An Adverse World Unfurled
Suddenly, I constantly cough, cough, cough
I haven't had enough, for this life's so rough 
My friend is right beside me and he truly understands 
Where I stand and I thoughtfully fiddle with my hands 

Oh, my back and knees are hurting once more…
I've been through...

An Adverse World Uncurled
“I am NOT like my father!!!
You say that again, I’m going to kill you!”

I shrivel up in shame
For, I am not to blame
For the shenanigans you put me through so many times
Sometimes, I wish I was no more, but the clock still chimes
 
Yeah, I’m...

Adverse Sarcasm
The weatherman predicts some snow;
He calls for about three inches.
Must be great playing god, to know
How much will fall, but that’s show biz.
I know one thing: if I were wrong
As often as the weathermen
I wouldn’t have my job that long.
They screw-up time and time again
And...

An Adverse World In Reverse
My knees wear out on me 
My feet feel like lead of rue
My knees give way, you see?
My numb feelings isn't because of you

God gave me freewill with no strings attached
I hurt myself so much in the past…in the past...
I love you, Lord, but self-hatred...

An Adverse World
   (I love you as a person,
But I hate being your son
I feel intense hatred nevertheless
Because of your doings that has put me in this distress mess...
I'm making progress,
Hardly a true success 
But, a useful success, according to my unforgettably fantastic family
My fun-loving...

The Adverse World Complete
I can’t stand getting worse and worse by the fast-paced minute
So, set me free from me, colliding and breaking bit by bit
Show me the way in which I should go, Lord of Light
Show me the day in which I need to move on with Your...

An Adverse World 7 Plus 7
Living disobediently and having damaging depression was my past
I was an alcoholic drug addict that wanted satisfaction to last
I’ve been constantly abused mentally, physically, emotionally and in all aspects of life as a whole
Will I ever be free from despondency and loneliness? I am as...

Adverse Camber
It was not expected, this diversion. Being uncommon of a type
And truly off the beaten track; the windscreen wipers wipe
Away the sheets of marmalade rain unremittingly,
Their sweeping swipe at drizzled prisms swept incessantly.

The sun, it emerged, again without expectation. Light fractured cloud
Sparkling off the bonnet...

Beach or you, O' sea
On the bank there none is free
Happiness hugs grey

The Adverse World
I sing my songs with rageful joy in mind,
Forgetting the past struggles, aches and sorrows
That intertwine with my mind’s eye, leaving all of me behind
Forgiving others of their wrongs for better tomorrows

You know who comforts me during hard times? 
Yes, you guessed it, my fluffy,...

Adverse
As the spring sprang out 
The north gone south
Yeah, without no doubt
Indeed it's a parched mouth 

The vessel of a living has gone sere
Not of the scorching planet
Moment of a produced scare
Mimicing an outburst of an angry Janet

Still in game but so lame
Hands re withered...

The Adverse World Unfinished Will Finish
You stole away my lonely melody, Lord,
And made it harmony according to Your accord
I’d like to thank You with all of my heart as I make sound
My mind is trying to look forward to a future of faithfulness abound

I live in the now…I try to...

Adverse To a Person
Adverse To A Person

To a certain person we have become adverse,
Who on us has become a total, absurd curse;
Do realize,
You will recognize;
Words he used were curse as well as terse.

Now Scaramucci's wife is even leaving him.

Adverse Question Mark
The big fake smile turned to an adverse question mark
Right now, its gravid back facing the statement line
Who is who that is that....

One purple flower
blooming among weeds, whispers:
