Existence of a Two-Faced Lie

9/22/2013

 
Existence of a Two-Faced Lie

Her whole existence is a two-faced lie
As a child, so indecisive
Expecting me to play as her conscience
To be around her 24/7 and decipher for her wrong from right
And now she tries to be me
I suppose I should take it as a compliment
It was fine as a child, but now she's a grown adult
Find your own identity
Used to wear black, I say I want to wear more colour
Look who suddenly is wearing more colour!
As a child, her friends thought she was so funny telling jokes
She never did say where those jokes came from, me
Always trying to take credit for the things I do
Fuck, she even stole a cartoon I drew and got credit for it at school
She never acknowledged where she gets it from
Instead she mocked me with the rest
Grown up, yeah right
More like never grew at all
This bitch is obsessed with my life
She wants to live it
Go live your own life
One day, she tells me to go away
To leave her, and her friends alone
I respected her wishes
I left her alone
And then she turns to crack, and wants to blame me for it
How is it my fault?
I wasn't there
I just did as she asked
I beat it, and answered her prayer
Years pass, she supposedly recovers
She goes back to school
She gets a job
She becomes shallow, and looks down on my family
Calls us pigs and dead- beats
Yes, I'm on financial assistance
It's not something to be ashamed of
It taught me gratitude

She was once there too
But now she judges, thinking she's above
When the tables turn I'll pity her soul
Because she's in for a crash
A slap of reality
A sense of morality
When I get there, I won't forget the path of which I came
I won't look down on it
I'll be grateful
She talks the talk
But will never walk the walk
She can preach the word
But to hear herself, she will never be heard
Therefore to herself, no identity
She is unreal
Just an existing two-faced lie
An apology isn't an apology
Just a way to get what she wants
Just an existing two-faced lie
Being called a friend, is not a friend
Just someone to steal and take from
Just an existing two-faced lie
Her honest word, isn't a word
Just something in the end to leave you feeling back-stabbed
Just an existing two-faced lie
Alone now without me to imitate to cover up what you really are
NOTHING BUT A TWO-FACED LIE

All Right

9/22/2013

 
All Right

So you think it's all right
To do what you do
Say you want to hang out
But ditch me for all your fuck buddies
So you think it's all right
To say what you say
Say I don't understand
Well maybe I can't
You tell me nothing anymore anyways
You'd like to pretend that everything is all right
So you think it's all right
But don't be so sure
You've lied so much
And there is no cure
You think I'm all right
But how can I be?!
When my own friend turns into my enemy
You think I'm all right
I'm not all right
We can't even talk
All we do is basically fight
You think I'm all right
You think I'm all right
But the truth is...
I'm not all right

Long ago I was so confused
Why am I coloured in a family and school of white
I'd wake up, hoping to blend in
Learned to accept things the way they are
Ma got remarks
Natives go with natives
Whites go with whites
Does that make me a freak?!
I'm not amused
Words would change if they were in my shoes
Learned to appreciate any colour
Appearances don't matter to me
Skinny, fat, short, thin
White, black, red, yellow
World's too concerned with vanity
Colour's no reason to be mad at me

This is not Good-Bye

This is not Good-Bye

To Anakin and Dakota
My babies I've cared for since birth
I love you more than words can say
Please don't believe I've abandoned you
I am abandoning your father
It doesn't mean I do not love you
I know you're both too young to understand
These troubles us adults go through
I know it's unfair to you
And to have to go through it again
Without a parent
Not whole, not complete
And for this, I am sorry
I can only imagine how confused you are
How angry and hurt you are
I pray that I can turn things around
I pray that I can bring you back home
Once again, things seem messed up
Flipped upside down
Abuse, domestic violence
Words you don't know yet
But one day you will
Once again, it's up to Mommy to pick up the pieces off the ground
I know you love your dad, and you always will
But he hasn't been good to your mom
Not a good partner
Not a good friend
His selfish games I must end
So sick of it always being his way
Or there's a price to pay
So now I wait patiently
Until it's time to get up and fight
I hope he's not calling you names
I hope he's not belittling you
I hope he's not drinking or getting high around you
Things will change
I'm not sure how
But for now I remain to wait
Try to handle things as rationally, and responsibly as I can
It'll all go down in court
There's not a day I don't think of you
I have a picture of you both that I kiss good-night
I miss you
Mommy loves you
Wait and hang in there
I suppose I could arrange a visit with C.A.S
But they don't seem to be much help anyways
I don't want you to hurt
I don't want you to cry
I don't want to have to leave
And for you to think that this is good-bye

Must End Poverty

9/2/2013

 
Must End Poverty

Many remain unaware
Used as slaves on minimum wage, a fool to exploit
Soldiers no longer fight for freedom
They fight to keep the wealthy filthy rich
Evil takes over through a mask of greed, while people go hungry with starving stomachs to feed
Need a change, so you can become what you're meant to be
Divided by fear, because strength can be found in unity
Pay your taxes to kill more people
Oil & Money is valued over life
Value the material things, watch t.v, never-mind  what they do
Exiled, terminated, or labeled a terrorist if you speak the truth
Run by Religion & Governments, known as the Capitalists
Take your orders from a Federal Reserve bank
You're all screwed
, or maybe it's time to rise up and change the world for our youth
