BROKEN CONTRACT

i held on to your promise
and that was a big mistake
you took me by surprise
now I knew what was at stake

you brought me down on my knees
my world spiraled out of control
overtaken by hopelessness
i thought I’m going to lose them all

i don’t have all the answers
there’s a big crack on the wall
with emotions going ballistic
i have ignored a sacred call

while everything’s going right within
i opted to stay outside and walked away
now a contract has been broken
i don’t know what else to say

UNTITLED

when the fight is really tough
and we fell short of the test
we find a lot of reasons
why we need to take a rest

we rationalize and cease
to persist with our quest
pride makes it even harder
knowing we didn’t do our best

realizing what we did
that we fell short on our own
we can pick up the pieces
while starting to move on

THE GIFT

words are my companions
every time i’m all alone
keeping my sanity
when I struggle on my own

but when darkness takes over
while I started with each verse
the urge to express what 's inside
turned my rhymes into a curse

NON CONFORMITY

refusing to conform
i’ve never felt at home
walking away from convention
i made a tough decision
looking stubborn from the view
of those who think they know what’s right
but the darkness that they see
is my path towards the light
