Main Participant
You want the sky blue,
Whenever you want it to.
You want people to fall over you,
As if that's suppose to happen too!
As if your star is brighter by far!
We keep asking ourselves,
WHY things turn out the way they do!
Why there is violence...
Disrespect and a disregard too!
We keep asking ourselves questions,
About those things we condone.
We initiate those things we hate...
Then want to be left alone!
You want the sky blue,
Whenever you want it to.
You want people to fall over you,
As if that's suppose to happen too!
As if your star is brighter by far!
To be catered to...
Because of ideals fed,
That have never been true!
You think this world exists...
To be about you as you wish!
But you have dismissed,
Others like the plague...
Or if they suffered from sickness,
To ignore, kicked to the side...
And left for dead and quick you hide.
As you and others like you,
Wine and dine until you're subdued.
And this world that 'you've' created,
Reflects just what you have dished!
Your satisfaction is much delayed...
Aided by nonsense,
And your destructive ways...
Inflamed by this foolishness assisted.
And if you feel you are now being screwed...
Look in the mirror!
And you will see who has done that too.
You're the main participant of a life allowed!
Doing those things a thoughtlessness brings,
Looking for sympathy...
As you show a head inebriated.
Awakening ashamed and obviously bowed!
Questioning why you drank for hours...
To sustain an elusive quest for power!

Sonnet: Don’t You Worry
Some things may happen unexpectedly;
No need to fret or fume or feel depressed;
All things do happen for our good only;
Let’s hope that life makes feel less repressed.
We should not change in ways the world expects;
We must not change if principles are lost;
We can adjust to things if world respects;
For everything, there is a risk and cost!
Don’t you worry as God decides all things;
Just take the things as they come up to you;
None can predict the time and things, life brings;
Life brings problems and apt solutions too.
All things in life are transient, ev’n if long;
We have to do things right and not the wrong!

Brightter Star
life is like a star
it shines bright in one,
but in an other it can be a dead
dull star
when a star dies
what is left becomes a stronger
brighter and better star
like us when we die
the next generation can be
and will be a
brighter generation
that will creat a brighter future than the one we created

Sometimes
Sometimes, things just seem to fall apart
When you least expect them to
Sometimes you want to pack up and leave behind
All of them and all their smiles
I don't know what to think anymore
Maybe things will get better
Maybe things will look brighter
Maybe
Sometimes, people surprise you
And people surprise me
But I guess that's the price we pay
For wanting so badly
I don't know what to think anymore
Maybe things will get better
Maybe things will look brighter
Maybe(X3)
Sometimes(till the End)

Mirror mirror…
A mirror reflects all but lies.
Reflects the things
Everyone denies.
Reflects the way
You shaped yourself.
Reflects the things
Complex, simple, hidden and obvious.
Reflects the things
We have done in our lives.
Reflects the things
We don’t want to see.
But it has never reflected
Me.
In darkness and alone
I sit at the edge
Of icy cold black water.
Mirror mirror…
I sit their staring at no reflection
Thinking of the things I am,
Daughter, student, sister, lover.
But it does not define to me who I am.
I see all the things
I don’t want to see.
Perhaps than there is no “me”?
I do not exist in my reflections.
I can not find me in those titles.
Mirror mirror…
Perhaps then it is fact
Am I nothing more but that?
So should I satisfy with the things I see?
Is life’s lesson then that you should “just be”?
Is there nothing more then the endless time passing?
Mirror mirror…
Perhaps it is why it is never said
That a mirror holds an answer.

Circumspection
Many things i see concern me about people
I see people do stupid things
I see people do things to help the world
I see people do many things that someday they will not be proud of
Concerns come from the stupid things i see people do
If there a thousands of people doing things that i see
The world is a lot worse than what i thought
But other things i see cause me to see the good side of things
People that i see do acts of kindness make me see the world in other ways
But from what i see some people do i am filled with concern.

Thats What I Think
Sometimes I think
Things are overwhelming
Sometimes I think
I dont know what Ill do
But I forget the world
And everything around me
Thats what I think
When I think about you
The streets are filled
With too many babies
Black air in a sky of blue
People pass by
No life in their eyes
The concrete jungles
Really going crazy
Sometimes I think
Things are overwhelming...
The rent is due
And the pockets are empty
People ask machines
For the truth
No crystal ball
Can help see it all
But where we gonna find
The dreams to feed the babies
Baby life goes on
Thats what people say
But Im nowhere
If you go away
Id just be looking
For a brighter day
Sometimes I think
Things are overwhelming...
What can I do
Forget about the world
And everything around me
Thats what I think
When I think about you

Wishing Upon A Star
Oh how we all wish upon a star...
So magical, yet real,
Will it come true?
Or is this all pretend?
So many people count on you,
Oh lucky shooting star don't you see this?
Can't you just once make people's only wish come true?
Is that even possible?
I sure hope so,
We can only wonder and wait,
For my only wish is for you to be mine,
Forever and always,
Tell death do us part.
Do you believe miracles?
I do...I think,
Like why not?
You got nothing else to lose...
But maybe that's the problem in this world,
Too many people count on miracles to happen, instead...
When really they could be doing something about it,
You see people always trying to take the easy way out of things,
Never want to work for things they want or need,
Like the saying goes...
Follow your dreams,
Only YOU can make them real,
Who knows,
Who will ever know...
But the thing I do believe is,
Time will tell my friend,
Hang in there...
Try your hardest, until you can't no more,
And you'll surely get rewarded with the very best

I Hate
I hate my life,
There were many times I wish I could die.
I at times really feel like dying,
But I only end up crying.
I hate my life,
And every thing (almost everything) in it.
Sometimes I just want to end it.
To forget all my miseries and sorrows,
Don't even bother about seeing another tomorrow.
At times I want to cut myself,
It's hard to do but it's like that's only thing that would help.
I know I am talking out of vexation.
I don't care.
I want to hurt the people who hurt me so bad,
Make them cry and feel real sad.
I feel so fed up,
People from outside would say 'Shut Up! ! '
You don't know what you talking about.
But I am not them,
And they are not me.
So please let me be.
At times I wonder what's my purpose,
Is for me to stay on this earth,
And basically just hurt,
Wait till it gets more worse.
So many things I hate.
Living up to so many expectations,
Wondering if I'll ever meet them.
Things people say to me it come off as me being dumb.
Not like that is what I think of myself.
There are times when I genuinely smile,
A blow from reality tells me things ain't right.
Maybe just maybe things might go my way,
And I'll actually see a brighter day.
Most times I feel so alone,
Constantly reminded I've got problems in my own home.
I feel so tired I just want to rest my head,
Days like these make me feel I'm better off dead! !

It's The Things You Do
Chorus:
It's the things you do
That have made me fall
So in love with you
You can have it all
What else can I do
Nothin' left to prove
It's the things you do
(It's the things you do)
You touched my love line
So deep inside I
Never thought I'd feel so good
Oh no
No need to hide now
Open up your mind now
Let me make it understood
Because
Bridge:
Cos nobody ever said to me
All of the things we shared within
Now that I know that you can see
Let me fill you up
Chorus
(It's the things you do)
You and me baby like the ABC
K-I-S-S-I-N-G
Could it be unity
I need like J Hoffa
Romance your body
Work it out - mm proper
One of the finest
Things on my mind is
How you make me feel like gold queen Midas
Straight A plus the material I bust
But the things that you do
Keep me up and it's a must
Bridge
It's the things you do
That have made me fall
So in love with you
You can have it all
What else can I do (what else can I do)
Nothin' left to prove (baby nothing left to prove)
It's the things you do
That have made me fall
So in love with you
You can have it all
What else can I do
Nothin' left to prove
(It's the things you do)
Give me a chance and let me in
There's no need to hide what's there within
Now that I know that you can see
Let me fill you up
You got that Midas touch
I love you more than enough
For all the things that you do
It's the things you do
So in love with you
You can have it all
What else can I do
Nothin' left to prove
It's the things you do

Fixed As If Cemented
Those who remain with wishes,
To see things as they would choose to view them.
And not how things are.
Since things are the way they have been...
Unchanged and unbending.
Fixed as if cemented.
There is nothing to say,
To those like that.
Those who disbelieve,
Things are not as they are seen.
But 'should' be the way they would 'like'?
That is alright.
Do not frustrate in argument with them.
Your time...
Not theirs,
Is to mellow like fine wine.
Know this!
Others who have had these 'things'...
Just as they are and wish to leave them that way.
Defend their points of view.
Despite what it is you do.
Whether you condone what is done or not.
And it is difficult to get that across to some people.
But not for the few!
Who have chosen their own lives to live.
And have chosen to do the best they can...
To assist,
With any apparent awakening...
Some stand by and expect.
However,
If things as they are as observed are accepted...
By those affected.
And they wish things to be just the way they are?
'Left-a-lone! '
It is better to leave what is seen that way.
ALONE!
Turn away from it and live one's own life.
Frustration free and nurturing one's peace of mind!
Unless?
There is always an 'unless' involved.
Unless...
One has desires to remain in darkness!
And argue about the prospects,
Of a light that could shine...
Between two ears already known closed.
Optimistic people love the concept of options!
Although,
Some narrow minds will never open that wide!

I Tried
I tried so hard,
I run,
I hide,
My weakness doesn't show,
Nor does my tear fall,
When things crumble,
I fall,
I rise up against the things I believe in,
I rise for my rights,
People shun me,
People yell at me,
I tried over and over again,
I tried to run,
No where to hide,
I tried to seek love,
But end up with heartaches,
I tried for you,
I tried for me,
In the end we were no match,
I am sorry the way things ended,
I am sorry for all the things I have said and done.
I am sorry.

Things Happen For Their Reasons
Things happen for their reasons.
And there is no need to make excuses,
For the obviousness...
Of those mistakes made.
Things happen for their reasons.
And,
What is there to say...
That can excuse mistakes away.
Stop that need to medicate.
Things happen for their reasons.
Why waste time in prolonged debates.
Thing happen for their reasons.
What is the purpose for seeking escapes.
Things happen for their reasons.
Acceptance eases,
The facing of one's fate.
Things happen for their reasons.
They happen for their reasons.
Stop that need to feed on grief.
Things happen for their reasons.
Why squeeze a healing wound to bleed.
Things happen for their reasons
They happen for their reasons.
And aging doesn't make one safe.
Or offer escapades as a gateway to charade.
Things happen for their reasons.
They happen for their reasons.
Things happen for their reasons.
And there is no need to make excuses,
For the obviousness...
Of those mistakes made.
Even while one ages,
With a life reminisced played on many stages...
Try their best to gracefully accept,
Things happen for their reasons.
And those experienced,
Eventually see this.
Things happen for their reasons.
And in the living of one's life...
A discovery reveals,
Those reasons with insight.

Sonnet: Things Happen for Every One’s Best
Whatever happens, happens for our good;
There always is God’s writing on the wall;
Mishaps should never disturb our sane mood;
There is renewed strength after every fall.
Some things don’t happen in the ways we want;
Some things don’t happen in the time we set;
Sun’s rays can fall both straight and also slant;
All Righteous men should never fume or fret.
If we can take all things as godsend, then
Our troubles cannot irk us any more;
Let it rain or let it sun! Say, Amen,
And pray to God to open us new door.
Our woes cannot be permanent for life;
And newer joys will be born out of strife.

Hate 2 Luv U
It was the wrong day
The wrong month
The wrong year
I wasnt ready for all the pain and all the tears
Baby you crushed me
Now I have to deal in the worst fears
You had to go and take it there
Now im all alone
Knew I should have took my ass home
Times when you were putting it on me
You were putting it on me
I just hate u for it
Hate u for making me fall in luv
And theres nothing I can do about it
So blue about
Dont wanna be in luv
I just hate u for it
Hate u for making me fall in luv
And theres nothing I can do about it
So blue about
Dont wanna be in luv
Thought I could change u
And turn u into a good man
Thought my love was bond
And things were going as I planned
But what a fool I was
U was still hitting your ex-girlfriend
I had to be out you understand
Now im all alone
Knew I should have took my ass home
Times when you were putting it on me
You were putting it on me
I just hate u for it
Hate u for making me fall in luv
And theres nothing I can do about it
So blue about
Dont wanna be in luv
I just hate u for it
Hate u for making me fall in luv
And theres nothing I can do about it
So blue about
Dont wanna be in luv
Wish that (wish that things were different)
Wish that things were different
(that you would love me the way that I love you) the way that I love you
(cant believe you hurt me babe) cant believe
(and do me this way)
(I hate to love you cant let go)
Now im all alone
Knew I should have took my ass home
Times when you were putting it on me
You were putting it on me
I just hate u for it
Hate u for making me fall in luv
And theres nothing I can do about it
So blue about
Dont wanna be in luv

Miracle or Not
I’m the kind of girl who stays at home hoping for a miracle
A miracle that would help us all
We are in a world that doesn’t give a crap about what we do or what we can do
But it’s cool because when there’s a hero that hero will be you
You can help the world be a better place
Stop the discrimination and all the hate
I mean who are you to be calling anyone a hurtful name?
I know I have done those things and it puts me to shame
And yes I am the one and only one to blame
I shouldn’t have let those people get into my head
Should have helped out the victim instead
Now in days people are committing suicide
Just because they can no longer hide
Hide from the pain; hide from the shame that has been brought to their name
The victims may think that they are the weakest link
But in reality the bully is weaker than they think
They are too afraid of the future and what is going to come
No one can stop the things that are going to be done
A miracle or not what is going to happen will happen
Because karma will always come back around and you’ll be sorry for what you’ve done back then

Going Insane
lost in my head,
trying to make sense,
everything i say,
is spoke from the mind,
where is my heart?
where is the love?
world filled with hate?
will anybody ever relate?
what i hide deep inside,
is not the same that i show
on the outside,
there's a girl that confuse,
because of the life she given,
who would understand?
it a struggle in two directions,
to do things that make her happy,
or just the things that will make
other people happy,
i'm tired of fighting,
and tired of losing,
what i might be able to have,
rather than everything i can't,
will life ever be fair?
or will that happen
when people start to care?

Faith Liberates me
Faith is a Force;
It liberates me
From envy,
From jealousy,
From too much
Desire for fame,
For chair or high
Position and power,
Faith is a power;
It sets me free from
Lust and the prison
Of the flesh,
I am free or so think I
From all exceeding desires
For materialistic things.
I take whatever My Creator;
The Greatest Wisdom
That Created the World,
With satisfaction;
And satisfaction is happiness,
And a beautiful power;
I do not follow Satan's attitude
In wanting what Allah or God
Gave to the others,
And if I am deprived
Of few things,
I am bestowed with many
Other marvelous gifts,
Such as writing poetry;
It is a gift from The Generous;
From The most Creative.
Faith liberates us,
If we wish,
From silly things
That pull people down,
In fact faith is an
Unseen power
That surpasses all powers
Including military power,
How it can not be
As such
When it sets us free
From the killing need for
A human touch,
It liberates us
From youth constant
Need for love,
For care,
For tenderness,
Because faith makes
Human beings feel
Loved the twenty four
Hours of the day;
And that's the best way
Towards satisfaction.
When you feel Almighty
Surrounds you with His kindness,
When you are sure
He listens to you
He sees you
And protects you
From evil,
From wicked people
This leaves no space
For destructive earthly
Need or lust,
And don't tell me
That's not power.
