Atlas

Atlas, oh Atlas
I have been blessed
With the strength of two of you
But unfortunately I have strayed
Too close to the sun
Out of time, I am out of time
Only a few grains remain in my hour glass
And living in this very moment
I will bask in it like it is my very last
These moments are for family
These moments are for friends
My world has rested on your shoulders
You have been there for me
Even as I reach my end....

Giants

Anger sits on my chest and dictates my moves nothing you say
can make it go away. David had Goliath but I can’t slay my giants,
knowing I should walk away instead I choose to stay. I know God
said be slow to anger but the further I am from that, the closer I am to danger
no stranger I am to this concept. I try too hard to mold you, like a deck of
cards seems too easy to just fold you and start from scratch. I attach emotions
from the past and hang it from you never even giving a chance. As this wrath
has its dance but maybe I could romance with the thought of peace, peace of mind
peace of heart, married to this anger till death do us part?

My Brothers Keeper

Am I my brothers keeper?
Yes I am
I'll protect my own
I'll kill my fellow man for my brother
His family is my own
If he has not
Then mine shall become his home
Am I my brothers keeper?
Yes I am
If he passes before his son grows
Then I will teach him to become a man
If he leaves this earth before his daughter grows
Then I will tell her that everyday she is a queen
Am I my brothers keeper
Yes I am....

Beautiful Mystery

For every enemy, there exists misery.. For every hater, there exists elevation. What is life without stress? What is stress without substance? What is substance without content? A beautiful mystery to which a key is given only to find variation.. So i’m disowned? Okay, the disownees obviously failed to conduct proper research. U c, alien has been my name for many moons and will be for many more. I care not about the twisted looks of those that desire my demise specially since it will reach them first. I’m here until my time has been concluded and ne n question need only look up to find as much as myself. So kill it cause i’m done.. Ne further inquires can be addressed as you plummet..

My Apologies

I'd like to say that I'm sorry my love cause I haven't been giving my all lately and I understand why you hate me. I been so caught up with my ambitions and dreams that I pushed your needs behind when they should have been right next to mine. Am I asking you to forgive me for falling short on my duties? That would be the farthest from the truth and if you wanted to hold everything against me then I'll understand that to.

I still love you even though sometimes it doesn't seem like I do. I can't even explain how I feel when I cross over the threshold of our home and I see your beautiful face with all its grace asking questions about my day and helping me relax from a long day. I been a little detached lately with all the things I've let bombard my mind even when I'm with you. I can't apologize enough because I can't even imagine the emotional distress I've put you through.

For it to take a turn like this was very unexpected. To tell you that I did it all for you would be the farthest thing from the truth. I know I still need you beside me but my ego tends to override my better judgment and tells me there is no one else in this world that lives with my troubles but me. I still love and cherish you and when I'm far from home I reminisce about the day I proposed to you. My apologies for the turmoil I've put you through and I pray that once again I get lost in your eyes and end up where I belong which is right next to you.
