I’m exposed to the worse type of individuals but endured the best
I’ve seen every malicious act from envy and betrayal
Acknowledge death for what it is and still move forward
My bumps and bruises will all heal
...

Love was never an open ended friend that I could trust
It was always an illusion brought on by the deepening of lust
They say you should never base your trust on what lies in the past
But then they also say you should never let it go too fast
...

Sometimes the pain of insecurities
Runs deep into your entity
Extinguishing your serenity
Traveling through the sands of your existence
...

My mind is distorted by reoccurrences of past experiences
Somehow the sight of my own reflection increases my loneliness
I found myself coming in and out of this conscious state
Contemplating while debating hoping one day to be free of my ways
...

You came in my life at a time
When I knew the lonely would never end
I didn’t even care to change it
With alone I was content
...

I should be studying now but for that I'm uninspired
I should have my head in the book yet for that I'm feelin tired
I should have started the lesson for completion but I don’t know where to begin
I should have stayed focused on my mission so that when I'm up to fight I win
...

When you look to the stars, what do you see?
I see a whole lot; do you think you can feel me?
A shining eternity, so far that it’s near,
Nothing is real, what you see, what you hear.
...

Would it be selfish of me to blind the world so another man could never envision you
Would it be selfish of me to only share the air you breathe so you would never be contaminated by the impurities of the world?
Would it be selfish of me to stop time only for you to live another second
Would it be selfish of me to wish I was your hands so I could touch you as frequently as possible?
...

Like a flower blooming amidst the snow
Or a single leaf in the wind as it blows

A wave of sound across the sky
...

Life - so chaotic as it twists and it turns.
Like being bare foot in the sand as it burns.
...

Love is explained as honesty, happiness and joy
Life contradicts it by the spoils of war
Love precedes it with honor and commitment
Life tells it be careful and don’t trust it
...

Looking into your eyes, I see life as a newborn first being delivered
With such innocence and delicateness I grab hold bringing you close to my heart
Praying everyday that I lead you in the right path
Hoping to never mislead the true nature of your womanhood but identifying your soul
...

Two different people from two different worlds,
Two separate moments one love unfurls
There’s nothing like passion, unending desire,
There’s nothing like a love from a spark to a fire
...

The distilled weary look you give me, when I say come here
Tense to the point of cracking your own reflection
Your eyes burn full of sorrow and cry
Your soul seems to be as dead as a fog streaming across a grave
...

U can’t seem to know a person’s self if your clouded by your own emotions
Recognize my pain but acknowledge my heart still loves
My greatest success is my failures, my development came from love
But does my weakness and unsettle times determine my soul
...

It’s a undoubting feeling that churns deep inside
It’s the rebirth or metamorphous that wants life
How can you explain the unnatural or things you can’t control
Why it’s presence are so powerful everybody wants to grab hold
...

I’m tryin to express my love to you
Tell me what I need to do
As I begin to open up
As u take a closer look
...

Yeah I know loving me was never easy
One minute I’m happy and the next I’m worried
All these unexpected emotions is like a roller coaster
Only this time it’s like us riding blind folded
...

What keeps me so close to you?
Is it the endless rain drops?
Or my falsetto of echoes whispering continuously
Caressing your ear drums
...

Controversy has always been my story
From everyday living, leaving Islam converting into a Christian
I knew standing on my two feet would cause catastrophe and heat
Still I pushed aside my pride while holding in my cries
...
