Exhaling

It's never easy letting go
Even when you know it is what's best
There's this intolerable discomfort
Cuz your soul can't rest...
In peace rest the pieces...
Of your heart, which never ceases
....to love
The heart cannot not love
That's its reason for existence
The mind just cuts all communication channels
And that's our great escape
Our ingenuitive means of self preservation
But in solitude we recognise the gravity of the situation
The eerie silence is deafening
Even in a crowd, you still feel alone
All because of a loan you approved
Lending out your heart
....with no insurance
you have to accept the debt after they didn't do their part
Emotions run wild like a turbulent sea
Crashing against walls u built to hold it all inside
"She'll never see me cry"
"She'll never see me cry"
"I have too much pride"
There are no words to describe how you feel
And no matter how much you deny it, the tears remind you its real
We all live to love
Its love that makes me, me
I love to love but love don't love me

my purpose

I provide light to dark streets
For those who prowl at night
Making it more secure
For those who venture into my life
Why did the God of light
Choose to make me a simple streetlight?
I WANT TO BE A MOON
I wanna have stars in my room
The moon depends on the sun
The source of its power
I guess that accounts
For its modest demeanor
But at the same time
When full, it’s romantic
And for those who believe tales Of werewolves, tragic
It shows off on my kindred
When power is out
Gleaming its glory
Across the clouds
Fanatics leave shelters
In a quest to behold its radiance
Even the great MJ
Thinks the moon can dance
It’s exalted
It’s praised
I can’t even shine my light
With my head raised
But then sooner or later u have to realise your purpose
You have no control
Over what God wants you to be
Me? I’m tired of complaining
I’ve just got to be ME

Broken

Like a broken clock
Tick tick ticking
No tock
31, 32, 31 again
I lost my purpose
I lost everything
I'm here stuck in a rut
But time doesn't stand still
The sun still rises and sets
People die, babies are born
My new shoes looks raggedly and worn
You'd think I travelled a million miles
Circled the earth a couple of times
But truth is, I'm stuck here on life's treadmill
And you know will happen if I don't keep runnin cuz the ground don't stand still
Life's a decathlon, injured and u have to compete anyway
but hey, look at the bright side
A broken clock is right twice everyday
