Sitting On a Toilet

Unable to relax

Unable to release

Crushing capitalism enveloping me

Feeling tight

If I release will they come after me?

Fear

You know, mon amie
She can be vicious 
In her gentle attack
And right now, see
She is feverish
I don’t know
Where to 
Hide!

teeth waiting to suck your blood

My Soul

Now I lay me
Down to sleep
I pray the devil
My soul don't keep
If I wake
Before I die
Please devil please
Let me stay alive

Fear

To fear is human
Even the bravest and strongest man
On earth has a greatest fear.
It's only God who'll vanish fear forever.

Lost Love

When I think about the love I lost.

I tried to save it at any cost.

It just wasn't enuff.

So now I'm stuck in this rutt.
