Tales From My Imagination

NOT UP TO YOUR EXPECTATIONS

I didn’t know I was living for you
At least that’s what you think
And I still wonder what did I do
To push you over the brink
Was it something I said?
Was it something I did?
You messed with my head
But I’m not your kid
I opened myself up
That was a mistake
Now everything’s fucked
This I’m not going to take
I’m living life for me
So you don’t approve
But this is all I can be
What do you want me to do?
You stabbed me in the back
That I’ll never understand
Actions can’t be taken back
Done by your own hand
Don’t wish me peace
That’s not what you want
You only want to see
Me have feelings that haunt
You keep on talking
But for me I’m done
I’ll keep on walking
Until the setting of the sun.

RISE, WOMAN, RISE

The birth of nations came through you
You're stronger than armies, this is true
Without you, civilization will come to a close
You deserve respect much more than those
Who claim to have power but they really have none
With you comes the rising and setting of the sun
You are mothers, sisters, aunts, cousins and wives
Never settle for less, woman, continue to rise
Reach for the stars and continue to grow
An aura of knowledge and beauty surrounds you with a glow
All should bow to you like royalty on one knee
But sadly in this world this is not what we see
No matter what, no one will crush your spirit inside
You're beautiful and strong woman, continue to rise.
No matter what look, color, shape or country you reside
You're beautiful and strong woman, continue to rise.

WARRIORS OF LIGHT

We are the warriors of light, for mother earth we fight
Our swords strike for her glory, our swords spark in the night
We are the watchers who listen to carry out her commands
And do our best to protect her sacred lands
No longer will she be beaten and abused
And treated as nothing and used
By a society that couldn't care less for her
As they continue to hurt and mistreat her
Her tears stain the land as now she only cries
As her children are cut down and her animals die
And caged up in chains for cruel entertainment
The pleasure of the people is at her expense
We hear you mother, your silent cries through the night
We must act now warriors, we are the keepers of life.

WILL I EVER?

Will I ever find that someone
Who understands I'm weird
Will I ever find that someone
That makes me think clear
Is there someone out there
That could be my queen
Someone that cares
The woman of my dreams?
Will I always be alone
Feeling so depressed?
Wandering without a home
In this world feeling stressed?
Will there ever be a soulmate
To take away this pain?
Or will dying alone be my fate
As sadness drops on me like rain?
Will I ever find true love
Or just embrace this misery
I guess my hole is dug
For the rest of my history
I just have to get used to it
And take it like bitter medicine
I'm alone, feeling like shit
As depression messes with my head again.

RUDE AWAKENING

She was in my dreams again
I keep asking, why me?
I always get tortured in the end
Of what can never be
I wish so much this could be true
But not in this lifetime
I wake up feeling lonely and blue
Because she's not by my side
Silly thoughts and silly dreams
It will never happen
It's sunny but for me it seems
That the skies always blacken.

CUTTING THE PAIN AWAY

“Hey you, you’re a worthless piece of shit!”
Those words hurt worse than any hit
“Oh my God look at you, you’re so fucking ugly!”
Yes, that’s why no girl will ever love me
“Stop eating, look at you you’re too fat!”
Yes, I know, please stop calling me that
“You’re nothing, you’ll always be worthless!”
I deserve to be wiped from the earth’s surface
I walk home alone, with tears in my eyes
Feeling like nothing, I just want to die
There’s only one thing that will feel just right
I open a drawer and take out the knife
I’m not going to kill myself just slice my skin
To release the pain that’s held within
The pain feels so sweet, it just takes away
All of the words that were said to me today
Another cut, it stings but the words are worse
At least I feel now, I don’t feel like a curse
It feels so much better than feeling so numb
And being ignored by almost everyone
Cut my pain away, give me my relase
I’m cutting my pain away, so I can have peace.

THOSE EYES

Those eyes, I want to turn away from but I can't
Her beautiful eyes have stopped me cold
My pulse increases and I start to pant
Her eyes have touched my soul
I don't know what to do or what to say
Her eyes can make a strong person feel so weak
I look into them and the world seems okay
But I'm still too nervous to even speak
Does she even know the power she has over me
For her honor I would be ready to go to war
I would do that with a sword and shield proudly
Because she it truly worth fighting for
I try to stay cold, I try not to let feelings show
But looking into her eyes all I can do is feel
If she kissed me, I would be lost forever, I know
She makes this dream of life seem so real.
