Do you see me in the stars?
Do you want to understand?
Can you see past my scars?
Am I destined to be damned?
My past has been harsh,
Now I can withstand,
I've been put behind bars,
Give me your hand, so I can stand.
Do you see me in the ocean?
Do you see me in hell?
Multiple emotions,
Since I got up and fell.
I've been forcing my focus,
On the pain so parallel,
I think I may be hopeless,
Where else can I dwell?
Can you see me?
No you cant.
You don't wanna,
You can't withstand.
Being with me,
You dropped my hand,
I can't see,
You don't care,
You probably,
Are unaware of my scare.
Since I see you,
In the stars,
Beyond the sky,
Through my scars,
Past my cry,
Super far,
Way up high,
Beyond the radar.
Do you see me?
Do you care?
Do you want me?
You dropped your stare.
How can you escape me?
I am everywhere
If you climb the highest mountain
I am there
If you hide yourself in the depths of the sea
You can't escape me
There's nowhere to flee
I descend into the depths of hell
I am seated high
Can't you tell?
There is no other
It's only me
In answer to your question
Do you think I can see?
Can you see me
The Hell I've been through
The scars I now wear
Can you truly understand
What it's likes to be me
Every day they pass me by
I can see naught in their eyes
They don't want to see ahead
And yet they say they do
From parsing out Orion to
The promises they'll swear are from the stars
You'll never see me cuz I'm not the brightest
If you go nestle 'neath the stars
Don't look for me, just read the signs
It's not your future, yet it truly is
When all at length seems it aligns
Stars may not align in our favor,
Maybe not now, not in this life.
Don't be sad when I'm not around,
When you can't find me,
I may not know about you,
But I've lived searching for you,
I may have failed in this life,
But I've loved you truly, successfully.
Now among the stars,
I looked down at you and sigh,
Why are you so miserable?
I've left all of me with you,
My heart and my soul,
Keep me close,
And smile, that smile I've longed to see.
I tell the stars about you,
And they twinkle in reply,
If it's too hard,
If you miss me too much,
Look up at the heavens,
Do they shine on you?
Do they twinkle for you?
You'll see me in the stars,
Until we can be together,
Because that's how I lived,
till the end.
From hearing "Been there, done that"
To counting it as a part of my life
Soreness has taken all over my senses
So hey, devine may as well guide
Why couldn't I visualise
When you have never ever left my side
Radiate your light all over me
By never leaving my sight
I'll be sure to embrace you as well
As I am the universe's child
C Me N The Stars.
Eyes Reflect The Twinkles Ov Where I Am.
Home Iz The Heavenz. The Beautiful Heavenz.
Lightz Ov The Pure Nightz. The Starz R It'z Magikz.
Whispers Ov Wishes Amount 2 Miraculous Miracles. C Me N The Stars.
up in the stars
thinking of love
will i go far
will i be enough
singing a tune
dont know where from
wondering what
i will become
sitting alone
twidiling thumb
head in the clouds but
inside i feel numb
cannot escape
what i have done
your not my father
and im not your son
wish i was happy
wishing is dumb
if i wished for something
it would be a gun
wish i was happy
see me in the stars
i cry myself to sleep
but its so good to be alive
to feel the sun strong against your face
now i see you coming over to me
lets find a star a star to call our own
make a wish mayb we can make it home
it's so good to be alive
From above :
"I have been put behind bars..."
---------------
FROM BEHIND BARS (1)
Since his writings are so damn revolting,
He'll get the retribution we be now a-brewing;
Yes, he doth need some punishment exemplary,
So that henceforth others be rather more wary.
---
He pretends to be an expert at all things,
And incessantly churns out his mad ravings;
But, we will certainly cut him down to size,
As finally he will be made to realise.
---
Vainly will he claim some sort of immunity
To protect his sheer vulgarity and impunity,
But, of our cells he will be made to taste,
When, to jail, we will send him post-haste.
---
He recklessly pours out his venomous bile,
Regardless of how the fabric of society be fragile;
But, freedom is only what we decide it should be,
As this bloody loony for himself soon will see.
---
Dragg'd and march'd, handcuff'd and brand'd
For all to see, will he triumphantly be parad'd,
And made to swallow back his insolent assertions,
And repent totally for his revolting recriminations.
---
But, swears back defiantly the bold poet,
Well may thou poke me with thy bayonet,
Yet, my pen is mightier than thy truncheon,
Thy sword, thy gun, thy tank, thy dungeon.
***
Yes, a poet must write at liberty
What a poet must write for humanity;
Though he be not fully right at times,
He must be free to forge out his rhymes.
---
Ye might not like his writings,
Ye might not favour his ravings,
But ye cannot muzzle him up really,
For, a myriad more will rise up speedily.
---
From far away will rise some great solidarity,
From many a distant town and remote city
Help will come for the writer brand'd as loony,
And turn his endeavour into sheer celebrity.
---
If the fabric be not enough strong,
Then go and re-educate yon throng,
Rather than try to gag a fearless poet
And brand him with many a cruel epithet.
---
Let these works be a plea against repression,
A plea for the great freedom of expression,
For upholding the rights of all writers,
For the protection of courageous publishers.
---
On our lips let these works forever blossom,
Or, to tyranny must we pay a heavy ransom ;
Let us promote the defence of literary freedom,
And, of repression, let us abolish the custom !

Burn their sorry soul,
like Orion's in the sky,
or lighten up their name
to be a neon beacon lie,
perchance a painful faceplant,
repeats; ineptitude,
for dizzy birds that circle,
seek lost gratitude,
in darkness they create,
all jokes at their expense,
both the judge; and criminal,
is what they proud; dispense,
they love; the most; in war,
whilst playing; role of Mars,
then; a boom; came from above,
said: "see me in the stars!"
I couldn't recognize her,
She was too far.
It wasn’t a race, but I felt like a loser.
So I sat in the car,
And set the recorder.
Was it the mother?
Was it the clouds?
Was it just too much bother?
Or was it the crowd?
Was it me?
And I sat in the car,
Watching the stars from afar.
The last glimpse was of her,
And the last sound was the car,
Moving until she was just a blur,
A white bar above me.
Then I was gone,
And so were you.
You were gone but my heart stayed true I realize there was a light that sparked in me and you and Im a star I set the bar and I can raise it very far I would not get down low and feel discarded but praise the brightness that in us which is always evidence of what we are and what we do and what we see because in that sky is not just a star but stars and yeah we blew up full of gas but we came back plentiful and meaningful and more and you will never settle the score with me because the scars and the cars and grass and the air can't compare to the many stars sitting right there that you probably had no idea what they were capable of because we are stars that constantly and continuously keep raising the bar oh yeah I'm a star who going very far
Who is the architect of this despair,
Fish locked in water men trapped in the air,
Who do we assign to this circus of lies,
Who must account for the dust in our eyes?
Audience or Act is no cause to weep
Voiced or silent we will all end in sleep.
