My world...

My world....

I want to take a vacation,

a vacation in heaven

where there's no such thing as a man

and no need for clarification...

I want to b alone

where no one has been,

i wanna b far

and not b seen.

I want to sleep forever

but not die,

i wanna b happy

but not overjoyed.

I want the world to miss me

and value my soul,

for all who've taken me for granted

and have always roared.

Imma be where i have to

the heaven my home,

where angels n me sit

in a building with a golden dome.

I want the sun to shine

shine bright on me,

i wanna feel paradise

bow down to me.

As i praise my lord

and he's happy,

i live alone in my world

ever so gladly...

Hope

Hope

I was told to dream,

to dream and never stop.

I was told to pray,

to pray the way i was taught.

I was told to smile,

to spread happiness.

I was told to cry,

to get rid of the sadness.

I smiled, i dreamt,

i prayed and i cried

to make life easy

and i almost died.

Feeling lost, feeling dead

I cried out for help,

then i was told to have hope

and I'm no more on my death bed.

The circle of the loser

The circle of the loser

When you’re walking in the darkness
And you see a light
Do you walk faster?
Or run back and hide

Is fear of the unknown
Taking over the world
Is the fear of the world?
Taking over your soul?

Do you feel you're blind?
When it's all colorful and clear
Do you feel you are sad?
When everyone’s near?

Is there confusion in your mind?
Is there any doubt?
Are you losing time?
And there’s no way out?

Is solution a word too hard to spell?
Are problems what you're most likely to get?
Is that your weakness?
Or do you want a test?

You say you want to know
Know why,
You want to ask
But you don't even try,
You know what you want
And you can’t deny-
You feel like a loser
All the time.

You’ve been surrounded all this while
In the circle of the losers,
It’s time you breakaway
And grab some power.
Stand up for yourself
Stand up and shout
Let your voice be heard
Clear and loud!

I used to be an optimist but im not anymore....

I used to be an optimist but I’m not anymore….


Life is never the same
Nothing constant only change,
Life is different everyday
Sometimes sunshine sometimes rain

Sometimes I wanna fly
Spread my wings and soar,
At others I wanna die
I used to be an optimist but I’m not anymore….

People can change your mind
People can ruin your day
Some can make you angry and roar
I used to be an optimist but I’m not anymore…

Some days are way too bright
Some days are just a thrill
Some times are just right
Some times are just to kill

Looking at the bright side,
The other side, that’s usually not your side!
Can be easy and can be difficult.
Mostly it’s better with all of them open
Sometimes it’s better with those doors close
I used to be an optimist but I’m not anymore….

Growing up you thought
You thought it’d be easy-
To live every day
Even when it was cold and breezy.
But growing up you realized
What you thought would be easy
Was just unclear vision
And that you were, in fact crazy

But I held on to the good.
Always positive I hold.
But things change
And they bring a lot of rage
I used to be an optimist but I’m not anymore…

With no where to run
And nowhere to hide
I came out strong and bright
I came out to shine,
But it’s sometimes better to hide yourself
It’s better to be true to your soul
'Cause I need to be the optimist that I’m not anymore…….
