Rise

I am a child of god!
I slip and try
I hustle and fail
But still I rise!
I make mistakes
But do not lay by the side
I compensate
And still I rise
Ah ha ha, the evil force me down
With bitter lies;
But just like wind
Still I rise!
You might boom my base
And cut my heart
But just like twin towers
Still I rise.
You might want me to cry
And laugh a little
But just like a joker,
I laugh!
You might want me to avenge my insult
I ain’t gonna do that,
Imma take it low,
Karma will show it though
And just like resurrection on the Day of Judgment
Still I rise!
You might pull me down
Saying I’m unbeautiful,
But just like rain
I vaporize and fall
Saying, still I rise.
Oh you so petty mind
Don’t try to hurt me now
No drama or any frown
Neither a crown
I rise
With my own self,
And let you know
There is hell lot of life in me
That I always will rise.

-- Inspired by I Rise, Maya Angelou.

Ameliorate

I have a confession to make;
I casted a spell on you;
A spell so dark and evil;
That it ruined you!

And not just me,
But the entire race;
We stabbed your back;
And made you weak!

Oh you’re so formidable;
Yet you’re pathetically weak;
By our perpetual back stabs;
Slashing into your core and disrupting your boundaries!

For now you’re angry;
Agonizing in pain;
That none fancy to catch;
So the monstrous destruction fire up!

The flame that shakes mental agility;
Burns the conscious down;
Fries the optimism;
And depletes the race in contra!

Thy my heavenly earth;
We kneel before you;
Surrender our tricks;
Thou rise again and own us!


Serene the core, mantle and crust;
Make no move;
Destroy no being;
Mercy us!

We need you;
We need your passion;
To walk on you again;
To give you back, of what we took away!

Tell Me!

Why cannot I love like the others?
Why cannot the essence of music enchant me like the others?
Why cannot I follow my path with content?
Why cannot I be as wild as I used to be?
Tell me O lord! Tell me!

How can I be calm with myself?
How can I be free with none to tell?
How can I be asleep with no worries?
How can I talk without fumbling?
Tell me O lord! Tell me!

Why cannot I do as I please?
Why cannot I be satisfied?
Why cannot I make a promise to be happy?
Why cannot I make a person happy?
Tell me O lord! Tell me!

How can I walk up straight?
How can I wipe my tears with no mental suppress?
How can I feel that I am blessed?
How can I feel no heartbreak?
Tell me O lord! Tell me!
