The Source

I put your mark on my arm to remind me of the source. The prejudice you carried spread like a swarm of locus. It consumed all that was pure and left nothing but skeletons. Your bleeding hands pulled me towards you and stained my essence. So now I were your mark like a scar to remind me that I'm not bound by hate. And that the path I choose will be from a brighter source.

Fall Low


Some days I'll breathe...and realize, It was you...that was breathing all along. You were the rain in my world of sand. When it's dark, you found light. When I'm weak, you came down. The thing is... we never tried. And with you, I'll Fall Low.

Dream to Live

When our family tree was cut down limb by limb, dreams were all we've got. We clutched down with our fingers like the roots of a tree to the soil that once nourished us.
