Ready To Die

i feel my time here is at end
as i feel the hand of time on my
sholder i have stared into deaths
eyes and my god i dont see me
for i dont believe i am part of this future
as each day i feel the effects as this
bone grow weak benief me
i dont believe this body gonna last
long as it has began to break down
inside out am slowly dying but remain
strong with a smile to confort my
peers can no other man walk this jorney
with me but me and as i being to feel
weak and exhausted guide me oh lord
let my smile forever remain
so when that guy in the black hooded coat
call my number tell him where to find me
for i am ready to come home

Loves Downfall

I wish i could hold you
and make the pain go away
i wish i could tell you
the sun will rise tomorrow
and you'll still be here in my arms
staring out the window lost in time
all because you're on my mind
i love to hold on and be strong for us
but my faith is slowly sipping away
it seem i lied to my self a bit to much
to remember the truth
so as i stare you in the eyes know
i meant all what i said
but as time goes by so do we and i believe
you will move on
as this i guess is it for us
but don't cry cause your memory i will
always appreciate for the good
and the bad when we smile and we cried
so wipe your tears and say goodbye

Intoxicated (Life Of An Alcoholic)

A tear runs down my face
as i stare down this half empty
bottle man i remember back then
so young and pure
where did this days go
i miss the old me but so much
been accomplished can i give it all up
i take a sip as the liquor being to hit
oh man i feel good stress free
i want this feeling to stay so i sip again
yea i sit back and rock back and forth
as they all sleep am still here
haven't left yet as all come rushing back
so i take a bigger sip
and wishes it goes away
heard news about a former class mate died
damn more stress so i
grab the bottle a little harder
as i drink my tears away
missing my family so i drink more

Mirror On Wall

mirror on wall
what stories you tell
a lie or a tale
of my only friend
you show me what i wanna see
a pigment of the future
a broken shell of the past
i look to you for answer
but you just look back
i cry to you for an answer
but tears just come out of you eye
i miss our conversation
little said but so much was told
we share the same pain
but you carry all the blame
maybe love isn't for us
maybe it was always meant to be
just us
no one to hear our cries
no one there to dry our eyes

When It All Said And Done

when its all said and done
and my tears dry up
and my heart begins to beat
as i rampage through the
pieces i will remember you
not for the bad but for the good
cause you keep me strong
when i feel down
you picked me up when
i couldn't move
you showed me light in the dark
so as i sprinkle sand on your grave
a warm smile of piece comes around
as i hold my tears back
missing you is so easy to do
as your always on my mind
i move on cause its
what you want me to do
some times i cry when am alone
all because i miss you

A Smile's Sacrifies

Chains around my neck
rope around my throat
dazzles in the sun as i breathe
tightenings in the air
as i grasp for breath
cuffs on my arms as i am isolated
shackles on me limiting my movements

i often wander how big a step
have we taking to move forward
my ancestors thought for the freedom
for my freedom and did it with a smile
and though life has changed
yet we are all prisoners
prisoners of the mind
our ancestor kept a smile
in belief that rain came
after every drought no
matter how long

Dreams

If only I could set
Sail off to a world
With no pain
Just a place to be free
Where my mind can roam
A place where my family can
All sit and enjoy a smile
Where the day is calm and the night
is filled with serenity
I often dream of this place
where the nations at peace
and no need to say goodbye
where solider are home
and thieves are in doors
I dream of a land of perfection
a place of love and belief in god
so I set off into the sky
and mount up high
as I look down on the land
but as I go to join

Love For Death

The cold warmth of darkness icy old kiss
as i drift away with his icy cold grip
hand stretch from beyond touch
not my heart or soul
but gaze on as i move along
for my sweetest tale
is the tale of death
embracing its warmth
as i stare into his bottomless eyes
i see his fears i see his life
a cast out like me
with none to lose and none to gain
no one to love
no one to help him when he screams in pain
he faced his sorrows alone
and now i must face mine
so when that guy in black comes for you
don't scream don't run but accept with open arms
cause that guy just might be me next time
as for midnight no longer do i care

A Mother's Sacrifies

Curled up in warm blanket
sewn from the tears and
love of a mother
no worries in the world
face ached with a smile
he sleeps in serenity

Perched on a bench she sit
with the wonders of the world
on her mind
tears held back
and hidden by a smile
she clenches her baby to her

Birds chippings up a head
provides the softening hymn
as he rocks back and forth
exhausted by the day
a mother breaks down when her eyes
drops on the heir of her fortune

Cry Clouds Cry (Haiti Tribute)

Cry clouds cry
tears from the heaven
showers the land as many die
so cry clouds cry

Bodies piled up in count
as many died
earth trembled beneath feet
as the heavens abide
so cry clouds cry

Children left with no hope
families broken apart
left a void in our heart
as masses quake and buildings
shake as relationships break
so cry clouds cry

Black rain fall from the sky
as to many die
