Deprived

Pacing, searching, panicking;
can't find what I'm missing.
I'm about to lose it.
Been in this rat race
for way too long.
Don't know which way to go.
Spinning in squares, triangles, figure eights,
anything that doesn't makes sense.
Now I'm sick gonna throw up,
no remedy for me.
Just teasers of happiness
that are not for me.
A bystander observer
not allowed to have it for myself.

Let You Win

Finally, throwing in the towel.
Hanging up my gloves.
I'm tired today.
Grab my bags, head out the door.
A useless dense game,
I can't no longer play.
I have better things to do
or so I like to believe,
just to keep me sane.
But the doors are locked,
can't leave the voices cheering
for one more round.
I sigh, put my stuff down
and prepare to play this pointless
game all over again.

Weary

Take your sword the battle is beginning.
Oh you're not prepared?
Too bad you gotta go anyway.
Make sure you succeed,
because if not the wounds will surely kill you.
Doesn't matter if you don't know where you're going;
no one else knows either,
despite what they tell you.
We're all lost wondering til our deaths.
Why do we breed?
For superficial reasons?
Because society tells us so?
We certainly don't need more.
Your sword's damaged;
oh well, you only get one.
Make the best of it,
until you can't take anymore.
But no one will listen,
your wasting valuable breath.
Save it for the war up ahead

Waiting Room

Got my ticket ready to go,
but my bus just got delayed.
So I put up with the randomness to stupidity.
Check the time it should be here;
any moment I know it.
Day after day
losing patience.
The room is getting empty
and I'm still here.
Nervous, did I miss it?
Ask the worker,
nope it hasn't come in yet.
Losing hope.
Looking for something to arrive.

Impression

I look around and all I see
is greedy people chasing me
so selfish, uncaring.
How could we love another species,
if we can't love one another first?
We want things now,
but forget the process.
Patience isn't always the enemy.
I try to remember things happen for a reason;
but its tough when you're lying in feces.
Everybody's in a rush,
think they're going somewhere;
all their simply doing is going around in circles.
Paper has now become our everything,
can't live without it.
Wonder what the future holds
if we keep going.

Standby

Just a convenience here when you need.

I'll put out the fire, when it's get out of control.

I'll calm the storm, so that it won't wake you.

I'll be your pawn while you wait for your Queen.

oh don't worry about me,

I'll keep quiet, let you get it out of your system

Until you all realize I'm trying to save you from yourselves.

Underhanded

Itching for perfection
in a world that can't define what it means.
Searching for stability
in an unstable world.
The game is set up
for you to lose, long before you started playing.
But at least your being entertained,
while you stand there
being robbed.
It's useless to keep anything,
you can't take it with you.
you're left here to die.
Continue to smile while everyone
feeds you lies.

Problem

I've tried to solve this problem
over and over again.
But just when I think I've figured it out;
the solution is never the one I got.
So back to my pen and paper.
Try to get it all over again;
but it only gets me frustrated.
Still I sit and try to find the answer.
It's right in my face
I know it is, it has to be.
The universe wouldn't give me a problem I couldn't solve.
Time goes by, the clock has ticked.
Hopefully soon my hour is up.
I can't take this anymore.
I wanna scream, cry but I know
no one will help me.
I'm filled in a busy room
with people who has tortured my soul.
I wanna hurt them, have them bleed;
feel the pain like I've felt over the years.
But something holds my hand.
I'm thankful but I don't know what else to do.
So I'll sit, try to solve the problem;
that's in front of me.
The answer is staring at my face
If only I could see it so I can go home.

Distraction

Gave everything I have to change.
Have the pieces on the board,
but the opponent always win.
When will I learn.
The game is fixed.
I'm not meant to win just get by.
After several decades of trying,
I'm packing up my pieces and moving on.
Where and when I don't know.
The universe likes to set these games up
and watch the millions fail.
Well not me;
I'll go find a rock to crawl under,
until I stop breathing.

Shard

Packing up
with nowhere to go.
Feeling out of control.
Realizing everyone around me
had me as their piece on a board.
Now that I know
what do I do with that?
Feeling in control,
still with no place to go.
Can't move, I'm stuck to the floor.
