A piece of paper
Blowing down the street
Negotiators
Trading their deceits
I can’t be bothered
If things are getting mental
Go get some other
Who is more instrumental
Out on the terrace
I’m sitting with my juice
Some look embarrassed
Some hanging on the loose
Some say tomaito
I say tomato
Wind blows a paper
A page in quarto..
It flies away
Nobody turns a head
We live to pay
Agreeing or dissent
I have no clue
Why things are getting mental
My point of view
Is fairly incidental..
Restless dreams take over me
They repeat themselves
In unconscious reverie
I reveal no sense
Always travelling to place
That I should remember
Need to see my darling’s face
It’s the main agenda
But she can’t be there to tell
And I have no clue
Why I’m here in this hotel
In the room I knew
Down there in the trees
Leaves are rustling low
The Bayswater Road beneath
In the evening glow.
I'm not proud to say I've done drugs I've drank.
I'm not proud to say I was happy doing them.
every time I was high it was an escape from what I should have been facing.
I got drunk just cause I knew people who drank.
I'm tired of trying to fit in with everyone.
sure i may be weird in my own way.
people tell me i have good looks.
and my looks is what gets me places but I'm tired of people only seeing my looks.
i want them to see me for me past the smile past the fake smile's past it all.
I'm not proud of the things iv done and now that im graduating in may it scares me
it scares me that i have no clue what im doing with my life
i don't have a job and soon I won't have anything to communicate with people.
I'm scared of everything.
I wanted this year to go well for me but how can it go well when i don't know what iI'm doing.
I have offers to college but no money to go.
I'm scared that I'm always going to be traped in this house that I want to escape.
When the time comes
In this long life of mine
Most of my life worked out fine.
There were a lot of times I had to ask for help.
And sometimes I had to figure it out myself.
Sure, I made a lot of mistakes.
And in my life I got a lot of breaks.
So right before I go will have no regrets.
And this family of mine is my biggest asset.
I always knew this family of mine would be great.
This family of mine never had hate.
However, they are available if you wish to debate.
Sometimes I feel like I still have more to give
But whatever it is, I have no clue.
Today, as I look in my family's eyes
Deep down, I know I won the great prize.
Every day you all live in my heart.
And nothing will ever keep us apart.
I know deep down your love will always shine on me.
And I know that will come with a one hundred percent.

It's a ghost she screamed
Then she fainted
But no darling
It was the spirit she drank
She's so high
Hennessy to be precise
Her vision was blurry.
Now she's unconscious
Right in my bedroom
She drank to stupor
The DJ overwhelmed her
I have no clue, what to do
I've poured her water
But she wants a kiss
She said; my kisses is the water of life.
I hope she wake up
Don't wanna lose her
I keep saying to myself
Silently while I wait
Then I heard a whisper
Kiss me once more
Your kiss is so soothing and liberating
I never knew she was pretending
Just to get a hold of me.
Words Don't Have Power
Their Intended Meaning Does.
Their Un-Intended Meaning Does.

Since I Am Not
The Only One Reading This
I Have No Clue:
What Power They Have
Over YOU.

Time speeds up,
I slow down.
In my pain,
I started to drown.
I flew so HIGH,
With no fear.
The consequences
Were severe.
I ended up here
All alone.
With no place
To call my own.
Lived my life,
Doing time.
My eyes were open,
But I Was blind.
I remember
yesterday.
I know there is
A price to pay.
I have no clue
About tomorrow.
If I need it,
I have to borrow.
My body is broke,
My head screams.
My life shattered
to Smithereens.
How did time
Pass me by?
When I was flying,
Oh, so high.

You Have All Of The Answers
You never listened to me.
I’m not blind you see.
You acted like I was dumb,
And stupid.
Like I have no life experience.
Another brick wall.
You took everything for granted.
Never appreciated.
You're so young.
You have all of the answers.
I guess I’m just old.
I have no clue.
Don’t ask for any more handouts.
I’m not blind sided.
Disrespectful generation.
You don’t even need me.
Just do as you please.
You always need money.
Can’t wipe your ass forever.
You have all the answers.
All the wasted talks we’ve had.
Maybe one day, you will understand.
Forgot to wait for it
Fcking got me again
Let my guard way too far down
Didn't even see this one begin
These chemicals got us on lock
With the hardest chains to break thru
It's like I'm walkin in this haze with you
Waiting for the chaos to ensue
All it takes is a tiny little attitude
And the war stews
Explosions all around me...
I'm so confused
Didn't even know pain is my only truth
What am i supposed to do?
Apparently I have no clue...
It's a circle I can't seem to get around
Slamming my head into the corners
Of this reality
Wtf do yall want from me??
Everytime I think I'm figuring out what this life is all about
Sht gets all flipped upside down
Kuz I guess my face supposed to keep a frown
Life is pain?
Or was it love?
Both kinda work
If I don't catch the bluff..
When is enough enough?
Why is getting through this so damn rough?
When will my heart be tough enough
To know not to trust??
Like.....f*cckk
At least give me some time
To readjust
Like..I blink once..blink twice
Bam!!
Ima b*tch again
I was still on the page
Where we lovers AND best friends
Guess my pace a little too slow
...idk
Free my soulllll!!!
I speak one language – Americanized English
Technology is an anomaly I do not speak
The internet has gone away tonight
I have no clue how to coax it back
My husband is asleep, so I cannot finish my movie
I sit in the dark, in silence
Without tv, computer or I-pad access
In an internet-deficient house
I am not tired so I pick up a pen
It has been a few weeks since I wrote anything
This might be my muse forcing me to write.
Every morning I wake up,
Depression blanketing me.
It feels like I'm unable
To get away or be free.
I don't know if I can
Keep doing this anymore.
Every day seems to become
Even more of a chore.
I don't know how to get better.
I can't escape this dark place.
I can no longer keep
This fake smile on my face.
Life keeps getting worse
More and more each day.
I have no clue how to
Stop it or make it go away.
Every day this darkness
Finds its way inside of me,
Constantly tormenting me.
Why won't it let me be?
I don't have the strength
To pick myself up off the floor,
And I don't think I want
To save myself anymore.
When I read poetry, I have no clue;
so, I imagine that the poet meant
he would soon, to the afterworld, be sent,
and wrote to his dear love before he flew.
Dying young, he would sadly miss her life,
and hoped that his beloved one would know
that he would watch over her down below,
the one who, one day, might have been his wife.
Experience informs that timeless love
of the soul, sans aging or appearance,
lives on forever with perseverance.
Wherefrom comes such love - maybe from above.
I deserve it at this point,
I see it coming every time.
I know your promises are hollow,
And your love riddled with lies.
I’ve stayed this long just hoping
(that) maybe one day things could change.
Despite repeating cycles,
Foolishly, I choose to stay.
Why you ask? I I have no clue.
I know just what this is.
The same old things, a different day.
My anxiety as bad as his.
We wake up every morning
And brace ourselves for war.
Each other’s hearts we’ll break,
And leave each other hurting more.
What is it that you see in me?
Do you really even know?
With friction you’ll forget
all that you loved so long ago.
I’m in love with your memory,
the ghost of you, it haunts my soul.
But are we truly dead?
Or are we both still wonderful?
It’s painful now to sift –
(to) try and see the right from wrong.
Are you this horrid monster?
(or) were you my soulmate all along?
My sea has no shore
Where are you, I have no clue
The ocean is so big that I can't find the shore.
My sinking boat has no sailor,
Sailor, I have no support,
The ocean is so big that I can't find the shore.
Is it salty or salty or salty?
I don't understand,
But this world is so bitter that I can't find it
The ocean is so big that I can't find the shore.
I try very hard to reach the shore,
But maybe I am dear to this shore
That's why
The sea has no shore.
Sailor, keep on pounding,
Maybe someone will see you and try to save you,
Or take you to the shore,
But don't forget to thank them, otherwise
Your sea will never reach the shore.
You make your breath as cold as the moon and embrace me in you.
Before that, I got up and said,
"The ocean is so big that I can't find the shore."
there is a pronounced mystic star on my palm
she laughs at my consternation
I have read palms in other lifetimes
in this one, I have no clue what a mystic star means
she gives me a reassuring wink
I guess I might find out in my next lifetime
