Frustrating Voices

I get so frustrated with the voices in my head 
They seem to tell stories when I'm ready for bed 
They sound so amazing I should write this all down 
But as soon as I locate a pen I don't hear a sound 
Tell me the story repeat it again 
I'll write it on paper and share with my friends 
I try to remember but to no avail 
Papers get crumbled because memory fails 
Frustration seeps in I almost give up 
The voices are asleep so I'm just out of luck 
But then I remember just one little line 
The rest I just wing it to make the poem rhyme

Unreal

Tears on my face pouring down like the rain 
A past that always haunts me like a stubborn stain 
Heart tore to pieces in so much pain 
Lips on my face that  no longer smile 
Laughter in my soul not heard in a while 
Spirit so beaten it refuses to stand 
Future so far I can't grasp in my hand 
Things happen in life I  don't comprehend 
I wish I could write nice sappy poems 
Of love and the future, and a house that's a home 
Tired of replaying this same sad song 
Not being so weak and standing up strong 
 Then I would be writing of things I don't feel 
Then this poem would be something that to me is not real

Boriqua

I'm a Hispanic because that's what I'm branded... 
I'm not a race I'm but a culture... 
I'm but a mixture conquered by vultures... 
I'm these urban streets that flow within me...  
I'm from an island that I rarely see... 
I'm born and bred a natural survivor... 
I'm not a color for that's a divider... 
I'm but a being spirit real strong... 
I'm but a mixture African, Indian, White... 
I'm but a person blessed with true sight ... 
I'm but a warrior prepared for a fight... 
I'm but a culture my race is all mixed...  
Spaniards on a quest that came over on ships... 
I'm but of mixed slaughtered beautiful races... 
Embedded with this language from foreign places ... 
I Speak a language that came from blood shed... 
The Indian and African in me will never be dead... 
I'm a loud voice a candle that burns... 
I'm but a sponge that absorbs as I learn... 
I'm but a culture a bunch of lost tribes... 
I am what I am till the day I die...

Land of Greed

Hell on earth is what I see 
A whole world run on greed 
Deception shooting out of so many voices 
Politicians that pretend that we have choices 
This great nation of the free 
Slaughtered sons out at war left to bleed 
Decepted into believing they fight for us 
The great land that they trust 
Do they fight for freedom? 
Because we are free  
They fight for bankers souless greed 
Sons of this land die on foreign soil 
So politicians and bankers can reap the spoils 
Many lives lost for what?? 
Because of lies that we are taught 
This great land of the free 
To bad it doesn't apply to you or me

Open Your Eyes

The anger in the world is so overwhelming  
My eye's are so open and there is no use pretending 
That we're forced fed the bad, and now evil's prevailing 
It makes me assume that this world is soon ending 
Please open your eyes, heart, and your ears. 
The media is trying to over flood us with fear 
Fears like a poison that now runs through your veins 
When we live in fear nothings attained  
Rip fear out your minds and so much is gained 
Then they'll fear us when this world is retained

Tears I Spill

This darkness my choice for taking all the wrong turns 
My guiding fire just flickers it no longer burns 
  
My eyes are the windows to my inner soul 
These windows wide open let in nothing but cold  

My brain is my prison for it's in control 
My heart slowly fading as my body grows old  

This body my casket, my spirit lies still 
My eyes mourn my death with these tears I spill

Trapped Inside

Sometimes I think that I'm insane 
Trapped inside my lonely brain 
Only trained to stay in pain 
 In my mind things stay the same  
Nothing intrigues me the whole worlds lame 
Crazy thoughts consume my brain 
Trapped in thoughts no sign of time 
Feeling like I'm left behind 
Implanted with this negative seed 
I doubt that I will ever succeed 
I long to burst out from this bubble of pain 
And free my self from my poisoned brain 
Nothing to lose, so much to gain 
To see the beauty in this world 
To get rid of this heavy shell 
This heavy shell that slows me down 
That keeps my head bowed to the ground 
That makes me feel like I'm in hell 
Please someone free me from this somber spell

The Tree and the Wind

I stand here strong this mighty oak, watching my leaves sway as the wind blows.

It starts just like a normal day until I decide to test my strength.

I yell out "IS THAT ALL YOU GOT, I'M GOING NO WHERE I'VE BEEN HERE FROM THE START"  

"I'M STRONGER THEN YOU I'VE BEEN HERE SINCE BIRTH MY ROOTS EMBEDDED WITHIN THIS EARTH".


"YELL AND SCREAM AND TEST YOUR MIGHT, I'M A STURDY TREE AND WILL PUT UP A FIGHT!!!


The wind yells back: YOU ARROGANT TREE, YOU DARE TO ACTUALLY TRY AND TEST ME?

All of a sudden the wind unleashes it's wrath and this oak tree is right in it's path.  

This mighty tree begins to sway and all it's leaves just blow away

The tree laughs and screams again  " IS THAT ALL YOU GOT"?

The wind gathers strength and in one big gust this mighty oak begins to thrust.

This grand old oak begins to fall for the wind has lifted it roots and all.

It lays on the ground to wither away for another so called giant just got slayed.

Nancy's Birthday

Today is your birthday many will hold you near 
Instead of celebrating I'm holding back these tears 
I miss you everyday but today it hits me more 
Losing a true friend  someone that I adored 
I wish that you were celebrating surrounded by your kids 
I often feel there pain and know your truly miss 
I guess I'll light a candle and say a special prayer 
I'll think of happy thoughts and times that we have shared 
I want to thank you Nancy for being in my life 
Even though your no longer here I hold you close inside 
Happy Birthday Nancy I yell this out with pride 
For even though your body is gone your spirit never dies

Seek and Destroy

Seeking attention at the cost of degradation 
Self made popularity at the price humiliation 
Constant flood of people with little self respect
Looking for acceptance that you'll later regret
Things that were once sacred put out on display
The new entertainment now you get judged for days 
Smiles and acceptance soon turns into despair
A reputation ruined that you can not repair
Beware of your actions because that is how you'll be perceived
Now you sit there hollow another soul deceived
