  • DEAR FATHER (LOOK THROUGH THIS)

    by BRANDON B

    Dear father,
    I’m writing to you because it’s evident that I’ve been discarded,
    I once was a clean sheet of paper that has now been tainted by your absence
    but as of, and since then,
    I wonder if I’ve been on your mind, does the thought of me inhabit you at any given time
    “ugh what’s my line?!”
    I’ve been through this rehearsal even though it hurts still to know you disowned me
    To think my blood brother, by a different mother, helped me be a better man than you
    Young Lil’ Brandon had thoughts of arson to all thoughts of you,
    My abler to be alive, not father, but manufacturer me a delicate machine
    With only one mission more determined than Akeelah striving to win that bee, When you incoherently stabbed ‘n yanked out the heart of lil’ ole me
    That empty space filled with hatred, stronger than a Jew had whenever they saw a Nazi,
    Constantly wonder how could he, he of all not see, the talent bestowed upon me, My endower my self-esteem lower
    Chopping up my letter n sanctuary of false memories hoping we could work this out are now under a lawn mower wait lemme lay them here n blow them about.

  • BIBLE VERSE

    by ISIAH
    1.
    Influential words saving me from the depths of solitude.
    Never alone, as I have one to show my path and guide me through it.
    2.
    A soul is given faith, and bound to the contents of the pages when read,
    And the grasp of knowledge and security overrules all evil and defiance.
    3.
    War and bloodshed, havoc caused by a myth.
    Endless confrontations, condemned if you don’t follow it,
    But follow your eyes because without seeing the truth,
    You’re blind.
    4.
    Protection is key, when in the satanic grasp.
    The devils domain is overshadowed by the voice of God.
    God is the light, blinding to the shadows.
    The followers are rejoiced while the others are left to wallow.
    5.
    Three days, is eternity without the lord our savior, but he shall not leave us forever.
    Resurrection. He dies for us, and he, the invincible, is back.
    Only to save us from our sins again.
    6.
    The mystery of the bible.
    Is this thee ultimate structure of the factual religious ceremonies,
    Or rumors made up by a drunk who simply has a story to tell?
    Never the less, this is what’s accepted,
    Even if it’s true or false.

  • THE SOCIAL ORDER

    by ISIAH

    From the free world class citizens,
    To the lower scum ballers.
    From the big tall wanna be men,
    To those just a bit smaller.
    From the top to the bottom
    I wonder what I long for,
    I wonder if I’m going to increase in this paradox or shrink and die smaller.
    But I don’t know cuz I’m stuck on the edge of the social order.
    Day to day life just seems to get a bit border.
    But I don’t know if I want to increase or decrease cuz I’m stuck on the line,
    The boarder.
    I’m stuck between yes, no, and sort of.
    My life seems peaceful but soon comes the war dove to spice up and throw out of
    line the social order.
    And that’s cuz I’m stuck to the boundaries that I’m assigned to.
    I long for change cuz I’m tired of my ears being soundproof.
    Like remember when you were five and you used to eat glue,
    That’s cuz everything you knew,
    Was new to you,
    But you know what you like or what you like to do,
    But ask yourself, ‘’Who am I and what have I been through?’’

  • MY VALENTINE

    by DAEZY

    My valentine,
    Fine like a supermodel
    Eyes shine like the sunlight
    My Valentine
    Words cannot describe how I feel about you
    You make my emotions confused
    You make my heart flutter like a birds wings every time you smile
    My Valentine
    I can’t explain why I love you
    All I know is I breathe you
    I want you,
    I need you
    I keep trying, but fail like a dumb kid taking a hard test
    I will say this, baby you da best
    I love how you’re always unexpected
    So expect this
    My heart is yours, feel free to break it
    Our souls are intertwined
    So this must be fate, yes?
    I love you like an unforgettable song
    Please make this last long
    Baby you turn my heart on
    I tried to move on, but I guess I’m just as useless as a street walker
    Don’t be afraid of me, even though I’m your stalker

  • HALLELUJAH

    by PAULA

    It starts with goodbye
    As the times grow old
    My memories fold
    There’s nothing left in this world
    I’m closing another door
    Open a window
    Feel the breeze
    It’s the wind beneath my wings
    That lowers this degree
    I cling to this melody you sing
    Appear before me in my dreams
    And bring me back to reality
    The struggle of the race is staring me down
    Back up in the place you felt you were crowned
    I should have never walked away
    I should have followed day by day
    I should have known the desperate lies
    I should have quieted the tries
    I should not have faltered in my love
    The chorus of heavenly angels above
    It’s an unrequited harmony they sing
    I should have known
    I should have seen
    I should have dusted off the keys
    To play the symphony you bring
    I should have never walked away
    Who knows where we’d be today
    Who knows
    This sacrifice may be found

    Or this blessing be shattered
    In the end
    Who’s to say it even matters
    This residing hold where my heart was once at
    Has me begging for mercy
    And still
    After that
    I look around into a crowd of hungry eyes
    And I see only yours
    Where am I to stay if my feelings are torn
    I can’t breathe without you here next to me
    I can’t be
    Without you breathing into me
    This emptiness has me starved for release
    Come back to me
    And
    Take me away
    This is no place for me to live
    I’m just a kid without a familiar face
    Trampled
    In the race against time
    Caught between the lies
    Abolished in the crimes
    I’m just a child in a house
    For this house is not a home
    It’s not where I belong
    Where the fear and hate are strong
    I search for something more
    Something
    Trapped behind the door
    Something

    Hidden in the mind
    An escape route with no time
    A purpose under flesh
    I’ve never known the best
    Never put it to the test
    Never had a life to rest
    It’s solid in my chest
    A frozen heart
    Full of regrets
    Unspoken words under my tongue
    Unfinished business has begun
    And the lies are told
    The stories unfold
    The damage cannot be undone
    Where am I to run when there’s nowhere left to go
    I hear the flow
    I’m begging to show the world what I have to offer
    But
    I have to get away from here
    And
    After all these years
    The place that I hold near and dear to my heart
    Where I’ve flourished from the start
    Well
    I hate to see it go
    It’s all that I’ve known
    But my final battle has been won
    My past, I’ve left behind
    My journey’s just begun.
