It’s not easy you know
Living from your heart
It’s not easy you know
Being who you are

The world has too many thoughts
About how you should act
The world has too many opinions
On who you should be

It’s not easy don’t you know
To stand out from the crowd
It’s not easy don’t you know
To shout ‘I Am’ out loud

They judge you if you do
What is true for you
They judge you if you don’t
Do what it is they do

It’s not easy let me tell you
Living what you believe
It’s not easy let me tell you
Living the dreams you conceive

But life is not worth living
If not living in your truth
Life’s just not worth living
If you’re living out their dreams

We imagine it’s not easy
Living life from the heart
We imagine it’s not easy
Being who we are

But the truth is life is simple
When you’re playing out your part
The truth is life is easy
Only living from your heart.

Drowning in the four oceans of misery,
Pain, disappointment, guilt and heartache
I’ve brought this on myself and I’m ashamed
I’ve sinned against God and Mankind
How do I put together what I’ve broken?
I’ve poured out my heart with every word spoken.

I prayed for forgiveness and begged for help
My heart is aching and I feel like I’m in hell
You are my destiny, how can you not see?
You helped me through my stormy days
Comforted by the love you’ve shown me.

Come home, oh please come home
My life has no meaning without you
I can’t eat; I can’t sleep all on my own.
I know I’ve done you wrong
But please show some love
Please play your hearts song
Come home, Oh please…
come home.

Every negative word you utter
Slices deep like a dagger
Slowly splitting us apart
As the Blood of the innocent
Spills on the carpet…
Is this what our seed should grow up with?

The beauty that shined deep in your eyes
Now with no heart, it only shows lies
And as your touch turns colder and colder
My heart screams emotional murder!
For every moment that you away
Is as cold as when we lay
You on your side, me on mine..
And tomorrow starts another cold day.

Loved as a baby, grew up as a “loner”
No connection, no place, like a dog without an owner.
Teased for my unusual body structure
To them I was just a joke
The anger that grew inside of me
Took over and consumed all hope.

My parents Bad Habits, added to the pain.
The feeling of being laughed at, made living such a pain.
Although I had some family, the “black sheep” I still remained
My sister felt my heartache, but she couldn’t see MY pain.

My parents made their choices, in which I had to live with
I watched my family crumble, not knowing how to mend it.
And as the years slowly passed, poetry became my heartbeat
With no true friend, I had my pen and that is all I needed.
I’ve turned my back against the world, my gang became my fam.
I’ve played the game and made my name, but still felt lost inside.

My mind was filled with doubt and anger
“Where to now”… I began to wonder.
There’s no place for me in this world of hate
”Dear Lord, please feed my hunger”.
And then I realised, that all that I’ve been through
Was enough to shape my future.
I’ve changed my view as God shaped my life

No longer am I filled with Hate.
And for my future generation I stand, to be a better Man!

My life has been lonely since childhood
My future seemed cold and shattered.
I’ve seen how a loving family could turn cold
And left my brothers and sister scattered.

It was like a dream that turned into a nightmare
Is this how life works out in the end?
Does real, true love break a perfect pair?
And why are there only memories left?

We call ourselves family, but yet it’s hard to talk
We act like commentators at gatherings
Discussing each other’s lives with no remorse.

From moms side to dads side
Family injected with lies.
Where does the politics end?
Can anybody here our innocent cries?

We fuss and moan, we judge and hate
The innocent sits on the fence.
Why can’t we live as one? Forgive before it’s too late!
Or have we already planned our fate?

The test of life’s deepest oceans has finally arrived.
Back strokes potent as poison ivy.
For past love and embrace my heart strived
But between false pretences it slowly died.

They got pretend shields with ‘Gods’ name on it,
Yet they descend as low as the devils heart
Attacking the walls which protects my heart in it.
Causing pain and no options to mend it.

They shatter our image with pleasure in their eyes.
Feeding a burning endless fire.
Beyond the wasteland lays our hearts innocent cries
Unsuspecting, “revenge” well revised.

Behold, my destiny is fully planed out
Although my eyes have never seen it.
Success be my motto there’s no place for doubt.
Restoration with God we seek before drought

I promised myself not to cry
But look in your eyes, tension between your eyebrows
Tells me something is wrong
My nest is not safe in the storm
I see a pencil heel and a skirt in your eyes
Same place I used to see my picture few days back
I know where your heart is, it’s not in our nest anymore
I don’t know when our nest become only my nest and you become just a visitor
I know this place doesn’t comfort you anymore
You wana fly away.
I wonder what went wrong
For me still it’s just me and you making us, but
I can see your eyes changing
My heart sinks when I think about our nest and incoming storm
But I promised myself not to cry,
So I won’t cry, even if it hurts.

I stayed up reminiscing all night
Thinking about the long fights cold

I want the whole world to hear
Just don’t know if it’s the truth you can bear

What you have done left me in a condition
But the voices drives me to a solution

I am struggling to find my currency
You’ve left a bitter after taste of what we could be having currently

U scorched my heart on the ground
Feeling that screech like a train would stop

Spatting residues of ash into my eyes
Forcing a smile expecting my soul to rise

The inevitable venom in your heart I preserved…..
For the love we both knew you never deserved……

If I could have all the money,
I would feed all the hungry,
Make life easier for the needy,
Replace all the shacks and RDPs

If I could have all the power,
I would make every CEO work every hour,
to reduce the office drama-
within the taxpayers towers.

If I could have all the will,
I would assist my wife with the chicken grill,
for her heart needs to heal
…and to show my goodwill

If I could have all the love,
I would be proud and patient with every all the kids,
Unconditionally appreciate with every heart beat
If I could, I would Passionately give all of the above.
