What I Can't God Will

MY TEMPER FLARES WHEN THE HEAT GOES UP.

IT’S LIKE A GAS STOVE.

FLICK THE RIGHT SWITCH AND I COULD BLOW.

WHEN I CAN’T PUT YOU INTO WORDS,

WHEN I FAIL,

WHEN YOU LOOK FOR THE WRONG IN ANYTHING RIGHT.

IT’S HARD BEING ME

WHEN I WISH I COULD MAKE THE WORLD REVOLVE THE WAY I WISH IT TO, SEE?

I SEE FLAWS AND I WISH I COULD FIX THEM

BUT I DON’T HAVE THE POWER,

I DON’T HAVE THE SKILL.

I CAN’T OPEN YOUR EYES…

BUT GOD WILL. YaSaBa

DID YOU KNOW WHAT WHEN YOU’RE UNHAPPY

YOUR BODY HURTS

IF YOU LISTEN HARD ENOUGH YOU CAN HEAR IT POUNDING AGAINST YOUR SKIN IN PROTEST TO CHANGE

TO PROTECT IT FROM THE PAIN

OH, IF YOU LISTEN!

LISTEN WITH YOUR HEART

YOUR THROAT HURTS AND YOUR PALMS ITCH

YOUR PULSE ONLY QUICKENS BECAUSE

YOUR VERY BONES QUAKE

THEY KNOW WHAT THEY NEED AND THEY DON’T NEED PAIN.

YOUR NOSTRILS QUIVER BECAUSE THE VERY AIR IS TOXIC.

THE ATMOSPHERE IT ISN’T FRESH- REFRESHING SO YOUR LUNGS CONSTRICT.

THAT’S WHY YOUR ARMS CROSS OVER CHEST

TO PROTECT YOUR VERY SOUL.

IT’S THE ONLY WAY TO GET THROUGH.

CONQUER THE SORROW AND CONTINUE TO LIVE… GROW OLD.                YASABA

Just a Text

I have this yearning for a person who gets further and further away with time

Either it’s his fault

Or it’s mine

But blame aside, the distance grows

And yet, I’ve time to wonder what he really knows.

Oh my mind will bear it much longer

as the desire grows stronger

When it should start to falter

Even his silence cannot alter

The emotions under the surface

A single short message will suffice

To pump new blood to my head, heart and start a new cycle of

Dreamless nights and fancy in day

Were we to come face to face now, I wonder just what kind of game we’d play. YaSaBa 

Not So Young Today

My eyes often burn
My hands shake, but not too much
My back aches and is never settled
The body I once knew is fading away
My hair has long since begun to turn grey
You would think I'm old

Still in my prime and yet so far from what I desire
to be

Vibrant and happy
Fresh and unafraid
Strong and on top of the world.

Listen to me talk...
Watch my labored walk...
I sigh like I've seen and been through it all...
I have loved and lived enough for a hundred lifetimes...
I have learnt lessons and have the scars of all my burns...

If you didnt already know who I am,
You would think I'm old
