Cup of Change

You said it was over
But it's not over yet,not over yet
You promised that it was over
You said you won't discriminate
You promised you'll be different
Thinking 'bout you lately
Know your favorite is the red paint
Tears that you chose not to see.

Be it blonde,brunette,black or fade
Or the catchy strings of red
Be it wavy,plain,curled or straight
It all makes the same braid
Be it the brown,blue,green or hazel
Or any other in the color palette
Let's just focus on the story the eyes tell
And burn all standards of beauty set;
Let's hug the warmth of the heart
And ditch those who've set bars
Of height and weight that hurt
The choice is not always his or hers.

The grey cloud of greed
Shaken up by the bright light of kindness
The tiny granules of arrogance
Washed up by the tides of curiosity
Where nobody's scared out of the fence
And can swim in the waves of diversity


 
Where every war of Colorado
Is blown away by the breeze of peace
Crystal clear in the wildest tornado
Where all the hatred seems to cease
Let's break all the walls
And mix the brown,black and white
Let's help to stand up whoever falls
And be together in the fight
Cause it's now or never
Let's stand for the cup
The cup which brings change forever.

  2. Your poetry is really vivid and as a beginner I am really inspired by your works, but does poetry have to be this long as mine are just 12 lines or close?

Forever

It's been three years But feels like a decade, Battling his worst fears His soul is now fade, Only him and his shaded dream Broken from inside,but says he's fine Patience filled to its brim Its hard now even to draw the line; He smiles at the crowd Through his tear stained cheeks All the voices screaming loud All he remembers are the erroneous ticks. Finding himself in all the wrong places Wanna see the golden lights Tying his rugged shoelaces His nightmares full of bloody fights, Wasn't that enough,wasn't that old? He wants it too bad,now it's too late Wasn't it mean,wasn't it cold? Is it all in his mind and not in his fate? Waiting,waiting for a whole new life Tamed steel waiting tonight Cut through the hopeless knife Still smiling even after the venomous bite. Opened his heart,poured it all Wanna have it,wanna touch it too Yet it feels nothing could manage to fall Lost in the storehouse of an old shoe; Out in the open,out in

Through the Shadows

I wish it was a bit more fun Why are we always on the run? Working through the day and night Fight until we see the light Wish you would tell me your plan 'Coz it's no longer according to mine I still strive to be your best fan A little bit more of you to shine It all feels like a never ending mess All remnants of a frustrated case Maybe you're leading me through the maze I feel a little doubtful in the chase. But you're always there hidden from sight Faith is so blind, lemme close my eyes Leading me through shadows and light You're the only truth in my world of lies. Disappointed in myself that I keep on hurting people Don't hunt for food anymore, its now the hunt for success that's for sale You know it this time I wasn't even cheating You saw how I gave my all How many more heart breaks greeting How many more times do you wanna see me fall? I still believe in you and only you Sometimes it's just way too dark Could it not be a bit more easy too? Doe
