I'll cut you off and not look back That's just from having a mindset of lack I'll ghost you out of my sight Out of mind and out of life I'll make sure I don't leave any crumbs I don't want to end up leaving my presence. I don't care how much you say that it hurts It's better for...

Staring at my learners in my four-cornered room I see the dynamics of life as I zoom into The shadow that’s not displayed Some smoke weed Not realizing that they will bleed in the workplace Some enjoy cough syrup with a cool drink Not realizing that this simple addition will Change the transaction in their lives Later, it turns to tablets...

Soldiers with the cornered colonel Said to crack him like a kernel, Easily made him surrender, Account of his orders render… Colonel Smith, on his neck flannel, Suddenly facing a Panel In his house and front verandah, Two watching from his Coriander… They knew where to questions channel: “Who’d twelve men shot from tunnel?” Many had guessed: Major Lander But order from Smith Evander… Their decision...

When you paint yourself into a corner, You have got to be insane It's no use to blame others When you are the one to blame Standing in the corner. Completely trapped and alone Who's fault is this, Your's Mister, Your's and Your's alone I wonder what you are thinking, It deserves some serious thought, Does the position you have placed yourself, Make you overwrought.

I better run away, I should go and hide; The marks you left are deep; Lingering just below the surface where they know they will survive; You took my soul and whispered ‘You will never be the same again.’; Now the teeth you bared are lethal, but you taught me how to bite; Just what to do with undetectable poison, now...

Writing in a room with an insolent ceiling, Haughty in its skill at keeping thoughts out of reach, Emotions darted above me, bat-like in their evasion, A rapture of denial, pushing me away. Ever I spun toward memory - always a quarter-turn ahead; The seasons hid their faces, the Heavens turned their back, Inspiration's cache stood just offshore, vanishing in fog; What...

Cornered by life on a steep cliff, Shedding tears accompanied by a slight sniff. That's all that's left of a man...
