Playing mind games everyday
What does that get us hurts only you
The one who runs the mouth
It ain't all about you it's all about them
What games you play when you are heading for the end
You be the only one that loses out
We go through our day
Like zombies at night
Praying on the weak
It's a game we all play
In some part of our lives
We want to roll first
We want to take them down
But I don't understand why
The games we play when love is at a close
Hurts only those around
The bigger picture is the one of a family before
It's not about pity choices
Who gets what
Who takes who to the cleaner
This game was played out of love
Out of the odds which weren't in your favor
But it does not have to end with an absolute victory
Because the price is to high
The ones who lose the biggest are your children
So look around just because the building has crumbled
Does not mean the foundation needs to fall to
Carry on and put the mind games aside
Because everyone has a chance to win when you play fair.
Ignorance is a lie;

Separation is a lie;
A construct of inflated ego.
Hatred is a lie;
A construct of self-directed loathing.
Powerlessness is a lie;
A construct of apathy.
Racism is a lie;
a construct of ignorance.
Entitlement is a lie
A construct of degradation.
Death is a lie;
A construct of embedded fear.
Poverty is a lie;
A construct of perverted power.
Dominance is a lie;
A construct of perversion.
Construct: A complex image or idea formed
of a number of simpler images or ideas.
Reconstruct: rebuild from the ground up.
Thoughts are things, and words have power to transform;
A construct of enlightenment.

I feel broken, I feel bruised
I feel lost, I feel confused
I can hear demons chanting my name
I can see the fire, I can feel the flames.
Jesus, Jesus,
I plead Jesus, Jesus
I have mind games playing tricks on me
Lord, I need a Victory
Mind Games
Poem
Lionel Derbyshire
Pack away the day
Lay back lay back
Park..
The mind games
Is coming to play
It is nightime
What mystic awaits
Either horrible goblin
Or merry fairy
Wait the exit wounds
Here comes the game's
To mock and bother
And the mind
Beguiles you as bait
The stay awake
Without sedation
The play begins with
Hallucinating images
Of awful characters
Weird and fierce
Attacking your repose
You are lost in bed
Game's the mind play
Happens at bedtime
Stops and robs our
Peace of mind
With suds of turmoil
In our dreams
Our spirit, our morale
Surrenders and
Tumbles in with certainty
On tricks the mind play
Now we fear sleep
40 winks in quarrel
I'm up
In the middle of the night
Why the hell
Must we lose sleep
Because of sappy guilt.
She liked the sound of music
Soft and sultry
Sometimes dark
But mostly in mind
She liked turning him on
Watching him smile
Undressing her slowly
But mostly in mind
She liked the sound of music
Soft and sultry
Sometimes dark
But mostly in mind
She liked the way he teased her
Moving slowly to her love zone
Tantalising her soul
But only in mind
She liked the sound of music
Soft and sultry
Sometimes dark
But mostly in mind
She liked the build up
The tension
The screaming, the release of pleasure
But only in mind.
Cognisant of what’s absent
signals we are not present,
for it is but negation
of manifest creation.
Thus mindfulness of absence,
say of scent of bliss incense,
relies upon memory,
scripting another story.
Awareness must be sans thought,
free from forms ego begot,
with no anticipation
colouring meditation.
In such vibrant being-ness,
we’re one with the that oneness,
in a mode embrace-release,
flowing with nonchalant ease.

Endless speculation to no avail
The rising sun needs no introduction
God dwells within, so we fearlessly sail
Endless speculation to no avail
Resonating with love, we cannot fail
As we vaporise in jubilation
Endless speculation to no avail
The rising sun needs no introduction

The version you had of me
Never existed
Just an illusion
You created.
The story never ends
I exist in different shades
Hidden behind masks
Or wearing tinted glasses.
Mind games
Spells to entice
Cards played right
A hidden fire ignites.
What do you think of yourself?
What's the matter with you?
Why are you playing mind games?
Grow up buddy continue study
Stop emotional blackmailing
Stop brainwashing People
Are you out of your mind?
Why are you doing all this?
For fun for revenge for Satan
My name is Abad Ur Rehman..
Note. Stay in limit..
I'm afraid of dying
But I'm also afraid of living
I'm afraid of getting shot or stabbed
But I'm also afraid of falling of a skateboard or driving over the speed limit
I'm afraid of losing family members
But I'm also afraid of having kids
I'm afraid of drinking too much and throwing up
But I'm also afraid of how I'll look if I don't drink at all
I'm afraid that I might be too conceited and full of myself
But I'm also afraid that I wont fit in and nobody will like me
I'm afraid that I won't fulfil my dreams and aspirations
But I'm also afraid that I will become successful but I still won't be satisfied
I'm afraid that I will find the love of my life but she will be unfaithful to me
But I'm also afraid that i will find the love of my life and i will be unfaithful to her
I'm afraid that when i die I will not be remembered for what I want them to remember me for
But I'm also afraid that when i die no one will remember me at all
Memory - that trickster of time
that gives us glimpses, pictures sublime
of rose tinted schooldays, birthdays and more
sandcastled weekends and Christmas of yore.
Yet, seems to paint over the guilt and the pain,
the bullying schoolboy, the weekend of rain.
The empty feeling of love unspoken,
or else the confusion of friendships broken.
As if we need to remember the good
and not the rotten and old dead wood.
Like an old game show that plays in your mind,
a sepia movie that runs in rewind,
a cheesy Presenter says, "Let's see how you've done!
These are the prizes you could have won!"
Is a war going on 'out there?'
~ Only if one's going on 'in there.'
Mind over matter
It's as simple as can be
If you don't - it don't

You have a million people
and I have none
you’ll lose that million
and I’ll gain one
People are no use
Word against word
evidence I use
your lies heard
