The Life in Words

Don't blame me for my words
that flow out my mouth
through the path of my soul to my heart
my every nerve
Not forgetting my mind
For being involved sometimes

Don't blame me for my words
That cut across your heart
That make you shed a tear or two
Or causes you to rethink your life
For What's my purpose of writing?
If it doesn't move you?
Make you think twice?
Touch your soul?
Strike your every being?
Dis-harden your heart?
Motivate you in the process?
To move you to do something about injustice?
To make you think twice about judging, discrimination...? - the list is endless
To touch your soul with my bitter sweet words?
To strike your every being so as to attain a new way of thinking, feeling and treating others?
That's positive and peaceful?
To dis-harden your heart to accept love, to show love, to share love, to be human?

Don't blame me for my words 
I don't have control over them
They have a mind of their own
They have a flow of their own
I just follow
Where they lead me
I just follow
For I am a vessel
I just follow
For I am a medium
I just follow
Because it may be my purpose

Break the Silence

Today they all came knocking at my door
I refused to open up
So they brought down the door
All my walls came crashing down 
Marble and cement 
Dust and rocks
Bent metals
Broken windows
Seeking to destroy the foundation 
Only time will tell if she stands on firm ground. 

He listens to the rhyme of his breathing 
Because he no longer trusts the rhythm of his heart beat
His mind unravels day by day
His body feels every pain
At the edge of the building he stands
Weighing what choice to make
One push
he falls
No push
he jumps
It's evident
He gave up a long time ago. 

They were stars
That didn't glow in the dark
Obscured by their own insecurities,
Illusions, delusions, hallucinations
Lost in their own reality
Missing a big chunk of themselves
Yanked out?
Spat out?
Trashed?
Crashed? 
Self hate and depression
SHOUT!
SPEAK OUT!
GET HELP!
Before it is too late
