Neurosis is the way of avoiding non-being by avoiding being.

Beat bullying
I'm running faster,
Dodging people, obstacles.
Not daring to look back,
Avoiding their shouts,
Ignoring their crys.
If i keep running,
Avoiding them,
Then they can't catch me
I'll be free.
No more bullying.
I'll be safe, happy, free,
I'm back to being just me.

Created To Be Implemented
Inconsistencies,
And those 'fronting'...
With a smothering up,
Of their hypocrisies...
Are all over the place!
Try avoiding them without being affected.
And the ones self righteous,
Declaring themselves 'normal'?
The 'standard' bearers?
Need not go too far from any mirror,
To do an honest self evaluation.
Conflicts, turmoil...
And other problems today that exist?
Have been created to be implemented,
By those refusing...
To zero in on their own flaws and blemishes.
Try avoiding them without being affected.
Or attempt to exit from a baiting into a debate.
To leave unscathed and rated to feel depreciated.
And if one can do this to feel an accomplishment?
A miracle has been witnessed.

Dolphin
My Dolphin, you only guide me by surprise,
a captive as Racine, the man of craft,
drawn through his maze of iron composition
by the incomparable wandering voice of Phèdre.
When I was troubled in mind, you made for my body
caught in its hangman's-knot of sinking lines,
the glassy bowing and scraping of my will. . . .
I have sat and listened to too many
words of the collaborating muse,
and plotted perhaps too freely with my life,
not avoiding injury to others,
not avoiding injury to myself--
to ask compassion . . . this book, half fiction,
an eelnet made by man for the eel fighting
my eyes have seen what my hand did.

Avoid Drama
There’s drama in everyone life
Everyone bring around a little baggage with them
The husband and the wife
Probably complaining about someone they don’t really like
It sort of weird you see
There’s so much wrong, and I could be right
Even I have a little drama about me
Baby daddy drama – I hate it all
Parents saying I didn’t do enough with my life
Second older sister took a fall
Oldest sister is now a wife
Youngest sister is not so well
Baby father is no where around
Only time can tell
He’s no where insight to be found
Avoiding drama may come easy for some, and others not
The struggles of life pops up in a while
It isn’t all that
Worries take over- not even a smile
There’s so much drama
I can’t even avoid it all
Baby daddy, ex- girlfriend drama
It’s all I use to think about
Why you have to leave your baby mama?
I find it hard to avoid drama
There are drama queens
The baby daddy and the baby mama
The adults and the ex-girlfriends in there teens
The husband cheating on his wife
He causing problem
And messing up his life
Dramas is all around us
It comes out
And hurt us
Dramas
Avoiding it
Dramas
Running away from it
It will come back in a way
And messes with our head
Avoiding drama, it couldn’t be okay

Doomsday
They say we will die someday
Yes I do believe it
But they say there’ll be doomsday
The day when universe can’t even move
Should I believe it?
But yesterday, with the faith
I believed there would be today
And today, with the same faith
I believe there’s tomorrow
The day after tomorrow
And the other days
With this faith I believe
Will exist
No matter what they’re saying
‘bout the doomsday
But faith from my heart shouts
Doomsday does exist
Someday when my faith is dead
It’s doomsday
When nobody believes in his own faith
Now I ask
Someday we’ll die right?
Why must we be afraid of the day
We have to face?
Why we should talk about doomsday
Meanwhile we know death will come
Even without doomsday in our days
Doomsday comes
Nobody will be capable of avoiding it
We may be capable of avoiding from death once,
But who could live when everybody has died?

Back On The Street Again
I was so lonely until I met you
Told myself Id get by without love
Drowning my sorrows
Avoiding tomorrows
And I felt like I just had enough
You light up my face
Youre jokes and youre smiles
And the way that you came every night
I dont know whatcha got
But I sure glad I found you
Dont get me wrong it sure feels right
Chorus:
Here I am, Im back on the street again
Here I am, Im back on my feet again
Surprise at myself for the way that I feel
So happy that youre here with me
Some men that Ive known
Have left me with nothing
But I guess that was just meant to be
Chorus
I went down for the count
I was down, I was beat and I was crying
I was caught up in hate
Hiding my face and not trying
I was so lonely until I met you
Told myself Id get by without love
Drowning my sorrows
Avoiding tomorrows
And I felt like I just had enough
Chorus x 4 (fade)
