The Inner Person

Saw you standing there
A new kid, from who knows where
Judged you by your looks and words
And immediately thought you as weird as nerds

Saw you sitting there
Alone and sad,
Eating your lunch, and at everyone you were mad
I wondered why, 
Why am I out casting someone whose story I do not know 
Why did I make fun of you, and treat you as a foe
No even knows who you are
And from everyone, you are so far

I walk over and you look away
I'm sorry I started to say
But you stopped me and said it's okay
We talked and I learned
That the inner you had for so long yearned
The company of a friend
Who will listen and be there for you till the end

You had cancer and time was coming to an end
So you wanted someone that you can spend
The last few joyous weeks of your life
That will no longer be filled with strife

I'm glad we got to meet
Even if you don't roam the earth anymore with your two feet
You fly in the sky, in the heaven
And I can hear you talk, when I listen

The deep and inner person
That from everyone is usually hidden
Needs someone, a friend, who will help him or her smile
And I know, learning the inner person of each person, 
Will always be worthwhile.

Reverse Look In Life


This is my true feeling.

I am pessimistic and I hate you.
You do know I’m lying when I say
I love you,

This world has too much pain and sorrow
No one should ever say
I am happy,

Hate is the only thing for me
People are stupid when they say
Love is the best thing in someone's life
What is love?

There is hope in this world
Only the lost can say that
I refuse to believe that
We do have hope 
Do we have hope?
No.
Has this world become darkness?
Yes.

Am I an optimist?

Times Change

I was a boy.
When I was a boy
I loved every toy
smiled and laughed all day
I did nothing but sleep and play
I loved my friends and my family
Did everything so crazily
I was a cheerful fellow
and had cool friends who liked to play the piano

And then I grew up
And times changed

I am a teenager.
Being older is not so much fun
Life is like a race and I have to run
Study all day
No time for sleep or play
Stress replaced apathy
I don't want to do anything badly
Friends have changed
Preferences all rearranged
But, I push on forward
And moving toward
A better future and better days

I will grow older
And times will have changed.

I will be an adult.
I will be smart, rich, and happy
With a loving wife and beautiful kids, kissing them all gladly 
I will thank my parents for pushing me along
And fixing me when I did wrong.

Time changes
And what happens depends my choices
I'm going to make the best
out of my life now
So later I can rest.

Lies

You tell me you love me
You tell me you do
You tell me you love me 
You say its true

You gave me hope
You gave me light
You gave me a ladder that I could climb

But now I’m falling down
Spiraling and plummeting so fast
Lost in a hole of confusion oh so vast

You lied to me, made a fool of me
Are you happy? Is this what you planned?
To use me and play with my heart
Did you toy with me from the start?

So it was wrong to give you my trust
It was just a small simple crush
The stupid cupid hit me
But looks like he missed you

These lies are like flies
You swat one down and kill one
only to find more and more appearing

I wish your love wasn’t a lie
I wish your love was true
Please, Rescue.

The Sounds In Life

I sit in a playground
There are children playing
I close my eyes and I listen
I can hear
The tinkering of toys
The roar of boys
The laughter from girls
As each of them twirls
I love sounds the sounds in life

I sit in a restaurant
There are many people eating
I close my eyes and I listen
I can hear
Friends and families talking
And the waiters walking
I can hear forks, spoons and knifes being used
And babies laugh as they are amused
I can hear chewing and burping
And sipping and slurping
I love sounds the sounds in life

I come to a park
It is a beautiful day
I lay down, close my eyes, and listen
I can hear
The birds in the air fluttering and chirping
And the dogs are aware prancing and barking
The squirrels that run, up and down trees
And the constant buzzing of honey-comb bees
The gushes of wind that whip and whistle
And the waves of water that splutter and ripple
I love the sounds in life 

I sit at my desk in my house
My family is together
I close my eyes and I listen
I can hear
The rambling from the TV
And the laughs from my sister who is filled with glee
I hear the taps on the keyboard from my busy father
And the steams from the iron from my working mother
I love my family
I love the sounds in life

Too many times I take for granted
My ability to hear which I have never doubted
But then I realize some are not as fortunate
And don't have the ability as if it was taken by a bandit
I feel sad that they cannot they hear
And I quite often shed a tear
But there is nothing I can do

Except,
Making sure that everyday I am thankful
That I can hear everything I love,
The sounds in life
