"BEYOND THE GAME"

-
If it's lost I couldn't continue,
To give up the game,
I can never,
Even if it costs me you.

I'll never give it up,
Cause before you were in my life,
The game was there before,
Not months,

Am talking years,
After years,
It never left me,
The memories legendary,
To part ways now imaginary,

Never one to hold on to the past,
But the game,
Is the only good thing about it,
The only thing that stands out,
The only thing that remains.

The only thing that brought me joy,
In a joyless world,
Where pain was all I felt, 
The game,
Changed my fate.

And brought me great wealth,
When I had nothing,
When no door was open, 
The game gave me one. 

So to give it up,
I can never,
To leave it behind,
Imaginary.

So if you hope to leave me,
On this dark night,
The door is opened,
But hope you're
Not consumed by the darkness 
That lies and wait.

For if you
Truly love me,
The game,
You will embrace.

"JEWELS"

-
Shining and glamorous,  But none compare's, To the smile on your face,  I wonder why you're not famous. But I'm glad I have you all to myself,  My one, my only, The jewels of the world I have none, By your expressions, priceless. I cannot live without, My dreams, My desires, Revolve around you,  But you do not look too pleased, A sense of uncertainty I see, I can't talk about my feelings, But I try to express them in my actions  My heart, You hold the keys, And I don't know where it lies, So in your hands, I lay my head. Till you find the keys, I'm yours,  Always and forever.

"CONFIDENCE"

-
The evidence of my confidence Lies in my innocence. My area of residence, I give precedences And show acceptance To those with diligence. Have no room for negligence, Show indifference to my opposition. Don't give a damn About the condition. Close my eyes, show no conviction. Walk with confidence In this world, my residence. With an empowered mindset And a silent presence, I stand and watch Those cower in fear. I am reminded Of my past self, Broken and driven By fear. But out of the shadows, A new presence resides. I wasn't born with it, It was something I had to learn, Something I now teach. Though hidden, My confident stride Can never be taken.

"UNSPOKEN"

-
Don't ask a question unless you want a confession. I'm tired of all this aggression. Don't you know my reputation? Look at me, I'm not at my prime, Just trying to pass time. So I write a couple lines, and they say that's a crime. They say I'm wrong, that I should stop singing my song. Don't they know my words are tender? Ain't playing games, ain't a sender. I profess my love and confess my sins. Yet am drowning in my own skin, Trying so hard to be free, Trying so hard to be me, After years of going unseen. Here I stand speaking my truth, Telling my tale, To those in the shadows, Those unknown. Cause I have outgrown, The stage they reside, The pain, Unspoken.
