My Epiphany

It’s like I’ve been hit in the head, I got a new perception
Got some new specs with a new prescription
I’m getting wiser from all these lessons
Life’s throwing at me I’m making madd receptions
My word is bond, I have no exceptions
But people keep getting misconceptions
From now on I’ll hold no regrets and
I feel like it’s time for a new direction
When I see my reflection there’s a new man
Same face only difference is there’s a new plan
New sense in the head call me Spider-Man
I’m swinging through life, flying over traffics jams
And I feel it in my heart, I’m gonna reach the summit
The thing to stop me is if my death is sudden
I’m coming back stronger every time I plummet
I already know how to spit, now I’m trynna vomit
Sumtimes I feel like I’m crazy but it’s not proven
At times I wake up feeling my life’s an illusion
How can you know your not dreaming, how can you prove it?
What if life’s a dream we wake when the heart stops movin
And what if I told ya that I really believe this
Will you think me crazy cuz you can’t even see it
What if all ya was crazy and I’m really a genius
We’ll know when we wake, but won’t be able to speak it

Life³     —Cecilia Flores

transparent cube…
my life in a box…
Focus on the evident.
Give way to the walls.
Let the air in…
breathe through…
then suck it all back in
again.

Always be me     —Maria Eith

Sometimes you feel things that other people don’t understand.
But they don’t know what it feels like to be a failure.
And you do things that in the end hurts the people that count.
The ones that were always by your side and that gave you a hand to help you when you fall.
People that still stand by you when you know you screwed up.
But most people don’t understand that life is too short to live in agony.
And that you have one chance to live life to its fullest;
One chance to touch the stars and hold the galaxy in the palm of your hands.
So remember everytime you feel like the world is falling on you,
that I’ll be there to help you back up.
I’ll be that guardian angel to help guide you.
I’ll look after you and wipe away the tears you’ve cried.
Wipe off the blood that covers your severed heart.
You’re my brother, my every breath, my friend.
You’ve looked after me all my life.
And helped me follow my heart and not dreams.
So when you feel you need a friend,
Remember I’ll always be here.
If you need a person to cry on,
I’ll always be there.

Girl in the Corner     —Anon.

Girl in the corner
forgotten, alone
no where to go
left without a home

Girl in the corner
weeps silently
not a friend in the world
she screams desperately

Girl in the corner
wants to be loved
needs so badly
to fly like a dove

Girl in the corner
reaches out for you
you outstretch your arm
Because that’s what friends do.

Letting it Go     —Nina Crimaldi

Just watch the day break,
feel the ocean breeze,
hear the tide come in,
sweet, sweet daydreaming
and sand beneath your feet.

Watch your life be washed ashore,
feel a new beginning,
hear the wind whisper “it will be okay”
and let your heart do the talking.

Just watch the sun set,
know that in your heart
it will rise,
breathe in that hope
and take it all inside.

My Mind     —Cecilia Flores

My mind
is full of craziness
I wander through the
shadows
I hide from
my demise
then crawl
through the pool
of thoughts
swimming
through
my mind

A Rough Trip - Jimmy Estrada

Don’t know why I held on so strong for so long
Even though it was obvious her love was so gone
I felt like a blind man without his dog
Waiting for her to come back but she was long gone
It’s like I was drunk driving couldn’t see the signs
Kept passing red lights wishing they’d turn to lime
At the first light I stopped and gave it time
But it wouldnt change so I put the gear in drive
And I went as far as I could
Until the tank said empty but my heart was still full
So I got out the car and pushed and pushed
But my heart’s given out so I’ve gone as far as I could
Now I’m sittin under my hood in this rain
Contemplating in my brain if I should quit my campaign
I know I’m insane for not choosing to refrain
From the source of my pain, it’ll probably end in vain
And it feels like Im going in loops
Because I make a u turn only to turn back to you
Because you plus me… equals better math
And if you added me, it’d be for better laughs
Maybe I used the wrong equation for our problems
But the test is over now, too late to solve them
All I wanted was a passenger
But I passed so many, hopin I’d just get to ride with her
In my two seater car we could of went real far
Away from all the lights so you could see the stars
I let the top drop back in my coupe
Put the seats back so there’d be more room for me and you
And thats all there ever was, just you and me
Never tried to have another fill the shoes on your feet
Why look for a copy when you’ve found an original
Why go for ordinary, when you can have unpredictable
I know I’ve got some screws loose
Cuz even though we dont touch I feel connected to you like bluetooth

Untitled     —Anon

Tus ojitos aguados me entristecen

No sé que te ocurre

Esto me preocupa pues al verte

Yo también me entristezco.

No sé que té pasa

Y quisiera ayudarte

Pero tu tristeza me agivbia

Y no puedo hacer nada.

Yo quisiera ser tu apoyo

Pero tu no me quieres

Por que si lo hicieras

No tendrías tus ojitos tristes

Por que yo te daría felicidad.

Tus ojitos entristecidos

Entristecen los míos

Por que por ti todo lo daría

Con tal hacerte feliz.

Este verso triste y frío

Ya no quiere sufrir más

Por que tus ojitos tristes

Cada vez lo entristecen más.
