One More Glance

Everyday I wake up and I go to work
Criticism isn't given to child drug dealers
They understand that everyone needs a way to live
I walk through the slums of Brazil working day and night
I help pay for my siblings so they may eat
But once a week, I find my reason to continue on
I go out and play soccer with my friends
Just so I can hear the muse
Of the crowd cheering from the stadium
No wall can block those lights in the sky
This inspires me to go on to the next week every time
And finally after years, I bought tickets to the game
Brazil scored a game winning goal in the final minute
And in that moment, I could see the fireworks again
The fireworks that had inspired and illuded me for years
And I sat down and I cried of joy
To see those fireworks one last time
As I knew that I wouldn't live to see them again

They Can Finally Flow

I've been holding this act for 10 years
No boy there to hold me tight
No family to share my feelings
No friends to play with
But one day you barge into my heart
But what you did with it took me by surprise
It wasn't stomped on, but tendered
You've sown the holes in my heart
You've broken the dam in my eyes
I not alone anymore
And for the first time my skin felt warm
My body felt like the most beautiful delicate flower
I wrapped my arms around you
And for the first times in ten years
I can finally let my tears flow

It's All My Fault

I saw you that fateful day at school
When my eyes struck yours, I was in awe
I've loved you since that day
But every time I try to express myself, I'd stop
Choking on my words
And so for years I just wondered what could be
But finally I asked you out at Senior prom
You said that you would love too
You said that you have been waiting for 6 years
I was flustered with emotions of agony
Yet our dance was led by joy
You walked off to a distant college
Leaving our blossoming love to wither
As I thought to myself, why didn't I ask before?
To this day, I wait for you
I wait for our love to have a chance to blossom once more
I regret never showing my true feelings
Until it was too late

Ive Lost Everything But Hope

I have lost everything
My home, my family, my friends
But I cant weep a thousand days
I cant feel sorry for myself
I must get up once again
I must achieve my goals
I have to face reality
I will continue on for everybody
I will lighten a path for those in my shadows
I will lead them to hope
And pain will never hold people back again

The Marked Bullet

We fight each day for our own survival
We all have our inspirations at home waiting with hope
Going through hell and back is our daily job
But there is one thing that we dare not think of at any time
The known fact that there is an enemy out there waiting
His clip loaded with a special bullet
The bullet has our name engraved in it waiting to finish us off
But the job that we chose was to protect our country before that bullet comes
So each day we march through the swamps
As the only thing we can do is pray
But we have one personal task that we must achieve
When the day that we come face to face with that bullet
We must ask ourselves one thing
Did we do our very best to fight for the man right next to us
The brother that we went through hell with and fought to protect
That is the ultimate goal of every soldier before the day that bullet comes
To protect our country, family, and brothers in arms

The Art of Life

The wall is colorless, empty
I cant draw anything yet
But each day I splash some paint on
Not even knowing my creation
I splash and splash away
Red, blue, green, yellow, violet...
And one day
On my final breathes
I step back to look at my picture
Its my friends and family
All with open arms and smiling
My final tears finish the painting
Its beauty is unrivaled
I can finally put my paintbrush away
And I can finally close my eyes
Happily

The King of a Dream

Buildings towering above me
All of the lights flashing down on me
Yet I'm alone, unwelcome
The people pushing me to the ground
The rich men spitting on my face
But I get up and sweep it off
Because I've made a promise
A promise to my loving friend
That lives no more
I will rise above them all
I will be strong
I will grasp the stars above
Their bodies wont weigh me down
I will grow up to become the king
The king of this loving land
Because my friend couldn't do it
I'll make his dream come true
So we can both be happy together
Once more

I Am the Inspiration

I am weak now
But each second, I will grow stronger
And as I grow stronger
I surpass each goal, each opponent, each loss
One day I will look into the stars
And I will know that I am undefeated
Both at heart and at will
That is the day that I grasp the heavens
And become invincible to the eyes of the doubters and the weak
That is the day I become the inspiration

The Silent Man

Once a person of true happiness throughout everyone's heart
The man who could roar and be heard across the world
But this roar was of only for a short time
For one day he would start losing instead of gaining his strength
As he had to leave his friends behind him to continue on with life
So his roar could only be heard across the country
But then he was forgotten by his family to make him even weaker
Now he could only be heard across the valley
But one day he lost what was the most precious of all to him
His beloved left him for another which crumpled him to pieces
So now the man who was heard all around the world, was now silent
He is left with only the ability see and never feel as his heart is too weak
Forgotten to all and even history itself 
The lion king turned into a silent mouse
As his life vanished, so did his happiness

A Lost Dream of Love

You fill my heart with a light so pure
All doubts and hatred escapes
You are the sun to my cloudy dayd
You stop the bullets marked with my name
You reinforce my battles
You stop my tears
But when I awaken you are gone
I'm alone in this room with no light or happiness
I can't handle going without you
So I drift off to sleep to visit you once more
And finally since my life was so dull without you
I decided that one special drink may do the trick
I hoped that I could finally be with you for eternity
But as I went to join you in my eternal rest, you were gone
And so forever more I am alone once again
And I never get to see my true love ever again
I couldn't wait until the end
