On city streets
late at night
in the cold winter
I walk
and run
not too numb
to feel
not too blind
to see
my dream
like a summer day
long gone now
only cold to crystallize my fate
like frost on the window
icy patterns
trying to get in
I reach
and pound my fist
against the wall
of humanity
of denial
stretching across the horizon
as far as I can see
I am lost in a crowd
only the sun
beating down
reminding me
I am hot, so hot
I'm going to die
on city streets
It won't be easy
remember me
I walk
and run
away
like a summer day
long gone now

I used to drawing these big yellow circles.
They would always make me happy.
Every time I did, I expected miracles
And I know that that seems sappy.
But there was just something about it
That forced my mouth to smile
I wouldn’t even have to think about it
At least that lasted for a little while.
Things have changed now that I’m older
I don’t have time to look at colors
Now, instead of thinking they look bolder
They’ve faded like light through closed shutters
Is it just that time has worn me down
Or is it just the truth in life
That an innocent smile turns to a frown
And a happy yellow circle into strife

Before you eat that..
Take a look in a mirror
and tell me what you see.

I see One-Hundred fourty three pounds of fat
Staring back at me.
I haven’t even eat in two days,  
How can this be?
That I look bigger today
Than I looked last week ...

My tragic love life is filled with sadness and pain,
It could very well be explained by the amount that I weigh!
Before you eat again,
Take a look in the mirror and tell me this,
What amount of food means more than your bliss?

Things aren't getting better
I still am not getting better
Hear my heart shattering
Still couldn't stop caring .
Living life as lifeless soul
Still u care about achieving goal.
I know u love some else
But I couldn't even love myself .
I wished you could see that I m crying
bleeding and the pain is over bearing
  may be you will never know
But I still want u to know.
