Wealth

Money talks,
Power walks,
Time gives dignity.

Mother Who I Hate

Mother, mother can't you see?
How much are you putting the needle,
Deep inside of  my heart?
I know the pain won't go away!
I know you are blind to see the truth!

Pain pain pain,
When will you go away?
Anger, hate & discouragement
Always comes my way!
What am I supposed to do?
I feel alone deep inside,
I feel the empty pressure against my chest,
In a prison of hate,
I am sick of the people who I love,
Betraying me & ruining the trust,
God above who sees your actions,
I hope He will never forgives you,
For you who keep on sin.

One day you will see 
Throw my eyes & my pain,
One day you will stop on pretend,
Realize your mistakes,
It will be too late,
I will be gone far away,
I will never come back again!

70 Million

My words has fade away,
The beauty within writting poems,
Has lost my ways,
Sadness walks in my way,
Tears run in my face,
Feeling down here and there,
Depressed night by day,
Wishing I can change things in an instane,
Wishing to be a real superman,
Wishing to save my people in my country,
It really hurts me deep inside my heart,
To see young and innocent people die,
For freedom we never had,
70 million people in Iran,
Struggle for 30 years,
Protesters every where,
Around the world we live in today,
They say,"United Kingdom pay more attention"
People see the news from Iran,
How come no body is a leader in this world?
Why is everybody scared?
To make the first move?
Why can't be just over,
I pray to God and his powers,
To give my people: hope, freedom etc.
To live in this earth with joy and happiness.

What Happened?

Why is it so hard for me,
To stop thinking about you,
For just one day,
You go around my head like a carousel,
Driving me crazy,
Day and night I think about us,
And all the dreams we want to make it true,
I wish I could just marry you,
I am tired of waiting and waiting,
I feel like a stone,
I can't move forward or backward,
I think we both need a change,
To do something together as one,
Everyday I apply for a job,
I am tired of nothing at all,
I am tired of technology,
I am tired of doing nothing with my life,
The things i try to change,isn't working!
I don't know when will the day come,
For both of us to be stable,
And be together forever,
My best-friend and never apart,
It sucks that you are not around,
I miss our times alone,
I miss those days being awake,
Talking about our thoughts and dreams,
Time is running and we can't catch up with it,
I am loosing my mind,
I just want to hold you tight,
And never let you out my sight, 
Why do we stuggle to live?
When we just want a simple life?

Faded Life

Stuck in a situation, Not knowing what to do? Blocked from all directions, Tired of being sick, throwing and feeling weak, The people I thought I can trust walked away, I am tired of selfish people, I am tired of being alone and fighting this without any support, When this should be your responsibility too! All you want to do party and play, I am tired of facing problems one after another, I need peace, relax and have nothing to worry, Yet you bring hell to me! All you care about is you and your career, While I give my life and risk everything for us & baby, I give up my family, my car and now I am broke and homeless, And all you care about is you and your dreams, It bothers me how you think & blind to see, My dreams and goals for my life is in the trash can, You keep asking for respect yet you cant even understand your women, Without a cause there is no effect, I just wish you would understand that! This is not about who wins or looses! This is about us fixing problems togather as ONE!

Mom: Can'T Take It Anymore

I love you too much to let you go,
Time to time comes you put that,
Pressure on me that effects my life,
And that leaves me no where in my journey.

You want to control me in every way you want,
Giving me adivises for as much as you want,
Which I wouldn't mind to listen.

Throwing things in my face whenever you want,
It's worthless to even compromise anything with you,
Because you'll always change your words,
Around and take your promises back,
You promised you will stay on your promises,
That fades away in a second from now and then.

You put me down in so many ways in many times,
And I keep on taking the pain,
You discourage me in any way and every way,
What can I say, you are relentless in every way.

You know I love you so much mom,
More than anything in my life,
I know you care about me in evey way,
I don't want a perfect mom,
All I want is for you to understand me,
As I 'm growing up the goals I have,
And the dreams that I want to accomplish in my life.

Sorry mom, I just can't take it anymore,
And stand the things that you say,
Leave me alone for a while,
So I can think things throw my head.

I Hate......

I hate my life, 
I hate the people I meet,
I hate the people I love,
They hurt me the most,
I hate guys,
I hate there ego,
I hate how they are controlling,
I hate how they are disrespectful,
I hate how they are mean,
I hate guys who are careless,
I hate how they got attitude,
I hate guys who are selfish,
I hate people who always compare themselves with me,
I hate competitions,
I hate liars,
I hate guys who got low self steam, 
I feel like TRUST is a big issue,
I feel betrayed,
I feel numb to the pain,
That it repeats over again,
I never meet good people,
I always meet the one that are grungy and hurtful,
I hate to have friends who lie,
I hate how nobody understands me,
I hate how people always insulate me,
I hope one day karma happens,
So they could feel the pain I have,
I hate how my time is running out,
I feel rushed into everything,
In a short amount of time,
I hate my life so much.

I Can'T Take It Any Longer.

Back to the same wall of hates,
I am tried, I am so tired,
Of this pain,
I wish I can pell this skin off,
And throw it back at your face,
I hate liars,
I hate all my friends to death,
I hate the way they are,
Rude, liar, back stabbers anything that you say,

They hurt me deep in my neck,
I feel like choking and throw up right on your face,
I don't know how to say how much,
I want to get this out of my chest, 
I feel disgusted by your faith,
I never felt so lonely,
In my life as I feel now,
All my friends walked away,
They lie straight up in my face,
All they say is lie, lie, and more lie
I don't care about your life,
And what have you done in the past,
If you don't want to say,
No point to lie just keep away,
You know the truth will come on its way,
You can hide not for to long,

I can't take it any more,
I can't trust anybody any more,
I feel frustrated and in the deepest cut in my chest,
I hate this world with passion,
I just can't take this no more,
All I ever ask for is a true friend,
Someone who doesn't lie, 
And be my best friend no matter what,
Someone who is respectful and not mean,
Someone who I can trust with all my heart,
Someone who I can count on,

I feel so depressed,
I feel like no one understands,
I feel like everybody is a liar,
I wish I had a friend who I can have forever and ever,
The ones who stay not run,
I wish I could stop crying,
My heart is blowed with pain, 
I hate this, I hate this so much,
I wish someone can understand me,
What I am going throw.

Love

My heart is alleviated,
Wishing that it was all a dream,
Hoping to wake up soon,
From this nightmare,
Nothing else matters to me, 
I left all left behind,
Looking at your eyes bright,
Staring at me,
Feeling the deepest pain,
Yet comes another day with full of rain,
My heart is empty and blain,
Pounding like it would drain,
When you are far away,
I want to hold you tight,
Wishing that you are mine,
Forever and ever together never apart,
My soul, body, and heart,
Loving you always and forever,
If you ever ask of what I want?
A man who is interesting, loving, caring, funny,
He is the one that you are,
And that is the one I want,
When I touch your heart,
Wondering how long can it be hold?
Forever the lasting heart,
8:55 am Wensday, waiting for your call,
My mind wonders off,
Wondering why?
Wishing to hold you forever tight,
Missing you dearly, 
Trying to be on your spot,
Not knowing what will I do,
I just can't believe that this is happening,
Remember I am just a phone call away,
Best friends are always there,
In good and bad times,
I love you, Vic now and forever.

The Beauty Within

Hidden in the nature the beauty within,
Upon the sky glaze into my eyes,
The beauty that rhymes inside my heart,
Beating to speak out loud and beyond,
To the world of unknown,
That runs throw each place of unsure,
Upon my eyes,
Tears by tears gain, 
Drop by drop,
Suddenly became the oceans depth.
