Wages of War
Hezekiah Jackson
Never saw it coming The pain that sting a lifetime Torment that never ends But increases as time passes A broken heart That never heals You've been abandoned Time after time Father Friends Loved ones No one ever stays Those that did Trapped and destroyed what little you had left Alone Discarded No one wants a person that's..... Broken Spiritually Emotionally Physically stressed I tried to be the ideal person Smile Laugh Help The strain to simply hold it together When it's as if I'm dying to do so Every smile Runs 20 miles Every laugh Suffocates To pretend as if I'm okay When World War 1 and 2 rages inside Don't pretend to understand To help, assist There's nothing you can possibly do The expression of this pain Shows the severity of my damage Anxiety and affliction That conquered the elements of my humanity Confidence Love Joy Peace And proclaimed them prisoners of war A war for the essence of my being A war I cannot win I've lost too much Sacrificed so much Yet nothing works How do one end the cycle of affliction Something that kills you from the inside

وردةٌ قبِيحة
تُومِي.
و مَا الّذي يجعلُ مصطلحُ الوردة قبِيحة؟ -مَا الّذي تنتظرهُ من وردةٍ واجهت ريَاح عاتية ؛ وتُربة قَاحلة و بتلَاتٍ منهَا قَد ترَاخت أرضًا ، مَا الّذي ستصبحهُ برأيك؟

Forgiveness
МОРГАН РЕЙ
If it wasn't for you, I would have fought the wall to the pain. If you weren't mine, I'd die every night from losing blood. If it wasn't for your faith, I'd have given up a long time ago. If it were my will, I would stay with you forever. If you'd gone, I'd have been the old emptiness. You would have taken my heart, and instead of it there was an empty aperture. If it wasn't for you, I'd blazed in forgiveness. Would have burned to ashes, until ground, I would have until the last healing.
