My Story
My name's ANGIE, are you listening?
I grew up listening to that group called Rolling Stones
I was told you're wasting your time by dreaming
They never knew how harsh they were with those tones.
YOU CAN'T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT
Words they thought were normal for dreamers
I didn't see why not, nothing could stop that
Until one RUBY

Decay is the new Love
Look out for the flickering lights;
I heard some glass shattering
shards geting swallowed in the hurricane's tyranny
and tyranny pleading at patriarchy's feet.
Look out for the desparation;
penetrating out of familiar, rough gilded eyes
flowers wrapped in hands withering over time
and love swirling among the rusted frames
of oldest bus stand of town.

Tattoo Deportation- Inked in Chains
The sound of wheels on tarmac
Keeps me focused
Keeps me grounded
Keeps me present
The sound of wheels on tarmac
Takes me farther and farther away
From everything I have ever known
Chained up like a worthless dog
The sound of wheels on tarmac
Reminds me that rebellion
Always comes at a price
You just have to decide if it’s worth the prize
The sound of

Lost hope
Hope was there for a long time...
Creeped several efforts to climb
Now it faded away by the pause
It is lost because there is a cause...

14 LOST HOPE
I don't know what to do, I don't know where to start
they've told me I've got cancer and it's torn my world apart
they told me they could treat it, but they had to operate
I asked them "what's my chances" they said "that's down to fate"
I had to tell my husband, which really didn't bode to

Lost Hope
Blatant chaos. Colorful lights mark our path.
Distant waves confuse my sight.
Heads driven into madness, minds broken.
Avoiding the edge. Lost in silence we found our souls.
Vibes of mint and echoes of lemon.
Wake from your dream, I am deeply amused.
Venting ash from cosmic depressions.
Quantum fear descends the tension.
Life is great, I have learned my lesson.

I'm Not Perfect
I’m so far from perfect.
Sometimes, I let fears discourage me.
Many times, I let shadows worry me.
Sometimes, I let the tears fall silently.
Other times, I can’t seem to find a way to breathe…
Through the pain, the dread, the dismay,
All those things that make me feel so much shame.
I’m so far from perfect, you see!
There are days

Lost Hope
Oh, say can you see,
All the dead by the sea?
What so proudly we hailed,
Now we put them in jail!
And the dawns early light,
Obviously, there's been a fight!
With AR15s,
We've sent a lot to heaven!
Who's broad stripes,
And bright stars,

So Many Men Who Take
So many men who take
And in doing so cause damage and Heart break
To women who must put the pieces back together
They rise up from the pain
They start looking once again
In the stormy weather
For this beautiful thing called love
They rise above
The pain
With new hope again
Only to meet the same or worse calibre as

How a Snake Lost Hope
I saw
some mouses
and
Two multicoulored
snakes.
The snakes
Hunted
The mouses.
After seeing those
Two venomous
And dangerous
Reptiles ,
I stoped
Labouring the ground
To chase the snakes.
Luckly one of
Them failed
Into my hands.
It was a victim
With
No hope to survive
As it always
Known
Dangerous
Animal in many
Rural communities.
One man took it
To the far bush,
And the

We Are Victims
We are victims
Tied with common fetters
Loosed in thoughts of varied choices and desires
Loosely searching to make ends meet:
The meeting at this spot,
Either to go or stay, is a choice.
We are victims
Of the policies of pain
Emitted to drive us crazy,
We are on the street , though not crazy.
Destroying our common patrimony.
In futility,

May Be
May be, something better is coming
As the roadblocks are growing
Although, it's demanding a lot
And I feel like i am totally lost
But may be its the cost
So that, later on I won't be mocked
Yes, it sucks
When it's not working
When it's continuously hurting
When most of it seems worthless
Rendering me clueless
May be I am a

Richman Shenanigans
How is it my fault that I took a leap of faith
Like any naive girl in townships looking for good life
I mixed with wrong people who promised me soft life in Dubai
Excitement journeyed my mind to things I can buy
Little did I know I was sold a lie
Girls are labeled slay queens to

Sunsets Lost Hope
Slowly she creeps
into the hearts
into the minds
into the mist
of fleeing sun.
Hiding the sheen
of dappled doe
masking the eyes
of prey and foe.
Holding for ransom
a thin moon’s hope
as puppeteer stars
stringlessly float
under canopied darkness
of sunset’s lost hope.
