Being the fool
Being the idiot
Just for the hell of it
Just to see it.
Been the fool
At times it was needed
Now it’s time for new rules
Even a fool can see it.
Time to chase goals
Work is needed
Burdened my soul
Time to relieve it.
Gone in directions
Sacrificed me
Some heavy corrections
In immediate need.
Talk is cheap
Words are words
Only through actions
Can one ever be heard.

I see your faults
They show you’re false
Take words with salt
Don’t speak, stop, halt
Stop lying through your teeth
Every time we meet
Every time you speak
You scared what’s underneath?
If you got something to offer
Offer something proper
If you’re the show, then I’m the stopper
You ain’t no teeny bopper.
You ain’t no little kid
Lying about what you did
You’re a grown up make a bid
Be yourself don’t leave him hid.
Don’t keep him all tied in
Release him from hiding
Free yourself
From yourself.
By being yourself
Not someone else
Stop making fabrications
Expecting adulation.
Time faking
Is time wasting
Time’s a wasting
Better hasten.
You better get a moving
What’s the point you’re proving
By being someone else yourself is losing
Get one life, start life choosing.
You’re stuck in a time
Your mind’s warped
Think people are blind
To all your warts?
Well, people aren’t blind
They see their source
Let it play on your mind
You’re coming up short.
Be your own person
Start conversing
And start dispersing
For the acts not working.
Since they all wince
When they get a glimpse
Of your presence
Take the hint.
For your own sake
Stop being a fake
It’s make or break
Don’t leave it wait.
Drive me crazy
You ain’t a baby
You been acting lately
Start acting bravely.

She said; ‘I don’t mind,
That you’re so unkind
I’m not one to judge,
But you must be blind
If I must remind,
I am someone who deserves your love’.

I know I’m one of the men
And I don’t do what I’m supposed to
I know you’re a gem
And one I want to get close to.
I clog up now and again
And I don’t even approach you
I know in your head, you’re thinking when
Will I take the lead, and make the most of you.

Please don’t leave me with my thoughts
I’m so scared what they can do
Please sit, stay, and talk
Keep my mind distracted from turning blue.
Don’t leave me left alone
With these stones, among these walls
That’s when my mind starts to roam
I feel alone, and darkness calls.

You see me as a know it all
So you want to prove I don’t know you
And to top it off
I often speak as if I do.
So you play all of these games
See how much I will go through
I hope when we’re done playing
You see I only played along for you.
I hope you have what you needed
Whatever it is, if even you do
And I’ll miss the life in me breathed
Every time I spent time with you.
There were times that we connected
No matter the games in view
And you’ll be a person always respected
No matter who else may have played the game too.
Hope you see my intent
Realise it was always true
And the only backwards steps went
Were the ones I gladly went with you.

Traffic rages on the street
People rushing, got people to meet
Places to go, things to do
Deals to make, people to screw.
Tyre’s screeching
Horns beeping
People dashing
Close to crashing
Lights flashing
Shouts of passion
As cars are thrashing
Their way home
All this madness
Somehow strangely
Makes me feel
A little bit alone.
