Untitled

your name still in the streets 
and maybe always going to be
keep your head up 
and continue praying for me
always blood
nothing can change that 
and always love
staying strong keeps that
learning from where we've been 
changing where we go
making God awful mistakes
teaching others what we know
wanting to be
the next thing in history
beating tribulations, leaving places
with holding the misery

This Is Now

this is now 
and bitch was then
simply because 
you're better than other men
not an apology
for i am what i am
take me as is
or don't stand a chance
i like you for who you are
not because i think you're hot
im falling for what's inside
not because im on the spot
i'm grown now 
so the world's different to me
until i met you
my eyes were closed, i couldn't see
our relations are good
but relationship is what i feel
i refuse to pretend 
so what i feel is for real
together always 
is what i've been told before
did nothing but close my mind
and made my heart so cold
i learned life has new beginnings 
so i opened up and let  you in
and im living
so this is now and that was then

Time

mad as hell
i stare into your eyes 
hoping one day
you will acknowledge this life
too many sufferings 
for me to live in this lie
in the real world 
we're all going to die 
looking towards the truth
reliving in my mind
all the past
scared of the future inside
creating all of now 
is the spirit in the sky
believe him or not
chills up and down your spine

Life

beautiful skies 
eluminate my eyes
sun beaming down 
on my back and thighs
as i write this poem
i think to myself
letting every word flow
i feel locked in a cell
a cell so small
so enriched with enclosure
happiness is an issue 
im looking for a motive
i see the grass
green but not perfect
the same as my life
my mistakes are my potions
i picture new beginnings
i dream things get better
living is an obstacle
people try to be settled
pretending everythings okay
hoping things will change
racing to be the best
tripping up over our ways

Mom

i give you my tears 
talking to you when possible
you're the one always there
the definition of love
holding me in your arms
through thick and thin
taught me to hang in there 
and that winners never quit
believing in God
you've become so strong
a living example 
of whats right and whats wrong
more to me
than you'd ever know
gotten me through 
the sticks and stones
filled with care
everlasting love
awake as an owl
peaceful like a dove
bestowing you love
sparing so much
sorry for ones
who long for that touch
out of your way 
beyond our reach
so much to learn 
so much you teach
never giving up
yet always letting go
wants to say yes
butt able to say no
working hard 
for the roof over our heads 
food on the table 
sheets on our beds
enormous milestones 
in my life
with me through all
shining your light 
all the mountains
you've accomplished to move
its time i say
thank you

Never Have I Fallen

your lips speak soft sweetness
your touch a cool caress
i'm lost in your magic
my heart beats within your chest
i think of you each morning 
and dream of you every night
i think of your arms around me
and can't express my delight 
never have i fallen
but am quickly on my way
you hold a heart in your hands...
that never before...
has been given away...

Same

some call me a lier
some call me a cheater
but really inside
im a talented dreamer
the most important things in life
are the ones we take for granted
until your life is on the line
i think its the way God has planned it
to open up your eyes 
make you realize 
life is money 
but whats money without life
all i need 
is the air i breathe
and my friends an d family
to believe in me
cause we're the same blood 
we cry the same tears 
have the same fears
and pass the same years
we see the same stars
and know the same sky
we pass the same time 
we all live and die

Black

when you look across the ocean
its the endlessness you see
black is the emptiness
you might find in me
black is the tears you find
when no one else is around
its the blank spot in your mind
makes you fall to the ground
its little children playing 
but then falling
its a mother looking for her child
calling and calling
black is when you dont know where to go
its forgetting many things 
and loosing all hope
its the deep dark hole 
that never ends
the beautiful sunny day
that never begins
black is the sky
when i lay down at night
its the color i see 
when i close my eyes

Love Or Lust

love can't be helped 
it's either you love someone or not
your mind can't tell your heart what to do
your heart can't control your mind
your heart and mind can't control your body
your body can't control itself
you sometimes ask yourself why?
then you wonder why you ask yourself why
love is so strong, but can you separate love from truth
can you separate love from fiction
can you separate love from hatred 
can you separate love from lust
does lust take over your mind, soul and body
or can your mind take over lust
do you have your heart headed in the right direction
or does your mind take control of your every move or thought
or is it the other way around
is your mind headed the right direction
and does your heart take control of your mind and soul and every decision you make
what is love
does truth take over all your lies passed through your history
and does truth take over the future
or is it all a lie
do you know what kind of world you're living in
do you  know right from wrong
can you separate love from lust

Truth

your lies actually tell me truth
your beginnings are your roots
the things you start, will be ended by others
i love you, like i love my brother
the things you do now are what you mess up
i wish you'd understand enough is enough 
you dolt realize you're hurting yourself
everything inside you:your sense, emotions and health
the things you do aren't helping you
even your "friends" will look back on you as a fool
the way you're living isn't very smart 
but no matter what, you'll always have my faith and heart
its hard to hear and believe the truth
but rim only telling you this cause rim trying to help you 
you cant solve everything with talk and fists
i make myself a hypricrit, telling you all this
