They assumed she’d always stay,
they assumed she’d let it slide;
They assumed nothing would rattle her,
they assumed she had no pride;
They assumed she was flimsy,
they assumed a high tolerance,
They assumed she’d put up with it,
they assumed her patience was endless;
They assumed no skull and crossbones,
they assumed she wore a white flag;
They assumed she played their game,
They assumed they had her in the bag;
They assumed her fight was her height,
they assumed the truth all along;
They assumed just about everything,
every one of their assumptions was wrong.
Everything was on her terms,
all along she was in control;
Pride was overflowing within her,
she’d be damned if she would stay.
They never ask us
when they raise our taxes
And here it comes:
A new born baby:
Born by education:
A senior of term:
A new semester!.
1) Faces whipped with loneliness
elates themselves.
Eyes laced with Joy,
Teeth embroided with happiness:
With smile inscribed therein.
1)Teeths greeting teeths,
Smiles taking picnic in contentment:
Faces starved of glowing smiles.
2) 'You shouldn't go today'
Her mother had said:
'The first day of resumption
holds unstable words and indecision.
Hence to the market 'day,
at morrow your soles shall kissed your class'.
But why wont she?
"A groom waited on his bride till wedding night. And you say he shouldn't greet her?"
2) We'll get what our souls advocates...
"Ma'm i'll go.... At 'morrow i'll stay!" she said.

Some
say
science
is all fact,
without assumptions-
the myth with a long pedigree.
In a cold, lonely place, where enters night,
You stand alone and filled with fright.
You hear the snicker, a devil’s delight,
But, you’re truly not alone.
Why you’re here, you do not know
How you got here or how to go
And therefore you tremble on, just so,
Thinking of all you’ve done.
Please remember, there exists a line
Interwoven through epochs of time.
It will prevent you from your heinous crime,
So grab it, please take hold!
Help and guidance is in the knowing
Of your life, so prevalent, showing
Like slides on a wall, you are growing
To fight against this cold.
Take the hand that forever awaits you.
Though cold and lost, it won’t forsake you.
The love that waits is just so true
And for you, was always there.
Reach through darkness, light is seen.
You are only just a human being.
You really are not all that mean
We want to give you care.
Maybe now you will see your reflection
And it will move you in a different direction.
Don’t be harsh upon your inflection,
You have a beautiful soul.
Let all who wait, give you their hands.
From that place you’ll see other lands.
Then your life will surely be grand.
You have now assumed control.
