Martyr

I believe in my purpose

so much so 

that I'm willing to die for it

I feel like I already have

some have sang my praises

as if I'm some sort of hero

thanking me for the positivity

but also for caring

while others have called me pathetic
a lonely man

seeking attention

flirting with every woman I speak to

they crucify me

believing in what they see 

what insecurity tells them to believe 

I was told this would happen

admiration 

criticism 

misunderstandings

judgement

that's why I'm not afraid anymore
despite what anyone thinks of me

I'm willing to die for my purpose

and even more willing to live for it

Numb

If you find yourself 
dissatisfied 
confused 
unsure what to feel 
it's okay to feel nothing 
just know that 
even if it makes you 
unpopular 
it may be necessary 
possibly dangerous 
but the right thing to do 
in the end 
because sometimes 
it takes feeling nothing 
to remember 
how to feel again

L.O.V.E. Notes: Autoestima

Nadie puede amarte

en la manera que

amas a ti mismo

Cuerpo Celeste

Cuando te miré 
vi el cielo 
la luna 
y las estrellas 
viviendo en la oscuridad 
creando tanta luz 
yo no podía creer lo que veía 
sabía que no eras mío 
pero de todos modos 
estaba agradecido 
desde el fondo de mi corazón 
porque te vi
y tu energía 
no había palabras 
sólo los sentimientos 
cuando te miré 
tuve que estar seguro 
mis ojos han mentido antes 
y estoy sin un telescopio 
pero por primera vez 
en mucho tiempo 
tenían razón 
eres una de ellos 
un cuerpo celeste

L.O.V.E. Notes: Lightweight

You've doubted yourself for long enough
it's time you finally accept the truth
the pain you've carried no longer weighs the same
you've been blamed for what happened in the past
not just by those from your past
but you've also blamed yourself
it's time you finally accept the truth
the past is dead
any attempt to resurrect the past
will result in crippling the one thing you can control
and what you can control is what happens right now
because what happens next is everything
it's time you finally accept the truth
which is that you've never really had to carry the pain
but rather recognize the light inside of you
perhaps now maybe you'll open your eyes

The More Things Change

I've danced with the Devil 
laid in a field of snakes 
and been surrounded by buzzards 
I haven't been the same since
but I never expected to be 
to tell the truth 
I never expected to make it 
not to say I didn't hope to 
maybe I was just afraid 
afraid of what I would become 
unrecognizable 
incapable of progression 
or worse 
disconnected from the universe
but that hasn't happened 
so I cannot show fear
even if it means things change 
one cannot be afraid to evolve 
now I don't fear the buzzards 
or the snakes 
and although some say I should 
I don't even fear the Devil 
they're nothing I haven't seen before 
but everything I'm sure I'll see again

Stealth

I can feel everything 
maybe that's a problem for some
or perhaps for most 
it could be that I love everyone 
but I can't handle large crowds
so it appears that loving everyone 
means I'm flirting with everyone 
is that why nobody looks for me 
or why very few ask where I am 
it's kind of ironic
to think all I wanted was to be seen
now I thrive on being invisible 
going unnoticed 
flying under the radar 
without being detected 
now I'm seen as antisocial 
but that's not it at all
sometimes one must go it alone
and despite any misunderstandings
my life still has a purpose 
so the feelings I have for everything 
and the love I have for everyone 
must be used for that purpose 
whether anyone sees me or not

L.O.V.E. Notes: People Person

People tell you lots of things 
they tell you not to be guarded 
even though you're royalty 
then your kingdom crumbles 
but if it wasn't for a lack of loyalty 
and a lack of trust 
the empire you were trying to build
wouldn't have turned into dust
now those people tell you to rebuild 
but criticize you for putting up walls 
do you know what's the worst 
listening to other people 
rather than yourself first
it's easy to point out the problem
but rarely do you hear a solution
that's why there's so much confusion
which people have your back
or which people put up a front
and whose words you take to heart
if you only knew your worth 
then you would know where to start 
should things ever fall apart
