Khaleel Steir

I’m lost in the dark labyrinth of my mind
For there is no way out, no exits, only dead ends
Why am I trapped here?
Help! Somebody please help me
...

The wind howls as the storm rages on
Trees dancing and leaves celebrating
It's dangerous out there
A tree falls from dancing to hard
...

We travel through time daily, crossing decades
Yet we focus on the past
We close our eyes and begin to venture minutes, hours in reverse
Searching for opportunities we may have may have missed
...

An outcast. A stranger. An outsider. I'm a shadow in this world.
Nobody cares, the only care about themselves.
My shadow has even left me; actually, my shadow and I have switched places.
Depression has shackled me and holds me hostage.
...

An unstoppable force, like a tidal wave crashing over my competition
You can't stop this man, who blows past the obstacles.
I'm the Micheal Jordan of anything I do.
...

My hard work goes unnoticed for years. I'm a nobody.
I feel like Robin, Batman’s sidekick.
A pat on the back, at most. Why even try then?
So when will it be my turn? !
...

As the light begins to fade, the day is coming to an end
After the day of laughs, fun, memories, and good friends
It's time to finally go home
...

You are the brightest star in the night sky
Brighter than the sun itself
You smile, brighter than an exploding star
Nothing can truly be said to capture your true beauty
...

To define what in thee world my teacher writes on the board
I clearly see gibberish or some strange scribbling on the board
How will solving these strange and complicated equations that having nothing to do with life?
...

Why do I feel so empty inside?
Like a hollow tree
Yet so many people know me,
Call me their friend, tell me I'm important to them
...

Why do I feel as if I was outcast by everyone?
Why do I feel as if nobody wants me around?
Was I destined to traverse this world alone, unloved and lonely?
How can I say I have friends yet nobody is ever around?
...

The man you look upon is broken
He can no longer stand the blows he must endure
He struggles to stand from the beatings of this world
There are no bruises, no physical contact yet he's been broken
...

Was it that night where we first met?
Or was it that night we first kissed?
Which ever night it was, those memories play nonstop
It keeps me up thinking, thinking why we moved so far apart
...

As the gun stares at me with such hate
I find myself alone and abandoned
Six Little friends is all I have left
Yet, it only takes one to give me peace, rest
...

Being at the center is where everyone else is
No matter how hard I try nothing changes
Why am I always the one to be in the outer circle
Almost an outcast, more like an acquaintance yet they say we're all family
...

Why is is that my mind floods with pictures and dreams of things I can't have
Another chase has begun. Another foggy path I've chosen to walk down
I feel like a dog chasing a rabbit in a dog race.
Sprinting after something I was never meant to catch.
...

Love is that feeling that you can't explain, but you know how it feels.
It'll make a man spend every dime he's saved on her.
Love will make you deny all the advice people gave, because you know,
that you're in love. That everything is ok, when they know it's not.
...

As I walk through the darkness, stumbling over all obstacles
I hear the voices telling me to believe. Believe in the God all mighty.
I yell out, God can't be real. The innocent die and the corrupt walk free.
They call back, God moves in mysterious ways.
...

Jump! Do it!
The crowd of ants call to you
Do it, you're a coward1
You're not wanted here
...

Please stop. No! Stop, come back
As i fall to my knees, tears streaming down my fall like a waterfall
Why must you leave me here, alone?
I gave you everything, you are my everything
...
