First thing you see on the evening news
Mama cries in a sea of camera crews
She pleas for justice but we just stop and stare.
We could do so much better if we tried to care.
Mama's back to work after a week to grieve.
She can't help but wear her broken heart on her sleeve.
She breaks down and says "I need more time."
Boss says "sorry. There's the unemployment line."
We don't need to change the world.
We just need to change our minds.
We'll see things in a different light
when we pull back the curtains and blinds.
If we remember how to listen to what people say,
Maybe we can find our way back to better days

Empty and shaking
I sound insane
But I really am
So I guess it's ok
Cries turn to laughs
Cries for humor
Laughs for help
Wring out the arms for blood
And the eyes for lies
Pooling on the floor
Seeping through the tiles
Karma’s a *****
But I’ll do you one better
Look you in the eyes
And I twist the weapon
Not for the fun
For the revenge
On all those that scared me
On all those who helped me
Laugh out the last of my guts
Cry out my lungs
Always the same
Repeating sensations
Fleeting rotations
Murderous flirtations
Mourning probations
But it's worth the pain
And the fear
And the guilt
For the ties and knots
They clog up my throat
To appear in my windpipe
And disappear in my scars
Hold back no words and show no silence

My cries for help

Have been ignored,

I don't think I have the strength

To scream anymore.

Underneath the sighs
There are many worries that hides away in the darkness
Those drops are from silent cries
Their happy emotions drifts off to blackness
There were moments, where you wanna give up
It's okay in life if you ******-up
Don't think your the only one on that long road
While your mind is still clear, that long road of yours must explode
Go ahead and put yourself together
Many has experience the same, so your not alone
At the end, you will always find your treasure
There is no need for you to have a heart, out of stone
You can find many supportive allies
If you just open your eyes

The music man is the master of disguise.
He sings about his pain but no one hears his cries

Love ain't , this hard,
pleasing while teasing the emotions down the drain for me,
Don't want you to use me and abuse me,
this feeling isn't the same for me,
my love is like flowers kissing sunlight ,too intuitive
to being let go from the horrors that await us in a world such
as this one,
by and by we all say bye at some point in this crooked timeline,
wanna jot down all the memories that keep me so divine,
realizing i'm not like you or him or any guy,
I don't know why I try,
to make you see the other side of life but still you
stress and cry,
i get to spilling out of my intense cranium,
you get so annoyed.

The rain is here, it's wet, please don't leave me.
It makes the world look dull, it light's up ours.
Thunder rumbles, it's cold, I need to breathe.
Sleepy, but free, I can stay up for hours.
It's too quiet, I want something better.
It rains all night, please let the clouds hang low,
Please let the trees dance, they will send letters.
Rain makes art, so does the sky, a faint glow.
It's real, but it looks fake, but I see the truth.
The sky is crying, the doors are creaking,
What about the pitter-patter on the roof?
We smile as it falls, the roof is leaking,
Now, but I don't care, I will fall asleep
To the sound and I will have soundless dreams
Wrote this a long time ago.
My heart
Is
A
Slave

It carries
This heavy love
It has for you each and everyday
And it never complains
Whether the love comes back in return or taken for granted
It will break and still beat for you
Because for you, it chose to be a slave

i'm always the one who hopes while others get to have
life only gives me lessons while others get everything
why can't i have everything?
im always the one who speaks 'it' into existence
while others exist with 'it' without hesitation
why are things limited when it comes to me?
why are my dreams too big for reality?
why can't i have it all?
why is it that when i complain, instead i should stay strong?
why is it that others speak freely and get comforted while i need to stay shut and be quiet?
why is it that my pain has to be bite size while other's pain can cover miles?
why do i have to be the strong one? why do i have to persevere?
why does it always have to be me who has to work hard,
not cry,
persevere,
not cry.
why is it always my blood,
my sweat,
my tears,
but, oh god,
don't cry.
Life has been hard since Septembre and frankly, I'm tired.
Much love,
N.
