I wake to wash off my civilian blood
I will tell my brother good bye
I will blow a kiss to my mom as I wave her bye
I will put on my boots
Hard, doughty soldier ready for war
Marching forward
Marching on
Turtle shelled, never deformed
Only to see the beauty of the Redrose*🌹

why can't family be family again
we used to always be friends
we used to huddle together
whenever we got scared
we felt the warmth in one anothers arms
because we knew the love was there

we used to build forts out of whatever we had in our rooms
and wage sars
throwing pillows, books, and brooms

we used to have mini mosh pits
with just the four of us
we headbanged and pushed
we screamed and pretended to cuss

we used to protect eachother
we used to defend one another
we used to stand together like brothers and sister
when mom punished us we would all resist her

we used to be a family
a family that would always care
we used to be a family with more happiness than despair
we used to be a family that never hogged food or air
we used to be a family that told eachother we were there

we used to be a family
a family that sat down toghether and ate
we used to be a family full of our own ideas that we create
we used to be a family that got along without debate
we used to be a family with more love than hate

so why can't family be family again
and remember why those times were so good
why can't family be family again
and treat eachother the way we should

why can't family be family again
and throw the hate away
why can't family be family again
and invite the love to stay

Your beauty is as that of from the heavens your smile,
your look
your person
your words
your voice.
You glow as the sun you glow,
So bright and high, can i come close even closer, can i be too close  should i be scared of been burnt, of melting off
cause i swear all i want is to be close, very close, too close
..........
letting me in into that voice,
finding the depth of that smile,
knowing your words,
understanding your person,
being part of that glowing heart.
Too close but how?

Can I be me
Can I scream
Can I scream out lightning and thunderstorms
And let my eyes drop out this heaviness like a flooding ran

Can I be free
Can I run
Non stop
Can I run until I feel nothing but freedom form my nostrils to my heart, until my heart beat out song of dreams spoken in my head


Can I be me
Can my thoughts be really real
Can I ask and get too much
Cause this too much is just as much as a mustard seed
Can I let it grow

Can I be me ?

If indeed I have powers
If indeed I have powers in who I am
Just me
Can I just be me?

Now I know it's danger
I hope I make it out of here
Cause all I see is flames of fire in the air, I can't even see clear
The wind that blows around me songs the word fear
Hiding in an uncompleted building now keeps me thinking
I have destroyed my body God's own sanctuary
The hills has crumbled into a leveled floor
And the leveled floor is flooded
See I have drowned into insanity
What the good book called vanity
I have lost my values in frivolity and replaced it with vacuums
I swear I did not want to follow Kinsley
But now I guess it's too late to say, seeing the corps at my back with my legs gradually lacking speed as I asked God just if I can find your grace one more time, then I promise..................

The world is sweet I said
Lost tasted so loving & romantic
Until I heard it has ruptured tunde's kidney
....................
Yes I did not want to
This very Friday night
I swear I did not want to follow Kinsley
But now I guess it's too late to say, seeing the corps at my back with my legs gradually lacking speed as I asked God just if I can find your grace one more time, then I promise..................


As I see the raise rise of the sun, I recall my originality, I the son of a new dawn, who has forgotten hence where he is from
........
But If the prodigal son returns to his original form
He will still find grace and be regarded a Royal born
And I swear I did not want to follow Kinsley
Who came to **** still and slay me away for your peculiar presence
So here am I asking a saviour to please save me from my mistakes about to catch up on me
I swear I will become a better me.

Only if I can be closer,
Just if I have a little more lever,
Or perhaps some wings to get me high enough to tell her how much I love her.
Beauty can be viewed in various dimensions but like a diamond, she marches all sides.

Only if wishes were houses,
She would tell me words I wish to ear,
She would hold me close even when I try disappear
Her sweetsound song will ring in my ears

Only if I can be closer
Just if I have a little more lever
Cause it will be of a grate honour if only,
only if I could feel her hair, kiss her lips
Cerers her skin into a vibe that only us can feel
It won't just be only in my dreams

Only If I can be closer
Just if I have a little lever
I will tell her what I feel about her
Right in the street of the Valentine
I will tell her I love her, only if I have the lever

All alone in the ran
It hurts deep down but I won't fill the pain
I will just let the water wash down the anger
And let the wind blow away my shattered heart heart shattered into powder

And when I see the lightning and thunders
It keeps me thinking how we ever stayed so long together
Cause you were just like the weather
And I though you will go fairer on me
But no you were a summer with a thunder

All alone in the ran
Singing the song love is vain
Cause theirs no one to huddle
No one to kiss me and tell me I love you
All out alone in the ran
Trying to hill my pain

— The End —
