Oh dearest what can I do to eradicate your pain?
The crackling of your usually comforting voice
as you call not to complain but to explain that he's at it again.
While I hear your tears in the trembling of your words,
I hold back my cries in a vain attempt.
You're stuck in this repeating cycle and chain of events
Which leaves both you and I dented.
But I know it's not your intent,
you just need to vent.
And I know what he says is not what he meant.
So forget it, ignore him, his words don't represent true feelings of his self.

But what if what he says is exactly what he meant?
Then my pleadings to God have been a waste of my breath,
unheard, cos there's no solution to this crime.
The only solution is to be patient with time.
Just stay patient with time.

Once was given a great gift of voice
To sing loud and be heard before many a thousand
But the crowds silenced me, as I preferred to sleep
And speak less with the world a burden

I am selfish I find
Asking for differently
As my own first motivation is the speech within me
It is what is, will be
Say what you want. Try it out in person. Though you may learn to dislike it later.

red streams
down a hide of vulnerability
exposed, dumped into the cold
eyes wide with a blurred hold
of my new found surroundings
i kick, i go deeper
the sunlight only weakens
i sink past each shade
of blue in my face
no choice do I have
but to swim with the fishes
a daunting position
due to my last name...
I wanted to write... and this happened.

They... They will take yhur pride and expect you to stand tall.
They will collect your ballon and expect you to smile.
They will take your meals and expect you not to starve.
They will take your God and expect you to have faith.
And they will take your happiness and still expect a laughter.
Take your life and expect you to live.
