Under the Surface of A Man

Under the surface, there is vulnerability and love.
there is loyalty and peace.
Under the surface, there is kindness and joy.
there is fire and compassion.
Under the surface we care.

 

Miss Suzhou — my hometown

Strong wind blew off roof
and made the morning dawn,
Door of house is frequently opened
and cold air rushed in.
It was late at midnight
and people all fell sleep,
Small bridge and flowing water
came into my dream.

 

As a Man

You do what you can,
to make some friends
to last you till your end.
Even thought you might
have to act differently
that’s gonna work
most efficiently.
But true friends
will make you show
your one true self
and won’t leave
you on the shelf.

 

Life

Life is difficult
Life is tuff
Unfortunately you have to live it
And most times it’s rough

Most things won’t go your way
And it’s okay to be not okay

But in life we have brotherhood
It last from childhood to adulthood
And without a father and a mother
A brother can cure life

 

Home

My home is my life
My home is my pride and joy
My home has my friends
My home has my family
I miss the heat and the blue skies
I miss my friends and family
I want that back
I want to go home

 

A Leaf

A leaf blows in the wind
Or something like that I think
I don’t know anything
About writing these sort of things

Poetry isn’t a find
I have come to like
But if I must write
Then here is the product of my mind.

To be Important

I like feeling like important,
when a conversation goes well,
or I win a game.
I want to be like my dad
he’s confident in every situation
I’m nervous doing everything
I don’t often try my hardest
which is probably why I don’t feel important much

 

I like

I like eat apple, i enjoy taste.
I like mountain, i enjoy see.
l like rain, i enjoy hear.
I like flower, i enjoy smell.
I like sun, i enjoy fell.
l like my brain, i enjoy thinking.

ChristmAIs

In Raheen, the streets are cracked and worn,
Where dreams are ragged, and hope is torn.
The smell of despair roams the streets,
Homeless children scouring for treats.

Even tho it’s Christmas, spirit in Raheen is down,
Everyone you see wears the ugliest frown.
“Will Santa visit this year?” Asked a poor little boy,
While looking longingly into a shop filled with toys.

A single tear rolls down his cheek,
Christmas for him was cold and bleak.
The boy shivered, and rubbed his hands,
Never felt the luxury of designer brands.

This is the story of a poor Raheen boy.

 

As a man

You should have a plan
to be nice
know how to cook rice.
Men have a different mentality
and they like to watch a fatality
|while women are more aware
but there words are like a snare.

To be a Man

You have to be strong.
Life may be short
or it may be long.
But you only have
the blink of an eye
So why not use it
to be a good guy.

 

As a man

You should make a plan
to be the best that you can.
A plan to be nice
and learn to use spice.
As a man
you should be your best self
as that could be your claim to wealth

Fit In

You have to try and fit in
You have to be like the others
You have to blend in with the mob
You have to be not you

I am him

I am Batman
I am Patrick Bateman
I am that guy
I am the top dawg
Said the lying guy
