Keep Letting You In

I’ve tried letting us fall
But it never succeeds
I always walk away
But never do I leave

Always push you away
But you always return
Have the match in hand
But still wont let it burn

You open the door
Every time that I close it
So why haven’t I
Lock the door shut and then bolt it

I can honestly say it tears me up
And leaves me stuck like I’m chokin 
Stuck at this door 
That I constantly open

I have all the right words
Still I can’t speak
Don’t ever want to let you back in
But for you I am weak

You take a toll on me strongly
One that I can’t break
Its like I lose myself
Fall asleep and then wake

But wish I could stay asleep
So I wouldn’t have to deal with the pain
See my sorrow runs deep
And flows into an empty drain

It’s all just a map
I wish I had a route to
But one-day ill have the courage 
To carry on without you

Unjustifiable Equality

Whoever said, “Every man is equal”
Must not have seen much of life
The world and its errors that we can’t fix
Makes it a constant fight

Not everyone is wealthy 
And not everyone gets it in a hurry
Some of us actually struggle
And there are most of us who have to worry

There’s some who feed with silver spoons
Who hardly feel life’s pains
And others of us deal with life 
And all of its complaints

Life itself is discrimination 
And I believe there’s no equality
How do you put wealth on a platform? 
While at the same time hiding poverty

Why do the rich and wealthy 
Have the right to look down?
On the so called equal people,
That are stuck on the ground

Rich and poor together 
Do not at all equal the same 
So someone tell me please
How does it add up?

There will always be a ground
And over it the clouds hovers
People as a whole maybe similar 
But never equal to each other

"let Freedom Reign"

Let freedom rain like the drops from the sky
Let freedom reign it was said but to me it’s a lie

What does it mean to be free?
In this world free is of an idea
Not reality so in all actuality how can freedom reign

Free: not enslaved or held captive
Enjoying personal rights and liberty
But the truth is that I pay for the air 
That I breathe I literally live for a fee

In a world where potent politicians
Navigate words persuasively 
Covering up the corrupt
Just to keep it away from me, away from we

See they give us no choices
This comes with no explanations
And they can curve any path they want 
With no direct destination

Yet still in a world where every boy & girl
Wants to be an entertainer or famous an actor or actress
And supposedly this is the land of the free
But yet I’m caged paying taxes

And I see the white collar worker trapped in his castle
Mugging us and bugs to us as if we are a hassle
So he digs in my pocket trying to profit
And it’s illegal to stop it so I just sit what a look that is baffled
						
It’s like their robbing us blind
 But we clearly can see it
Because we see between the lines
But between the lines we don’t read it
So that means they keep feeding


The land of the free where gas a gallon is a dollar plus three
The land of the free where candidates are uttering trust me
But there must be a way for a change
But until that day just “LET FREEDOM REIGN”

For What Its Worth

For what its worth…  
I would like to thank my parents for keeping me stable
With a roof over my head and food on the table
For making a way for me to be able
To be myself to be who I am and not just a label
For keeping me safe and secure
For making me and making sure
That I stay on a straight path
And learn from all the things I’ve endured
For what its worth …
Thank you and I appreciate what you’ve done
Stuck by my side and believed in me when I was young 
Held on and still kept that grip even when I acted dumb
I just thank god for being your son
Though there were struggles you sheltered them off
For me to live right you paid the cost
Without my parents ill probably be lost
So I thank them for life and how they took charge
For what its worth…
Whatever I need it was provided
Though times aren’t hard now 
 They weren’t always delighted 
And when they were around I had you to fight it
There’s no limit to your abundance of love 
And for that love is all that I can give to you
Love to you my parents for being there all my life
The reason I live and why I’m alive
And once again I LOVE YOU



Dedication to Kerry and Ben Foy my parents without you I  couldn’t be who I am and everything that I do you are an inspiration so I Love and thank you very much for being there for me when I needed you the most so once again THANK YOU

The Neglect of Love

I realize that the trust has been broken 
Basically by a selfish acted mine 
And I know you’re upset and angry 
At my deception and that everything just can’t be fine

And through all of the emotions you decide to stay 
At first trying your hardest to ignore the position I’ve put you in
But the feelings have caught you dead in your tracks
This was a fight you just couldn’t win

So instead of dealing with the problem
That I was so willing to heal with all my might
All of a sudden you block me out entirely
Something I had expected though I was trying to make it right

So I dealt with it and sucked it up
But days turn into weeks and weeks into months
Of this cold hearted routine that you had put on
But deep down its what you had become
 
I would apologize so sincerely
But you would roll you eyes and say I done heard it
To an extent I agreed with you
And I guess I agreed I deserved it

But nights now turn so cold and with sharp pains
I lie in my bed not acknowledging my TV
Just up for hours at a time 
Wondering why you just don’t go ahead and leave me  

Love is neglecting me and
For some reason it wont let me go on
Every time I tell it to go ahead and leave
It seems to want to apathetically hold on 

But I don’t need your unexpressed pity
And you feeling sorry for me
But I still have sorrow in my heart…
The heart that loves you unconditionally

But what do I do now 
Now that It has emotionally rejected me
I guess take a stand
Because love itself is neglecting me

A Life Journey

Innocently born into a world full of fault 
Surrounded by all evils
Not knowing you will be apart of those sins
When you mature as a person and become part of a people

From start to finish
A journey of everything that’s possible
Though a reasonable path
One might be face with obstacles labeled illogical

A Rough road we must travel
And face things that are inevitable 
Will encounter many things we think we need
But yet are very much separable 

Life tends to bend you at times
And in which direction you must choose 
Life is just an alteration
That we as a people adjust to

It can be grating at times
Cold hearted of course
Full of agony and pain
With an apathetic attitude and no signs of remorse

Though when we reach our goal
It all turns around and actually has a meaning
You’re taught something from every experience 
  And you mature to all life’s seasons

This life we live is complicated
But it shapes you into who you are
And only can control
What is you will b

They Ask....... Whats Wrong?

And she asked….. WHATS WRONG? 
Not at all did I hesitate but I told her
The motherf%#*in weight
Of the world on my shoulder
How do I exercise freedom? 
While trapped between bars
Though told by these people I’m equal
But if we both get caught I’m stuck with the charge

And he asked….. WHATS WRONG?
I said discrimination, the labels and stairs
The preamble judgments
That I am what I wear
That I am what you fear
That I lack what you share
That your perception is just misconception 
About my style and these twist in my hair

And they asked…..  WHATS WRONG?
I simply replied by saying the usual 
Those who think life is a game
Movie or even a musical
They tend to amuse me
Cuz I know its much more
So I’m patient and waiting
In order to see what’s in store

And you ask….. WHATS WRONG?
The arrogant ignorant simple minded people
The high acclaimed politician 
Whose trapped in his ego
The deceitful cities
For where we reside
The foreign affairs
That affects us all world wide 

And I ask….. WHATS WRONG ME? Do I need help?
Maybe it’s the hatred inside that I built
Or lack of ambition which refrained me from transition 
To find what it is inside of myself
Dwelling on how the world
Is cold, crooked and filthy
Maybe its just me
…… Just me feeling guilty
AND THEY ASK WHATS WRONG………. I REPLY THE WORLD

Where Would I Be?

Where would I be without you?

Would I really be on the path that I am now?
Or would my path be a different one
Would I have a straight head on me?
Because it’s easy to fall short where I’m from 

Never ever stopped me from doing wrong
Just let I and my conscience know
That it was wrong and I shouldn’t do it
And I think that’s what made me grow

Watching and following how you 
Would tell me to take annotative and think 
How you accept me like a brother
And wouldn’t dare to let me sink

At the same time you were there for me
No matter if it was right or was wrong
And always stayed by my side
While having my back all along

Every time I called you answered
And you, I would literally give an arm and a leg
 And for it all not to change 
To you I would plead and I would beg

But change is inevitable
Its one of life’s many laws 
But I pray that it doesn’t change 
And for that I pray to God

Though we fight and get critical on a daily
And at times we can be hurtful
Know that only you can get to me
Because you’re already in my circle
But I refuse to let anyone else 
Get to you in any uncomfortable way
And I really mean that with my heart 
And not just with these words that I say

And with these words that I speak I would like to say I LOVE YOU



To my friends those who help me stay on the righteous path that my parents put me on and I love them for that and also thank and appreciate them for what I have learned from them

Debris

Alone on this road I can't see
And between u me
Its all blown out of proportion
And there's nothing left but Debris

I try to find my way but to where
To me it not fair cause its all just unclear

Even though we should of known
Our selfishness would cause detonation
Our being aware still called
for no preparation

Because we still blew, An explosion 
that left us both shattered
And left all our situations in the air
But I guess now it won't matter

Now is where I recreate
And find a way to start over
But this matters still in the air
And hangs over my head n puts a chip on my shoulder

And hold me down tightly so I'm not free
U also have me suffocating from all the debris

Through It All I Love You

Remember that day like yesterday
You were asking me if we can be
Shyly heading to my destination
I said “we’ll just have to see”

See I left the one I was with
To see what you were like
You held captive my attention
Because you were just my type

The personality of an angel
With a smile straight from above
And relevant to being heaven sent
It was you who showed me how to love

You turned me on in every way 
It was like we were meant to be
Had to talk to you like everyday
It’s like you were meant for me 

Though their were only two of us
Problems was another person
And it got between the two of us
Constantly and left us hurting

So many things said to each other
For the most we didn’t mean
And I had a tendency to cause a mess
That I just couldn’t clean

Over and over I asked for forgiveness
And repeatedly you gave it
Told me “just tell me the truth
And the excuses you can save it”

But every time I hurt you
You still stood by me and was my girl
So when you still said you loved me
To me it meant the world

But remember this was a relationship
And part of it you shared
And we both needed each other
And at times we both weren’t there

And they say you miss people the most 
When there gone but look where it becomes to
And even though it’s not the same
I just want to say I Love You
