More than human
Michael Smit Nov 2018
You've thought of it haven't you?
The idea that we are more than human
It's a rather big assumption
And who am I to be assuming

We yearn for more
But we're given less
No Solutions it this life
Try the next

We are given the word soul
A common cliche
But the definition sticks
We've all had something to say

What happens when we die ?
Is the end the beginning or the beginning the end
Were we fed a lie
Left with nowhere to be send

Time will tell
And we will see
Don't let this keep you in a cell
What must be will be

Art out of pains
Michael Smit Nov 2018
I can feel the greatness in my veins
But I don't know how to bend it
How do you turn art out of pains
When your story hasn't yet ended

I want to let them in
But do I want the attention
Will I do it for the win
And gain their affection
Do I need their opinions comments and thoughts
Or am I better off
Alone with my thoughts

I can set it free
Let it change and inspire
I can let them see
What a heart can desire
Nov 2018 · 82
Just a bit of believe
Michael Smit Nov 2018
When there's nothing left to say
And they chose their path
Will you give away
Will you turn to wrath

Will you fall, and say that you're okay
Or will you sway like a fairy of a new day
Will you be the better man
And say that you can
Or will you tear yourself apart
Forgetting about God's plan

If they leave
Let them go
If they come back
You will know

He doesn't do anything without meaning
That you know
So drop the feeling you're feeling
And let go

Let yourself fly
As high as you may
Don't lose your try
Ignore what they say

You can do anything
If you allow yourself
You can try everything
He looked at himself

Not sure
Michael Smit Nov 2018
It's hard to remember what you've learned
When all the tables have turned
Leaving you burnt

But within those flames you found power
Like a phoenix from the ashes we rise
Flying high, at the highest tower
Watching the morning sunrise

But you never stay the same
Every now and then you change a lane
In a constant becoming
Always drumming and humming
To something

I'm not sure
That there's a cure
If I'm broken and alive
If a piece of me survived

I seem to be breathing
But am I truly okay
Am I still feeling
Or did that too fade away
Nov 2018 · 288
Don't fight
Michael Smit Nov 2018
I don't want to choose sides
And don't you dare force me
There is a fight that hides
One only I clearly foresee

You sometimes make me sick
To extremes that I only sleep
You lay it on so thick
That my heart can't help but weep

So then I distance myself
Till the storm is away
It's better for my health
And than to do what you say

I still love the both of you
But sometimes love is a arrow
Even if its true
It left my choices narrow

I don't want to see you fight
Go do it somewhere else
I'll go look for light
And listen to some church bells
Nov 2018 · 323
Flow
Michael Smit Nov 2018
They say only dead fishes go with the flow
But I don't know
I don't mind a slow flow, you know?
Drifting toward something I don't know
It's how you grow, you know?
Grow your flow
Nov 2018 · 436
Only human
Michael Smit Nov 2018
You may sometimes feel like nothing
Just wishing to feel something
But Oh you beautiful being
What are you not seeing ?

Perfect is a myth
And we all have our trouble
Don't keep staring at your monolith
We all came from the rubble

We cried inside
Lied and hide
But no one is superior
We're human to the exterior
Try to zoom in
And see that you're human
You were trapped in perfects illusion
Nov 2018 · 286
Try
Michael Smit Nov 2018
Try
I will keep trying
No I'm not lying
I will keep believing
That this I will be achieving

There's no giving up
So you best go rest
That's what's up
I level up

This is my power hour
My sweet and sour
My mind is energized
My spirit can't be tranquilized
Reason memorized
No more false lies
Nov 2018 · 121
Plain and simple
Michael Smit Nov 2018
If you keep it simple
And keep your heart detached
You prevent it's *******
Emotions surpassed

Pay
Michael Smit Nov 2018
Pay
We pay to life
We pay to die
We even pay to ask why

We pay for good quality
and for quantity
We pay for feeling
and for dreaming

We pay for caring
for simply daring
We pay for a good placing
in the racing

There are some things you don't have to pay for
But I don't recommend looking for them at the store
Things like love and breathing
Things like leaving meaning

Give kindness without asking any in return
In return you won't burn
A human weakness money
Makes them think funny

They **** each other for the gold
Leaving only a horrid story told
Say something and you are sold
Replace their humanity with a chunk of gold
Nov 2018 · 138
Enchanted
Michael Smit Nov 2018
When your mind is constantly enchanted
And your being has demanded
For you to respond
You have to make them fond

So I write a rhyme here and there
But how am I to prepare
Let them in your mind if you dare
Find your motive and see if they care

I find my magic
But it's a bit tragic
I can fill you with sarrow
And make you think of tomorrow
Nov 2018 · 98
Contradiction
Michael Smit Nov 2018
They say you're too hot
They say you're too cold
They do what their told
While I'll be bold

My minds dressed in blue
And theirs in red
They remember what's said
While I forget

Love and hate
we contemplate
Fear and drive
we survive

Try to distract
And keep in tact
You have to let your flow blow
Don't say Oh no
Choose between adore and bore
And let your glimmer shimmer

If you grow
you glow
Time will show
Now you know
What I don't know
Nov 2018 · 85
My person
Michael Smit Nov 2018
I was a lost soul, I found you and we got lost together
I thought you, you thought me
We were happy
Isn't it funny
You and me

Forever thankful
Even grateful
He gave me a golden key
A beautiful pearl
Am I the only to see

She shifts like a thousand seas
Gracefully at peace
While stunning indeed
Her I need
To complete my sanctuary
Written for my person
Nov 2018 · 96
Multi
Michael Smit Nov 2018
My mind is a multidimensional space
My choices multidirectional
I need my multidisciplinary
My body being multicellular

We life in a multiform world
Each of us multilayered
Our lives multilevelled
Some choose to become multigravida
Some choose multimedia
Some become multimillionaires

It's all multi phrases
All while being multipartite

Soul on fire
Michael Smit Nov 2018
You know the feeling
The sudden seeming
Soul on fire
Hearts desire

The sudden blast
No more past
Like you're the last
Don't go to fast

Souls illumination
Hearts illustration
Bloods intoxication
Minds revelation

Soul on fire
No need to hire
I'll walk the wire
I'll dance with fire

It's probably true
You see through hue
They'll turn their backs
Never looking back
You were never part of their pacts

When they degrade
Time to upgrade
Lesson received
Now the tables turned
We've all burned
Lesson learned
Page turned

Soul on fire
You walk the wire
While they all stare
Like you are rare

Soul on fire
No need for rest
Dancing in fire
I did my best
Nov 2018 · 74
Stay up late
Michael Smit Nov 2018
Sometimes I stay up late
Contemplating about life
Thinking of my fate
Of what I had to sacrifice

I dream of love lost and gained
of the feelings I've restrained
I think of what's past and to come
if not all , a hefty sum

I pass each and every banner
gaining some table manner
I get out my planner
and fall in planner manner

In the late my minds awake
no time to wait
If I do I forsake
no room left for mistake
Nov 2018 · 84
Unspoken
Michael Smit Nov 2018
It's the words left unspoken
that leaves your mind a woken
that keeps your heart broken
Love unopened

Rather act with devotion
Show your emotion
Say what you feel
and let it heal
Reopen your seal
Nov 2018 · 154
If crazy
Michael Smit Nov 2018
If crazy was a place
Maybe he had a face
One no one could erase
One they had to face
In this crazy place

If crazy was alive
Will he try to strive
Will he shine and survive
If he falls
will he revive  

If crazy was a dream
How would it seem
Serenity and grace
Illuminate the place
Or terror of error
The often bearer
The rarer mirror
But never clearer
Oct 2018 · 466
Don't compare
Michael Smit Oct 2018
Here is a quick lesson
a important session
You are the reflection of perfection

To compare someone to you
What am I to do
Compare a rock to a mountain
Compare a heavenly spring to a fountain
Compare a stone to a pearl
Your hair has that perfect curl

When you compare yourself your light is dimmed
It's almost like you sinned
Your self-respect trimmed

In the end we're all unique
And comparing ourselves with others is stupid
the language the weak speak
a poison arrow from Cupid
Oct 2018 · 132
Fragile heart
Michael Smit Oct 2018
The thing about a fragile heart
You never know when it will fall apart
It may be strong and smart
But there's always a bigger part
The part of art

Your intentions are pure and true
You genuinely care
But have you thought this through
Will you dare

Declare your heart
or fall apart

Don't let them too near
You felt nowhere
wishing to be elsewhere
Prepare to repair
Oct 2018 · 99
Addiction
Michael Smit Oct 2018
I don't even have to identify the word
Addiction is a hateful sword
You slowly drift toward
Something you can't afford

The problem is ignored
Your mind is on board
There is no switch board
You became a warlord

The chances to be restored
The thinning of your power cord
You lose your souls harsichord
Leave your potential unexplored

Addiction becomes your destruction
Your very reduction
Induction then destruction
Alien abduction

You leave the people that love you broken
There are no please unspoken
How do you tend to the heartbroken
When their hearts are already frozen
Woven with explosion
Emotion won't reopen

Now your choking
You have to be joking
I knew i would be losing
The one my heart was choosing
Oct 2018 · 305
Not everyone will like you
Michael Smit Oct 2018
Not everyone will like you
You will be their taboo
Say your name
And they'll ask who?

But why do you have to care?
Just because you deny another face to wear
In the end it's worse if you don't like you
If you let them stop you from doing what you do
When they break you
leaving you asking who?

You can't please everybody
Trying to be somebody
You will end up with nobody

Rather be yourself
You can't be anyone else
The right people will appreciate you
Please don't change that perfect you

Not everyone will like you
But who really cares ?
As long as you like you
I know I do
Oct 2018 · 82
The one that got away
Michael Smit Oct 2018
Have you ever heard a story told
One the mind seems to hold
It's a bit old
But worth the told

Her eyes were glistening
My heart was listening
My brain ignoring
I didn't know of the mourning

We slowly start healing
Our hearts beating
My logic falling
Losing a calling
She's now for the taking
And my heart was breaking

The one that got away
I couldn't make her stay
But maybe someday
Love will find a way
And make her stay
Oct 2018 · 70
Random thoughts
Michael Smit Oct 2018
I wonder if they see me
Past the face I claim to be
I wonder if they know me
And if they can maybe show me

Maybe they see the obscene thoughts
And try break the countless locks
Try to climb the mammoth mountain
To find only an empty fountain

I surround myself with change
Always keeping it strange
Makes it hard to figure out
I would know
I'm still in doubt
Oct 2018 · 10.8k
Overthinking
Michael Smit Oct 2018
I always overthink
Leaving permanent ink
One thought
Next another
Each and every other
The constant annoying utter
Oct 2018 · 141
Backspace-Ms
Michael Smit Oct 2018
I push backspace
And my feelings start to erase
I get taken to a new place
Where I can't see your face

I became more effervescent
But I still missed your scent
No room for terror or error
A survivor to the exterior

But a feeling like this
How could I resist ?
Face to fist

Stranger to lover
Lover to enemy
I lay here broken
With you my remedy

So I push backspace once more
And my feelings struggle to erase
I hope for a new place
But I still see your face
Oct 2018 · 96
My protection- Ms
Michael Smit Oct 2018
I look at my reflection
The sting of rejection
I let down
My protection

I let them in
They see my sin
They see my burning
How I was turning

Caring became scaring
They started boring and snoring till morning
Exploring ignoring
Fleeing feeling
Leaving meaning

They held their vanity
While I lost my sanity
Losing reality
I needed protections gravity

I found my beat
Brought the heat
My heart feat
Repeat

Don't let them near your body
The king you have to embody
I became weary
Making me a fiery
A deadly enemy
A heavenly symphony

Put on your protection
Fight their expectation
An explosion
Of ocean

Animal instinct-Ms
Michael Smit Oct 2018
Even though it was animal instinct
I couldn't distinct
My soul trying to restrict
My thoughts evict

We are elite
No defeat
We are superior
They are inferior
But in the exterior
We too are inferior

We strive
Try to improvise
We try to survive
And to revive
Our bee hive

We care for our own
Deep to the bone
We feel alone
And crave a home

We bleed
We plant a seed
Everyone's got a need
Their soul's they had to feed

So be kind
Let this remind
You might rewind
Truth to find
Oct 2018 · 107
May we meet again- Ms
Michael Smit Oct 2018
In light we are born
In darkness we return
Our souls leaving
Our families weeping
You're body's eternal sleeping

Never though there could be an ending
To such a beautiful beginning

You left us here
In total despair
Nothing could repair
Our hearts you held dear
You're souls ascension we fear
I should have held you near
No more fear

But you're happy now
Up in the clouds
You can look around
In the end happiness is bound
Heaven you found
While we're here on the ground
You made us very proud

I still want to scream and shout
We're here without
The soul that made our hearts pound
But it's okay
Because heaven you found
Happiness finally bound

Your soul finally got out
To the promised land
Our savior with you hand-in-hand
Even we do not quite understand
We can't fall into depression and get sad
Because someday we will meet again
May we meet again

With your mind put to ease
May your soul rest in peace
Oct 2018 · 115
Broken star-Ms
Michael Smit Oct 2018
I kept falling
My heart calling
No more stalling
My heart kept calling

No way to erase
No one to take his place
I though my heart was safe
Time to erase
He left a empty space

I needed you
You had no clue
What I would do just for you
Ever blue

You were my safe haven
No more the given
My hearts luminescence
My souls evanescence
Taken away
Life sentenced

Now I'm in the dark
Falling apart
Where's the spark
That held us to part
Now I'm at the start
It fell apart

Stitch it together
Won't hold forever
But till we're together
I'll keep it together

You're a broken star
You went to far
You got a scar
Now you're in a bar
Head and heart about to spar
The life of a broken star
Oct 2018 · 419
Art -Ms
Michael Smit Oct 2018
You were my art
From the very start
I could not part
You from my heart

You were my muse
The brightest fuse
There's no use
To set you loose

Mona Lisa smile
From a mile
Beauty shine
I'll make you mine
Just need some time

In love and grace
You're my favorite place
No erase
Of your face
You filled the space
You found your place

You were my art
My endless start
I could not part
My brand new start
Oct 2018 · 122
Endurance-Ms
Michael Smit Oct 2018
I look for reassurance
Preparing for the endurance
I take my place
This is a race

I start to pick up the pace
Only the best for first place
I have yo keep moving
No time for losing
This was your choosing

It's a race against time
The spot yours or mine
Whoever is the best
Makes it to the rest
And we'll continue the test

Hold on to your endurance
The little reassurance
You'll win the race
You'll make first place
Oct 2018 · 145
Find your peace-Ms
Michael Smit Oct 2018
When they tear at you piece by piece
It's best to stand and find your peace
Even though your heart began to freeze
The last power you have to squeeze

Find your power
Or they'll devour
You within a hour
Let's make them sour

In the end we fight our battle
Don't let your world rattle
You're not the only one with scars
Look to the stars
There are millions of us
Broken and tired
Simply fired
We are wired
To tired  

So do your best
Forget the rest
Build your nest
And get some rest

Because tomorrow is another round
The power you found
To stick around
To stand your ground
They'll hear your sound
Oct 2018 · 111
Soul of the ocean-Ms
Michael Smit Oct 2018
In peace I stare
While the oceans collide
With the fishes the hide
Remarkable beauty inside
With their arms wide
I fall inside

I sink with time
A different rhyme
Don't go too fast
I watch it pass
I breathe in class

The currents take me away
Leaving my soul astray
While they float to
I shallow the blue
Currents in hue

Soul of the ocean
We swim in perfect notion
In tune with motion
Motion of the ocean

In the depth our hearts lie
Our feet tied
Our souls wide
We swim inside

To the soul of the ocean
You don't need potions
You're in perfect motion
Motion of the ocean

— The End —
