My Mentality
Kinda quite in this world of mine
keeping people out have been my chosen method
and so am caught alone, even my thoughts
have abandon me so i find my self help less
against fates desperate hand,
trust no one was and is my mentality,
maybe my me against the world out rage
has a down side for there is no more love and care
for a guy like me
so at nights i toss and turn as visions
of me leaving this world premature
haunts my nights and the days are
worst as am lost in my own world
facing my down fall

What You Mean To Me
All this time i needed a friend
i got a lover
needed some one to talk to
and got something better
i ask for you to care
and we became near
so don't think i am not grateful i am
its just my way of showing it
you gave me some one to love,
when i thought was long gone
something to look forward to
when all hope ended
and for that i thank you
the night young and the sky
is settle your in my arms
and it feels like heaven
maybe it destiny or maybe fate
but which ever it is
i wish we could stay in this place

His Judgement
my eyes filled up
and tears slowly grace my cheek
the gods has played they cards
and someone near
may fall and let the blood flow
here i know the unpredictable
is only a knock on heavens door
death my friend is here
his clouds he set up high
and rain embrace us with care
but water doesn't wash these blood
stained hands
as the gods play
and he with the highest hand win
yet sorrowful we are left down here
his law is law
and his judgment let it be past
no questions as to why
so take this time to say goodbye

Police Brutality
Guns blaze in rage and anger
leaving another dead
as bullets pierce a
body without armor,
leaving everyone asking the question
why, as no one understand the pain
of a mother
tears held back to show courage
as so called serve and protect
caused some damage
in anger and pain feeling brokenhearted,
left a brother with a gun in outrage
tears came down like rain
but none can wash away
the blood stain
the night you took my brother
left me here in so much pain
i loss all respect for the

Laid To Rest
In these hand laid your cold
and muddy lifeless body
as i stared through your eyes
and felt a sense
of overwhelming guilt
my god how could
such innocence be taken away
i laid you to rest
in hope that one day your joyful
screech i will miss
you gave hope to even the tiniest
thing yet death came for you
as he touched you
with is icy cold claw
your pain i felt
my nights are not the same
and though we never got along
i miss when you curled up on me
so peaceful to watch you sleep
listening to your every

The Good Die Young
bullet shattered through
skin like broken glass
blood rains from the sky as a nation cry
all because another died
eyes barely opened to the world
feet still dry but now cold
as the good die young
before it all said and done
a mother lost a son
as his body returns to the sand
as it hard time when the good die young
no among of rain can watch
away the blood stained pavements
as am down on my knees
praying for my own salvation
seen so much brother die
and my god you along know why
the good the young
and the bad stay around

Final Moments
Lately i have lost myself
my talent to me begins
to make no sense
my body mind and soul
is lost among the rumble
my eyes begin to water
my heart gets heavy as
am only one amongst
millions i can not be helped
as my time is up
so fast so short
so much left unsaid
but yet no ones there to hear
so i continue on my own
as i wipe my last tear
i have gotten back up
on countless occasions
but none can match
these recent days
i swear its been a roller coaster

Sleepless
Sleepless night returns
as it all start to take a tole
this life is running a circuit
and here it comes back again
ready to grip me
icy cold paws grab my leg
as it isn't safe to dream no more
nightmares haunt my thoughts
and every movement
the a cursed hour approaches nearer
and nearer and am still battling this war
weary eyes slowly shut as it reaches the
point of hallucination, as it is to quite
i sit back and listen to the wind hallow
through the trees waiting for morning to come
as it struck ............ 3: 00AM ................

Take A Minute To Listen
Damn take a minute to listen
a minute to understand the situation
put your self in my position
and tell me what you was thinking
at age sixteen no longer a beauty queen
but a mother and yore only a teen
picture all what you could have been
all the places you could have seen
i tried to understand the situation
better and got lost in your life for a second
and screamed out for a savior
as no one came holding my hand
hard times, i got up screaming as
i came back and held you up to let you
know you'll always have me to care
and be there

I Killed The Cat
damn i killed the cat
i can't believe it
a well placed kick killed
the cat yet no remorse
wait is that a smile
yea peaceful nights now
you waking up for cats yea
but no its not your life to take
you killed a living thing
it only a cat
there no where near extinction
so you have no problem
no the kids loved it
how do i explain it to them
ooh bury it and say it ran away
but they will be sad
sad! what sad face never killed
no one but my boot did
it collided in its tiny skull
it moaned till it pass
