Oubliez le chagrin
Arrêtez de demander comment
Arrêtez de vous questionner
When you look back in time,
To see how things a-line,
It’s funny to see it all connect.
From history, with those victories,
There stands Jack Frost,
As cool as ever.
Except he's not.
How can he stay cool,
When everything is getting so uncomfortably warm?
No body to receive the energy I seek to leave
Abrasive, abrasive
Confusion follows me
No body to perceive the thoughts that captivate my lonely dreams
The Streets are my teacher
I've learned so much than what I could learn in a classroom
Next thing 20 years down the line I'll be cleaning up people's room
Thanks streets taught me how to make living
Who will you become?
A doctor, a lawyer, a nun
A man, a woman, or none
What will you do?
Watch Hulu, write the truth, or teach the youth
Say what you want about me,
I don't give a fuck.
I've tried to be rational,
Now I've given up.
Words can only go so far,
Then you need action!
I've been a good girl for too long
As you start to rise, success can come at a fatal price,the risk outweights the chance of a changing life,As each day passes its once step forward or stay behind.... I remind myself of the things i seen, with the cautious thoughts of that could ha
Don't forget my name.
Carcass is the name.
Carcass is the one that owns the game.
All the golden chains and fame.
On the top dome.
In the biggest seat it is my Throne.
See my wings i will defeat.
Whether the sky awakens bright with color
Or dark and dim with a sun that's covered
I get out of bed and look in the mirror
I say to myself "You are made to be here"
Time is ticking and I will not let it go to waste
Make me busy.
Engorge the lazy, shiftless minutes of my waking hours with thoughtless labor.
Make me work, make me eat, make me work again, until the sun goes down.
I want to create
BE
Become the current
Ethereal reality
No authentic fakery
Forget time spent
Live in dreams
Read in books
So in reach
I want to act
DO
I sit in the warm ambience of the lodge,
staring at a pane of glass,
The thin yet impervious margin
between activity and immobility
No sounds penetrate its transparent surface
In terms of Value,
We judge loved ones by their actions,
And strangers by their status.
As for ourselves,
We often misjudge who we are,
Which leads to consequences.
There are 26 letters in the English language.
There are thousands of words
There are millions of sentences
and you control this entity with your one mouth
To build empires
To tear down nations
Uncomfortable in that chairbut still no one seems to careI'm out here full of fearI'm bout ready to tearI know the truth is out therebut I just don't where
ACTION
These are their talks,
My Mouth is full of words, yet I can’t speak
My eyes are full of vision, yet I can’t see
All eyes on you
Its time to tell the truth
We finally got the spotlight camera action
We must take action
So we must act
Not on a stage with the man pulling the strings
This is not oz
The world does not revolve around you
If so then the sun would shoot down like rain on a window pane
Tap Tap Tapping on your skin until you blister and boil
Oh such pain that i'll never know
There are people who cry out for help
Using their weary voices to ask for action
But the people walk on by
Stuck in their own distraction
How many could be saved?
If we threw out inaction
Air to wind
Water to Waves
Pure to Sinned
Cradles to Graves
Crawl to Walk
Walk to Run
Silence to Talk
Night to Sun
One to Two
Peace to War
What makes you?
I made my choice.
Winter had come over me,
I fought it for a while,
But eventually I caved and let it take me.
All I see is vast, empty nothing, oblivion
Nothing can be changed, nothing
And it plagues me like an existential schism
But isnt nothing good?
To listlessly waste away
She's been sleeping
In other beds
Not listening
To those who mind
She stuck around
In dreams
Not caring
That they would mind
While living in a refugee community for fourteen years, I saw many issues that needed to be fixed to make a better world. Many students weren't even allowed to be at school, and many those allowed, didn’t want to go to school.
You Wont remember me, I am just a check on your clipboard, a failure to ignore, a name to forget. The money is the reason you stay. Its fine by me, I mean its only my future at stake. Thats just it- iam a mistake. My troubles dont keep YOU awake.
So we have rights
We have the right to life and liberty, to the pursuit of happiness
The right to worship however we like
to freedom of speech and expression
Sure we have some rights, and they make us who we are
Sleep Walking
The sun glitters in the windowpanes,
My eyelids flutter, straining against the
Bright morning sun.
I cover my face with the blanket.
He pulls it away,
JUST THAT ONE STEP IS BEYOND THE BREAK, YOU CAN'T LIVE TWICE SO FULLY INTAKE
REGRET IS PAINFULL AND IT'S WACK-DONT DO ANYTHING YOU'LL WANT TO TAKE BACK JUST THAT ONE STEP IS BEYOND THE BREAK
Questionable Mentality Okay so this is that good shit that I can never say to my teacher my hate seekers. This is for that little boy sitting on the bleachers.
Rewind back to a time...
Back to a time when things
Were slow and serene.
Back to a time when
I had a dream
Was more than a tweet...
It meant something.
Make no mistake-
Life’s a strugglethe strong are who achievethe weak are who fail.You fight for what you wantyou live for what you wantbut nobody said it was going to be easy
Its either you make the right decisions
I write because I’m a bird underwater
my feathers yearning for the day they become gills
my wings learning to swim
since the day that I learned the human race kills
and then rebuilds their cities with the bodies
When you feel like giving up,
And you just want to die.
Remember all the people you love,
And who would want you to try.
When everything is going wrong,
And life seems like a sad song.
What’s hard enough to chip a diamond?
I don’t know, but I’m pretty cracked.
Yet I have learned to refract
trials and tribulations
into ROY-G-BIV’s of hope and celebration.
Happy moments I tend to despise because life isn't so easy and these are the tears I cry.
They say nothing lasts forever so why should my happiness, it'll just die.
What will we do on this darkest day,
When the world just looks then turns away?
Will we cry out in anger or cower in fear?
Will we forsake the ones we hold most dear?
People want to make you feel down.
They want to cause an embarrassment for yourself.
Lookin' like trash.
Make a pose.
A flash with confidence.
Don't get ahead of yourself
Where pride comes into play.
I.
Translucent
The world in between
two sheets of plastic
Control and the mask
The world revolving
around popcorn and jello
and the anxious and
the hopeful
In one minute
many things can happen
choices are made
deals are done
decisions are reached
and life changes irreparably
I’ve got a noose around my neck,
And a fire outside my door.
I’m about to dangle in my distress
I’m on the 107th floor.
They say:
Stay there, we’re coming.
We’ll be there soon and,
We were once a people.
We taught together.
We fought together,
For freedom.
Our people won.
Black teachers, doctors, politicians.
The sky was the limit.
We were family.
Daddy was always there.
Clink...Clink...Clink
Can you hear them?
Clink...Clink...Clink
Can you see them?
Clink...Clink...Clink
Can you feel them?
Those chains
That everlasting bondage that keeps us unchanged
Every day we wait
And wait, and wait
Wait for our truth
Our justice
Our rights
But they never come.
Media purports them
Politicians revoke them
But the people never receive.
I am a product of the Earth, much like you.
My people blossom in the motherland, soaking in the bright sun.
Our vines weave around the rough terrain, entangling in each other
We grow in these dense fields.
It's like this
so quickly we miss
what things we try to remember
the things we have forgotten
and so I look on over the lives of those age has forgotten
