Beautiful Words of Art

Breaking out I’m tearing off my mask Showing the sun my true face Releasing the shy angel within My days of hiding in the shadows are over The world has been denied my true self My gifts, my talents, my inventions, my ideas All bound by unbreakable chains of fear Sealed from seeing the light, from contributing to society I’m breaking out of my jail; I'm breaking from this fetter My oppressors will reign no more; I will run free forever My fears will tumble at my sight; they will seek shelter My world will wake to a new case: a new ruler The baggage of my failures taunts; they're dragging me They're scary, yes they're but I'm braver, I'm stronger; I'm breaking out A grand adventure awaits; I need to explore the world Make mistakes, maybe, learn from them and steer my future My past is history, yet unforgotten  Serving only as a guide for a better tomorrow I’m coming out of my hellhole; I'm no longer trapped This world will see me, my t

I’m at the crossroads; on the highway of a dilemma Thinking of everything yet nothing I’m biting my nails;  sinking in an ocean of thought My mind is ever roaming; seeking the perfect nursery I have a question on my heart; an answer I need A defining answer that will determine my path  Yet something is holding me back; I’m dragging my feet I'm scared; I fear I may not hear the sweet tune of the answer I seek I’m nothing; I'm no one, I have no name I hide in the dark, I wear a mask; I shy from light I hide behind a curtain; a veil I created; a seal to bind me I’m shy of my reflection; I’m scared of her rejection I'm not the man of dreams; I’m not a golden athlete in the Olympics  Am not a knight from a noble family Nor a gentleman with a fortune to his name Neither am I hero; a brave warrior of infinite victories My pile of imperfections over run the Nile; I’m an adjective for every wrong I cheated, I lied; I lied while smiling; through the skin of my teeth

Are you in middle of nowhere? Indecisive about which path to take? Flipping a coin or tossing dice; praying to hear from the diviner? Is something holding your thought, freezing your legs Is there log in your way; a boulder in your tunnel What is sinking you to the depth? Are you waiting for a magic wand or a silky road? Are you dreaming of the wishing star? The deafening trumpets of Jericho maybe? Are you scared of licking the bitter bile of defeat? Are you scared of losing or just too lazy to move? My dear friend, I dare you take that bold step, step into the unknown The winds will always whisper; howling your failures, whistling your success  Chest out, move out, speak your heart out; I dare you Like the eye of a hurricane the stormy vultures will circle the skies And like the opened gates of hell, a horde of troubles will rage your way But my dear friend; in weakness find strength In death find life, in poverty, riches; face your demons square   I dare you; move o

My clothes are tattered; my tongue dry I walk the street; I roam the nights; I talk myself to sleep I kiss the dirt; I dine with the swine My journey never ends; my story ever unfolding I’m a madman in these streets, a man without a name A soldier without a home fighting for an invisible cause  I stalk the flies; I clap my hands hoping to catch the skies I dance to the winds; I love this melody I gaze the noon sun; my eyes burn but I am not bothered I have no shoes, no comfort, no shelter just a beating heart  My home is on the road, the moon my pillow The nights chilly breeze my blanket, I feel the cold within The world thinks me a nut case, a mad man Without a shred of dignity; without a penny to my name  My make believe valuables laid bare for the world to see My back scorched by the itching laughter of passing children Don’t judge me before you hear my story; before you live my life You only see a mad man; but I see a desperate man in the mirror A man trying to f

This world cries; she screams in agonising pain She weeps without end; her tears flows like the four rivers of Eden Pain and vengeful sorrow stalk her children; cruelty rains on them She bleeds in pain, her nose is runny and her tears are blood What is happening to my beautiful home? What is happening to the paradise our fore father’s left? What manner of evil has flooded my streets, corrupted my brothers? When will the pain and sorrows seize, when shall we laugh again? The streets are cruel and dark; ever stalked by scavengers and owls Poor orphans walk the streets, dinning on the cramps ferried by the winds Chilly cold nights shelter head potters; with plastic sheets as cover cloths  At the mercy of the elements; at the mercy of miscreants; at the mercy rain and dew The earth cries, she screams in agonising pain Miners digging the earth, scratching her eyes; bleeding her for gold Polluting the waters; turning my crystal clear rivers into filthy muddy streams   Poacher

I’m losing my mind but I still wearing a smile I’m drowning in the Nile but I’m still singing high I’m naked in the blizzard but I’m still warm The volcanos are erupting but I can’t be bothered My heart is in the right place, my soul in the right vault I have a sizeable quantity of masked troubles But my blessings cannot be listed My eyes sing with joy, my heart smile with laughter  Call me crazy in these rocky times I have more reasons to weep A millions troubles to break down and cry like a baby  But I’m still wearing a smile, happier than ever  My blessings eclipse the noon sun Like water they do not struggle to flow Their shine is  not concealable And they scream louder than the thunderous storms I have a reason to smile in winter I have a reason to waltz on burning coal I have a stronger reason to burst my heart open I have a reason to watch the stars; to touch fireflies Call me crazy but I ain’t the least bothered Your words don’t tickle, itch nor bite I h

He laid on his back in his bed Eyes wide open, gazing at the stars up ahead All the while he struggled to keep his mind focused But thoughts of her still scurried relentlessly in his head He wondered why she was so close but yet too far to reach As though an invisible wall had been placed between them Too tough, too strong, almost impossible to breach He lay there amazed at the way she smiles when listening to the corny jokes he utters as they speak And when she laughs, a wave of warmth always washed him over from his head, down to his feet Who is this girl he's thinking about you ask? A very good friend, a sister, one you would hardly find or meet She tossed and turned in her bed Unfortunately with no stars to gaze upon up ahead Like him, her thoughts wavered too A night for pondering it would seem As though by chance or even fate she also had him in her head Initiated by a dream, she was with him in a park They talked, they laughed, they walked around alot And
