Predetermined prostitution
Selling out to make it big
Gendered, soulless horrification
Getting greedy to feed the pig
Horrifying landscape changes
Maintenance of status quo
Antagonistic soul estranges
Burning embers afterglow
Disregarded foolish notions
Swept along by blood and greed
Fanciful and dark devotions
Haunt me now until I'm freed
Set my soul for resurrection
Save me from these dire straits
Bounded by a predilection
Tumultuation this creates
Take me now into the darkness
Hold me down until I scream
Fascination with the harkness
Close my eyes until I dream
Disregarded foolish notions
Swept along by blood and greed
Fanciful and dark devotions
Haunt me now until I'm freed
Take me now from this indulgence
Take me to the doors of death
Feed me to the sweet effulgence
As I take my final breath

You disciplined me
For taking what I desire
You taught me to be TRUTH
Cause no one tolerates a liar
You must serve
All those who have a need
You must deliver and go
Cause you carry seed
You pour out and in
But never expect a return
To be a winning warrior
Is what you are here to learn
I'm no victim
I'm grown, I've always known
To be who I AM
It is required to be alone
...in LOVE
When He comes to claim
The very work of His hands
Will there be one human
Who will dare to understand
The price for being accepted
Is to be rejected for difference
Though integrity and passion
Are always running interference
...the scars remain
No point in running
A finger over damaged skin
The debt is forgiven
Where every possibility has been

Months have passed by since I last saw you,
I cannot still forget the worrying eyes that you had on that night,
leaving me thought, that we weren't okay but,
I still disregarded it because you seemed to be okay,
I wanted to apologize for setting aside the real problem that we had
and wish I could turn back the time to correct my approach and make things right for us, but this time I will make sure that your personal space will be prioritized.

When we were with each other,
Her fond looks I disregarded;
Her true feelings I neglected.
What a stupid I was then!
There’s no use crying over spilt milk…
