Sometimes I've had enough of childish kids acting
Like they're grown men & women in society,
We don't gotta live like this....
It's hard enough that everyday someone dies and you
Feel like you should have said something to them,
You don't gotta live like this.....
Kids around the world with cancer and illnesses wondering
Where did this come from,
They don't gotta live like this.....
Young girls out on the streets selling themselves and the boys just
Rob and ****,
And they don't gotta live like this.......

What could the future possibly hold,
For all of us?
I've seen it all before,
it's dangerous....
better make your presence known,
For him in the sky....
building castles with the most high,
can't wait to fly.

Buried deep in the depths lies an awakened desire
Unbeknownst to the world; Passion aflame to aspire;
Clawing to the surface to display true ire

With resounding voice:
MAKE A CHOICE

Buried deep in the depths lies a restrained desire
Driven to the brink; Swiftly ****** to the spire;
Disheartened by disgrace, Prepared for ceasefire

With failing voice:
Make a choice

Released for all to see
Or shackled without a key
Regardless of the choice
A desire is voiced

The feline on the
Verge of cat-hood prowled through those
Familiar halls

Hearing the raucous
Mewing howls in those dark
crowded felt tunnels

Hearing time limits
And the endless snarls of those
Who sat at the top

Feeling that she was
Too familiar, she asked
"Why do I bother?"

And the world heard her
The calico found herself
Outside of those halls

Underneath the sky
Lilac, cream, and orange haze with
Planetary dots

She rode beneath it
The white impala rumbling
Stretched out on the black

In such a small place
She saw such a wide array
Yet to be tried out

By the strip malls and
The restaurants, she fell into
A serene limbo

Both waking her up
And lulling her to sleep, the
World answered her call

"Because, dear kitten
There's a wonderful, wild world
Outside of those halls"
Another metaphor about curious cats.

"Just another black boy with an half eaten cheese burger
On his bed, I pray the Lord will let me lay here",

The sun is out today also due to the troubled earth,
Life is getting shorter so you better know your Worth,
Death is inevitable to escape when it occurs,
Fears for the lucky ones that really roam the dirt,
B-i-r-d , you'd swear that it's the word,
Will it fly East or West in hopes one day to return,
You want to get right with him and not get burned,
Hope you got enough courage in your tank just to swerve,
Don't be a vamp all your life wishing hell for grace,
You want death in a hard cover , 29 is the page,
And I'll ignore every smart remarks and comments that you say,
The ripples in the water cools but slowly will age,
When you find freedom , memories will all fade,
But when you find paradise it's more than just a trace,
It's more than just a trace,
I hope to get there one day,

I could feel stress on your meter,
You're planning your long nights to see her,
If that's what makes you happy boy,
I hope she'll be the teacher,
My days in this life is long gone,
Sometimes I don't know what I do wrong,
To find me a shorter supply for this world will divide,
Have been alive for this long,
To know that I'm living a lie,
The purpose I'm chasing is solidified,
I could look for a good reason,
To raise a family without suicide,
Or passed on mental illnesses that'll ruin friendships in the
Flash of lightning,
Might have locations you could never find me,
I was looking for a way right now to get my weight up,
And conquer the scarring agony of misophonia,
So I'm done with ya,
No time to make friends , I believe in the God we trust,
I wanna get it back to the way it was...

I could feel stress on your meter,
You're planning your long nights to see her,
If that's what makes you happy boy,
I hope she'll be the teacher,
They use to say our skin was our sin,
And now we dress good for the black out....
A certain ability we won't lack now.

She plays with me and teases me to spark
In spring season my love I have to embark
Let me be your guard to save as bulwark
I will take you along please take my remark

Please teach me the mannerism for love
I want to be a schoolboy, my little dove
You know that when love happens,how
Love is the landmark beauty is over-above

My love is beyond my real expectations
Your style and grace are above all fashions
I want to be my love with you in all seasons
Beauty has its notions love its good reasons

I can't explain all the things,
Just because there are some things,
Few people won't want me to understand...
One such thing is her divorcing me pre-wedding,
I will die with the immortal failed love for her,
Which I have kindled and fondled in my heart...
She gives the pretence of incompatibility,
But I am as much a human being as herself...

Probably she was scared of my behaviour,
That very part where I always keep suggesting,
Suggesting her steps to improve herself...
She evades my love under the pretence of incompatibility.

The sun rises,
The sky gets grey.

The internet runs,
The phone dies.

The music blares,
The dark stays.

The shade stays closed,
The door says shut.

There is a reason,
*for everything

I've got running away running through my veins,
And I'd like nothing more
Than to stay.

And I remember
Days of packed bags
And the unknown,
And days of color
Or days of grey.
I remember every person,
Who never intended to stay.

If I breathe in the rain,
I can recall picking fights,
And my own wrong-doings,
But if I breathe out for too long,
It fades away like fog,
And I am left with the reasons I am strong.

And maybe today,
I remember the grey
And those who never intended
To stay.
But tomorrow is for color,
And all that I always wanted to do and say.

I've still got running away running through my veins,
But I've made the choice that I'm going to stay.
Happy National Poetry Day!

We all have our reasons
For why we're here

Not in existential sense
(Not this time)
But on this forum

We all have our reasons
For coming in
And writing in verse

Some of us
Want to hone writing skills
Some of us
Desire to describe the world
Some of us
Came looking for inspiration
Some of us
Need to let the skeletons out of our closets to breathe

I, personally
Am here because
This is the one place
I can let my
Wildest
Darkest
Most Lyrical
Descriptive
And Downright Crazy
Side out to the world
And no one will put me down for it
Or lock me up in an assylum

So where should I begin?
From the beginning or the end?
If I restart it again
Arisen sorrows will descend

Somewhere in the darkness
Howled the beats with victory
No one gave me no awarness
O! I've been caught by misery

Blow your sword on everysides
Born Oh! with no sympathy
I turned out to be neutralized
I fumbled with much adversity

I reckon I can restart my life
So I kept my sword and took the knife
There's no way out??
