My last 5 quarters of try Buying 2 rolls to pry Into the life that you use Leaving me to walk heating pavements Stalking me back to my tomb Housing your complaint Thousands of famished peasants lies How does an imbecile cry Mercy at the dots Sunshines rotting cost Burns of writing too high Food like a stamp and when Didn't I pay for you Crossing disregard Empty armies arms May I have some food

The Poverty Hi!
where am I? where am I going? it s hard to say. I am running from the dark, 'cause it scares me, and the Light is just trying to blind ME. I live in a world where Black and White are all a person like ME can feel, all a person like me can see. I can't feel colours, cause shades are not a part of my heart. My soul is concrete, Just the light and the darkness that are sleeping in my mind, my heart, my soul. It is hard to find another one like me but that s what a traveller is made for. To find the light in the darkness, and the dark that's resting in the light. Like the stars in the night and the shadows in the light. These must be parts of a soul, broken apart waiting to find eachother. But they need help. From me. From you. From us. 'Cause who could be able to fix the broken if not the broken ones? Who'd be able to match the light of a star with the shadow of its own if not us, the ones who' d been broken so many times that the count has already lost a milion tears

find me
My heart taking flight on wings that inspire the green in the valley heart and soul now afire Driving the distance arriving the peak unable resistance not strong, yet not weak The music and tune a light from a spark driving me on though the night and the dark Not now to believe I was ever alone for poetry bled and sins too atone

You're right. The world's not black anymore. But it's still looking grey. Okay. It isn't night anymore. But it surely isn't day. The world isn't upside down anymore. But I'm still not looking straight. The door isn't locked up tight anymore. But it's still a locked up gate. I might not be standing still anymore, But I'm still not ready to run. My finger isn't on the trigger anymore. But I haven't put down my gun. You may not see me cry anymore. But you still don't see me grin. No, I'm not shutting you out anymore. But I'm still not letting you in. I'm shaking hands with the darkness. And I'm shaking hands with the light. But I can't let go of either, Or they'll see each other and fight. Don't assume that Because I don't sink anymore, That I must be flying. Just because I'm not dead anymore, Doesn't mean that I'm not dying.
