Look around this mess of apathetic memories deteriorating

Beneath it all a treasure trove of untold pleasures and tragedies

Working against me—all of my hopes and dreams

Clouding what I see. Escaping reality

Working against me—all of my hopes and…

A new day dawns on your face, burning a hole

To escape fate and this way replace your soul

Falling down in flame. Only you to blame

No they never learn how to keep up with it 

Or when to…

Waiting for any sign to face it in my mind

“Open wide,” they told me. Just embrace it

And you’ll see the answer

In the night I wasted my thoughts on ocean air

I gave my heart without a care 

…

My oh my. In the starlight

Perfect murder. No need to cry—see

I know why. Listen closely 

To the poison 21st century:

I’m only giving what my maker would (They say)

I only want us all to be equal (They…

Get out of here

I’m through with all the hate that you hold dear

So long ago

I refused to drink your false education

And still you don’t remember 

The way we all used to be together

Until you claimed…

You did this

Your hideous tears have nothing to say

For scores of young minds you promise to flay

Beat me down into a pulp then look the other way

Is that your equity? (Liar. Hipocrite. Traitor.)

Now it’s my…

Behind cold lips I hide a kiss

Despite my lies I can’t have this

Heart torn to shreds upon a cliff

Avert my eyes from the big if

You don’t know why I disappear

A voice inside keeps calling here

…

Turn around. Can you listen?

In your mind am I human?

(Wearing good intentions like a mask, you fail to see. 

Everything you force on me is cloaked in fear. 

The moment you turned your back on me was the…

I woke up in a tower 

Far away from the eyes of another

I saw the abyss from on high 

Full of tears of a whore and a liar

Dark circles, you remind me of the boy I was

Frail…

All this time lost in body and mind

What’s not there makes the wound divine

I’m fed up with watching the sheep go by

And somewhere I find the answer bleeding dry

So will you be the one to take…

Now look what you’ve done 

Sold your soul for blood 

Gone are the days when the pools of your eyes 

Withheld judgement and spoke to mine 

Hatred is your pride 

Still waiting for the ashes to fall 

Can you see…
