New Begining

THE ONLY THING I KNEW, BUT IT WASN'T SO NEW
TO THE WORLD BUT TO FEW, THOUGHT OF BRAND NEW
LITTLE I KNEW OF MY WEAKNESS, I THOUGHT IT WAS LIKE STEW
GOT ME TRAPPED AND INTO THE MOUTH IT GOT ME CHEWED
THOUGHT I OWNED IT, BUT IN REAL I HAD LOST IT

TO ONLY THOSE WHO'RE FOCUSED
THEM LIFE IS NOT LIKE MORNING DEW
DETERMINED AND WITH ONE AIM LIKE DORCAS
STICK TO ONE SINGLE AIM OF SUCCESS LIKE JEWS
TO WIN I THOUGHT I OWNED IT, BUT I REAL I HAD LOST IT

THE GENIUS IN EVERYTHING THOUGHT  I WAS
SIMPLETON THE WORD I USED IN REFERENCE TO OTHERS
KEEPING TO MY SELF AND PRIDE AS CHARACTER I WAS
AND MINE TO THINK WAS ALL THE BEST TO HIT THE CRACKERS
PRIDE MADE ME OWN IT ,BUT IN REAL I HAD LOST IT.

NOW LEARNED IN FULL AND  IN CAPACITY
REAP BEHAVIOUR AND EARNED A CHARACTER
HIT WITH THE ROD OF CHANGE  AND REALITY
BACK TO TRACK  FULLY LOADED LIKE A ROAD-STAR
AWAY WITH I OWNED IT,NOW WE OWN IT.

I Really Loved

you never lose by loving, if loving gets you learning,
affection filled with attraction, for the quest of satisfaction,
at first touch it's dripping, it's full of nutrients and red glowing,
forming bit by bit like lime water dripping from cave roof for a sharp construction.

you are scared to loose, don't be, that is love rule,
you're in irresistible desire zone, to be irresistibly desired;
looking in the same direction is another you were taught as rule,
its' heavy to hold itself, therefore its has to be admired,

you stood the bitterness trying, and there brilliantly you fall for something, call it a treasure in hide, sure of no invasion,
bitterness shoots up in sense of intrusion, fights back in defending, ready for anything, in the name of love protection.

now you're shaped and fashioned, thanks to our helper love,
before you were mad, agreed! there's always some madness in love,
you made it holy, that which is beautiful that you loved,
now you're hospitalized, for the serious mental damage of love.

If You Can Beat It, Join It

It's not easy being homeless, have nothing to put into your yawning feeding entrance
Sometimes you have to do what you have to do, but how do you do it!
Just keep up with the same 'shit' in the mean time and later you'll clean it all neat.

Sideways, back and forth, you are hit with all sort of staff that aren't spiced with honey but lemon
you and we wait for the sunshine so we stay indoors, for how long are we going to hide under our blankets while we can wake up, walk straight, pick a sword and bring a muscular, brooding presence to the can of worms!

I might sound crazy coz I've been going back and forth on life
but don't you think that we're dreading on what we can't fight and that's why we feel the storm tearing and cutting like knife!
you walk and if there is a bump on your way, you fuzz and break on the ground
It's our time to stand and walk (frown)

Not all will sign in present in your times of struggle and success; Never mind!!
make today your better day by picking from it, beat it and joining it; well that makes sense!
life can be so cruel, in just a second it can run you down. there's no much we can do than to work with what we have to reach our crown and gown
It's up to you how you take it, cherish you don't break it, you'll find a way
It's either you stand tall and firm or with it you'll sway
but if you know you can beat it, then why don't you join it! in this you'll be working with faith because faith is when a fisherman believes a carpenter to show/ teach him how to fish.

The Inner You:

Tell me what you see when you're looking at me,
probably nothing in real or something green,
I' am looking and searching for a probable to work through,
you the righteous one I warn and wicked repent I beseech you.

Heed the bitter but later sweet words,
funny you'll find your casualness in the words when I'm dead,
make it a gymnasium by exercising the art of the words,
you'll soar up high contrary to the ordinary birds.

Take out of nothing when you want something,
it's either you bend or you abide not with pride,
ignite the candle and walk through the light not with the light,
so choose of the right and yours will be positive insights .

Broken Heart

Your heart is deceived with all sort of flowers for love
Yet that heart of the other hurts in pursue of love
Love became the open door for the darkness and brightness
Your heart hates so much coz of love and your heart cares coz of love
 
A broken heart will never be as it once was
A broken heart will always remember
It will cry for revenge for a mere thing that never was
It is a sack heavy loaded with either darkness or brightness 
 
When you want to know who I really I'm, wait for my heart to pop out
You want to know!! Sharp arrows are one of a broken heart
 But mere understanding does not chase away the hurt
If the rain must come! Let it wash away the dark part
 
I went around with my broken heart and wasn't sure who broke it
I got to find! The only soul to mend me is the one that broke me
At the start I thought it was myself, mostly
Ooh!! Broken heart is not fatal. Funny thing!!
Let me leave you with that and put an end to this.
 
Throughout, the broken heart pieces have been left here and there with words of hope
Heavens haven't forgotten, it will turnout stronger within hope
My heart is two sided! One that pumps and the other that loves
You want to fix my broken heart!! I beseech you to learn both
