It doesn't break in noisily
It slips quietly like the morning breeze
Not to loot gold nor money
But love, health and youth.
Unlike a thief you can fight or see
Time robs you unnoticed
Until you look back
And realize what's gone
It moves unseen, with hands so sly
Turning our today to a faint goodbye
And only when memory aches and grieves
We know what time, the thief, retrieves.

you left me behind
when you ascended into the clouds
you weren't there
when they held me down and broke my wings
because they were scared of my potential
and perhaps they succeeded
in breaking my spirit
because i tremble when the wind blows
and see your face only in my dreams
i am afraid
for you to see this creature i have become
this wild thing
that shies from human touch
for how could you still know me
when i can't recognize myself?

Just one French fry the princess begged the photographer
And a tiny bit of ketchup and maybe a small hamburger.
Should I just go to McDonald’s for you? He asked in a mean way.
She nodded her head. He had just made her day!

sage thoughts
deep within
stirring up dendrites
many personalities
so why does my mind keep facets from myself?
how can there be parts of me I do not recognize?

Unrecognized
I fear mirrors,
And It’s reflection.
I trained my eyes to not see.
I have not looked towards its truth in years,
Nor allowed others to show me.
The image it would show,
Is not the future I planned to be.
A glimpse one time,
As I passed by.
Sunk my soul
That image…not I.
How, from a boy
Has this become
The wasted life
Which stares back in shame
Knowing it cannot be undone.
Unrecognized am I.

Why can't I have what you have
me being equal isn't enough
If i put in the same amount of work that you do
then why do you get more stuff
Ive worked so hard for this moment
Only to be deprieved of my rights
You've done nothing to deserve it
but ive worked for all of my stripes
mostly all my life

He walks in the court like he is one of a kind,
Is he someone different of a human mankind?
He is smart, cozy but a little bit naughty.
He is newly stud guy who seem to be so catchy.
He got those things that every girl wants,
They can’t just see it because he’s playing too nuts.
If he only knew that he has that crazy good thing,
Girls and he will be all so ready to sing.
I remember how he plays piano,
He sang sweetly in microphone solo.
I remember how he let that ball game ended.
He made the one last go shot tremendously bended.
He is never uncool in all sorts of situation,
He hangs up with gals and guys with same range of action.
That guy has no idea how much he has in his life,
That so called X Factor and guts is so close to his great life

Laying silent, blinds down & drapes drawn
No glimpse of shadows or light.
Many similar nights pondering changes
Deliberating life’s strife & fright.
Wide-awake not yet drifted to sleep
An unidentified image appears.
No human traits, no expression, no face
Not one sound this image whispers.
A dark image draped in a hooded robe
Standing so tall, so vivid, and so bold.
Surrounded by a celestial glow
A refreshing calmness began to unfold.
Visions projected lamenting good tidings
My pain, suffering & fear lifting away.
This image now fading, so was my doubt
Delivered to renewed strength, I pray.
Bestowed with relentless courage to conquer
All that was recently thrust in my path.
That unrecognized angel paved my future
Alleviating all anger from life’s wrath.
