Premium Membership - Part 2

Like when Texas passes a law of if you get an abortion, you’ll get jail time and fined. 
Like when a man can rape you, do no time, turn you in and collect a reward, if he is so inclined. 
Like when Coldplay uses a Metaphor like line
To entertain us and try to inspire us to pass some wretched time

I just wrote this today to prove that I exist
In a world, where people are passed by every day and just to be missed 
Welcome to part two of my rhymes with a little twist
Let’s go for some positivety now in a world that insist 

The ego likes words like you are pretty, handsome, thin and fit
To blind the mind of not being genuine and quick with witt
Though you were always enough and needed no ones approval 
For their on-going games of brutal with some jewels

If no one told you today you were always enough, deserving and loved
I think its time my soul asked for a world refund
I hate that so many people are fighting a constant battle of being comfortable in their own skin
But I completely understand especially when you have those who swear you are committing a MAN-MADE sin

Look I get your religion is sacred to you till kingdom come 
But everyone deserves to feel like they have a place in this world and living to a beat of their own drum
Like Billy Joel states 
I’d rather laugh with the sinners and cry with the saints

Sinners are definitely much more fun and know how to relate
For they were shunned from their, loved ones when they were just trying to be transparent and great 
Sinner is such a wide open term
Used deliriously by some with wretched germs

Some have never even committed a crime
Just self-inflicted wombs to pass by the time 
Some labeled as saints have committed some heinous crimes 
For which they never got caught to do any rightful time

I’m going off on a tangent but my point to this is
Sometimes those who try to bring you down 
Can’t even stand to look at the sight of themselves 
So, they have to try insult you in hopes that you rebel

So remember that you always shine bright
Like a star when the moon is out at night
I’m done now and putting this poem to rest
Let’s see if I get accepted and pass this premium test

Ciao!

A Pendulum Swings

A pendulum swings 
Right, left, right, left
A bomb flies out and there is no life left to detect

A pendulum swings 
Left, right, left, right 
A new born baby is being delivered tonight

A pendulum swings
Right, left, right, left
The troops march out to this bloodshed dressed 

A pendulum swings
Left, right, left, right 
The child picks up a toy gun as they start to fight 

A pendulum swings 
Right, left, right, left 
Shots fired as bullets penetrate the chest

A pendulum swings 
Left, right, left, right 
The child is drafted with a single invite 

A pendulum swings 
Right, left, right, left 
A body dropped, another soldier confessed 

A pendulum swings 
Left, right, left, right 
A body was found with the next daylight 

A pendulum swings 
Right, left, right, left
A soldier falls into a slumber depressed 

A pendulum swings 
Left, right, left, right 
A body returned with the next noon flight 

A pendulum swings
Right, left, right, left 
A soldier hung themselves with their war belt 

A pendulum stops 
Both lives are gone 
A battle they fought
But neither of them won
It wasn’t their war
But neither could outrun
Now they are just a memory 
While the snake takes another for fun

Soft Rain

Trigger warning, in remembrance to one ending their own life and losing their battle. 

When it softly rains 
I can't help but think, what gentle soul died today
How all their pain has been released, how it is now washed away
As they lay there in peace, I can't help my heart as it feels a heavy weigh 
Black and white image morphed together and all I can see is gray
You are gone but as long as I am alive your memory will always stay 

Rest easy gentle soul 
I hope we can do better as humans one day

Suicide and crisis hotline: 988
Please call if you or someone you know is having a hard time. 
You are not alone.

You

Look to the future 
You are not alone 

We are so fixated on looks and labels 
That we forget to feel with our soul and to remain our own 

Don’t forget to just live and love when you are thrown off your path 
Don’t settle for the lonliness, darkness & the unknown 

You matter, like with physics or chemistry 
When a substance has mass and takes up space by having volumn, like a stone 

Take up that space 
And let them know you are not going anywhere and that you deserve a place in this world as much as they do, to each their own throne

Remember, you are in control
But if you remain silent and complacent, it will never be shown 

Live your brightest 
Try not to deviate, stay stagnant or postpone 

So don’t give up on yourself 
Be patient, love thy self and try not to disown 

Much love,

Cotton Candy Skies

Cotton candy skies
Birds dancing as they fly 
With the mountains behind 
O what a sight to see with my very eyes

Art of Deceit

It’s interesting how others learn the art of taking advantage of others 
And those who are not aware
It will easily destroy 
Especially those who have not learned the patterns of that deceitful language 
They have only learned the ability to love 
The ability to give 
But if someone has learned the art of being deceitful
Please hold on 
Don’t let it consume you
Don’t allow it change you 
Just recognize it for what it is 
It’s not your fault 
It’s the situation 
You are not crazy 
You are not stupid 
You were just unaware 
You can’t be stupid at something you never learned
Because you yourself grew up in a way where you were shielded from that 
Protected even 
Some were not that lucky 
And some because they never knew real love 
molded into that
And now they can’t get themselves out 
Because it has become a part of who they are 
And whether they are conscious of it or not 
They are the only ones that can pull themselves out of it 
To unteach themselves 
Of what they were never protected from
But you cannot be caught in the crossfires 
Because if you do that to yourself 
You may not be strong enough to pull yourself out 
It takes discipline 
It takes emotional training 
Its something that is learned through time 
Its not for the weak 
Sometimes all you have to do is just let go 
Know that you cannot fix or change everyone 
Don’t ever attach yourself to the outcome that you can’t control
Disappointment can consume you 
For the rest of your life 
If you allow it to 
Just let go

Have You Ever Been In Love

Have you ever been in love? 
How to even answer that question
Those who have been in love look crazy to the ones who have not
Where you don't even know why you love the person your soul just won't stop thinking about
You try everything to get away from them, so you don't think about them
Because it's just too painful
Yet something appears and you can't help but to picture them 
It sounds like an obsession
And you ask yourself are you sick
Why does this person mean so much to me
Especially when I mean so little to them
Does it ever go away
I hope so  
I wish you could just detach yourself from what the soul wants
What it needs 
Sure you can move on with your life and start over but memories just exist and you can't stop it when a memory just passes by
But walking through that pain is the best way to get through it
Honoring it for what it is
Not suppressing and coping
Easier said than done
At times I think some are addicted to that pain
How do you know if you are in love
Is it ones looks 
Is it ones mind 
Is it ones belongings 
Is it ones title  
Is it ones talents 
Love has never been described accurately
Just descibed the best way that someone knew how to articulate and write
Many have spent lifetimes trying to explain love
Where others could just feel it in their souls
But that’s just it
Love is a undescrible phenomenon
It only has ever been able to be felt not explained
And if you dont know oneself you will never know
So I ask you
Is your soul awake 
Is your heart open 
Is your mind balanced enough to receive it when it shows 
Love is suppose to recongize love, so I thought 
But when you are hindered 
When you are guarded
When you are scared 
When you do not trust 
When you don't know what unconditional love feels like 
You will never be able to recognize love for what it is 
And before you know it, if you aren't careful
It will just vanish 
Disappear 
Never to be seen again 
Sure you will find a version of what you felt, from someone else 
But will that version last
So many seperations, from those who thought they knew love 
But they didn't even know themselves, so how could they know love
It will never quite feel the same 
And ultimately you will be alone
Sometimes you will get a second chance 
And sometimes you only get one
So, I ask you have you ever been in love?

Labels

Humans were never made to be labeled, just to be loved properly. 

So if you catch yourself judging or ridiculing either out loud or silently. 

That is because your ego is well intact and you think you are better than he or she. 

Forgetting, we have all been forged with the same blood, bones, tissues & debris.

We all are born and die with the same breath of life. 

We are all guided by whatever circumstance we were landed with by divine. 

Labels and boxes, hinders us and dissipates our minds. 

But it shows who can be easily influenced or manipulated through time. 

I dare you to think outside the box with the invisible lines. 

Use the universe as a guide and start looking at the beauty, numbers and signs. 

Look within, heal yourself and look between the metaphors, between words and rhymes.

Puzzle Piece

Whatever circumstance begins. 
It comes with a puzzle piece within. 

A corner piece, a middle piece and an end piece, the end. 
Many hours spent and once finished, it feels like you have transcend.

Once finished, some frame it, others share, even sell it. 
But the knowledge feels sacred for another student to begin. 
If recorded truthfully and rightfully, it can encourage another to create their own piece within. 

Remember, there is no fitting a piece where it does not belong. 
For puzzles are delicate and if you force that piece, the image may forever be destroyed & the puzzle pieces will not longer be strong.

I am dying soon
I don’t know when and I don’t know how but I am dying soon and will be away

That feeling when you know you might not get to see another tomorrow 
So you appreciate everything you can see, smell or touch today 

So you can remember all that was
So you dont forget the day 

If I return, will I have deja vu
Or will I forget my entire existence and will it be put on display 

Will I be laid to rest in peace 
Or will they dig me up like my ancestors and say hooray

I am dying soon 
I hope when I go it will be at some ease  

Will it be unexpected 
Like getting diagnosed with an incurable disease 

Or will someone try to take my life 
With something I did not foresee 

Whatever the case may be 
Hopefully I found all the missing keys 

If I get to start over 
Maybe it won’t be with all the abuse and extremes 

Maybe I will get to just live 
And feel the beautiful day and everlasting breeze
