What Matters

We can find inspiration in respiration
That is been alive
We must embrace the gift of life
With our widest smile
Everybody wants the best
and getting what you give 
seems to be the routine
Lakes can't flow so they reach deep below the sea level
Do not slumber even when the night gets too dark
Sleep could flip you into a dream or nightmare
Essentially giving strength to your muscle 
Providing a healthy mind to find visions leading to contemplations
In aspiration to answer the questions we ask ourselves
Talk is cheap a metaphor of dreaming
This imaginary creation comes with a task
In reality, Destiny prevails in a mask
We yearn to find the image it holds
As the story unfolds
Living in this cold world
We can't go on without clothes
Life is the best invitation ever
But let yours count
It ain't about the money, power or fame
It is all about love
Love for yourself and others
There is less time to live
So the least you can do is to love through every moment
I know hate has the quantity
but the quality of love is unmatched
The world may be dark but if we come together with our lighters up
We will be stars on earth.

Little One

Little one
They believe your existence will only stop their pathetic life from
making it to cloud nine
Propelling them to force your resign
Destroying a fragile God's design
Rating you as nothing more than a clot of blood
It is sad to know that there is freedom to kill it
I mean eliminate a man when helpless being a foetus
Spilling them out of the hole as some bloody trash
Murdered before their time
their death sour than lime
If life was money 
It could not earn a dime


Little one
They believe you are just a mistake in the womb
Which gives them terror like a fibroid
Without feelings like an android
They erase the immature specie quickly because it is too stupid to answer their call
When preparations could only fall through
Like a bird in a cage
never to fly again but to die in pain
It is always scary when ones fate is to be decided by men

Little one
I am sorry for your lost of the ultimate gift
Losing yours swiftly
I grieve too
I hope you would find peace
Those thieves took away your life  even though they did not want it
Baby, I pray that tears and fears would be far from your eyes and heart respectively
May your deserted soul be consoled by your maker
He knows better
It will be safer there
Feel at home away from this puzzled world which is
screaming for fixing from the only God


Little one
Happy is what you will be 
when you get to know you 
have made a big one
It is all a plan conceived by the only God who can tell the sun you are not hot.

Sometimes

Sometimes we need the love
Sometimes we feel the hate
But all the time we need something we do not have 
Life falls in halves
Many path with many patterns
We need to stroll
Hearts know no rest
for we live in a rush
Death is the pest
We are a field for the feast
Our drive is to find peace
We blew up the beast in the end
So we can see the evil is airborne

Sometimes we need to take time
To reach out our hands
For destiny is a bird
Just stick to your guns
Kill a few dreams in the process
Water-spilled but we thirst
It is worth it in the end
Life is a unique field
Full of different people
Everytime it will look complex
Let us try to understand
For we only live sometimes

When It Comes Around

My thought reek of bloopers
All I see is blue birds
Ever since you left me
Maybe I deserve it
A southpaw has to be used to this

Sleeping in the mud
Reminiscing the dirty games I played
Staring at the dice
you flipped on me
I hate how the tables turned
Used to mishandle the lighter
look at how I got burned

Flames of anger
puff out of the words I breathe
I was stupid for thinking winners never lose
I've learnt the best lesson in the worst way
I know my stars were cursed
for how I kept many in the dark

Cloud of lies
Crazy how I rained promises on them
Only to let ignorant fairies drown in disappointment
Spare me the regrets
I deserve this stunt
The wrongs I did hid in my shadow
The future looks uncertain
Still feeling reluctant to change
from those ways

Honestly
Breezes from my past don't feel good
The maybes will probably fade
If I start being true to myself
and the few in my world
I pray the earth helps me now
Or it will be forced to hold me down in the end

Good To Know

Welcome to the world of the breathing
Forgive my naked words
You will be dead before long
Just live now for the everlast
You're not the first 
Save the pity for earth
This mama is swallowing babies
She didn't abort
I might be going overboard
Stay true to your beliefs for 
The judge cares about
Why you did and didn't do what
We are all dead to be alive
For life is the beauty of being scared of losing what you don't really like
But loving to hold on to thorns 
Just to admire roses
