You can only dream of
places I have been
Mentally,
All the things
I did for my family,
All they did,
instead of helping me,
Is trying to
put sense in me,
When I come to a point
Where I am
about to plead insanity,
A room of variances,
Out of body experiences,
Mental *******,
Heart full of spasms,
The ones
my past couldn’t fathom,
This ain’t a struggler’s anthem,
But I can’t help but,
Generalize,
And I can’t undermine,
That I felt heaven,
At least on my fingertips,
I found hope,
At the brink of disbelief,
Don’t blame the postman,
If you put the wrong address,
Life is a *****,
depending on how you dress her,
Let the broken glass,
Mess up the dresser,
Rosewood, Redwood, any wood,
If I could I would,
The more I clench my fists,
the more sand I loose,
But I choose not to,
just my screws,
My life is like a travelogue,
No just ticket needed just travel along,
Like a broken pen and a moleskin,
A DSLR and an eye to watch closely,
No backpacker,
Just a bad actor,
Modern day rye catcher,
Self financer ,
A mere puppet on the string,
That life hangs by,
finding questions to some bad answers,
Putting up with bad promise makers,
When a promise may curse,
Life is just a makeshift,
Life is what you make it,
Or make of it

Show me the way to hear mermaids singing
Instead of this obscurity I seem to be bringing
Show me the way to be happy and free
To let go of fear and somehow find me

Show me a way to get back to the good
To release all this hatred like I know I should
To release this turmoil and find my calm
To practice self love instead of self harm

To look in the mirror and like what I see
To not be scared of what stares back at me
The time has come, I pray it's not too late
To **** this demon, to leave this state

See me I'm confused, don't trust anymore
Is it human nature, evil to the core
Too many questions and the absence of answers
Depression my dear, you're my sadness financer

i am tired i am 50
i am tired caring family n kids
i am tired matching their needs
i am a wallet for any purchase
i am a financer  to studies
i am  for new clothes n tours
i am for house need and car
i am for hospital and festival
i am for fashions and cells
i am tired now i am 50
i am for gifts and taxes
i am for children and wife
but still am tired when i am 50.

Two answers
Extinction or reason
Harsh distinction
Humanity's treason
Are our lives unique
Among hundreds and billions?
Why do we control nature
By separating ourselves?
Endless, friendless
Evolving to get less
Age is no refinement
Inside is misalignment
Questions not solved by assignments
We live through confinement
Enhancers of cancer
Dancers and prancers
Funds without a financer

— The End —
