#faced
who set the temperance in the square-faced clown
he was dancing and strolling and roaming around
he was scary, he was strange, he was really quite large
no one knew how he got there but he came out in charge
his hair was was chaotic, his skin an orange hue
he wanted to tell stories, all of which were not true
his stay should be over, in that fact we hope
the square-faced clown, it appears is a hoax....

Feeling insecure?
That’s no reason to gossip about the others and be rude
Feeling two-faced?
That’s no reason to blame others and be rude
Have no self-respect?
That’s no reason to disrespect others and be rude
Have crippling self-doubt?
That’s no reason to doubt others and be rude
Rude to yourself?
That’s no reason to be rude to the others

In 2019 i had faced many
Good/bad situations

Day by day i revamping in myself.

sugar coated people,
we all are,
dressed up in cloaks,
cloaks of sweet words,
uttered by cherry lips,
inside those cloaks,
we are just humans,
on the outside,
but beasts from inside,
with our brutal eyes,
hiding our darkside,
it's not that,
i just am,
or you just are,
the bitter truth is,
we all are...........

and you were too
how could we love eachother
if there was four of us
instead of two

When cereal is being made
and someone fumbles a batch
but doesn’t dispose of it
it can end up in your bowl
Not something to panic over
though you will
as it can turn the face red upon consumption
Not like leaving the gym
more of a tomato with a fever
Vegetation subsiding over time
left paralyzed in confusion
but still with a stomach quite full

I bet the one who survived best
Was the one who did just enough
to spare the lash, but taste no ire
who slipped away when shots were fired
I wonder how they saw themselves
a rat, a man?
God knows what else
In thought as in plan,
in work as in bust
Everything is as was ever done.

On the pole
or down the slide
Take a trip
inside my mind
*
Put on a helmet
Because it’s about time
Long overdue trip
taken inside my mind
Harsh bumps and rattles
as you’re shaken about
Thrown off to the side
Possibly upside down
Bright flashes reveal
constantly changing sights
As they endlessly shuffle
and Attention will fight
Like a Black Hole's pull
Imagination creates
with ally Daydream
It’s a tumultuous space
The hurricane winds
which are prevailing about
chaotically swirl
Voices speak and they shout
No symphony music
More like honking of horns
The cacophony hurts
stabbing ears with its thorns
*
**
But then quickly a change
as the storm clouds abate
Switched to bright sunny skies
and a beautiful gate
Gave permission to enter
I’m escorted inside
Faces old and familiar
From the shadows they hide
Merrily they share greetings
Earnest smiles and with hugs
Showing signs of relief
Open hearts filled with love
**
***
But as quickly it turned
It is turning right back
Skies once golden and blue
Now a murky gray/black
A momentary transition
as we passed through the eye
Blinders placed on our vision
Unaware of the tide
Like a Tsunami wall
with its impending doom
Staring at it with awe
A Showdown at High Noon
***
**
These scenarios play out
inside of my head
Shuffling and repeating
Often wishing for dead
But that ephemeral moment
So brief, one could miss
when His Highness the Sun
gives each subject a kiss
The darkness flushed out
And then filling each heart
with a renewing warmth
Now prepared to restart
the cycle, the story
Whatever life gives
Many times seen before
or not something yet lived
**
*
This point fundamental
Give the credence its due
You will find that in life
many times you will rue
Beset by the shadows
and the difficult times
seemingly far outweigh
when you’re good or feel fine
Don’t feel down; don’t give up
It’s an infinite wait
Eventually time will come
All the anger and hate
Alcatraz prisoner
Now they make their escape
Freedom marks a rebirth
Superman dons his cape
Holding on to that strength
for as long as you can
While retaining the knowledge
We’re imperfect humans
Life comes with its struggles
And amazing times too
Simple gifts like a smile
Great things waiting for you
When it starts to look bleak
Feeling all hope is lost
Good times must be ahead
Cuz this battle’s the cost

hmm..
me vs. me
battle or war?
on the other hand
what you see against what you don't
interesting theory.
you see what I want you to see
you see what you perceive of me
what your mind believes
but is that truly me?
perhaps not.
so perhaps call me two faced
i admit i have two sides
one for the show
and one behind the curtains.
oh, close minded individual
open you eyes
what do you see
surely, it's not me.

To say you would always be there,
To say you would always give me advise,
To say I believed I could open myself up,
It is all a lie!
To think you were real,
To think you told me the truth,
To think you wouldn't think bad of me,
It was all a lie!
You made me feel better,
You made me feel like someone was there,
You made me feel special,
It was all a lie!
You now make me feel worthless,
You don't realise what you have done,
You just acted normally,
You're just a big lie!

One can use
A knife to chop
A potato or a tomato.
Or getting off track
On can use it
To stab people
In the back!
Nations can harness
Nuclear to generate power
Or to eliminate all
Also to tear down many
A tower.
The double-faced
Supper powers
That uphold imperialism
To meet their ends
Subtly cultivate
And promote terrorism.
They condemn it
Only if it rains
Havoc they
Don't permit!
Using terrorism
A midwife to a new religion
Or an independent nation
From all-quarters must be
Denied support and attention!

Never ending stories come out of my mouth
Yet never what I really feel.
Surprising surges of happiness overcome my being
Then endless rivers flow from my eyes.
Love is what I give away to everyone around me
Acceptance is what I wish to gain back.
All the smiles and laughs surface from my skin
When deep inside an unshaken fear haunts me
My hands a comforting touch to other people
They only claw at myself when I’m alone
Spreading positivity is what I pride myself in
Bottling up all the fear and insecurity is what I am good at.

I disobeyed my parents
And married her when I was younger
She seemed so shy and caring
but then she felt colder
She used to respect my space
but then she sat on my shoulder
She used to not criticize me
but she eventually became bolder
I want to turn back time
And find someone else before I grow older.
------------------------
She put her dreams aside
And married me when I was younger
And when times were tough
I understood why she had to be colder
When I needed her
She was always on my shoulder
I was never that daring
So she turned bolder
I learned to love her
And appreciate her as I grew older.

I'd put on such a strong face when I would be out with everyone else
but in reality I was just like a cracked glass
But do you know what happens to cracked glass
when it gets put under pressure?
It breaks
and I know one day I'm going to break
till I don't live to see tomorrow
It's only a matter of time before everything comes crashing down
