Time To Heal

The healing process makes me strong
While time heals I endure the pain
Hoping that it won't be too long
Before I'm recovered again

They say the lot like me don't change
But I've got nothing here to prove
And though my calmness may seem strange
It's only me, my inner groove

Each day I'm immersed in my thoughts
Some too complex for my fathom
But I feel deep inside my guts
I'm mentally rigid and strong

Sometimes I think back, when we met
And how naive I was to this
Worldly view of 'love', I reflect
And wonder what I truly miss

Is it the years that we had spent
Were they a waste of time we had?
But I've a new path, I repent
And for what I have, I am glad

Relections, self analysis
Coming to terms with how I feel
Sometimes your smile, I truly miss
But this is now my time to heal

Thinking Back

I'm always reminiscing 'bout the good old days
Seems we're all getting older as those memories fade away
To live a good and long life here is what I solemnly pray
And losts ones always in my heart as I proceed everyday

They say we should always look forward, but sometimes I think back
To back in high school times when we were poor and didn't have jack
And though I wasn't popular I still had some fun sometimes
To some they're irrelevant moments, but those times will be mine

I think of times when I was younger in my old memories
That innocence is what I hunger for in all honesty
But now we're heading into dark times and more uncertainty
But for a moment I shall reminisce alone solemnly

I Am Stronger Than I Think

Why do I deceive myself, believing I've got inner strength?
A long path of solitude, to be with you I'd have gone lengths

Strong, they say, but cast my doubts, more hardened than a solid rock
Changed, I surely have, inside, as if my soul a lightening struck

Each day awaken, open bare, as if for the world I'm prepared
Once was to weak to face my fears, now I do, daily like I'm dared

A stranger told me once before I'm stronger than I think I am
Is this me or another mask? the mark inscribed in my right palm

A Moment of Peace

Rain droplets trickle outside of his window
Unknown to the world is the deepness of his soul
An aura of silence in chaos, stays mellow
While the world battles, he's asleep in the meadows

A timeless moment in the seconds of trauma
A gentle wind blows, free from anger or karma
Arising from fogs of bitterness, so peaceful
So far from the world, in a slumber, so blissful

Free In Mind

I like to sit on plains of green
Let go of all the stress within
Look out into the open view
Take in the scene, so beautiful

I look over the world below
Escaping from the pain I know
And zone out into my own world
Where I am free from all the hurt

Sometimes I just sit on my own
Though it feels sad to be alone
And I look to the skies above
Daydream of some innocent love

Shut my eyes, feeling the cool breeze
Across my face, then breathe with ease
A place where slowly I unwind
I'm free in the world in my mind

Why Does Love Hurt?

Why does love hurt? it's best not to fall in love at all
What's the whole point? Except that we mould and become strong
Why does love hurt? There is no point in falling in love
What's the whole point? You're never always going to get along

So I have proceeded in walking away from it all
Before I allow it to be my downfall
I have taken it upon myself to be strong
Let go of the past and forgive all my wrongs

I can feel it around me, I don't want to feel it
So I cut out my heart, try to get rid of it
Now there's no way I'm ever going to fall in love
The pain and the sadness it brings is too much

Why does love hurt? I used to daydream in my youth all the time
Now what's the point? What once set you free is the the cell for your crimes
Why does love hurt? I'm never going to allow it cause me pain
What is the point? I've hardened my soul so I'm not hurt again

Stronger Without You

I'm stronger than my past self
I can feel strength in my veins
I used to stand beside death
Now my soul's cleansed of my pains

My words controlled when spoken
And my thoughts are clearer now
My spirit once was broken
But is mended with a vow

That I'll never let another
Step inside my world again
I'll never let no other
Be the centre of my brain

So I'm walking on my journey
But I know not where it leads
My soul yearns and is hungry
For the fulfilments it needs

And I know it'll be forever
If I choose to be this way
I'll tell myself that it's better
So loneliness goes away

And it might not be the best choice
But it will not cause me pain
And I'm glad not to hear your voice
Hope we'll neer meet again

Still it gets quiet without you
When I'm back within my walls
But it's the best path to go through
So forget we knew at all

If

If I told you that I always think of you
Each and every day, and in all that I do?
If I said what i felt inside of my soul
Would you look at me and tell me I should go?

If I dressed my best, would you think I was cool
Or would you look at me with disdain like a fool?
If I should come close would you feel butterflies
Or back off from me, with despise in your eyes?

If I were to touch you, hold you by your hand
Would you try to remind me that I'm not your man?
If we were to meet in the future one day
Would you carry on, walk past me on your way?

Ready For Revolution

I'm ready if you are ready to begin a revolution
Seems it's hard for some to realize there's no other solution
I'm taking no more of this crap, I'm ready to take my position
On the frontline, where it's at, and confront all the institutions

You can see it in the eye of the enemy that there's fear
But today we're not moving, it's make or brake, and it ends here
In the eye of a real panther, are images of our dead
And the pain of our forefathers make our eyes rage bloodshot red

In the midst of of all the chaos in the world are urban soldiers
Daily watching and preparing, as our souls grow dark and colder
Patiience running out, let's filter out the cowards in our regime
March into the warzone, fired up, begin the armagaeddon

Incomplete Reflections...

I used to be in darkness, I was feeling so way down
Would write a lot of letters, I've got nothing to say now
Would swim in seas of sadness, hoped to melt into the ground
Things started to get better, don't know how, but did somehow

Was so afraid that I could not live in this life without you
I saw my fears, afraid to confront them, but knew I had to

I walked the path of lost souls, it was dangerous
I had to see a lot of things that my anger cost...

Things Have Changed

You're looking for a change,
Well I hope you can find your season
Don't think I'll be a fool,
And keep on waiting here believing
Round here things rearranged,
But don't think you are the real reason
If you think I'm the same
Then it's yourself that you're deceiving

Don't stop just keep on walking,
I've got nothing further to say
We're grown and time has gone too long,
Like your name is yesterday
I'm not phased by your mocking,
'Cause for pain, I'm ever ready
I'm focused on my missions,
My steps guided, slow and steady

Regrets/Reflections

Sometimes, like now, I'm thinking, of the fact that I'm here
Things I have cut in my life, my bad ways and my hair
I'm focused like I've never experienced before
Wish I had taken this path 'bout seven years before

I wish that I'd never met you,
But sometimes I'm glad that I did
I'm sorry that I'd hurt you
And for all of my sinful deeds
I'm glad that I never see you
But sometimes I wish I do
But what could I even tell you
It's best, me, you walk through

Feels like I'm living underwater
Pulling myself out the gutter
Past my regrets that I'd hurt her
Could have had some sons or daughters
Made a lot of wrong decisions
Mind lost in so much confusion
Was so hard for all to reason
It's all done, it's a new season

So I'm moving on now with my life
Without whom I'd thought'd be my wife
My eyes are clear, my soul feels strong
And alone I'm moving along
I've wasted time on my regrets
I've only time now to reflect
In interludes while I progress
You're distant memory growing less

If I were to be asked if I don't love you
If I were to be asked if I still love you
If I were on the spot, told to answer honestly
Then I would tell them that my answer would be...

Walking The Path...(A Short Poem)

I'm grown to adapt to the sound of the echos
My footsteps in constance directing where I go

My head in a deep state of inner reflection
Contemplating words of the wise, their perceptions

The path is a dark one, unknown things in my way
In search of a way to be free on that due day...

Hope You're Good...

I don't know what to say to you
You don't know what I have been through
I'm making progress in my life
Through tough trials, I have survived

You still cross my mind now and then
But feel no emotions within
I hope you're well, and doing good
Make the most of life, like you should

I hear you've been around the town
And for a while, were not around
But still regardless of your deeds
I'm focused on my future's needs

I guess it's for the best, I'm glad
I feel no pain, I'm never sad
Without you I've not missed a thing
I've simply embraced what life brings...
