Away Get yourself out of here Disgust? Of course not. I said... Leave this place I cannot hold on Any longer To such a Corrupted tabernacle I'll swallow the pain Try not to inflict it You weren't the one Removed my arm Now I'll say again Run away From the injured one.

[Mayhem in the Temple]
"You're my sun," He murmured, picking up the traces of daisies That scattered the ground, "My moon," He caught the petals as they fell from the cluster, "My stars," A sigh parted his lips, Dropping the injured bouquet from his hands, "And everything in between..." The petals spread near him Like diamonds flashing on the soil Forming a cosmos around his tracks. He lost himself for love and in return, The galaxy lost him too.

Cosmos
Being physically torn Left a mental tear And I have to hope Both heal at the same rate

Broken
Scorched flesh, So inflamed and infected, Fresh damage to self. Flames dance after thee, As you break away. Your in dire need for a rescue, But hate to complain. Burns meet silence, As cream heals all but the screams. They set your insides aflame, Everything physically a crisp, As you mentally try to breath.

Set Aflame
Broken down and bust Fallen idol with rust No love nor lust Forgotten covered in dust. Large serving of self pity Tired of this grey city Back to the nitty gritty Oh such a pity. The end is nigh Best quickly get high Do it down on the sly Knowing everyone will ask why. Take a big bite of that crust In God we pretend to trust Life doesn't have to be just Broken down and bust.

Bust
My enemies have injured my wings not to fly I am with bare head and foot under naked sky Now I am ready for the brawl from eye to eye Being professional soldier I haven't learnt to cry Enemies may resort to their tricks being weak I know my limitations I will never ever seek My future is bright their future is but just bleak Their actions are oblique my approach is unique I am determined to be soldier of God to be martyr I  do not have a shopkeeper's mind to go for barter I don't attack from back but remain front to declare I am a soldier being frank straightforward and fair Col Muhammad Khalid Khan Copyright 2016 Golden Glow

Injured Wings
When I was in her shoes, somewhat, I could be injured by any word, anything. If only they could feel what I feel. I forget what I felt. I have only cultivated a hard shell, as I dole out negativity.

When I was in her shoes
picture perfect plastic dolls line up in the ballet hall masks adjusted, shoes pulled on the cameras flash, the lights are on. flaunt their figures, beguile the boys wildly pirouetting with a perfect poise a silent chorus of envy they sing patch the masks and sew a grin. the curtain falls, the masquerade drops her pointe shoes are all worn out her toes are bleeding, her ankle’s sprained but a sparkling reputation she has claimed. a perfect picture of plastic dolls lined up with their masks all on the colours fade, the angle’s changed to show beneath, their melted face.

Picture Perfect Plastic Dolls
*everyone wants to slip away casually - but you cant slip through the cracks without earning a few scrapes if youre caught between a rock and a hard place, something will end up broken because the foundation you build your love on cannot be made of something like sand*

YOU CANT JUST ******* LEAVE
I was watching as the parade passed by All the soldiers and the tanks I figured that in some small way I must go tell them "Thanks" I worked my way throughout the crowd To where the parade would end And hopefully my small "thanks" Would get me a new friend I watched as people finished I got my words straight in my head I walked up to a soldier And this is what he said... I am not a hero Just a soldier, nothing more I'm just doing my duty As so many have before I'm a soldier, not a hero I am just the same as you I'm just doing my duty As I know that you would too I shook his hand and said my "Thanks" Then I moved away, unnerved I had to tell him more... Tell him that I'm glad he served I turned and at that moment I saw, a glint, a little sheen Right above this mans left boot Where his shin bone should have been I went back on my mission I had my words there in my head He smiled, pulled his pant leg down And this is what he said... I am not a hero Just a soldier, nothing more I'm just doing my duty As so many have before I'm a soldier, not a hero I am just the same as you I'm just doing my duty As I know that you would too I shook his hand and smiled Left him standing all alone With a leg of polished metal Where once before was bone To me, he is a hero And he will be 'till he's dead I remember how he cut me off And I remember what he said.... I am not a hero Just a soldier, nothing more I'm just doing my duty As so many have before I'm a soldier, not a hero I am just the same as you I'm just doing my duty As I know that you would too

Hahaha Quincy Valero, once again on crutches He always manages to do this to himself This time he was in his required exercise class and dislocated his knee I just laugh at this When we were younger he got roaring drunk and began doing an inebriated salsa "SALSA KING!" We all chanted All of a sudden one leg wen one way and one the other way He screamed in pain It was a  hairline fracture Another time he had a lovers quarrel with this girl he was seeing They fought all the time Like all the time And one night in a furious rage Quincy punched a wall and fractured his hand A few weeks later I had a pool party And Quincy had to wrap his damaged hand in a plastic bag and hold it at a 90 degree angle the whole time He takes all these injuries to heart He's the kind of guy who has always got to be moving He's always gyrating, talking, laughing And when he's even the tiniest bit immobile or disabled He goes into a short period of depression and self pity It's just funny to me because just when I think he'll be okay Some how he manages to just get himself hurt The clutz haha Even now, I'm talking to him He hurt his thumb the other night at a party he threw two days ago LONG LIVE THE SALSA KING!
