Open your eyes.long have they waited for you to wake.One hundred years ago, they saw light.Don't you think they deserve to again?
My cries awoke me to harsh lights, unfamiliar hands, and cold Placed in my mom's arms, at peace, curled up and consoledRunning, and hiding, and balls flying, the world was mine, I was told
Working 9 to 5 on minimum wage, until old age.
It's not about the money, honey.
You don't fell brave, just like a slave, but you gave until you entered a maze.
Confused and abused, you refuse to blow a fuse.
what is a beat
dusk to dawn
settled down influenced by the near uprising
peaceful. safe.
chained within
Distorted reality
Blinded by society
Waking up
The sleeping souls
Rising up
Stop doing what you’re told
Think for yourself
Don’t have to act like everyone else
Freedom is yours
Dear School,
I don’t remember what it’s like to be refreshed.
To wake up in the morning with a smile on my face
And a can-do attitude.
It sucks to suck.
It sucks we all suck.
Suck it! I guess it's useless.
There aren't many people who are a real.
I ain't talking about a the trend of being real,
I mean really real.
call me out of the shadows i call home
call me out of this place that stripped me to the bone
call me out of the burning fire of life
call me away from the blade of a knife
Unforgiving,
Torturing
Things
A dream
Is just
A wish
Your heart
makes.
A silent
Hope that
Things will
Get better.
Love is
just a
dream
Wakey-wakey, get out of bed
The sun is shinin'
The dogs are barkin'
But this pillow is a perfect fit, to cradle my head.
There are things to be done,
Always things to be done.
Wet Noses.
Sniff Sniff Slurp.
Roll over. Wet Noses.
Slurp Slurp. Open My eyes.
Wet Noses and a Nudge.
Slurp Sniff Slurp Slurp.
Feet to the Floor.
Bite Slurp Sniff Sniff.
Every morning,
My alarm rings,
I hit snooze,
It rings again.
My feet hit the floor,
The sun is yet to rise,
I stumble to get ready,
Hating to open my eyes,
I put on my suit and drive,
i am the burried treasure found centuries after being hidden away under blankets of rubble.
my eyes decorated with rings of purple and blue from a soundless slumber, evidence of a sleep still needed to be had.
I need someone to hold me,
To wrap their arms around me and
Squeeze the sorrow away
But I know I can't have that sometimes,
And that's okay;
It has to be
Release me from this anger,
On a good day:
I wake up
From a strange dream.
Desperately replaying it in my mind,
Over and over again,
So as not to forget it,
I feel Mom tickle my feet.
"Wake up!" she says.
The Lonely Star
Fear is Strong
Although I know it to be Wrong
I keep singing it's song
But what is fear
That we might clear
The painful sphere here
Fear is nothing more than a bad dream
It's light. /
I want to sleep. /
Close my eyes and count the sheep. /
The sun is up, /
But my mind is not. /
Slip off the covers, /
The coffee steams hot. /
I take a sip, /
I walk through my life
Seeing myself from an outside view
I see the people
Sleep walking with everything to lose
I scream and I yell
Trying to wake even just one of them
But they continue
WE DO NOT BEGIN AS POLICE PROPERTY, to be freed or detained based on some guy’s mood or feeling.” he wrote.....
We are not theirs... We are not of their descent.
Their hair.
Their skin...
We are not theirs
Corruption uses those faces
Beautiful faces
Have control in reality and illusion
Spawning death everywhere
We need those pretty faces
That inspire and hypnotize
I have awoken
From the slumber that has
Trapped the billions.
Enlightened - by chance -
Seeing what they do not,
Feeling what they ought to,
why go out drinking? some say, "why not?"
No more toys, no more crayons.
These kids want shots, shots, shots.
Glasses, bottles, kegs, why not?
Now you're behind the wheel.
Now you're in front of the cops.
It's not just one time.
I know because you've said that before
"It's just one drink."
"It's just one hit."
"I promise, I could quit."
It's not fine!
So wake up!
Driving the car
got a text from a friends
asking "where you at"
I look down at my phone
the next the thing I knew
I hit a boy crossing the street
OH NO HE'S Dead
Now spending 50 years in jail
Life is dictated in Time's court
So fuck around all you want
Time will come and strip your selfishly selfless conceited joys
Gavel slammed to a sentence of eternal damnation
You to an eternity of never ending
RING! RING! Click!
A text came through
It reads "WHR R U?"
Not parked, moving motion
CRASH! SLAM! SCREECH! What's the commotion?
Three spins and a twist your wrapped around a pole
