The Dog bared its fangs in vain, A desperate try to drive away, The beleaguering Lamb that trailed behind, Seeking warmth within its light. The Sheep sang a gentle tune, In bleats that sought to welcome in, The distant Pup that mourned alone, Born of tempests, weighed by woe.

To Fear Kindness
You’re that feeling that burns every time you’re filled, not spent we go back to learn It wasn’t what I meant The strong promises and lines that couldn’t be broken, you bent among all the go around rhymes It wasn’t what I meant The absent truths and stains of every little word stolen, you lent only to borrow pain and play It wasn’t what I meant and when you finally understood phrases couldn’t be ripped, but rent now there’s that silent separation It wasn’t what I meant.

It wasn’t what I meant
How do we clash so harsh and yet sparse but it lasts anger blush as we laugh

Dynamics
flawed interpretations unintentional messes obliterates my mind & the heart, it oppresses decisions are risky social constructs are fragile interactions give anxiety for some aren't as agile confidence is a faulty machine you never know when it'll collapse- doubt is a burden to the soul when the world is full of traps.

Traps
To stay out of trouble is to live in your bubble 'Don't mingle'- not subtle when you end in the rubble. Became a social butterfly only to hear the distant battle-cry as arrows struck you from up high & you began think, 'I'd rather die' than carry the weight- 'misunderstood' from societal challenges- understood- risk your peace - do you think you would? to become a figure - appearing 'good'.

In your Bubble
The two ol' pals are facing each other. He passes a glass of poison to his dear guest, leaning near the front door, slightly opened; and he's learning the reason— why he's standing there, about to storm out of the stone-cold apartment— 'bout to burst in tears shedding the vivid droplets that shouldn't be belonging to a mere ghost. Yet he's fleeting, escaping the scene still, while the owner of the kitchenette is putting back the bottle     to where it belonged;     and he's gone, present no longer. The drink on the rock—left on the shelf— is evaporating, following the vaporized guest, leaving the scent of faint alcohol that lulls the other friend to regretful sleep.

I wish I could be the right thing For the right person But I'm the wrong thing for everyone And everyone's wrong for me

misunderstandings
Conditional, conventional, this heart, And the tough thin cloak I wear. I give it to the few friends I make, With room and love, always, to spare. I met you in the valley, but the evidence was there, Your eyes hid the fear and weariness, Deep within the fire of a stare. Or retreated, free from scrutiny, To hide behind the fall of your hair. The secrets, however, weren't easy to guess, And for your good, I would do my part. So I know that your void is filled with less, Than fits your past or your darkest art. I've seen your anger, wrath, and need: It was protecting a kind and generous heart. Your friendship was a gift, you trusted in me, I trusted in you, which was better, I felt, Than calling out the humanity  I see, Within the rotten hand you were dealt. I hope that I brought to you something of use, Listening was the only thing that I knew how to give. If I brought you harm, or cause for alarm, Then the shame would stay with me                                     for as long as I live. They say that friendship is a place we go, When two, or more, are there, it is real. I'm confused but trying to understand, And I'm more than confident,                      that you know how that feels.

Good Friend, Good Person, Good-bye
I can handle ***** looks there and insults here I can handle your hatred and their sneers But misunderstandings are out of my control How you choose to understand me is out of my hold What I said myself, I can be called out for But what you heard, is my worry no more And I could care less About your interpretation When it's like I speak English And your language is set on Malaysian I'm sick and tired of apologising to you Especially when it's for your own wrong judgment too Why should I be saying sorry For how somebody else sees me I forgave you Although you never did ask for it And I accepted the apology Although I never did recieve it I try to look from your side So much that I forget to defend my side For once look at things from my point of view Maybe actually listen, before trying to get your point through I can say sorry for unintentionally hurting you But saying sorry for an innocent action is something I won't do So for the love of God get this huge misunderstanding out of your mind That you'll walk away after twisting my words and I'll cry over being left behind

Misunderstandings
You are the abundance of stars only visible to the dreamer in the wake of night The sun and its companions as they glow to shine a light on the surface of your skin You are the mischief that forms the toothy grin on the face of a child’s curiosity The everlasting glow on their faces as they question the world around them And I am lost in translation, confused, amused and somewhat enchanted To you I am the clouds that hide away your blue skies But to me I am the ones that shield you from the glare of a jealous sun And to each other we are foreign, bordered and misunderstood Lost in translation I’m waiting for you to understand , That to you; you’re nothing, but to me; you’re my dreamland

Lost in Translation
See the sky it so highly appreciated. See the world it is so highly criticized. See the bird it is so highly glorified. See the rain it so highly envisaged with love. See the land it is so highly sensitized. See the oligarchy it is so highly honored. See the hollow it is so highly rectified you see. See you, you are cherished and entitled with glory. See me, you shall find the disgrace and the coward traits in me. And see again the crazy going jolly fellow who stood there, see again the jumps he took for you, see a good one and take the rend of repent of the renounced rhetorical risky rumor. See again what THEY did and see again what you abide by...

In Search of Truth The path that I had chosen for the achievement of the eternal truth is giving me nothing now. It started asking me questions, tough to answer and tough to listen too. I overlooked the mesmerized turns and went straight towards the eternal truth but it now seems like it is not the truth which I am looking for. I became pliable for those paths which served a lot of misrepresentations and I took them. They cause me to believe that I am close but I am getting further away. We speak, we talk, we laugh in accordance with that they shall see us in the order but forgets the main reason's concern too. I didn't have any idea that I shall find myself broken into the various footsteps of the way to accomplish rather I thought that I have my own way to attain the truth. In search of myself first, I see nothing which has happened to be taken from entering into my own aspects but found it is portrayed by some others. In the meantime, if there is a way to exit this path I shall pay for it to my extreme extents eradicating eloquent evincing enemies eternally; my own deceiving traits from my real face. Horrendous hollows hanging horribly in this way, I can choose the other but then the truth shall also be redefined which is not the thing which I want. So what's the thing going to happen? Let it happen? I don't want it to happen I want some other things to happen happily. But it will happen whether I do anything but yes I can make it happen for my own good sake and for my truth also. Let the world come against me I shall fight fearlessly and cause a turbulence of revolution in the way and clear away all those fanatical footsteps and let the liberal moves of mine to fill the hollows and construe the way once again that, 'now it is the one which I expected and when all those questions shall become mere rumors of paradoxical ruins and of utmost pomposity. In that way which I believed and make the era believe shall be my way and that clears away all the barriers, In Search of Truth...'

"You are powerful, you are wonderful", but you are never enough. "You are beautiful, you are memorable", but you are always forgotten. "You are loved, you are adored", but you are always betrayed. "You are courageous, you are strong", but you always cry alone. "You are loving, you are kind", but you always push them away. "You are honest, you are true", but no one ever looks at you.

Contradictions
My heart is thumping with pain, I feel ashamed, The biggest endurance race where there is nothing to gain. My heart is inflamed. Pain is the gateway to nothingness, People only notice  satisfaction, No one notices the teardrop of weakness. People only notice the reaction.

Murdered tears
It is hard to lose someone even more so if they're walking on earths surface even though your earth; your home; is crushing underneath their footsteps It is hard to lose someone even more so if they're making it hard by making it easy to love hate It is hard to lose someone even more so if that person was in your heart but clawed their way out through phrasial combinations thinking they were helping it to beat It is hard to lose someone and it is incommensurable
