  1. I'm tired of all the lying
    Being honest is so hard for you
    Being honest with you isn't worth it
    Because I don't get it back
    I don't feel happy
    I'm always insecure

    You make me insecure
    Your world revolves around lying
    With someone else I know i'll be happy
    I won't worry about you
    I wanted the old you back
    But it never happened; it’s the end of it

    I won't even fight for it
    I know I won't be insecure
    It's the old me I want back
    I'm through with you lying
    i'm through with you
    I am going to be happy

    Being far away from you makes me happy
    Being far away from you won't kill me, I'm good I'll make it
    This is the best for you
    You made me feel that way and now you're insecure
    But yet you keep on lying
    I'm not going to turn back

    Karma got back
    I'm happy
    I'm not lying
    You're too insecure
    You want everyone to be around you

    Everything is always about you
    You want things back
    Things of the past that made you happy and me insecure
    Why? You never made me smile and you never made me happy
    I'm done with it
    Look at what you lost because of lying

    Lying isn't accepted, I don't know about you.
    Why do it? If you know karma will get back
    It won't make you happy, you'll be insecure.

  2. The very first step
    Is something that everyone can experience
    But learning how to walk on your own is hard
    Learning to walk and talk in the real world is not easy
    Once you learn and understand the way to walk
    The world is under your finger tips and nothing will bother you

    Look under your hand, it’s the world don’t let it annoy you
    This is the primary step
    You need to learn and grasp everything in order to walk
    If you are correct everyone will be able to have this experience
    To walk and talk is hard but who said it would be easy?
    Walking is not very easy but this can be very hard

    Did you learn how to walk on your own; I think not this would be hard
    Do me a favor an look under your hand but don’t let it disturb you
    Try to walk and talk on your own it won’t be very easy
    This should be the first step
    Everyone should be able to keep this experience
    People have to learn the way to walk

    Learn the correct way to walk
    Don’t try to do it by yourself it will be hard
    Push yourself for you can be part of the people that can have the experience
    Stretch as far below and those are the things that are trying to get to you
    This will be the first step
    The world it hard, don’t think it’s easy

    Things will be difficult don’t think items are easy
    You need to understand and appreciate to be able to walk
    This should be one of your steps in the processes
    Things will become very hard
    Don’t let anything get to you
    This had to be your experience

    Make this your experience
    Nothing will become easy
    Just be you
    Just don’t forget to walk
    It’s not that hard
    Just make your steps

    Take each step as an experience
    It can be hard but it can be easy
    You have to learn how to walk and just to be you

  3. Before you walk away and have to delete you
    Delete you from my life could be just try
    Can we try to save the fire
    The fire that burned from our first kiss
    Can we keep that wonderful sensation that came after
    Please just don’t say you’re tired

    Don’t say that you’ve given up and are just tired
    I know you still want this. Don’t you?
    You know that if we give up it would only be pain and tears after
    Please we need to give this another try
    Don’t let the winds blow be my last kiss
    Don’t let this passion we have die out like last night’s fire

    What happened to that spark that ignited the flame, our fire
    Did the spark die out and the embers finally lay at rest?
    Maybe the night laid coldness onto the flames and gave them that sad final kiss
    That’s the thought that I don’t want to cross over us, me and you
    I don’t want us to give up and not throw in another try
    I know our hearts aren’t there yet, I know they’re aren’t tired

    Can you stand the feeling of regret after?
    Do you want to ignore the fire?
    Do you even want to try?
    Are you going to quit because you are tired?
    Is there no more we? No longer a me and you?
    Will this be our final kiss?

    I want to go back to our first kiss
    I want us to feel the same way we did when we first met, I want to feel the excitement after
    I don’t want to forget you
    We could reignite the fire
    It could last forever while we dance around it, never really feeling tired
    Maybe all we need is the one final try

    All we need really is to try
    I don’t need that lonely person’s kiss
    It would only make our hearts sad and tired
    And we both know that once the kiss has fall you will be broken after
    And the burning will happen inside neither of us, there will no longer be a fire
    That sounds like a hell to me, you without me and me without you


    So what am I without you? Am I some lonely heart that didn’t want to try?
    Are you willing to keep our fire? Or do you want despair to be the sorrow that touches our lips with a cold kiss
    I don’t want to feel that sadness after. I know you still want our love and you won’t give up because we are both nowhere near the end, our hearts are not tired

  4. In the end we are all dead
    We are just moving around in our dying bodies
    Just moving through this life
    As if nothing is happening to us
    We don’t see we are walking corpses
    We just move until we eventually fall

    Those in the grave are the ones that fall
    And we are just walking around our inside dead
    Our souls no longer in our bodies
    It comes out with our last breath of life
    Just waiting for our death to come to us
    Then we will be in the caskets as the corpses

    We will not come back again as walking corpses
    Will wait until we stand at our graves and fall
    That is when we are truly dead
    When many of our bodies fall it is bodies piled on bodies
    That is a great loss of life
    That’s how war gets rid of us

    When the bodies fall in front of us
    We move the corpses
    And we just wait for the next one to fall
    We wait until we are to join the dead
    And we are added to the pile of bodies
    And wait for possible for new life

    We are all removed from this life
    When death comes for us
    Then we are just corpses
    Waiting to find the pit where we will fall
    And be greeted by more dead
    As we are on the top of the pile of bodies

    Once removed from our bodies
    We go into a new life
    The way will be shown to us
    After we become corpses
    This comes after we fall
    And we truly become dead

    After our soul is dead, we are just bodies
    There is no more life in us
    We are just corpses and in the grave we fall

  5. It’s always easier said than done.
    Please don’t expect me to trust you when all you do is lie,
    If I could make things go back to the way they were I would,
    It is actually harder than it seems.
    Now you’re stuck in a situation where you’d rather not be
    At the end of the day, you make than choice, I just sat back.

    Now you text and call me constantly saying how you want me back.
    I try cutting you off, I try walking away, and it just can’t be done,
    You cried to me and said you hated her and she wasn’t where you wanted to be
    I don’t know if I should believe you, since I’m used to lie after lie.
    It isn’t always what it seems.
    Everyone says we should fix things, but I’m not sure if they would.

    Sometimes I think about going back, but I don’t think I would,
    Remember, you once said if you walked away you were never coming back.
    You would always say, “It isn’t what it looks like! It’s not what it seems!”
    I just don’t want to go down the road again; I just want to be completely done.
    If I said I didn’t still love you that would be a lie.
    Please just let things be.

    I’m happy and I know where I want to be.
    If I could yell at you and make you hurt like I did, I would.
    Don’t pretend as if you don’t care, that is considered a lie.
    This happened a few months ago, why are you still looking back?
    Your time in my life is almost over and done.
    You make think I’m playing but this actually what it seems.

    I love you and that will never change, so it seems.
    I want to be fine without you but I don’t know how to be.
    This story of ours doesn’t seem like it will ever be done.
    I wish it would.
    I really know I shouldn’t take you back,
    I won’t say I don’t want to, because then I’ll be like you; telling a lie.

    It’s really sad that I believed every single lie.
    It can’t always be what it seems.
    All of these feelings make me want to run back.
    I just want you to leave me be.
    If it were that easy, I would pray that you would.
    Bottom line, we’re over, the book has closed and our story is done.

    I can’t help being done, everything told was a lie.
    Take it all back, I know you would, things can’t always be what it seems.
    Just let the past be, we shouldn’t turn back.

  6. Life can be as simple as apple pie
    You can cut it up and enjoy it as you please
    Show that you are strong and will never give it up
    Pie is a lot like one’s personality
    It can be sweet like a cherry, or sour like a lime
    Whatever your pie is makes up who you are

    People need to see who you really are
    No matter what it’s worth, be simple and delicious like pie
    Show all the sides you have: like blueberry or even lime
    I love pie and its flavors so ask me about my favorite flavor please
    Enough about the flavors, back to pie and life’s personality
    Even if life is getting tough, keep trying and hold your head up

    When the pie is coming out of the oven, one needs to be up
    And ready for it because that’s who they are
    To make people know who you are, show some personality
    Release your beauty and gorgeous self just like pie
    But if that’s not you, then do as you please
    They should invest in making a pineapple pie and less lime

    Whose favorite fruit is a lime?
    They are too sour which is why I’d lock them up
    The idea of limes locked up makes me feel pleased
    Is there any other ways to show people who you are?
    All this talk about desserts makes me want to bake a pie
    Now do you see the link between pie and personality?

    I wish some people had a sweeter and more outgoing personality
    Too bad some of those people are sour like a lime
    Blueberries, strawberries, or even coconuts are good kinds of pie
    If I’m ever down or upset, I would eat pie for a little pick-me-up
    When I walk up to people asking if they have pie, they reply “I don’t know who you are”
    I will beg anyone to give me pie. I do so by asking “please please please?”

    Life is like pie; do what you please
    Keep your head up and show off your personality
    If you’re like a lime, well that’s who you are.

    Memories of laughing
    Memories of crying
    Being honest
    Showing love
    Having arguments
    Shows a family that will have their moments but are happy

    A family is not always happy
    They will hide emotions by laughing
    Sometimes just let it all out and have an argument
    Than people start crying
    No matter what there will always be love
    They will most of the time be honest

    The important thing is to be honest
    Not showing any emotion by being happy
    Even when being mad you still love
    Having family meetings and telling old stories create laughing
    Telling about an adult’s childhood causes people to cry
    Getting into an argument

    Sometimes by showing you care you have arguments
    Don’t let them think wrong so you be honest
    That can cause someone to cry
    Or being honest can make someone really happy
    There is always that one person that will always laugh
    You hurt the ones you most love

    The one aunt that always love
    Sometimes be the one person that starts all the arguments
    The one person that keeps everyone laughing
    The person that hurts you by being honest
    There is that one person that is always happy
    The kids that fight over toys and cry

    Kids always crying
    The parents always love
    Some kids are always happy
    Brother and sister always have arguments
    Fighting is when everyone becomes honest
    Telling jokes to make the family laugh

    When someone laughs to much they cry
    Being honest in a way of loving
    A family that has arguments, is also happy

  8. In life there are challenges
    there are difficulties
    there are choices
    between life and death
    that give you honor
    a decision to join the Army

    when deciding to join the Army
    you have to except you will go through challenges
    you will gain honor
    you will face many difficulties
    that may lead to death
    but it all depends on choices

    You can make choices
    To fight in the Army
    to face death
    to go through those challenges
    to face those difficulties
    but in the end you will have pride and honor

    The fighting and sacrifice will give you honor
    though you have to make the choices
    and face the difficulties
    that will be thrown at you in the Army
    and overcome the challenges
    even though you may be at the face of death

    Joining the forces is saying you will except death
    That you will except the honor
    that you will face those challenges
    make those choices
    that will benefit the Army
    though you will go through difficulties

    When you go head on into those difficulties
    you will face death
    and what you do in the Army
    but with it you have honor
    A great reward that only comes with choices
    and challenges

    challenges are part of those difficulties
    they are part of those choices that may lead to death
    but most importantly they are part of the honor and the Army

  9. Lying in the dark
    I wait for you to come back
    Anxious for your return, I fret
    You didn’t leave me, did you?
    Please come back to me soon
    I can’t wait to see you once more

    It’s so late now, I can’t wait any more
    The night has placed me in the dark
    I may have to find you if you aren’t here soon
    How long until you will be back?
    I hope that I can find you
    I’ll search for you until dawn, so don’t fret

    As I continue on, I fret
    It seems that I will have to look some more
    Why can’t I find you?
    Is it because you hide in the dark?
    Please do come back
    I fear that I’ll breakdown soon

    The morning will come very soon
    As it approaches I try not to fret
    Should I head back?
    Maybe you have returned home once more
    Waiting for me in the dark
    As I am outside searching for you

    If I come home, will I see you?
    If so, then I must return soon
    I cannot stand being alone in the dark
    If you are waiting for me, please don’t fret
    I will come to meet you once more
    So please wait until I get back

    I am home, and can see you are back
    If you don’t mind, what took you?
    I don’t think that I could have waited more
    Next time come back soon
    So you don’t make me fret
    Look now, as the light drowns out the dark

    The light destroyed the dark, letting the morning come back
    Your late arrival made me fret, but I shouldn’t doubt you
    I pray that you don’t leave soon, because I want to be with you some more.

  11. to say the least
    this year has been quite a year
    I always wished for some craziness in my life
    but never in the way it has been
    because of everything that has been happening
    I’ve been weighed down

    Even though I’ve been weighed down
    I haven’t broken down in the least
    after all that has happened
    this interesting year
    It’s no use thinking of how it could have been
    and sit around moping about life

    I just take what happens in life
    And never let it fully bring me down
    there were some difficult times I’ve been
    going through, but at least
    I am able to make the best of the year
    and fight any bad things that may soon be happening

    but I have to admit that all that’s been happening
    in my very interesting life
    I am done with this year
    and I just want to lay down
    and rest at least
    and get away from how it has ben

  12. Big, dark eyes, piercing through the darkness
    Their oval bodies live under the moon
    Flying through the night
    Feathers the color of coffee
    Hiding in the shadow
    Waiting for their chance

    Looking intently for the best chance
    They camouflage into the darkness
    The lurking shadow
    The shining moon
    Flaps of long slender coffee
    Pierced through the night

    As human rest for the night
    Animals awake to wait for their chance
    The wood looks like rippled coffee
    Housing the preys in the never ending darkness
    Up high in the sky is the moon
    Shining over every living projecting their shadow

    Approaching you, enlarging its shadow
    Only happens in the night
    Wolves howl to the moon
    The little rabbits do not stand a chance
    The blood drips in the darkness
    Frightened, the owl’s flap their wings of coffee

    Returning back to their brown trunk coffee
    They reside into the trunk hollow’s shadow.
    Only their amber eyes stand out in the darkness
    The stars signal the yet ending night
    Many escape with their chance
    Their body is only seen by the high up moon

    The sun hits the horizon, moving away from the moon
    The being is still the color of coffee
    They kept their life and their chance
    The sun, like the moon, makes the shadow
    The lighting horizon shows the end of night
    As the lightness overpowers the darkness

    The moon represents darkness
    The night covers the coffee
    Some shadows live, others lose their chance

  13. The night is pure and clear
    There are no obstructions, it is clean
    The earth appears youthful
    I watch and see that night is wise
    Night is peaceful, quiet
    I drink in the pure silence

    It is hard to find such silence
    When you are looking at something not clear
    I search endlessly for quiet
    I hunt for something clean
    During the night, nature is wise
    Nature is youthful

    The leaves appear youthful
    On the ancient trees that grow in the silence
    The stars are steady and wise
    The universe is clear
    Light penetrates and is clean
    I contemplate in the beautiful quiet

    The sun rises, terminating the quiet
    The leaves no longer appear youthful
    Their energy is no longer clean
    I continue to explore for the silence
    But what I see is no longer clear
    It is no longer wise

    The intelligence of the night is wise
    The peace and quiet
    Light shimmers in the sky that is clear
    I observe, calm and youthful
    The sound of birds interrupts the silence
    The noise makes the air dirty, not clean

    I envy the night that is clean
    I want to be wise
    I wish for the silence
    I pursue the quiet
    I no longer feel youthful
    I cannot see the purity, the clear

    Nature will always be clear and clean
    When it is night, there is a youthful and wise
    Vibrancy that only occurs in the quiet and silence

  14. The man watched himself in the mirror
    Twiddling a knife in his hand
    He would have his revenge
    He was broken
    And he was all alone
    Anger was quickly building up inside himself

    He was disgusted with himself
    He couldn’t stand the man he saw in the mirror
    It was his fault he was alone
    It was all done by his own hand
    His hand was what had left everything broken
    He wanted revenge

    But how can you take revenge on yourself?
    Everything in his path had been broken
    Everything he held dear to himself
    His fingers clenched deeply into the palm of his hand
    And he drove it right into the center of the mirror
    But he still felt empty and alone


    He was surrounded with shards reflecting his image, but he was still alone
    And he knew the only way to take his revenge
    He picked up the glass from the mirror
    A piece that had been broken
    He held it tightly in his hand
    And drove it quickly into himself

  15. Sitting alone in a dark room
    Thinking about suicide
    Should I do this?
    Am I really meant to die?
    People criticizes me
    All I do is sit alone and cry.

    Why?
    Why is it always me?
    Why I can’t fly away and be free?
    You always haunt me in my dreams
    They say love heals but that don’t mean nothing to me
    All I thought about was a gun in my hand and a sound like PU.

    Ahmed Don’t do it. Who’s talking huh?
    You don’t have to do this. Shut up and let me be

  16. The pastures are green
    And they shine in the light
    They glisten like gold
    So gold they look like they're on fire
    They are pastures in a box
    And they're all for you

    They are a gift to you
    From the mighty Earth of green
    Presented in a box
    Shadowed by the light
    Setting your heart on fire
    And turning your eyes to gold

    The pastures have turned gold
    Just for you
    It has extinguished the fire
    Yet the grass is still green
    It is the light
    That changes within the box

    The Earth is the box
    And it is all gold
    Because shining on it is the light
    It is light because of you
    It is gold as well as green
    And there is no more fire

    No flame except for your heart's fire
    As you open the box
    And the world becomes green
    And the sun becomes gold
    All because of you
    That this shining essence is the light

    A great light
    And it resembles a fire
    A fire burning in you
    As you stare into the box
    It will never turn dark and remain gold
    With this everlasting green

    The world is green and shines with light
    The color is gold like your fire
    Within this box, it's all up to you
