WHEN LIFE TAKES IT TOLL...
RATTLES YOU TO AND FRO..
STAMPING YOUR FEELINGS AND YOUR DREAMS..
NEVER INTENDING TO BE MEAN..
ITS ONLY PREPARING YOU TO UNDERSTAND..
A WORLD YOULL NEVER KNOW.
YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED IN..
THAT PLACE CALLED HAPPINESS.


YOU HELP PEOPLE BY..
MAKE SURE THEIR LIVES FEEL SAFE..
HELP THEM LIVE THEIR DREAMS..
LEADING THEM TO A PLACE
YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED IN..
THAT PLACE CALLED HAPPINESS..

THINGS ARE CAREFULLY LAID ESCHEW
LAYING PATHS TO PLACES FOR YOU
BUT THERES ONE THING THAT U SHOULD KNOW..
ABOUT A PLACE THESE PATHS WILL NEVER GO..
BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED IN..
THAT PLACE CALLED HAPPINESS..

U THINK YOUR DEEDS ARE ABOUNDING..
YOUR CHARACTER IS RESOUNDING..
NO MATTER WHAT YOU THINK
LIFE SHOULD HAVE INSTORE FOR U..
ONE THING WILL STAY CONSTANT
ONE THING WILL ALWAYS BE THE TRUTH
YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED
IN...
THAT PLACE CALLED HAPPINESS..

shouldve been

im the kind of guy u know..
that will give my all to the one..
make her happy
in every want and need
hoping one day to be on bended knee..
but theres only one problem
you see..
ima shouldve been...

it seems no matter what i do..
my talents go unseen..
my positive actions end to no avail..
i get overlooked and pushed aside..
struck down while at half stride..
i understand the story is the same..
cuz..
ima shouldve been..

i just wanna be there to give u a massage..
after a long day..
show you how much i love you..
in every single way..
to hold you tightly..
when your having a bad day..
but this will never be...
i understand..
ima shouldve been..

one thing i can tell u about the Sun..
she was an older and beautiful one..
she told me i was too young..
a few years later..
when lives have been lived and i was far over looked..
she realized..
i shouldve been the one..

not much different from the Stars..
she seemed to orbit my night sky..
seemed to tell me so truthfully..
so many lies..
she didn't care about me
she was just out to have fun..
after the long party..
and the last drink was done..
she realized..
i shouldve been the one..

but the Moon..yes..
such a georgeous thing..
fooled me with her many faces..
at times when my nights were so dark.
she shined so brightly..like the sun..
but i was so nieve to believe.
that she was the same..
once the night was done.
she would only show me..
her shining moments..
the parts i would really adore..
right b4 the shining sun....
such a pitiful whore..
but i was blinded by a light.
that seemed to come from another way..
it wasn't the light of my moon..
needless to say..
i showered her with diamonds..
i showered her with jewels..
but most of all..i showered her with my love..
because i was such a fool..
i hate that im so stupid..
as to keep falling into her trap..
but i know that one day will come..
just as the Stars have faded into the day..
and the night overtook the Sun....
the Moon too..
will realize..

i shouldve been the one..

The Cycle

Confusion, like a Picasso painting,
pieces to the puzzle scattered around,
behind me the dawn looks over my shoulder.
I look upon the storm, chaos fills me.
Trapped like and animal inside a cage.
My mind can see the colors of the dawn,
But my cheeks are wet with the falling rain.
I close my eyes to the sound of the book
as he closes it with no bookmarked page.
Burning red pain sears my chest, clogs my brain,
The words of my mouth lose all meaning,
I truly know what it means to be alone,
Doomed to repeat cupid's time-line. The arrow,
a broken trust, unclouded lust, and end.
