[Intro] Trust me. Trust me, I’ll protect you. Trust me, I’m with you. Trust me, I’ll respect you. Trust me… yeah… but none of it was true. [Verse 1] The most dangerous line to believe is “trust me,” trust me, I’m this and I’m that. Trust me, I’ll be there, I won’t hurt you, your trust, I’m not gonna crack. But they say it, replay it, until you believe, they know you crave it, it’s your biggest need. They see your hurt, they see you’re alone, they use it, play it, then suddenl

I’m fine. No need to applaud. This isn’t a breakthrough, It’s just... true. Nothing special happened today. I just stopped caring in a very organized way. I didn’t rise above it, I didn’t fall apart, I adjusted expectations and carried on smart. I say “I’m fine” like a completed task, Not a lie per se, just a box I check and pass. You’re hoping for growth, for a lesson, a change, I aim for a coffee and something less strange. No standing ovation, no tearful release, I’m not b

Sorry I’m late, I saw consequences ahead, so I took a side step and let fate catch its breath. ....

They want trauma summarized, sanitized, inspirational. I give them facts. No narration. They ask about childhood, I ask what version, The one where love was conditional or the one where it worsened? I learned to read silence before language had formed, When chaos repeats, you prepare for the storm. Trust issues? No, that’s pattern recognition, When storms repeat, you predict the conditions. Help never came, so dependence expired, Built self-reliance under pressure and fire. D

[Spoken Intro] Some dance to remember, some dance to forget; I dance to reassemble, I resemble, reset. [Verse 1] A dance can pick the lock of the past I drown in memories of times that have passed I relive the moments, I recast the cast Reset and reset, and I end up upset Of the things I could do, of the things I could’ve said But it’s like a drug, spinning my head. The best of times, the best of nights, the best of highs And then it drops me down like a surprise Past

[Verse 1] I see the city lights flicker like a loaded gun, Shadows whisper names but they ain't trustin' none. Every move’s a gamble, every step’s a play, In a world full of liars, I make ‘em pay. Suit up, mask on, watch me disappear, You think you see the truth? Nah... just smoke and mirrors. Street code, high stakes, I don’t leave a trace, No fingerprints, no names, just a ghost in the race. [Chorus] We don’t play by the rules, we rewrite the game, You think you're in contr

Unluckily Lucky What do you call luck? For me, it’s a bit of a mindfuck. Born in the wrong place, From a fleeting embrace, Came into this world unseen By luck, I wasn’t wiped clean. Was it luck to be abandoned, Or just fate in disguise? Left behind, passed along, One couldn’t, the next went wrong. Better than the system, they say, Yet somehow, I still lost my way. Alcohol and violence filled the air, But at least I had my own space there. Books, paper, music... my escape, A p

I waltz with secrets, slow and sweet, A tangled rhythm, sharp deceit. The truth is laughing in the dark, It knows just where to leave its mark. Step left, step right, don’t miss a beat, This game is played with silent feet. Soft words, sharp teeth, A smile wrapped in silk beneath. Your story’s tight, the tale is clean, But I can smell the truth between. Velvet lies, they slip, they shine, They coil round your every line. But darling, when you blink, you’ll see Your perfect li

The Echo in My Veins I hear them whisper in the night, Ghosts of choices, wrong and right. Their echoes rattle through my chest, Footsteps in my ribcage, never rest. Every shadow leaves a clue, Every story tells what’s true. I try to run, I try to hide, But the past walks right beside.

Your name’s a whisper, lost in ink, A puzzle piece, a missing link. Numbers scratched, a coded lie, Burned-up maps and alibis. You think you’re safe, you think you’ve won, But games like these are never done. You left no trace, no path, no guide Except the one inside your mind. Trails

We ran like ghosts, like gods, like fire, Fueled by dreams and wrong desires. We stole the stars, we cursed the moon. We knew the end was coming soon. Wrong to be together wrong to be apart maybe we shouldn't settle but we play with open cards. So take my hand, we’ll chase, we’ll run, We’ll dance until the race is done. No laws, no maps, no wasted breath... Just you and me. And whatever comes next. Chasing the End

[Intro] Yeah… No rent, no lease. You’re in too deep. Mind’s a palace, baby, only the strong find peace. [Verse 1] I’m living in my head, penthouse views, high heels on the floor, whiskey, nothing to lose. Could go rogue one night, make a scene like Cruise, then disappear and return in a fresh set of moves. I live how I want, you would do the same, if you knew how to touch pain and turn it to flame. Rewrite my past like I’m changing the frame, lead role energy, I don’t wait fo

They told me he's gone, And I felt nothing. Is something within me wrong, Or was he just not worth it? He brought the darkness, the trauma But I felt nothing... was that karma? Not relief, nor hate, no sadness, no sting, Inside, I was still, calm, not feeling a thing. I wrote this poem, or whatever it’s called, Not because I care, but a thought slowly crawled: Am I bad, or cold, or...wrong Or was it him who never belonged? In my life, in my mind.... he was the worst kind...
