Your Ugly Face

Your face is not your face,
I no longer recognize it,
Who is this, help me know 
Dear ugly stranger,
Go away and bring my best friend back,
But as reality reach me closer,
Dear ugly stranger,
You are not a stranger after all,
Were you here the whole time,
Oh dear heaven, Were you that ugly,
Perhaps distraction killed the sight of you,
Now, that the sight is clear,
Your ugly face is unbearable for me to see,
The love you sold me for,
Is it worth it all,
The love you sold me for,
Is it worth it all,
Was it too easy,
To lie and betray trust,
Was it too easy,
To give it all up,
Those sweet lips of yours,
Or so he thinks,
Would never speak of truth,
I got that true, right?
Please don’t try to find me,
I’m sincerely sorry,
But I won’t be there anymore,
When you come finding me,
You’ll soon will, I know,
Forget the name you once been told,
Forget the days you once lived,
I’m gone for you already, keep it that way,
I’ve said my goodbyes a while ago,
It’s time to let go,
But before you go,
Pack your perfect lies,
Goodbye, again.

Drug-Addict

He walks in, but faded.
His flat face says it all.
His eyes are bolted and red,
His lips are black and dry
His arms are spotted blue.
He became one of them.
Now,They all look alike.
From inside out.
Can't you see ?
Or are you still living in the Wowo-land.
Haven't you heard?
He almost got caught last night,
When one of them almost died in a seizure.
He selfishly said he won't get involve,
So, he won't get in trouble.
He almost, almost did.
The other was almost, almost dead.
Haven't you recognize his face from all of theirs?
Who once were our friends,
our lovers and are now our foes.
Their emotionless face must say
We are the snakes and devils,
if had a human shape.
He's now one of them,
Goodbye to life, for him.
maybe,hopefully for now.
If you wonder why he got on his.
I will guess.
He would feel the urge to escape,
A desire to smile,
Since,it's so hard to accomplish.
He drags it harshly into his veins,
Once, it's in,
His body would immensely absorb,
His mind would softly disappears,
Here comes,the rush it fulfilled.
The rush, he cherished.
Intoxicating his weak body.
Numbing his hopeless mind.
He thought this would take him down forever,
He loved the thrill of damage and fracture,
He secretly wanted to give away his wounded soul,
His lighted head would temporarily shuts down
But As soon as he wakes up again,
He would feel how the pain returns,
Bitter and stronger,
It's just not fading away.
It's now growing on him.
It's his time to face it again.
He cowardly reach his damned drug again.
Rejecting his cursed reality.
What should we believe ?
A misbehave or mislead
They all look alike.
Can't you see it or don't you want to ?
Are you in still in the wowo land,
Or Did you move to a land of your own?
Where reality is ignored but not denied,
Take me with you,please.
Because I'm falling apart alone.

:) My Bestfriend.

You
You You You
You kept hope
You kept love
You took me into your arms
Held me strongly till the pain went away
You listened,you always did
The thought of you gave me comfort 
Pain when it's the time I need you to listen
Heartache when it has been too long
Since I saw you,hugged you.
It's been a while, don't you think so ?
We've been seven,seven years !
Feels like I'm losing you now
When you've been too hard to reach,
too hard to talk to you or to see,
You're the brightest
kindest and loyalist of all
I would lose, worst lost of all,
If I lost you,
If by time, we lost contact
If by time, you forgot me
and by distance, we remained.
If anything I could do right now
It would be running into your open warm arms
Crying, because life took so much so far
raped me into circles and break me into pieces,
And made you slowly fade away,
It's been a hard year, my dear.
Are you still there? I'm just checking,
Because I have a lot to say, Are you ready to listen ?

Optimistic

It was mostly in white 
and in other colors maybe,
Had everything a child need
Had every dream a child dreams
It was a smile
It was innocence
It was warm
It was security
Had all three of us wrapped 
slept tight into the deepness of it
into easy and simple
caught up too strongly, not to leave
A Good bedtime story would justify our needs
too young and too pure
We were together, here and for all
Even the atmosphere's scent smelled love
It is everything I dream about now
It was a peace of mind and it is,
Just a memory of it 
Do you still know well your own childhood?
How little mind of yours kept  Big happy thoughts
How little heart of yours loved truly the whole world
How little you were, and how small were your penalties
How far you looked ahead to the future,
By tomorrow you were hopeful and content about yesterday
But now,you're all grown up and life is just a pass ticket to hell or heaven,
Lost hope in tomorrow and ain't satisfied by how yesterday came
How long have you been like that and since when life took over,
Were you optimistic or naive ?
When you used to build castles out of mud
When you used to dress to be like a superhero
When you used to root for the good to win,
knowing deep down it will always do
You gotta be thinking now
Must been a naive,
Yet you were OPTIMISTIC !

Suited In Red

Behind bars, there I lay
Suited in red 
No man near by
To fight,to talk or to sympathize
Laying there between four dull walls
I live only for and by the memory of last night
My body shivers whenever the sound of the bullet cries again,
As if it's happening all over again
When I chose the sound of my anger
When I chose the way of my revenge
I pulled the trigger and there it goes
Every bullet went through,
Crashed hard his bones
Attacked silently his body
No Hesitation
No second thoughts
The only rush came in
Rush of thoughts pushed me through,
Every bullet counts,
counts for everyone he killed,
He killed are those I loved 
I cherished and I respected
The one went for his heart
was for my mother,
The one went through his brain
was for my father,
He laid there hopelessly,
The image just satisfied me
The more he bleed to death
The more power I feel
They deprived my freedom
They took the oxygen I breathe
But haven't they knew already
My freedom had no taste 
My oxygen had no life 
When all I breathe is anger
When all I think is revenge
My body shivers whenever the sound of the bullet cries again,
As if it's happening all over again,
My satisfaction craves the image of his hopelessly dead body,
yet the pain still grows, in the absence of them
in the absence of their love
in the absence of their presence,
I smile,I cry
In my those four walls now I belong,
Where it holds me in
shields me from my fears
Those four walls surrounding
became the only friendly ones
I tell my stories of love and faith
I tell my stories of death and shame
Behind bars, there I lay
Now and after for where I'm belong

Only Me - Part 1

I'm not pulling an act,
No, I'm just pushing myself to the stage,
Where the lights are on me,
Where my flaws shows clear and not my face,
My mistakes are surrounding me,
I'm not changing now,
I've been pulled along with change,
I've been pulled along with the world's chaos,
I've been falling,
but now, I could feel the ground,
Solid and strong,
I'm not sure If I could step up with my feet again,
But I got the hope,
I got the right shoes on,
I will stand up,
I will go on,
I will move,
because laying here is pain,
I can bear no more,
I will be walking on my own this time,
I've got no one to put my arms around,
or no one to hold hands with,
They are all gone, don't you remember,
They showed the best part in them,
The ephemeral, the one you would be loving so much,
This time, I will be heading my way,
I don't need someone,
No, please I can't be pushed to the sides anymore,
I've learned the hard way,
It's better to have no one and nothing to lose.

Go

I'm here,
I've been here,
I've been breathing the local air,
I'm here not by will,
but for the best they say,
I'm in no where,
not near to where I came from,
The sun is bright,
The site is clear,
But this is far away from the familiar,
The walls that contains me,
Has it's curse in drowning me,
in the ocean of sympathy,
I drag myself with the power left,
Out of the ocean,
Out of sympathy,
I cry at night to breathe,
I cry of forgiveness,
hoping this broken heart,
would reset,
would go back in pieces,
But even that,
I'm not so sure about,
I'm still wandering,
Who got it broken in the first place,
Maybe I gave it away too easy,
But All I needed back,
was some love,
the one you got me for,
the one that keeps you breathing,
Now, I'm still here,
Closing and opening My eye lids,
hoping for a different day,
for a different scene,
I'm still hung over on the past,
The past is still hurting me,
Making me question,
The love I have for myself,
If I did love myself,
Why did I got into all of this,
Why did I brought myself to pain,
I'm here,
I will be breathing,
I will be okay.

Good Man

Oh dear heaven,
What have I done,
" This is not you, anymore"
She says with a wryly voice,
Oh dear god, Help,
I can't recall myself,
from all those exotic  thoughts and dos,
Evil, Evil where are you taking me
I'm damaging myself, in many ways
Letting go of what I have been strongly holding to,
Sorry was not just for you,
Now,my body aches of guilt and regret,
Sooner, they will eat me alive,
I'm sorry, you had to watch me
Chocking during sleep,
I'm sorry, you had to see me,
Hiding behind walls,
I'm sorry, you had to listen,
The fear within me,
I try to wash out the fear and pain,
But nothing goes away,
" This is not you, anymore"
She says with a wryly voice,
Oh dear heaven,
Had this place just overcame my innocence,
I do belong, true,
Pray for me, mother,
That What I've done,
Won't come running after me,
Chasing me because I got no strength left to run,
I'm a good man, mother,
Ain't I ?

Doubt

You doubted,
You're doubting,
My words to you,
aren't sincere anymore,
If I had my conscience shown to you,
If I had my heart worn out for you,
If I had my brain on for you,
You would still doubt the bits of me,
the bits of thy,
Your heart's a mess,
But you won't admit,
You've got a hole inside your chest,
But a fine looking shirt would cover that up?
I'm not so sure,
You lost her,
Lose me ?
You need me to tell and prove,
The love I have for you,
My sincerity and loyalty are in non-stop action,
Because baby, you never believed them,
when they came in words,
You're drowning out my energy,
I'm soaked up with bitterness,
Show me love, dear,
Show me appreciation now and then, 
So well I know,
That it's not all in vain,
The way you don't trust me,
is reality eye to eye with me,
Aren't we supposed to be close and all,
If I stayed hundred days and nights,
Proving I'm worthy,
You won't consent,
If I stayed hundred days and nights,
Proving I'm worthy,
You won't consent,
I would rather fall away,
than standing here,
I would rather let go,
than have you,
underestimating and denying,
I've got no one but you,
But I would lose you,,
If the pain I had holding on,
came back in a strike,
The pain would cause my hands to shiver,
And you would slip in between my fingers,
Soft and easy.

Home 1

I fall beneath the clouds,
into the ground,
I'm reaching the peak,
of frustration and despair,
So don't ask me why,
I'm crying my heart out,
on a chick flick movie,
Don't ask me to ride a yellow bus with you,
When I don't look out the window anymore,
I wake up every morning,
and she's laying awake beside me,
her arms are pulled against each other,
pushed against her chest,
Trying to retain whatever is growing inside,
There ain't no handcuffs,
It's all inside my head,
It's a tricky game played,
She asked me " where you wish to be"
I wish I had a right answer,
But I have no place till now,
that I can call home,
Is it wrong,
to count the days left for us to leave,
back where she fell into silent sleep,
back where she feels home,
I wish I could drive her home,
and be on my own,
I've been holding in myself to the deep,
But it's hard not to fall apart,
when all she's doing,
is breaking into despair.
