Pursuit of Happiness

Neva knew something this common wud be so hard 2 find
Neva thought something so simple wud be so complex in my mind
Something everyone craves
but very few get 2 experience
Something ive came close to grasping
but cud rarely get near it
Something so practical
but yet so magical
Something you cant describe
Something you cant deny
Not really physical
but something so visible
Something that has truly
eluded me my whole life
Something i think about
almost every night
How do obtain something
thats so right
How can i see something
thats not visible
How can i feel something
thats not physical
How can i find something
when i dont know where to look
When i look at other people
and see for them, how long it took
I cudnt help but wonder
when will it be my turn?
and then anotha question dawned on me.....
will i eva be Happy?

Losing My Way

When I look in my eyes its my pain that glows
I don't understand how it seems no one still knows
Because through my heart hatred flows
And its the love that goes
No matta how hard I try to slow it
I still manage to show it
I kno my name
But I don't kno who I am
Cuz i'm not the person I used to be
I'm not the person people used to see
So i'm tryna find a way to change it
Or somehow rearrange it
But I can't seem to cage it
Cuz the rage don't wanna stay in
Its been held in for too long
And now I can see it was wrong
To try and hold it in
Cuz since it cudnt leave
Its home has been in me
So now I'm tryna fight it
My fear I tried to hide it
My tongue I tried to bite it
But it didn't wanna stay quiet
And then it began to riot
And gave me fuel and fire
and bridges began to burn
And I can't turn back,
no I can't u turn
Cuz its like a one way street
And I lost control of my feet
And I'm goin down this path
That seems won't eva pass
And I'm moving so fast
It seems I'm loosing my past
Bcuz the road has gotten so dark
All I need is a light
to lead me thru the night
Cuz I can't fight what I can't see
I can't fight what's within me
So I'm tryna get it all out
B4 my time runs out
but at what cost
What would I lose
How could I choose
Don't kno what to do
Cuz this overflow of anger
Is only leading to danger
Jus tryna avoid the day
when I become a complete stranger

"Life"

We live in a world of imperfections
A world where things aren't always as they seem
A place that believes in equal but seperate
And doesn't care about anyones dreams
A place that covers your eyes with an invisible cloth of lies
And no matter how hard you try
You jus can't seem to break free
Its because they only let you see
What they want you to see
And what you see is the world in perfect harmony
Full of joy and carefree
Love and togetherness
And now this way you'll miss
All the problems out people face
So now you can't achieve success in life
And the only way to stop this is if we put up a fight
Fight them by uncovering our real eyes
So we can realize
The real lies
And expose them for what they really are
This way we can break free from this life behind "bars"
This life in a "cage"
This life full of rage
This life where we can't get along
This life where nothing but negative conclusions are drawn
When they look at our face
This life where we're not judged by our skills or character
But rather by our race
This life where we have to deal with being treated as inferior
Because of what's on outside and not the interior
This life where we're stuck in a maze
Stuck in this phase
Stuck in this age of "segregation" and hate
This life where we can't escape the past
So then people wonder, how long will it last?
How long do we have to be opressed?
How long do we have to fight?
How long do we have to live in this thing we call life?

On to the next one.....

Now this next one ima post has the same title of the previous one. Its entitled "life", but its very different from the one before it. I wrote this one about three years ago and i decided to post it because its very personal to me. So im going to share it with the rest of you. Leave some comments please.

Life???

All these thoughts running through my mind
As I sit here and try to find
The right words to define
The meaning of life
And the more I sit and concentrate
And let my thoughts contemplate
The more it seems to complicate
My whole perception of life
Because if my life is controlled by fate
Then I can't control
this certain state
My life is in
Or when my lifes to end
But if I'm supposed to have a destiny
Then is God really testing me
And sending his blessings
In the form of lifes lessons
To see if i really utilize them
Or try to deny them
And let fate take control
And jus wait to see how my life unfolds?
If not
Then what is the plot
Of my life that fate has drew up
Why does everything in my life seem to screw up
And since I can't control it
Am I supposed to jus give up
And fall down
Or should I believe I have a destiny
And that God is really blessing me
And that I can overcome
And survive until my struggles are done
And live a joyous life
Free of pain
Free of rain
And let my life shine
A life so divine
I don't think anyone will ever find the true meaning of life
But when it comes to mine there's no more questions in me
Cuz I kno ill fufill my destiny

Does Life really have a definition?

Ok guys. This next one im going to post is about trying to find a meaning to life. I was sitting down and thinking one night and the thought just popped up in my head. "Why do we live here on earth"? "What is our purpose hear"?. So i began writing to see if i could clarify some of things. So comment on this next one and let me know what u think....

Dreamer

I got a dream strong enuf 2 get me out my situation
But it might be 2 strong where I can't come 2 realization
That it cud be real
But sometimes it feels
Like its sitting right here
So I pray dear God
Please give me the strength
To go ahead and handle this
And sometimes I wish
I had a genie 2 grant me my evry wish
But he'll probably get upset when he says
I only have three and I hand him a list
And I used 2 reminisce on the times when I was kid
And realize those are the memories I miss
Cuz I had no struggles and pain
And no worries but all hopes 2 reach fame
And evrybody knowing my name
But damn
I'm saying
Right now its so lame
To sit back and dream about the fortune and fame
But I can't worry about the rest of the world
Cuz now I'm grown
So I gotta go out and get my own
Its time to stand up and see the light
Man up and don't worry about how hard and long ima have to fight
Cuz in my sight
I can see
My reward clearly
And I barely
See anyway I can fail
If I strive 2 be the head
And stop tryna fit in wit the tail
Cuz no matter how big my dream is
I still have hope and faith
So I cud no longer wait
Or this mediocrity will be my fate

Declaration to Write

The doorway to my heart
And the outlet to my thoughts
The spoken words of my soul
The secrets from inside that no one knows
My emotion flows from my pen
Like the spring breeze blows or the summer wind
But then again
When I stop and think
It flows more like the paint
From a painters brush
So I must
Be an artist
And my paper
Must be my canvas
But when my train of thought
Gets stuck on the tracks
Its like evrything else is jus held back
And my whole world turns black
In fact
Its like nothing else matters
Cuz if my thoughts can't gather
Then I wud rather
be left without a conscience
And jus lay here and die
Bcuz I cant be myself
If no one knows how I felt
And I can't be me
If no one can see
Where I'm coming from and who I plan 2 be
And where I'm destined 2 be
And if I can't speak free
I can't live happily
Knowing I'm hiding inside of a shell
Falling so deep down this well
Until I fell
So deep that's its like I'm living in hell
And that's something I wud neva succumb 2
And I don't kno what I wud come 2
If I didn't have my pen and pad
I guess as long as I have them though
Thing cud neva be that bad
