Have you ever felt alone and you were the only one?
But your in a room full of people,
and only you can see what is really going on..

Your eyes seem to see
What no one else can,
And your mind wants to know
What it don’t understand..

You sometimes feel crazy
Because your thought’s aren’t norm,
You see things and feel things
In all different forms..

Is it only me who sees things this way?
I can feel constant changes every day!
When you try to explain
To your family and friends,
But they look at you like,"huh?!!"
They don’t understand..

Is it a gift
Or is it a curse,
As the things I see
Only get worse.

Your skin shines like silk,
Laid upon a curving stretch.

Your eyes glisten like the stars,
Which my heart, they always catch.

You smile with such joy,
It’s overwhelming with delight.

Your voice is so mesmerizing,
It soothes me through the night.

When everything is quiet,
Is when the loudest words get spoken.

Put your eyes into mine with silence,
You will know that I am not jokin’.

My love for you is still growing,
Like a flower stuck in bloom.

When your around, no need to speak,
I can feel you in the room.

How beautiful you really are,
I could explain all day.

But that would take up all my paper,
For it only to be thrown away.

Have you ever noticed at random
the blank stares of a stranger
as you pass by them and thought back on how crazy
your own life has been
then wondered into thinking
on how their lives went..

Is it better than yours
or possibly worse
another life in the cycle
taking its turn
around and around
in consistent routines
with no time to live
no time to breathe..

Excuse me, do I got your attention?!!

Have you ever recognized or realized
without trying,
the sighs of those crying
or the cries of those dying around you
or maybe even the whispers of those dead
behind you..

Lost, once written
then erased
and re-written again
on a new page
day by day
until the book ends
its like the same stories
over and over
fairy-tales that never begin
just hopes and dreams ending
but yet the story is never over..

Excuse me..
 
So now that I have your attention
I would like to thank you
in appreciation
for allowing me to touch your mind
as well as for any poet or MC
that gets on the mic
because I believe
we all come for the same reason..

In search of enlightenment for the spirit
messages left in the words that we speak
and see, today my message
is we gotta start paying more attention
to everything and everyone around us
someone you know may be close
to giving up
and that acknowledgement alone
just might be what saves them..

So I hope that your paying attention.

Eyes of a lion
Heart of a thug
Soul of an angel
Who’s been sent back to touch

The hearts of the tired
The minds of the weak
The eyes of those blinded
By a leader’s false dreams

You tell me they’re open
So what do you see?
Mass minds in confusion
From the lies they conceive

It’s written in history
A nation founded by thieves
and now we are thankful
For being charged to be free

Oh, you don’t think so
Well they named it Thanks Giving
But why only one day
Everyday we should be thankful

But since we have to pay to eat
It’s like we gotta pay to breathe
and made to work for murdered trees
So we only live to kill the breeze.
