Pressure in a crowded mind A test where rest is hard to find The guilt that comes with procrastination , Leads me to kill my imagination . “Be the best”, they say. But do they know The pain I suffer each day I grow They see the grades, the smiles , the light But do they see the fright I...

Son of Man, pause before judgment's seat, Lest haste consume your soul's retreat. Do what's right, yet don't waste precious time, For pleasing all is a futile rhyme. In seeking validation, you may lose your way, And those you please will mock you on your final day. Marry with wisdom, don't borrow to impress, For pleasing others can lead to financial distress. You...

So I turned 21 And I couldn’t help but feel That the dreams I once had Began to slowly seal That every birthday after this I sink further into the mundane And the painful truths that await But hey… “no pain, no gain” Even good ol’ Christmas time All the love and holiday cheer Floats away for every candle that’s blown As the magic becomes less...

Hither all her desires, thither my fires, Balancing both, burden became my life. In hope of love I walked with wilderness, Breathe in, breathe out, mundane became my life. For an excuse to smile, I just shed tears, Crematorium’s cauldron became my life. You came to my world, to a wrong address, To blessings beholden became my life. Flowers vie with thorns...

I need a man Who'll never fail to hold my hand I need a man Who'll compete with my fictional men I need a man Who'll lose fights with me now and then... I need a man Who'll hug me with his heart Who'll handle me like an art Who'll love to hear me talk... I need a man Whose touch feels safe Who'll love to stay...

Thou hast engaged my hand, With your fairy’s magic wand, The ring which you placed on my finger, Along with which I do all around your house- doth Linger. Thee fairy more graceful even compared to Venus, Thou pierced my heart with thy kindness, I will forever with you be, As I respect thy love and thee. Thou hast the eyes of a...

These rules you are afraid to break, They're not made for heaven's sake, Rules based on idols of sin, So where did they begin, Composed by the originator of the LIE, His goal for you is to die, A death separated from your creator, Your loss making his gain greater, His rules have now shaped...

Wind cannot shatter your tree of glass Your performance of involvement pushes you afar A moon can shine with euphoric light It shines and tries to avoid its dark side But you stand, shifting, alive and in place Your hands steady Shakes buried Somewhere not today. Your breath a sign of angels Your soul not out of place A beauty in your angles And not...

I have the rhythm of a winding road how do I consign myself to being confined rows of poplar pillars prop the rendezvous canopy beneath we meet —I self-cajole on ooh-la-la afternoon yellow eyes; daffodils watching lean into gossip groups nodding a prodding breeze instigating deep-freeze I am a sweet weed in this place of sway and betray with a stranger...

Having an expectation, Will ruin the sensation, Of even the best occasion. When below your expectation, It affects your relation, To the situation. Losing the true value, Behind your creation, Due to the expectation. ...

I've Given Up I’ve given up on chasing stars, On mending scars with broken jars. The weight of dreams too far to reach, Has stolen words I used to preach. I’ve given up on morning light, On battles waged in endless night. The fires once burned in my chest, Now smolder, silent, laid to rest. I’ve given up on hope’s cruel song, A melody that...

Is it too much to expect? Or must I not much expect? Probably scale down on my expectations? Or do I say, ''away with expectations?'' And nothing expect? ...
