How do you confess yourself?

How do you confess yourself?
Over chicken and rice
In the light of a moment
In laughter and life?

Or is it with warning?
"Please don't be mad."
Trembling lips
Narrowed eyes and red hands

Or is it with silence?
Scribbled words on a bed
Leave for the weekend
Buzzing phone wasting dead

Or is it with defiance?
A mock-up of "brave"
I will not let myself
Destroy me today

Or is it an apology?
"I'm sorry I was scared"
But your tongue is so telling
Your thoughts were so bare.

How do you confess yourself?
In a way that is true
Bare your soul to the people
You hope care for you

Building of a Empire You

the side hunt of another being distracts from the main goal the bigger picture new blood in the tribe all ways brings new thunder in the lighting storm of a cloud to rest tribesmen warriors questioned on there Integrity coucils held in different ways non
traditoal ways many societys in the past life many crumbles many edgeings craved in stone from past generations in the over all lifeform many civalazations  crumbled before the one being build before the eyes of the laborers the laborers of the temple the foundation of the 
lifeform The structue of which u create for ur self the old carpenters saying mesaure twice 
cut once comes to mind we all might not come out square every mock up but the 
ability to adjust and measure up time and time again to become the master piece 
we all want to become is the test of the builder within

Word of Honor

With your mock-up words
                                    Neither you can be trusted;
                                                    "WALK YOUR TALK", ignored!
