MAN

May be it was love
I am sure it was not lust
Maybe it was this madness that pushes men
The love and want for things out of reach
I wanted her with all in me
It seemed like she loved the play
Watching me weaken for her
Watching me want her
I knew this but never wanted to stop
I wanted her more and more
More and more she had her fun
I wanted her not for pleasure
Not fame
Not for glory
I wanted a friend of her
Someone I could trust
A friend I could be weak before without fear
Someone who allowed me to be human
And not terrified to be one
But she wanted a man
Someone who could stand above like a cloud on a hot day
Who could rain on her storms and thunder when they disagreed
Someone who could subdue her
Make a humble
That is what she wanted
But that is all I never desired of me
Neither did I wish it for her
I wanted to be honest
Guided by the truth
Truth sweet
And truth that hurts
Only truth I could trust
Not some weak girl
Who bows to every word I speak
I saw how strong she was inside
But my greatest pain was her desire for someone who could break her
For that, she thought me weak
Someone less than the one she could stand by
But all my life
I knew that the strongest man is one who can carry truth
Is who can bear seeing the people around them grow stronger
But she believed otherwise
I needed someone who power would never change
And that is only by one who loves humans
I hoped she could see
A accept human of me
But something in me told me that I was looking the wrong way
I was hoping for too much in this present

WHEN WORDS WOULDN'T SPEAK

When words have nothing to say But the heart is full What would speak for you? What would speak to you? When the quiet of a heart And the sound of a meldy Would resonate with your truth That words could never say When you have to quietly shout to the world Silenltly tell your story What would speak to you? What would talk to you? When the chrip of birds And the rumbling of a waterfall Would not speak to you When quiet would not do What would speak to you? What would talk for you? What would authentically tell the world your story Authentically Not hiding a single note of the rhythm of your heart What would tell the world your desire Your fears and terror What would speak to you? What would speak for you? An old melody That holds a memory A sound that holds a longing That knows the notes of your heart Would that speak for you? Would it speak to you?

THE PARADOX

The fact that the reason to hold on is bigger than the reason to give up Does not trivialize your pain The fact that you neither shed a tear nor made a sound Does not mean you never cried The fact that you smiled all through the ceremony does not mean you were happy The fact that you are alive and happy Does not mean you aren't dead A strange ghost animating your body Not your dream self The fact you woke up with a plan Does not mean you aren't drifting through life The fact that you love a song Does not mean it makes you happy The fact that you woke when the alternative seemed lucrative Tells that you have outsmarted the paradox once more

DARK

He sits alone in a silent corner of a dark room Trying to make sense of everything Everything is senseless at that moment Life seems to be worth everything Yet everything is worthless in his eyes He wonders why God had to make life in the first place and hopes it is not blasphemy No one wants to step on the toe of God more so those who hope heaven will offer a better home He is ashamed to admit that deep down he longs to be home Home is not this dark room filled with self doubt, anxiety and sorrow Home is where in the least he feels nothing Everyday he tells people to keep hoping but he  has lost all hope The only hope he has is that he will one day hope again Not hope to be rich or famous But to be happy for just a moment He hopes to slip over on his happiest day That is his dream He calculates how best to make his wish come But such days are to pracious to waste on fatal thinking He looks up to God Hoping not to offend Him and he prays for hope He prays that someone would listen ...
