I was an idiot back then,
those trips to Rebekah's hovel.
though they did make me sentimental,
for the days when her dad had taught me guitar
for eight weeks when I was thirteen.

she told me of a suicide dream
that utilized her iron deficiency.
I told her I would tell her parents
if she started pushing it in motion,
that made her cry,
though in retrospect, I wanted her to die.

I was at that misery factory age
when your heart pumps nothing
but razorblades and jealousy,
and the death of some overly-depressed
girl would at least give me a story to
tell.

I was a pseudo-lover,
writing page upon page
of poetry for Sheila,
I used an alias for her:
"Nature's Criminal".
It felt appropriate.
what she did to my
emotions seemed rather
unnatural.

we would kiss on dark, dirt roads,
and duck when cars would passby.
she would always preface
our encounters with,
"remember this doesn't mean anything."

now, Rebekah only writes to tell
of artists signed to Saddle Creek.
she got married to some diabetic,
acne-marred, ***-fiend that
bares the burden of a pet peeve
that revolves around bananas.

now, I only see Sheila,
when some boy is ******* her,
when she feels beyond used.
in her parasitic apartment,
I always remind her
they don't mean anything.

I put the church away from me
But God never left me alone
I told the minds of men to go home
Wisdom has shown me a new day
I saw the poorman as simple men
the beggar as someone without a friend
the homeless without a voice to say
“I too am just like you in every way”
I see people reach for worldly goods
my thinking says they’ve misunderstood
it’s not the gold or silver lining in the cloud
it’s Gods favor he should treasure so proud
And when I humbly walk beside you now
it will be to help you or show you how
just what makes the world go round
how God leads you without a sound
Should you see me passby your day
let each of us bow to each others way
knowing God asks us to only pray
men might hear God in what we say
Namaste

I am no Maria Clara
Nor the girl who can't even break a glass
Nor the princess of a kingdom
Nor the graceful dancer
Nor the sweet little girl
Nor the pretty, head turner type
Nor the lady who pours emotions
Nor the girl of your dreams

I am clumsy and awkward
And the girl who acts in a boyish manner
And the hunter of a forest
And the graceless explorer
And the tough intimidating girl
And the one who you would just passby
And the lady who builds walls around her
And the girl of your nightmares

So I wonder what you see in me.

*What did you see in me?

Cause I can't seem to find anything in myself.

Just because.

An eye in the sky
By the moon does spy
Zooms in down to earth
On a boy wondering why
In  leisure he sits
In open window sill high
Of the school's west wing
On the band hall side.
Feeling the wind passby
His face and through hands
Smell the flowers nearby
And gazing into the sky
Where the eye dost lie
But outside the obvious
Of beautiful blue sky.
There is a tornadic storm
Where in the mind does lie
The gravity of love
And he still wonders why
He waits window sill high.
Staring into azure sky
Waiting for the one he loves
Wondering if their fates will tie.
While he lounges day by day
As the yellow eyes passes him by,
Either to love or die.

with a feeling to escape
not from YOU
but from my very own self

hope once gleamed in my eyes
had wings always ready to glide

now my heartaches
with labyrinths of regrets

no lustre can overcome this
as the shadow of darkness dwells In

just trapped
with the feeling to escape
as everyday passby.

i.
The LAUGHS, the SMILE—
Everything beautiful
             I showed to them TRANSPARENTLY.
    The CRIES, the GRIEVANCES—
Everything hideous
            I intentionally UNDISCLOSED to them.

ii.
I TRIED, I FOUGHT—
           Brutally following
           The TREND of this world,
     But their JUDGEMENT continues
           As if I transgressed
           The DOMINION of the kingdom they ruled.

iii.  
All I ever wanted is to be ACCEPTED
       All I ever needed is to feel the LOVE,
              but this world DENIED my EXISTENCE
              and they marks my life BELITTLED.

iv.  
They UNDERSTAND only my songs
       and HELPLESSLY UNHEARD my inner voice.
      They APPRECIATED only my talents
       and couldn't see my TREMENDOUS efforts.

v.
I might have the FAME,
           the WEALTH and the POWER
           But still my soul longs for
           PEACE, FRIENDSHIP and a LOVER.
    Inside of me was full of INSECURITY,
          ANXIETY and SELF-PITY
          and SHOOT! I CAN'T TAKE IT NO MORE!

vi.
The AFTERLIFE awaits me,
              Maybe there, I can find SERENITY.
       A place where no people to please,
              No more hurting feelings
              And geez! No more of me
             PRETENDING.

vii.  
As the night begin to passby
              I could finally get some REST.
        To all perfectionist out there,
              be GLAD, cause you won't see either
              hear me anymore, ADIOS!

The pretentious lobby
Of my arrogant mind
Makes ego my hobby
Stubborn and unkind

I am like a dead field
Where nothing grows
Inside my own shield
Listening to the passby crows

My vision is strong
Yet, I am blind
My wrong becomes my wrong
I have a clueless mind

No smile, only frowns
And fumes of anger rise
From within that drowns
My eyes emotionless cries

I am trying to build
A cheerful being as I was
Before negativity filled
My bloodstreams as a cause

Hence, I am stray and alone
Trying to polish myself again
To shine tho am hard as a stone
Neglecting all my unfelt pain...

Smoke peering over the mountain peak,
the mornings here you can smell the trees,
screaming with heat of human passion wildfires,
its bright out, but the moon is hidden,
behind a grey veil that sees through the heavens,
its almost no different than city lights,
*
I found my favorite spot in the world,
shooting stars passby it all night,
and the water is deep,
everyone needs to get close to stay warm,
and the moon falls between two peaks,
and the two peaks are triangulated between two trees,
everyone in the town nearby says how much they hate it,
and how trapped they feel.
*
once i found my passion,
my drive,
but that seems to have faded now,
or maybe I've just become more focused on myself,
replaced the void that others filled,
by building bridges to new muscles and movements
in my body, and in my mind,
deadnames come back around when you least expect it,
and I still feel detached from this vessel,
I manifest and control,
sometimes you think you've got something figured out,
but every free moment you have, goes
to that inner corner
you keep dusting, but can never straighten out.

I let everyone passby
Without saying bye
Though we will all die
Normalise saying hi

To the tired
To those who tried
Even those who cried
All your good things are set aside

To the loving mothers
Who fight like others
Who her hope never withers
Hope you will be Angels; with wings and feathers

To the lonesome fathers
Who play role of mothers
I will write you in heaven book like others
Who held their love like no other

To those who laugh on our backs
Like how dog barks
Oh God let them eat barks
But forgive them

To us
Who never thought of saying us
Or owning her with an a**
Anyway lemme let it pass

In the end
Those who believe in bible
Who believe in the end
In heaven let God give you a title

— The End —
