Knock or Patch the Roof

-
I have a mind that screams in silence. 
My favorite past time is coming face to face with the void, understanding the blank spaces. 
Contemplating between truly living than mere existence. 
Aimless and adrift.

I’m breathing ice and fire at the same time.
If a finger had to be cut in order to save the hand, I’ll do it. 
But everyone cries for second chance. 
A necessary evil clothe under the banner of tough love. 

There’s a vague pain within the secret recesses of my heart.
What you don't know won't hurt you. 
Better grieve with the truth than comforted with a lie. 
A long unspoken apology is forever lost in my thoughts.

We live in a world full of unsteady people. 
Is there someone in your life willing to knock holes in roof? 
Blessed be who got one. 
I patched the roof after the thrill is gone.

It demands so much of my faith to keep believing, keep hoping in the unseen. Sometimes the tunnel has a light at the end, but usually they just look black as night. This song is about that feeling, and the hope that I still have, buried deep in my chest. ” "I kept getting these phone calls from home - tragedy after tragedy... If there is some kind of Person in charge of this planet - are they sleeping? Smoking? Where are they? I jus...

To Ghost or Not to Ghost

           I have intermittent thoughts of wanting to leave, to disappear from people’s lives without a trace. I did it when I was in high school, college and after the academe years too. I became a ghost, with this I mean withdrawal of communication and not providing information for ending any form of relationship. I take no pride of this at all especially that most folks I deal with have good souls. But sometimes even if we’re surrounded with love, darkness has a unique way to seep in through our system.             You may ask why, I honestly don’t know. Just one mundane day, as I repeatedly listened to my top favorite songs, I found myself crying in the middle of an upbeat tune. It’s supposed to uplift my spirit but I ended up wiping the unceasing flow of tears on my cheeks. I stared blankly at the walls hoping it could slap me hard and wake me up from this madness. Obviously it can’t so I have to deal with this alone. ...
