~* I Cry *~
Sometimes when I'm alone I Cry, Cause I am on my own. The tears I cry are bitter and warm. They flow with life but take no form I Cry because my heart is torn. I find it difficult to carry on. If I had an ear to confide in, I would cry among my treasured friend, but who do you know that stops that long, to help another carry on. The world moves fast and it would rather pass by. Then to stop and see what makes one cry, so painful and sad. And sometimes... I Cry and no one cares about why.
~* Fallen Star *~ (4 Huey P. Newton)
They could never understand what u set out 2 do instead they chose 2 ridicule u when u got weak they loved the sight of your dimming and flickering starlight How could they understand what was so intricate 2 be loved by so many, so intimate they wanted 2 c your lifeless corpse this way u could not alter the course of ignorance that they have set 2 make my people forget what they have done for much 2 long 2 just forget and carry on I had loved u forever because of who u r and now I mourn our fallen star
The Rose That Grew From Concrete
Did you hear about the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete? Proving nature's law is wrong it learned to walk with out having feet. Funny it seems, but by keeping it's dreams, it learned to breathe fresh air. Long live the rose that grew from concrete when no one else ever cared.
~* And Tomorrow *~
Today is filled with anger, fueled with hidden hate. Scared of being outkast, afraid of common fate. Today is built on tragedies which no one wants to face. Nightmares to humanity and morally disgraced. Tonight is filled with rage, violence in the air. Children bred with ruthlessness cause no one at home cares. Tonight I lay my head down but the pressure never stops, knawing at my sanity, content when I'm dropped. But tomorrow I see a change, a chance to build anew, built on Spirit, intent of heart, and ideas based on truth. Tomorrow I wake with second wind and strong ideas of pride. I know I fought with all my heart to keep the dream alive.

When Ur Heart Turns Cold (2 Kristen & My Other Friends Who Wonder)
When your heart turns cold it causes your soul 2 freeze It spreads throughout your spirit like a ruthless feeling disease The walls that once were down now stand firm and tall Safe from hate/love, pain/joy until u feel nothing at all When ure heart turns cold a baby's cry means nothing A dead corpse is trivial Mothers neglecting children is daily Loneliness becomes your routine friend Death seems like tranquility Sleeping is never pleasant if u even sleep at all u forgot ideals and turn off the reason 2 make sure the product gets sold You don't understand how I behave Just wait till your heart turns Cold!

Please wake me when I'm free I cannot bear captivity where my culture I'm told holds no significance I'll wither and die in ignorance But my inner eye can c a race who reigned as kings in another place the green of trees were rich and full and every man spoke of beautiful men and women together as equals War was gone because all was peaceful But now like a nightmare I wake 2 c That I live like a prisoner of poverty Please wake me when I'm free I cannot bear captivity 4 I would rather be sticken blind than 2 live without expression of mind

~What Is It That I Search For~
I know not what I search 4 But I know I have yet 3 find it, Because it is invisible 2 the eye My heart must search 4 it blinded. And if by chance I find it, Will I know my mission is achieved? Can one come 2 conclusions, Before the question is conceived? Just as no one knows what lies beyond the shore, I will never find the answer 2 what it is that I search 4.

A Love Unspoken
What of a love unspoken? Is it weaker without a name? Does this love deserve 2 exist without a title because I dare not share its name Does that make me cruel and cold 2 deny the world of my salvation because I chose 2 let it grow People tend 2 choke that which they do not understand Why shouldn't I be weary and withhold this love from MAN What of a love unspoken no one ever knows But this is a love that lasts and in secrecy it grows
