Feeling raw on my insides 
Looking for views while trying to hide 
No ma by my side 
Drownin in these cries 
All swolled in the eyes 
My pain given u a rise 
Dark skies 
Endless tries 
Backwards lies lows leading to dope highs 
Im tired 
Put that face inbetween these thighs. 
Knowing how when and why 
A ******* feeling u cant buy 
Getting me all messy 
When its ur body id ride 
My only purpose, .. . ******* you for life 
Shoulda been the wife 
Fight away our wrongs 
Make room for our rights 
Ill be the day 
You be the night 
Ur heart is like my ***** 
Why u keeping it so tight 
I wish i may 
I wish u might 
The harder we love 
The harder we fight 
(I been thinking to much) 
(I been thinking to much) 
Gotta act all dark 
Suffocate the light 
Its stolen my days 
Been killing my nights 
Ud rather **** up 
Stab backs with knives 
Stop being so selfish 
Change ur families lives 
Life ain't about hatin 
Its about love 
And love is life

Oh cat,
I've never witnessed innocence
Before, how you howl to protect
Your kittens,

How scary
Must my tallness frighten
You, all curled around
Your young.

And the breezes
cold, threatening death
To such beauty unfolding
how, life is told

I want to think,
In the eyes of a mother
teats swolled and young
depending so
Much upon

Those fierce eyes tell
Me so, wild as the winds cold
You have soul
chilled by aloneness
You are touched now.

So brave me this glance,
Mom. I chance to
Make a life somehow
As well as you have
And be true to it.

To the death

I have lived through my past.
I have lived with my fears.
Being haunted with the demons
Inside out,
Craving for love and affection feeling empty within.
Getting swolled in this hole of loneliness and void space filled with no emotions making me numb ,yet I feel the pain.
It's weird how everything just feels insane.
I wanna live , I wanna die.
For a moment give me back my old life.
I am done with this, there's so much more left to do.
You are not good enough, you are too good for it, just leave and let it be on its own.
You feel like a burden , I need you with me.
Stay calm,  how can I ? I am a thunder within.
It's more than what I want to say, more than what I want people to hear me say.
But I am haunted by the ghost of my future and the ones I create today .
I have lived through my past .
I have lived with my fears .
I am stronger than what people think about me and say.
Just like a Kaleidoscope I reflect what you want to see .
A beauty with no pain no suffering , yet I am just broken pieces of glasses trapped within ....
