My Crazy Life

I sometimes sit and wonder why my life is so crazy
And other times I try not to let it even phase me
But its hard to forget about it when things happen in my life that only god can 
change
He can only change the things in my life that have me feeling so strange
Feeling like I need her just to ease my pain
Dang! I lost my train of thought see things will never be the same
My crazy life
This messed up world.
Confusion, depression
I just need her , the girl
I need her to hide me from all the pain that wants me
The pain that feeds on my flesh and tare my insides apart
The pain that took the hope I had in my heart
One life to live but no reason to go on
Six feet under the ground is where I think I belong
Dead. 
Gone to a better place
Had  to leave this world with her in my face
The girl
Now there is no more of me, I got away
My crazy life is history

Tears of Passion

We all cry the same tears,
tears of fright,
tears of sadness, 
tears of loss,
tears of fustration, 
tears of disappointment,
tears of loneliness.
Lands are flooded with our tears.
We need one another's:
Kindness, cooperation, trust and respect to survive.

The Hood In Me

The hood in me is too much to see
but its all a matter of reality.
You either get down or lay down, or just be a nobody,
Yeah that's how the hood seems to be.
The hood ain't got love its all smiles and cries,
the hood will give up on you and let  you die without saying goodbye.
The hood in me wont let me be free.
Instead it gets me locked up in a place far away.
Now I'm sitting here looking stupid cause i ain't in the hood today.
Thinking about when I'm gone go home to smoke my next  blunt, or
Prayin and hopin that I can get a chance to run,
back to the hood just one more time,
to tell all my hood fam' that  I love em' and goodbye!

Closer Than Close

We must talk,
until there are no more words.
We must explain,
until not everything is understood.
We must be honest,
until nothing is hiden.
We must listen,
until everything has been said.
We must question, 
so that we know why.
We must be fair,
so that everyone's basic needs are met.
If there is no communication,
there will be no bond.
If there is no bond,
there will be no friendship.
I BELIEVE IN LOVE!!!!!
