My Wrist

Knocking across my abilities
That I could find it tough
The battle to play in no time
My wrist dissipating out of power
To watch the surroundings of ours
Such that my hand less weighed
Although no stretch made possible.

Thinking within my instincts
Where I should search some options
The decision to put into action
Oh medulla! Why no pathway?
To create some streams of ideas
For I felt too overwhelmed
Regardless that I got a relief.

Waving through my oceans
All the flows zero viscous
The length to alter no frequency
Getting myself move steady
Moving in a manner of disbelief
One of my organs hearing a relief
Strengthening a progress being chief.

Looking behind the windows
No creature would be visible
Such a view to loudly shout at
Eyes smelling the sound of bitterness
Having myself dance in betterness
'cause it led me fully relaxed
And finally my wrist had relieved.

Lack

If words could dig deep
Mine will cause an earth quake,
Soil every tear to an ocean
Search the face of happiness
And wrath good in it's season.


If food was not costly,
I would feed the nations,
Put smiles and bring heaven down
But what does a pauper do!

Healing through memories,
Fighting the spoils to face the day
Oh the dawn comes
Terrifying my confidence,
Shattering my hopes
Who will cook this earth to betterness!

Why is lack trendy!!!

Are You Happy Now

Are you happy
Now that I am gone
Or did you realize 
That I am the only one
Who has seen
Who you really are
And everytime you lied to me
You never thought you'd get caught
And you could never remember 
What you were taught

(chorus)
As i cried
You lied
As I waited 
You hated
As I held on
You let go

Every tear we shed
Together
Every hour we spent 
In the others arms
You weren't really there
As any form of a Lover
And your person
Wahs hidden under a cover
You left me 
Out of your reach

(chorus)
As I cried 
You lied
As I waited
You hated
As I held on
You let go

(bridge)
Now I see
The betterness has left me
I wanted you so bad
I couldn't see the truth
       And now

I cant stand this fight with you
I dont want you anymore
I cant stand the sight of you
I dont love you anymore
