The greatest phenomenon known to man is the concept of love
When love is taught, it is taught to be regarded as gentle and kind
Adrift on this raft
Trying to help you understand a concept you just can’t grasp
When I say I’m fine
I’m not
There is a river of tears flowing inside me
Adrift on this raft
Trying to help you understand a concept you just can’t grasp
When I say I’m fine
I’m not
There is a river of tears flowing inside me
Your silence speaks louder than words
What happens today changes tomorrow
Speak on injustice, rise like songbirds
Your recent post, you put on a good show
Homeless I was
With no family to care
In came Lolo with love to spare
He took me in under his wing
Said "dont worry about a thing"
He brought me up when I was down
He made me a someone
a strange world
I half dreamed,
will drag me
wrestle me until
I die.
Then
I will go telling myself
I never slept
so soundly.
Weak, dumb, and broke with the heart to succeed
A life changing dotted line is where my name you'll read
A strong heart made a strong body to do Uncle Sam's PT
From a boy turned trainee, to a soldier earning a Degree
A mermaid from sea
Left fish for coffee and tea,
Starbucks and selfies.
I don't know how they found me.
I'm not sure I want to be found.
My mother taught me to stay away
From people from inside the town.
A girl my age I've never seen
And a man she clearly loves
My genuine identity remains obscured
From an intrusive tainted society
That constantly urges to be assured
Of its own perfection and propriety
Though it is blind to the many inured
There are wonders in this little world that apply
to the lifestyle of an endangered oblige
although we submerge beneath it all
as a water cascades upon its fall
and the life of a tree slowly escapes,
The rose bush stands, no limit of bases,
The variety of color brings variety of faces.
The eye for sunlight is always in search,
Whether under a tall willow, or the border of a church.
