Give me all your pretences, 'cause i have no defences Hide away your prejudices, i've thrown all my dices Put me on a pedestal, 'cause i like being the fake royal All the time,... ... all the time... That's how i'm fine, all these times... Let me know again how it feels to fly... for i don't care if it's just your lie...

Snit and Snat       Part 1     Different from me!        From a very young age, I was told what to think What to do how to do it how to dress how to drink When old enough to know all about this and about that I was told by my father to watch out for the SNATs! He told me such stories he stoked all my fears. I just could not sleep right not for nearly a year After all, he had told me that we were all SNITs, We live a good life here down in the pits Our people don’t mix with the SNATS up above We stay down in our pit that fits us like a glove The SNATS live above and control all the land Some live by themselves in holes in the sand. Some live in villages infested by rats They eat crazy food and they even have cats Don’t venture they said don’t stray way up there They will soon gulp you down without even a care. The noises they make shake our homes way down here It makes our young children cower in fear. Being curious I said, “I just have to know.   How do they live and where do they go? I must find this out I must venture up there And find the true story, what why and where.”                                   I climbed out of the pit and on to the sand Strange sounds I soon heard from way cross the land It was the sound of a SNAT making way through the gloom “SNAT! SNAT! SNAT!” he growled as he ran toward my doom. I climbed to a place, up atop a great tree The SNAT followed suit and sat next to me. His skin was all furry his eyes were bright blue He looked down at my feet and he took off my shoe He let out a SNAT laugh and ran down the tree I soon followed quickly and what do I see. The SNAT was now dancing and singing with glee, As loud as he could, SNAT! SNAT! SNAT!   1, 2, 3, I climbed up that tree and watched for a while The SNAT just kept dancing and showed a great smile    He was wearing my shoe as he danced through that night He didn’t even stop when it started to get light He sang that SNAT song over and over It stuck in my head even when I got older. But what happened that day I remember like new The SNAT stopped his dance and gave me my shoe. He pulled me aside opened his mouth up so wide I fast pulled away and tried hard to hide. Was he trying to eat me, would I soon meet my doom? I tried very hard to get out of the room He grabbed hold of my hand pulled me out on the floor Before I could blink, he was dancing once more Snat showed me some steps he took it quite slow In a very short time, I was ready to go I grabbed the snat's hand and showed him my moves Before very long we were hitting our grooves He sang his Snat song, just as loud as can be But then he just stopped and started looking at me He grabbed my 2 hands, forced me right out the door A tear fell from his eye and he dropped to the floor What mystery is this? What is that Snat doing? It was easy to tell something new was now brewing Snat thought and thought, this I cannot admit Had I just become friends with a Snit? What is this now? How can this be? Snits cannot be my friends they are different you see. As a small child, things were made very clear Stay away from the snits run away fast in fear They‘re skin is not hairy their eyes are not blue They do not know how to dance, not even soft shoe. Snits live in a pit, Snats live on the land Snats play in the woods, Snits play in the sand Snits are quite different I see that is true But just underneath they are much like Snats too. I don’t care what they do I don’t care what they say My new friend is a Snit I declare that today! The Snat then approached me and made it quite clear Saying, “I am your friend!” This was good news to hear We sat and we talked about this and about that He showed pictures of family and even his cat We planned great adventures where we should soon go Go out to the beaches and even see snow I will tell you these stories when they do unfold Exploring our world’s see, what treasures they hold Now my adventure, must end I admit I must go to my family way down in the pit Just as I was climbing down in the sand Snat was singing a new song as he traveled the land Snat! Snit! Snat! 1 2 3  Snat! Snit! Snat! You and me! Snat! Snit! Snat! 1 2 3  Snat! Snit! Snat! You and me!

I love the candor Of a mirror It never fibs Even when it’s broken My messy hair My chapped lips My pale face My sunken eyes My dark circles My tears My fears And my fake smile It reflects, reveal And unmask them all Without pretenses Prejudices or Delusions

Mirror
I'd love to learn how do not care About things that are so little - Like people that weirdly stare, So one is feeling extremely brittle. I'd love to be that simple man Believing that all gonna be fine. One day I'll even drop life-plan And rise my so distorted spine.

My Spine
Spitting occult lyrics to snow confusions. I being able to slow my own notions, Am called the Conformist. Am not crazy. See my brain? I swear am just eccentric. New blessings and abilities become insanity, Look, this is just an overflow of positivity, Still, saying am crazy, wont back me down,, Am just eccentrically gifted by himself different. Why not for the sake of being admit uniqueness? Cant change who am made, to this admit pleasing. A poet I am, not a writer, to me commit ceasing. Why are my unique thoughts referred 'twisted? Omit that **** and know eccentric means gifted.

Twisted nor Gifted
Life is but freedom Born carefree Simply the way we live Nothing but love For the beauty and acceptance Deep within our world We are aware of this simple rule Acceptance, gratitude and change Then we feared the simple Started weaving a web of intricacies Society was never the same More complicated and prejudiced Simple were looked at as insane True love was under suspicion Societal dogmas, mankind’s contribution Vengeance against the tenets of life That originally was gifted to us Mired in numerous strings, which controls Restricting our movement We long forgot, life is freedom True love is real, than ephemeral ones We created this reality, we are in None but us have to live like this Until the time comes for us to break free Go back to the unwritten golden rules Where life should thrive Without the fear from life itself

Life is but Freedom
Free the heart of prejudice Unleash the mind from impaling thoughts River of life, poisoned with lethal ideas Do not bleed unto death A stoic existence, between the dark alleys Life will never be the same Give freedom a chance, breathe the exuberance

Give Freedom a Chance
What do you see, when you look into A clear lake? When there's a ripple From skipping stones When waves rise golden Against sunlight Tell me, what do you see When you try and fathom With your orphaned eyes. What do you see Through orphaned eyes When you open a window When waves of warm light Come creeping in On dandelion wings To reach out to you To tell you A tale long forgotten from Your orphaned mind. What do you hear, when in a meadow With your buried ears Footfalls on velvet green; cry of a lone wolf That follows behind? Do you hear? Leaves, whispering secrets With the coming of a cool Autumn breeze; the silence Of the night, that leaves behind pearls On blades of grass? If only You could hear anything Anything at all; save stories That haunt you with songs Of a barren land. Would you stop, nomad? Stop yourself and breathe life Into those flowers, trampled In your trail. Would you taste your misery And seep, into The flavors of your orphaned soul And be whole? Yet you abnegate Subjectivity. In fear, in denial Why would you do so? Why would you do so? You know you stand On fractured pieces of you. Yet you hide behind faces Masquerading; far away Why would you ache To be a wraith; drifting When you're already home When you're already home.

Subjectivity
Oh, the price to pay to be slightly different! To slightly walk towards a different direction from the crowd How weary it is to go slightly against conformity! How dreary it is to go along with conformity! The conformance that often confines one's own creativity The solitude that goes along in breaking free Stemming from general envy Of a life run free
