It all feels so lost
Lost in doubt
Lost without hope
It has come to this
It had such promise
We all were striving
We all were learning
We were all getting along
Today it's violence
A shooting here
A overdose there
A homeless camp on the news
Why has it come to this
Why do we just act like sheep
Where's our strength
What has happened to us all
Its feels we have lost
It feels we are hopeless
It makes me feel so sick
All I can do is take care of me
And try to be safe
In a world that's lost its way

The nights don't lie about the darkness
The nights dont lie about the pain
The nights don't lie about the sadness
The nights don't lie about the curse of humane


Their voices haunts the silents
Their actions ****** the restless.
Their thoughts crucify the preachers
Their sight infiltrates the domain .

They see them
They hear them
They feel them
Still can't do a thing
Still can't do a thing

Hope they find the light
Helping  them to conquer the night
Hope they find the path
Helping them to overcome the aftermath .

DEAR PENPAL PEOPLE, do you know what I don't know?

let me be a fool
one that slaps with cruel
leave some words for us leave some words for you
leave the past to dust leave the yellow floors too

let me be a fool
wear that memory on my neck & call it a jewel
seal the day of misery word by word in due
admire every single color in remembrance of every hue

let me be a fool
drown myself in that scent in that noise in that pool
dig the heels of my feet to the ground to keep me steady
never thought for an ever of a life I won't be ready

let me be a fool
the world of the never & delusions to rule
because them feels won't remain in the old self of every second
& no one gave me a hint to prepare what will & already threatened

I feel like Hell
But you make me
Feel like Heaven
