The World of Colors
Oct 8, 2008
He stands there and plays with his fire,
Not knowing she stares at him with desire
He cannot see her because she’s overturned,
She watches in shame
Because her water-hair extinguishes his flame
The path that lies untouched, ends suddenly
And a world of colors emerges broadly
However, he does not look back, or notice his wings.
He does not know that it’s for him, she sings
She waited for him with her back turned
Only to find out, in his flame he burned
She waited for him in the world of colors
But he never made it to the Doors.

A LIL SUMIN FROM DA DARK SIDE
Oct 8, 2008
Walk into the alley and there you’ll see
Something you thought never could be
Something that will scare the shit out of me
Couldn’t believe so I walked into the alley
Dead end, and there was nothing there
They told me to listen and then I will hear
Something that will make me scream in fear
They told me to be still because they were near
And to turn back around and they will reveal
What they put in your head, it seems so real
Where are they, what the fucks the deal?
Sh shut up and listen and they won’t kiiilll you
The spirits of the dark side
In the night they will collide
And there is nowhere you can hide
They won’t stop until you’ve died
They’ll find you wherever you go
And they sent me back to let you know
That one day they’re gonna lay you low
And they sent me back to let you know
that the spirits will never slow down
until they get you dead in the ground
never stop ‘till your no longer around
and they’ll make sure you’ll neva make anotha sound.
The events of that night haunt me today
Nothing happened to me is what they say
And I swear some day that they will pay
For what they did in that alley way
Turned around and there they were
That’s when I knew I was dead for sure
They told me the pain would be hard to endure
And now my insanity I could never cure
I thought for sure this is the end of my life
I always thought I’d be the one to survive
Neva thought I’d be the one in this strife
Now I’m fighting the dark spirits to stay alive
They told me to stand there and close my eyes
And when they open I’ll see a surprise
Looked but couldn’t see nothing but hear their cries
Screaming in my ear telling me I’m gonna diiieee-I
The spirits of the dark side
In the night they will collide
And there is nowhere you can hide
They won’t stop until you’ve died
They’ll find you wherever you go
And they sent me back to let you know
That one day they’re gonna lay you low
And they sent me back to let you know
that the spirits will never slow down
until they get you down in the ground
never stop ‘till your no longer around
and they’ll make sure you’ll neva make anotha sound.
The events of that night haunt me today
Nothing happened to me is what they say
And I swear some day that they will pay
For what they did in that alley way

when their time comes
Oct 8, 2008
It comes to them so fast,
you won't know how to act.
Its hard to beleive it happened,
because you never thought that life would end.
You feel like your heart gained a thousand pounds,
and the lump in your throat makes it hard to breathe.
It causes you so much pain to lose someone,
you thought would always be around.
The only thing you could do is cry
even that doesn't ease the pain you're feeling.
You think of all the times you shared together,
and each and every one of them you treasure.
It makes you feel lost,When you lose someone
who had you back, no matterh what the cost.
You feel all alone because the one you love
will no longer be coming home.
Sooner or later you have to execpt the fact that they are gone
and that maybe its time for you to move on.
but that doesn't mean to forget them all together,
keep them with you, in your heart, forever.
Just remember, they are flying over you in Spirit
They are always watching over you, Waiting patiently,
for the day you can your wings and fly too.

being native and being me
Oct 8, 2008
I was robbed of my homelands, ways and beliefs...
nothing I could do but cry and grieve.
I was put into wastelands and forced to change...
to cut my hair, speak his tongue and dress strange.
Nowdays...
I'm always distrusted and misunderstood in every way,
thought to smoke and drink every day.
Known to drop out of school...
to fail in life...to be a fool.
I can't get a good job because of my skin.
Its BROWN, but that's not my reason to give in.
I know I'll succeed and lead a good life
I won't stop trying or turn my problems to a knife
I'll PRAY to the GREAT SPIRIT to guide me
I'm NATIVE and PROUD to be
.............................................................................
Why is it that every one depends on me?
Do this, and do that. That is how it has to be.
That’s not who I am, that’s not who I see
This is who I am, and who I’ll always be
The one who is always hiding quietly
Trying to get by unnoticed, to slip by slyly
Only talking to those, I think of highly
And bonding with the people that click
And who don’t have to lie in order to kick it,
And who don’t lie, steal or cheat and S***
Someone who will be calm and legit
Rarely losing control and throwing a fit
Always helping a hand in need of it
This is who I am, this is who you get
I only want to be someone who will survive
Someone who won’t turn to a knife
When life gets them down in strife
Someone who appreciates the value of life.
The one who has never been in fight
Always trying to make every thing seem right
Trying all my hardest to avoid the bright light
even at times when life couldn’t get any worse
all I have to do is write another verse
and forget about everything in this universe
go into my own world, just to avoid the hearse
because this life I’m living is just one big curse
that will never end, never stop until I burst
but that won’t happen,(why?) just listen to this next verse
I’ve got the heart of a fighter
(I’m not gonna die here)
I’m a survivor
I’ve got the heart of a fighter
(I’m not going to live in fear)
I’m a survivor
I’ve got the heart of a fighter
(I’ll make it another year)
I’m a survivor
I’m a survivor
