Disturbing Untold Story
I heard a story today, it felt just like mine,
In this scary, monster city, it made my heart pine.
Someone hurt themselves, tore their own skin, you see.
Yes, a story just like mine, it came right back to me.
You are brave, so much braver than I.
You told your hurt out loud, under the open sky.
My pain,

SIN, SATAN, AND DEATH HOW THE THREE RELATE
In shadows deep, where darkness weaves its thread,
Sin's whispered lure, a path where mortals tread.
Temptation's fruit, a taste of what's denied,
It's here that Satan's cunning plans reside.
With cloven hooves and fiery eyes ablaze,
The fallen one, in wicked ways, conveys,
Deception's art, the master of the lie,
As Sin and Satan dance beneath the sky.
But Death, a specter

9Ja Palava
One jumble
For the pains
So I no go fumble
Even amidst trouble
For this rumble of life.
My brain
Dey burst
This thinking
Don dey cause migraines
Make me won to migrate
To a place
Where I feel calculate and relate.
Even when I meditate
I no fit get the kind state
Of mind I need
I've got a turbulent mindset

Relate
Insight can only come from Him,
When the world attempts to trick us with sin,
We ask for wisdom to see and the love to understand,
The motions and intentions, and the heart of man,
For God to open our eyes and truly see,
The depths beyond what we think we need,
The truth behind what we feel and know,
The

A Spine Within A Heart
A spine within a heart
My heart aches within
Something pushing and poking in
Poking out
Knowing out
Trapped in
Happiness is within trying to seep out
Through the little cracks of grey, it seems
Gold elixir fading away
Into the grey clouds, we know today
Pouring with pins and needles
That just pins you and kneads you
Intoa paste that washes away

Hate it more when you can debate.

People Somehow Relate Or Say My Words Better Than I Eye
I know this is not a fantasy or fable
Something I have over a prolonged time
Constructed or invented
Deep down in my own imagination
It just all now makes perfect sense
Looking reading back
Treading over tired old ground
Seeing how I quite obviously
Can or do not relate to others
Being that as strange as I may find it

Toothache
Violate everything.
Upset all order.
re-stack the cards,
deal me to a world
where my id rules,
rid me of what cares
about right, wrong
or you.
Or it's gonna kill me.
I'm Ahab.
Says Stub,
"he's got what some folks ashore call *
a conscience; it's a kind of Tic-Dolly-row
they say--worse nor a toothache."
Way worse than a toothache.
Covers tangled,
pillows scrunched,

Just Relate With Me
Just relate with me
Instead of judging Me
Instead of criticism
Instead of isolation
Why not get closer
And see me better
You can't be far
To know who I am
I know I have been
That person you need to know
Yes that mind your need
That words closer to your answer
Despite who am not
Yes cos

Someone To Relate
To pen a piece of history,
a memory left behind
a painted piece of memory
that can not fade with time.
It is rare to have such a gift,
to share with strangers near and far
and no matter race or distance
they get just who you are.
I write because I love it,
a passionate poetic feast
words of hope and desperation
that can cut

I Can Relate To Daniel In the Lions Den
I can relate to Daniel and the lion’s den. That’s the name my mom named me when I was born with sin. My mom named me that name in the Bible. She saw that it came from God’s word which is reliable. Daniel is very humble. He reminds me of me even when

Smile
A smile needs no words
It is sweeter than any compliment
A smile needs no sound
It is louder than any extolment
A smile is irresistible
It evokes curiousness
A smile in infectious
It induces smiles on long faces
A smile can hide something
It blossoms over what aches in our hearts
A smile cannot be hidden
It signals every emotion in us
A smile is priceless

Can You Relate To the Late Fifties- -
whatever happened to Juicy Fruit gum™
He doesn’t come around here anymore;
And where is the Beaver, cause Jerry Mathers
Does matter;
And what’s a Royal Crown soda;
As it behooves us to be older;
Stop lacing our arteries with fat and sugar cubes;
And who said my Nerf™ gun is bullet proof;
The is what I must become;
Rebirth, return to the time

Crimson Gallery
i once knew a girl. she liked to colour with red
she didn’t need a canvas or paper,
she would colour herself instead,
she hid her creations for a while
because she was afraid of how people would react
but she showed me her gallery,
creations of white and crimson
i rolled up my sleeve
and showed her

Head Or the Heart
"For each of us there are different meanings,
When I say the word, ”feeling”
Is your first thought,
From the head or heart
About a pain or ache,
Or emotions to separate
Happiness,
Or sadness
From the thrill of an event,
Or bubbled tears of lament
To have lost or won,
Something or someone
Felt inside,
Loss or pride
How it emotes,
Screams or chokes
Our voice from the air,
It’s
