Kill Me Now

tears of blood run down my face
as thorns rip through my skin
this underworld realm i tear into
the hollow walls sheet thin

i'm a bestial nature scout
black lace im shielded in
down for this coffin ride adventure
sign the blank as satan for next of kin

my hands claw in putrid dirt for the devil
mouth parched in thirst for him
i rip up the roots of hell
and drink their blood to feel his grin

kill me now i'm ready
i wait at the gates of the darkness inn
ready to be eaten from the inside out
to dance with the demons in sin

My Race

i dont barely get by; i maintain and survive
runnin through this recession with powerful stride
these feet that i use hardly cover the bills
but in the long run my dreams theyll fulfill
wont let my feet drag from memories or sorrows
they just keep runin faster to reach for tomorrow
no way am i allowin this past
determine my fate or push me in last
every barricade blockin 4 me 2 lose
i kick down like i got the power of zeus
every hurdle that rises in hope that i duck
i leap over with dreams never again gettin stuck
every runner i pass sellin quicker shortcuts
is only tryna sidetrack to a hustlin rut
this race ima win
thru my skillz free of sin
those who watch in good faith that know my life story
keep cheering on the sidelines, till i finish this race, my glory ;)

Immortal Flower

embedded in the belly of the beast
sowed in petrified devastation
left to thrive in brambles of genocide
to flourish in storms of mayhem
Star of Bethlehem in this slum
my bulb derived from holocaust ruination
my stem concealing a thousand words of hope
i prosper against odds of anguishin'
nutriment is tainted waters
so ill feed off my revelations
monsoons attempt to drown me out
only washing away my pain and tribulations
no break of dawn in this jungle
so i adapt to the darkness of realization
beat down by bitterness of weeping rain
my delicate branches will strengthen
i will not mummify like the others
sacrificed in damnation
wilted petals never fully bloomed
lacking their full maturation

New Beginning

kidnapped into hell, i fought to come back
tied up by pain tenfold and enveloped by wrath
stumbling blindly through darkness
flesh putrid from curdled memories i pass
voiceless echoes of terrors and dreams
my longing for life touched every bittersweet gash

fixated on the battles I lost
my expired heart fed snakes in the grass
became the walking dead
bad bitch punisher to whoever stepped in my path
manifested to a slayer
filled with corrosion i had to find myself fast

tainted memories I had to wipe away
twisting the rag to drain them fast
No longer clinging on to bloody wars
silent screams
Broken bones
hollow nights of my hollow past

My Introduction

I've been writing this story
Erasing the past
Trying to learn from mistakes
Stop scribbling in wrath
As the hero of struggles
This protagonist emerged
But as the plot got thicker
An antagonist converged
With a heavy hand
With a heavy heart
Scraping this pen on the pad
Has got me off to a heavy start
Not sure how to make a proper introduction
Since my tale began with immoral destruction
As I tread through this battle delusive in truth
This ink bleeds out my souls reconstruction
I was the narrator of anger
the author of truth
the victim of circumstance
the accused and the brute

Enigma Of Love

Voices shouting once again, walls shaking, doors breaking
These are fairytales gone bad like the brothers grimm
Screaming for help ‘HE'S GONNA KILL ME'
next day 'WE GO THRU SHIT, BUT I GOT LOVE4HIM'
When did the hand of your lover
Hatch into paws of a beast
When did sweet kisses along your sides
Turn into broken ribs and blackened eyes
When did the redness from roses
Turn into bloody lips and broken noses
When did you turn from a hopeful bride
To a woman who cowers behind beaten down pride
When did whispering sweet nothings and pillow talk
Turn into dark nights of misery and mock
For all his cold words my dear, to keep you here
Are nothing but lies, to keep you hurting inside
When did the man who once posed as protector
choke and strike you with wrath of Hannibal hectar
All of the violence he craves to taste
Is much to bitter to let your life go to waste

Ex Lover

Only God can judge
Don't ever believe the other
Don't ever let your heart be broken
By the harsh words of your ex-lover
Don't dare shed your hard earned tears
For someone leaving you solitaire when you had no other
Don't ever doubt your potential
Just because he put you down as a hustler and single mother
Do what u must to maintain and survive
Your self worth will never change regardless of pride
Damaged with a child he discards you as baggage,
Remember one mans trash is another mans prize
Don't let his abandonment pull you down
He never deserved the royal love you so graciously crowned
Maybe you went a lil crazy, were you overzealous out of passion?
No honey, his wrongful actions is what caused your reaction
Stop punishing yourself, relapsing your hurt for so long
One day he'll wake up and realize your gone
Stop questioning yourself....of what you did wrong
Let that girl he dissed you for sing that same song
