The Reckoning is Here
You claim you’ve “made a difference,” yet your philanthropy’s just a vanity The streets hear you whisper “P. Diddy,” but they mute you when you try to sway

The Reckoning is Here
You claim you’re the mogul, but you’re just a counterfeit flash of cash Your empire’s built on hype, a circus act that never knows how to really play

People Always Leave
No one that comes into your life is meant to stay forever People come, and they go Lessons learned Mistakes made Everyone is either one of those

Unheard
we are taught that “ if you have nothing nice to say don’t say it at all “ We are taught to be the bigger person To silently leave

I Know I Can't Find "LOVE" - But I Could Find Ice-Cream, Okay, Fine - Peanut Butter & Cupcakes
This is my favourite brand, NOT really but you know I could really try to outlast all the other problems !? Like I could sit and gain like 5,000 pounds hpoing this is what makes my life happy !? I could share with 9,000 people but it's still not my life - it's yours ! This is my favourite brand - NOT really but this is what everything in LIFE boils down to !!!

Shadow of a Broken Dream
In the quiet corner of midnight’s sigh, Where silver stars refuse to gleam, I stand beneath a silent sky, Holding the shadow of a broken dream.

99 Days Before Many Of Us Becomes Dust - FIFA !!!!!!
I am a footballer ! I... AM... A FOOTBALLER.... I am a footballer - as if these words made sense in over 46 years !? The thought of messing up the garments for cheers and hoorah - often inspires us to be magnificent and unique !? I am footballer, is not always the best statement, but a way in which we assume our place on the Earth !? The packed stadiums, the unrelenting crowds !? I am a footballer !?? (long pause) Not because I wanted to, but because football is the most unified sport in LIFE !?

World of Dreams
In the world of dreams, I softly glide, Where time dissolves and stars collide. Whispers of hope in a midnight stream, I find myself in the world of dreams.

A Little Edgy
** on the edge of this mountain near the edge of defeat at the edge of my sanity where the cut brings relief standing out in a crowd

1 Year Later, And FOUR (4) Months, Or FIVE (5) - I Have Made It In Life - DONE Everything There Is To DO, Seen It All
As a person who made sense, I have carried a bag like this !? As a person who have made sense, I have done this - and that is normal, I've done that !? What exactly am I doing with my life !? I am living this way..... I'can't live another way - but perhaps I could live this way !? What way is that - what way are you living !? I don't know - I just wanted to write today !?
