Long Truth hurts Poems

Dedicated to the song “Trouble” by Coldplay 

(Verse 1) 
I didn’t mean to
I didn’t mean to
I didn’t mean to cause you trouble 
Oooh ah oooh
I didn’t mean to act so uncanny
I didn’t mean to act...

You, alone, can be the cure to my grief
The guilt that overflows and then gives birth to mirthwhile relief
Because of you, my temporary highs don't easily wear off
Because if you are here, life would be...

And you peck my red nose
You wished me a farewell with a sunlit glee I can't forget
I can't recall the times we spent in bliss...I only remember those days of...

Juneteenth

Juneteenth let's go down history 
For years it was a mystery
Slavery had parted 
Let's find out where it started
June 19,1865 
Slavery had no longer been deprived 
We had been freed 
From picking cotton 
Being forgotten...

Brighter than the city of Jerusalem
Yet I find no pleasure i you

I’ve endured a thousand thunderstorms in my brain
I’ve cured a thousand more to feel your rainfall’s pain

Her life turned upside down, endless chorus of tears,
jilted she hoped he would stop in the name of love.
What was once endless love was now songs full of fears.
Her baby love left her lost like...

Being an empath has its ups and downs…
Being an empath has its smiles and frowns…
I just know when people are talking behind my back…I am but a horribly lonesome shack
It’s sad that family and friends...

I stood atop of my pointed view and felt the sharp tooth of truth.
How elegantly we lived the lie,  a fictional legend always on the edge of a prequel.
But the sharp tooth of truth...

We're okay, okay?
God is awesome
I must-must pray 
I am - should I say this? - handsome
I have low self-esteem issues 
Nothing new...listening to my muses of blues
Without having any clues...
That I'm in the similar shoes...

Pretty awesome

The unexplainable love I have for you
Pretty awesome

And I believe them
Can I give/show love if I'm filled with hate?
Can I care if I choose to avoid...

Truth Hurts but Sets You Free

I have no ounce for your feelings,
they misguide you so.
They throw you on a rollercoaster,
they shift your position to and fro.

One moment you are up,
and the next you are down,

Eyes that can't see clearly,
Ears that can't hear keenly 
Shame embraced me, never leaving my presence 
I hated the moments you called me a boy that's dense...
It just doesn't make sense...
Hence, I think up on...

Words I write...erased
Words I speak comes out one ear
Love I send...hated

Your words left unsaid
But, instead, tucked in my head
Wondrin' when it's said...

I dread the silence 
I need you, I want you now 
Patience...self-control 

Singing and...

You think that I'm stupid, you believe I'm naive,
But I see through your actions, and your words, I perceive,
I see the disfunction, I wish not to confront,
Because if I chose to tell you, it would...

Powerful words,
Truthful words,
Honest words,
Brave words;
This is exactly what the Doctor orders,
For a nation, who's trying to fight the horrors
Of blatant racism,
Unfairness, injustice,
Nepotism and sexism.
A man of Peace,
Without controversies,
Is not a genuine activist.
The truth is being...

How and why

War
Is where
Nobody wins
And everybody sins
At the unbeautiful bar
War is hell on earth
At birth
God created humans
To be better than the lions
And the other nefarious predators
That’s a given
War transforms young men
And young women
Into absurd killers and murderers
War...

Blaming the white men
Is the idea, the insane ideas
That many of you have in your eyes
In your head and in your brain.

You’re scared of the truth
You’re playing the ugly lute
The sad refrain that you ought...
