I sit alone in the night under the sky full of stars                          
reminiscing about my childhood and how good it was.  
Just a happy little guy who enjoyed playing in the dirt
despite knowing the fact mom would scold me for that.
Carefree because mom would take care of me on my behalf.
Heaven was nothing more than sleeping on my mom's lap.
My kind heart was filled with true love and pure thoughts.
My life was comprised of few tears and more genuine laughs.
I wonder why my childhood was so brief. It passed so fast.
I wish i could go back in time to relive that sweet past.

I sit alone in the night under the sky full of stars
recalling about my teenage life and how crazy it was.
I was young and energetic enough to fight in a war
but never saw the sunrise. That's how lazy i was.
An inexperienced and stupid kid, bunking the class
to experience his first kiss with the queen of his heart.
Night outs with my friends and chatting till the day dawns.
Promised "we shall be together whatever may be the odds".
I was more optimistic with bigger dreams in my bucket list
Ignorant enough to not know that everything falls apart.
Reality struck hard and caught me completely off guard
but I'll forever be grateful to the life lessons it has taught.

I sit alone in the night under the sky full of stars
contemplating about how my life of adulthood is hard.
The harsh realities of the world left me broken & jarred.
Maturity murdered my innocence & tore myself apart.
In a world, where deception is misconstrued as being smart,
it's hard for me to adapt when i blindly follow my heart.
So I learned to wear a facade and kept my real self locked
to let it suffer the fate of confinement like a caged bird.
I heard my inner voice desperately craving for my help.
Eventually, it stopped when i chose to ignore it like i never heard.
With a fake smile and fake life, everything seemed all right.
But when i looked inside of me, I realized that i've already died.

Feel free to comment your valuable suggestions. I would be more than just happy if people would help me in improvising myself.

Laze on the couch, sideways,
watching ants attack waed on the gift box
top, Magic, worst thing to teach kids
with addictive tendencies, those who fill
holes with things they hope won't deteriorate
in time after all of the money they paid
Bills stack, get paid, too, but the space left
is huge, too gaping for the remaining
messed up bunch of tight, clinched presidents
Never thought Washington bought ice cream
and got fat, or thought that Jackson dug green,
pipe cleaned, choked on **** til oxygen be
came an old means, but here I slink, giving them
to family, so I can recede comfortably on
an old futon with broke dreams, with full sink,
two XLs, to be honest, it feels too real,
feels too deep, feels like I best hold home
and blow dro, sleep to the X-bone beep.
yeah yeah yeah

but if I were healthy, I doubt I'd be writing.

We just dying to survive,
then survive to just die,
all the while we been dead
because life revolves around Lifeless things
like rent due and them expensive heels
that ain't no different
than a regular shoe.

Round and round we go,
we don't know,
and probably never will.

We just dying to survive,
then survive just to die,
do we ever really live,
or did we live our life
in womb when we
came to be,
just to die to survive
then survive just to die.

Round and round we go,
we don't know,
did we ever?

it’s
cutting your hair
and packing your bags,
it’s drinking champagne
in your best pair of jeans.
it’s
growing out bangs,
unbuttoning shirts –
to think yours had been closed up to the
throat, all these years –
and everything, all white.
it’s
sunburned noses
and no makeup, it’s
less backward glances
and more plans
for the future.
it’s holding a conversation
and making eye contact,
it’s meeting a man
and letting your feet
grow roots.
it’s
more music, less running,
more danger, and more safety,
and it’s
finally, having a taste
for the classics.

The little hand that pressed its love
It's trust
It's belief
Into the safest of all
Is slipping away to adulthood
For our son
What a wonderful journey our lives can be

In the middle of winter,
a boy played in a field of snow.
He built a snowman, made snowballs
with delight on his face.
He did everything he can
to savor it as it lasts.
For he knows that
winter will go, snowfall will stop.

He came across a train track,
in a cold, abandoned station.
Arms spread wide,
he walked on the trails.
He fell and fell,
but it never stopped
his willpower to see
the end of what he started.

As he reached a certain point,
the track split into two.
One, with animals and plants blooming,
and the other, with pure snow falling.

He wanted more snow,
and decided to journey the latter.
However, a sudden urge
demanded to be noticed.
He felt cold, in need of warmth.

The boy, satisfied,
walked his chosen path.
A thought suddenly entered his mind,
“Too much snow is bad,” he uttered.
“It’s playtime with spring now.”

When you lose everything you once had in mind, and in spirit you are a lost cause..
All is pain and guilt, suffering and neglect.
Love becomes a distant regret,
life persists instead.
You do me favor and I feel cheated, deflated, frustrated, and elated.

I feel nothing that makes any joy or choice: lie to myself
and mate with *******'s voice.

Glide on the edge of functionality and insanity, with or without holes, or breakdowns.
I see break through's and grade schools, improving my balance
and granting me the wisdom to stay humble,
and over time stable.

before,
how people grow up
why people change
who people become
what people fall for
where people find home
if love even exists

then,
these happened to me
one at a time
or simultaneously

now,
it is still ongoing
it is inevitable

you pull through
you get a grip
you kick and move
you start swimming
on adulting so far

You people leave me so ******* up.
Your world leaves me so ******* up that I find myself resisting temptations of unhealthy thrill, just to feel alive.
Yet it's my job to make you feel alive,
and our job to make each other feel alive.
You people leave me so ******* up.
...tell me I'm wrong.
Are you happy with this society.
