Rooting for success while the rain keeps damaging what's left of the roof that I call my sanctuary, sometimes a heart can be cruel because life has only taught one to survive and not to be loved, the only happy memories I have in my mind are of me as a minor, smiling for sweets.

The only time hands were clapped in my home, our eyes were glued to a tv screen during wrestling episode, I haven't done much to regret but my life feels like a tunnel of regrets, you'd be surprised how could one drawn in debts while having better financial education, everything will be okay has replaced our daily prayer.
...

Naked truth can be unbearable, it should be traded with intimacy
I failed to stop taking off my cloths to strangers until there's evidence
Who could've thought, a child in my name?
What will become of me? Or the later
...

Women don't know the evil they might do
My child was denied the right to life before birth
With respect to our ladies
I won't tell you whether to give birth or not
...

Unfolding expansion
I learned the currency language
And my flows ain't nothing but wind
Arrogant was once on my path
...

Wind making sounds, moving anything that could be shaken
Skirmish always grow to be a real big deal
And there I was chasing the speed of water
Without nothing to live for
...

I'd say you've stolen my heart, but can an abandon heart be stolen? while no one else seems to care for? I'd be a man who's clueless when it comes to unconditional love, if you didn't love me dearly!

It's funny how I ended up with my fantasy, we share the same affection which can't be measured but our love grows every breath we take. Where no time waits for no one, we collided in a circle of emotions and emptiness be filled with love and joy.
Not always I've met people who understood that I never had anything that I can call my own, but when it pours you were next to me. Your love is the only thing I can hold on to, no matter what! you'll always be in my heart!
...

When your soul leaves your body, I wasn't aware, but I heard your footsteps deep in my heart. All I wanted was to trade my life for you, but the decision wasn't mine to take. Why we undulating acquiring belongings and grooming ourselves if it won't be needed to the other side.

What's death to life? when roses appear to be beautiful at first hand but eventually die. I was that kid who would only cross the road when held by hand. As I once bear the burden of crossroads, surely my grief won't take my life.
...

Both had lovers of their own
And she knew, she was his mistress
For he felt it too
Who would have known
...

We used to have a tale of dreams, then those who first licked the reward of their sweat, made us to feel less than what we were, not because we didn't mount to anything but because they have fear that we'll be greater than them.

My future was judged before I unveiled my desires, terribly by someone who inherited nothing from birth, thoughts visit me 'why should one compete with me, don't I deserve better' but I guess greed works in mysterious ways.
