Who Am I

Who am I if am not me,? Judged by my skin. 
Am from a hot place with no Amity. 
Found myself in a cage of wild animals,
Where am from, folks are taken by hunger,
Questioning why is it to hard for me to breath?
Being they think am, gave them wealth. 

Who am I if am not that person know by crime? 
At the streets am free, 
In my mind am a slave, 
Who'll brake this chains,
Lost dignity to cruelty.
Am in jungle, permitted to be a monkey,
Being a lion not fit for my kind.

Who am I,  if am not that loyal to be cruel friend? 
I am not a Gorilla as they label, 
Am bruesed and not given medicine.
If am a British animal,
Why am I weak among ants? 
Developed hate, lost love over night.
Who am I with so much shame in my eyes.

That Feeling

I know her somewhere.
I've met her in Jupiter.
She sweats in the icy winds, 
She kills with a look, 
She buries with a touch.
I felt alive around her
am six feet when she's distant.
How to run if she pulls with magnetic eyes.
Shines better than stars.
The sun is weaker her smile. 
A steal melts when she's closer,
I've fallen for a strange,
keeps pulling like gravity.

I Saw You

Before I looked I stared at you, 
Your were horrible not adorable,
You brought trauma to my eyes as you were deplorable,
Behaving like a dread, 
Saw the words you wrote on the paper,
I throwed it in a bin, 
Don't ask, why?
you're the waste garbage in the truck, 
face wack, 
Lips crack, 
Hair a mess,
Like you had a smack, 
Go find some crutch,
Visit fishes for your smell, 
Even viruses are still non-living in your living cells,
That what I saw...

Standing In the Rain

The rain pouring, am alone outside.
Holding the pole, no one wants to ride. 
None can comprehend, fast misunderstood.
Stand, stare and be mean,
It sends electric and ice, what a match.
The recipe is disaster.

The rain fills the cup,  am alone to to cry. 
No one cares to joke and laugh,
Who to blame if not the black cloud?
Standing alone, 
This is my kingdom, bring back the throne. 
Don't trust the dust, let the rain pour.

The rain falling hard, can only taste the tears. 
Crushed by what used to feed me in sunny days, 
Being trashed by what made me,
All dust is gone, trapped by the mud.
You can't see, your blinded by the fog. 

The rain keeps me wet and cold.
Where to knock if all doors  are rocks?
Lighting better than their venom,
Let it cleanse their living germs, 
Charish the rain,
Face the pain,
Reign the rain.

Lost

Death the unknown,
Silence the murder undeneath our masks,
Hope on Earth never reflects,
Our life a movie,
We take 5 when we sleep
But  with no "cut".
Contract ends, no negotiations.
Wrong directions lead to painfully destinations
 Love our weakness,
To much becomes none, 
Less is more and were blinded to it.
Seek love when in our hearts,
Durk hate when in our brains,
Yes we can swim, yet drown without water,
Suffocate with oxygen.
Who would believe when we cry with no tear.
Who would believe when we scream with no sound.
Our true colors are revealed in the dark.
We're all dead inside, 'cause we sip on painkillers to survive.
See the sun everyday, but never shined on the windows.
Our bodies in shape, 
Our hearts broken and chained,
We're heartless,
We lost some in the streets.

Frienship

Complicated but still robust.
Primo the best attitude.
Not manifested by time, 
stay put 'til senectitude.
Moments not forgotten, has graditude.

Keeps moving forward.
Different goals, dreams hoard.
Swallows pride, shirk back stabbing crowd.
Commitment unsaid, probity the ring. 
Trip, flop, drip, drop be pulled.
Feel worthless, serve like a King. 
Wont let you sink
drown deep down the sea.
Friendship not a shaking ship.
