'm meant to be
Where I'll thrive and grow

The memories of the past still linger
A reminder of where I've come from
But the future is where my heart lies

I'll keep walking this new path
With a heart full of hope, and a soul full of courage
Ready to face whatever comes my way
And to live a life that's truly worth living
And I know that the journey is far from over
But I'm ready for whatever lies ahead

Behold!
I look to the sky
With a joyful heart
Praise, honor and glory to His name
Faced an endless time with zero chance
Of freeing myself, finding home
The cuff was my gold wrist watch
The steel cage was my proper place
Stripped of my right, faith and freedom
But He stepped in
To show me the way, truth and life
He was all I needed
To break my chains
Now I see a newfangled beginning
I can stay awake and still be free
I’m saved

A prince in imagination
A prisoner in reality –
Lost between two worlds
What a lad to do?
Options,
Sleep or stay awake
As the biospheres keep switching,
Cherubs cry for the lost
Nervousness fences like invisible steel cage
Do I hold on to the thought in mind
Or bear the anguish of reality?
Topsy-turvy, troubled, tripped, tumbled…
No matter how hard I try
To free myself, I can’t
The struggle is real
In mind, soul and body

I found out
a long time ago
that you hate me

I still kept you closer
Thinking that one day
You will change

It’s been a little
Over fifty years we met
I have kept this hope

On my sick bed
Dying of cancer
And I still can’t feel your love

Maybe one day; after I die
You’ll show it to my grave
My dearest wife

Kindly try once more
Just like you did heretofore
And the one before

They argue it doesn't really matter;
A minor lie,
And a slight distortion—
Until the moment arrives when darkness
Consumes your mind and detonates,
Leaving your body lifeless
As it crumples in a gradual descent.

Unfortunately,
There’s no one to rely on
When your feathers break

The face behind the mask
Is the image
Of deception
Of lies
And of greed
But it's also the image
Of reality
Of love
And of truth
The face behind the mask
Is the image
You cannot predict
Its next move
Because you are not ready
To look beyond the mask

Take me away
To a place far away from earth
Yes, my cogitable safe haven
As your lips grasp
The tip of my phallus
It’s yours —today and forever
Swallow it as my nerves send
A sweet sensation to my brain
Goosebumps!
Not from pain
But groping from your
Milky lips.

It started with a kiss
And we got ******
It was a heated argument
The insults were uncalled for
They hit you in the heart
I know
But I love you
I can't let you go
I can't let you s

It's my fault after all
Now tell me what's the point when all you need is never there?
I want to turn back the hand of time
But nature can't let it be
The world is falling down
My hope is dying
Like lovers do,
We need to kiss our way back together
This time, stronger
With kisses, kisses and kisses
Oh Jeez' I miss you
They say if we must love,
we must learn to forgive
On my knees
To take what's MINE
For without you,
I cease to exist

Breath
When you're broken
And all you see is darkness
Breath
When darkness seems to
Shine brighter in your life
Breath
When you are in sorrow
And your survival rate
Is still low
Breath
When all hope is lost
And no one to save you
Breath

And know this,
Your breathe is your survival
If you stop breathing, you
S

To death
Keep On Breathing

She thought she left all behind
To start anew
But terrible things from her distant past
Caught up with her, suddenly
Preying on her future
Those shadows were all there along
They never showed until the sun came out
Revealing it to all—
Odious. Tragic.

Be strong
Things gon’ turn
around for good
A new dawn approaches
A new hope cometh soon
A new beginning is here
Trust the timing
And just stay strong

A man with
A small pe-nis
Can easily hide
An *******

Nothing in this life
Is completely amiss
Every boo-boo
Has its ostentation

Sometimes
We’re not stuck
Not really
But we’re just afraid
To fail
Scared to be mocked
Fear of the unknown
Afraid to learn something new
And other times,
We’re afraid
To win

Imagine being proud
to celebrate Independence Day
when every decision you make
as the leader of the country
is dictated by foreign hands.
Your sovereignty is
literally compromised
by external influences.
Yeah, freedom.
How ironic!

There’s always the need
to find ways
to see the world
as a beautiful place
and somehow,
do it alone

We all need peace!
This is our only earth
Our only HOME
If we can't protect it,
Let's not destroy it.
Praying for peace
Asking for PEACE!

I’m hiding,
Yes, I’m hiding,
Been locked in here for twenty, maybe more,
Trying to fix the mess that I carry to the core.
Everyone’s in the living room,
Laughing, dancing to some happy tune.
But me?
I’m stuck in this silent space,
A crowded house, but I’m lost in my own place.

I’m trapped in this maze, my mind’s own maze,
A prisoner of these long, lonely days.
Silent screams that no one hears,
Louder than the laughter just beyond here.
I’m here, but I’m gone, present but erased,
A crowded house, but I’ve lost my place.

They’ve shown me love, or so they claim,
But behind my back, I hear my name.
Whispers slither like snakes through the cracks,
I know they act, just keeping me intact.
They smile wide, but their eyes are dry,
Maybe they care, or they don’t—but it’s all a lie.

Knock Knock
“Hey, you alright?”
“Erm, I’ll be out soon, give me a sec, it’s alright…”

But is it really?
‘Cause I’m tired, truly tired,
Of fighting fires and battling demons dancing in my head,
Of faking smiles when I feel dead.
Every relationship falls like the one before,
Each one shattered my heart like glass.
I’ve given all, there’s nothing left to give,
Now, I just exist, but don’t know how to live.

They think I’m fine, that I’m still the same,
The happy boy, the bright-eyed flame.
The one who danced, who laughed, who shone,
Who carried the weight of the world like it was his own.
But the truth is, now, I’m shattered, split, and splintered,
Like a mirror that has been dropped,
And every time I pick it up, the pieces never lock.
Once a sunbeam, now just smoke,
A fading laugh, a forgotten joke.

See, I used to be the boy who bubbled with joy,
Now I’m the man that misery employs.
I’m the punchline to jokes never told,
I’m the shadow that hides in the bold.
I used to shine, used to soar,
Now I’m just trying to survive the war.
Bright smiles buried beneath the grime,
The clock keeps ticking, but I’m out of time.

They’re waiting for me to come cut the cake,
But how can I slice when it’s all just fake?
I’m hiding in here, plotting an escape,
Maybe I’ll slip through that window, leave no trace,
Run to a place I’ve never known,
But even there, this weight’s my own.

What do I want? I don’t even know,
Love? Maybe? But trust? It won’t grow.
It’s like carrying mountains on my back,
All this baggage from scars.

Knock Knock
“You coming out?”
Yeah… I guess I’ll go out.
Put on the smiley mask.

Open the door,
And I shout—
“Heeeyyyy! Let’s turn it up, let’s shout!”
They cheer, they dance, think I’m alright,
But in this mask, I’m not here.
