I tried my best to be a better man
I do the best I can
But here I am
Hurting everyone around

I try with all my might
To love with all my heart
But they said I'm doing otherwise
That my art is never right

I walk the path of the wise
Write scripts that truly inspire
But all I get is just great torment
Harvested from their hate-comment

I work hard, never disabled
To fend and put food on table
But still I get criticised
And was tagged as "lazy ***"

I try to improve my  profile
Be a better and less-rough guy
But life never permits
Instead; my trial emits afflict'

Family labelled me hellish
Friends tagged me selfish
Haters wish I perish
Neighbours gossips and blemish

I will overcome I guess
But If I ended up diced to pieces instead
By this sharp knife edge
Just be aware; I tried me best
Wish me well
Heavy rain
Caught my attention
People scattered here and there
Open the window with no care
Few drops Touching my eyes
Soft and mild
Other drops slithered on my palm
Trying to see
A message from the sky?
Looking at the drops
I felt the need to cry
Why?
The rain's drops
Shaped the first
Letter of your name
My love for you
Is still the same
Love the rain
Soothing my inner pain.

it’s hard
when the one telling you everything will get better
is also the one
telling you you’ll never change
I was soul food for you
While you watched me starve

I'm not okay but
Day by day I keep going
It's getting better
One step at a time. Take it easy, it's okay to be not okay; just don't stop trying to get better.

Keep me away from higher truths
Let me cope with mundane ones
Or reveal to me the highest truth

I pluck their wings,
like the tiny little
things they are, and
watch them squirm
for freedom as they
try so hard to fly.

You don't know anything about me
I only write to stop from thinking
I'm more worried about my life than I should be
I don't sing enough when I don't like my voice
But that doesn't matter when

You don't know anything about me
Yet you keep asking me about myself
I couldn't even tell you anyway
I wish I could see through it

I've never once tried to dance to a beat
I only walk in rhythm when I can hear it
Wonder what it's like to care about it anyway
But I couldn't care when

You don't know anything about me
Yet you keep asking me about myself
I couldn't even tell you anyway
I wish I could see through it

Everyday I wake up blurry
Could never tell a dream apart
Now I'm just laying in bed
Waiting for my alarm to go off

I can still hear you asking me about myself
I can't even stand to look at you
Yet every morning I come back
I really have to stop looking in the mirror

A note to my self
not to mingle
when the workmen's tools
are echoing

Wait
until they have gone
and the unsettling spell
is over and done

chlorine is toxic
hindsight is 20/20,
but i never should have kissed you
