The mind stresses

Past and future sleeps with me
 Stress levels are on a killing spree
 responsibilities on top of wonders of who I am to be 
 I don't know which right now is more important to see

 My age has got me scared of the clock
 pushing me to join the rest of the flock  
I don't know if I’ll achieve all I want before Death's knock

contemplating on what's not known to me yet
tossing back and forth about what I regret
 meanwhile praying that God has something already set

 Insecurities have a place in my bed
 doubtful voices have a place in my head
 despite the encouraging words that you said
 despite the philosophies that I have read
 Keep it up and depression and I might wed 
and won't be apart till I’m dead 

 sweepstakes for a briefcase and an office on the top floor 
So much money on uncertainty going out the door 
 still at the casino dishing out more 
because trying has always been the core 

 or something like that... 

                                                                                                                                                B.W

No matter how hard you try to erase the past, it happened.

God's Child

You haven't been yourself in quite a while
The persona you're wearing is going out of style
You mocked God this morning
thought you were God's child

God's child

You panicked when you needed to present
You blamed everyone to everyone when you needed to vent
We all make mistakes, but you were aware
It's okay to admit that you didn't care
I understand you've been under a lot of stress
That's no excuse to regress

God's child

People wronged you, but you knew they would
Your reaction is still not justified, you knew you shouldn't
You just wrote about this, and said you wouldn't
Your mouth moves faster than reason
Especially when dealing with treason
Just remember you do have something to believe in

God's child

Always feeling regret at the end of the day
Want the ref to side with you
when you were involved in foul play
From this day on, you need to have less to say
Ask for forgiveness,
and start to mind your own business

God's Child

Burning bridges

I'm burning bridges and not looking back
why bother fearing what comes after that
rid of the poison in the air
they will never care

nothing hurts more than witnessing deceit
considering you would give them your all
even after defeat
answering their late-night calls
missing out on sleep
Clearly, I shouldn't set standards
because they'll never meet

I understand that were human, so were fallible
but they're wicked and their actions are unacceptable
generation filled with unapologetic druggies
chasing lifestyles by using anyone they can
that's just not who I am
Never could I be a sham

I'm burning bridges and not looking back
why bother fearing what comes after that
rid of the poison in the air
they will never care

I would take a bus, train, plane or a boat to you
remembering back then when I would speak to you
giving advice that you've probably heard
except mine is spoken word
evoked enough to free a caged bird

At first you started off great
then you got greedy
wanted more on your plate
should have been satisfied.
but you fell for the bait
of course, when I reached out it was too late

Every time you came over
you were never sober
wanted to discuss your relations
never a relation
going back and forth with you
questioning why you always gave into temptation
you said you're young and you're living
I should try as well, because I’ll be forgiven
what about the consequences that can arrive now or later
, you up and left and said I’m too serious and a hater
at the end of day all I did was care
but you can't help those who don't want to hear

I'm burning bridges and not looking back
why bother fearing what comes after that
rid of the poison in the air
they will never care
but I will always love them 
there's no hate over here
