You are Me
I am you.

You are me.

But I don’t want to be.



Your weakness

— my weakness.

I want to be new,

but I’m not.



Because you are me.

And I am yours.



Tied by blood,

You have shaped me



Only God can help me

— break the chain



And make me

Someone free.

Love
Bernardo Cruz Apr 30
Each smile I glimpse is a treasure
A memory I could always remember
A star in a broad daylight
Makes my dream every night

I wish that I could freeze
moments of time
That I could forever gaze at you
My source of Joy

I see millions of dreams in your face
I see the future so bright
But that all a dream
Im a dog with a tail between my legs

All that I can do
is always looking at you
Each smile I glimpse is a treasure

Silent Fantasy
Bernardo Cruz May 10
I wrestle with the stars
Crushed diamond under my hand

In my Jungle Lion is not a king

Famous people are my community
They adored me
But

That’s all imaginary
Imaginary community

Feeling loved via Fantasy
While reality bites me
While self-hate surrounds me
Ill embraced this immortal

Fantasy

"It Is As It Is"
Bernardo Cruz May 14
It is as it is, although I'm afraid.
What will happen will happen —
and I can't do nothing.

Although I wrestled
with study
and anticipation…
It is as it is.
It is as it is.

A prayer is all I need
to guide my feet,
and my hand —
against this fleeting time.

It is as it is.
God’s word I will embrace —
to give me light
and my worries erase.

Faith
Bernardo Cruz Apr 30
I ask and ask for something
and everything in between
I ask for glory and strength
for fame, beauty and
everything in between
I go and find some laughter,
happiness and everything in between

But now I found reality
the taste of bitterness, fail, and
everything in between.

I just want my Lords will
and everything in between

Time
Time Will Pass
I know.
Decay,
I know.

Why I'm here,
I don't know.
My purpose,
I don't know.

Keep searching,
Keep hunting,
In this cycle, I know.

Like smoke,
Present now,
Gone tomorrow.

May the Lord find me,
I am lost in circles.
I want to walk with Him,
To find the true meaning,
Of everything...

Oh, how beautiful the flowers are.
They are dancing with the air

There are reds
There are yellows
Makes your heart mellow

Oh, how beautiful the trees are.
They are dancing with the wind
The wind, the tree
kept me cool


The sea sound nice
With the chirping of birds
It soothes the mind.

Natural entertainment
They are dancing and singing
They are partying with me
Because I’m happy

I’m forever grateful
I'm forever playful
To the Lord who made all
Ill forever faithful

cofee time
** hum, ** hum, everything’s a humdrum
Need to be awake — for money’s sake.
Rake in money, need a coffee quake.
Sleepy in daytime,
Can’t sleep at nighttime.
Need to be normal —
But must live abnormal.
Oh lord give me a night time sleep
Save me from shame
Cuz I know everything’s in vain

boredom singing
Bernardo Cruz May 28
Your smile gives me butterflies in my stomach,
I hear happy music no one else can hear,
Every day is a dream.
I'm so happy, even boredom sings.

I can write a hundred lines of stories,
I can sing happy songs,
But when you’re near, I’m overwhelmed—
Did I just eat my tongue?

Myriad of feelings, my love,
I can’t understand why I just let you fly.
A lost love, a forgotten dream,
But forever, my boredom sings.

— The End —
