Suicide
By Kazz Falcon
Life
What’s life?
Put a knife through it, watch it bleed
A chance at life, all I need
I had fallen to the pits
Homelessness wasn’t a life, it was just bits
It don’t have a lot to offer
I dare not stay long and suffer
I cared for a life, one for which I could live
My plan is to succeed and give
Wake me up; get going to the top
Take me to my heart’s bippity bop
That’s the life I want
Here’s the life I don’t want
I won’t be homeless long
A pat on my back, I’ll sing my song
What’s life?
That’s life
By Kazz Falcon
Being Wild
It’s so stupid of the child
I used a sharp knife
It cost my life
I lost everything
To my true friends, I was nothing
I realized something
I gained a cut up life
The pain I was in
I must start all over again
I lifted up my chin
A new life I looked forward to
On the knife, I saw the blood
A wild jackass, I stood
From good friends, I burnt the wood
I was in an awful mood
My life wasn’t the same
I was the one to blame for being wild
By Kazz Falcon
Speak highly of someone
Say, I’ve never doubted that one
The mood they’re in is 100% fabulous
Truly, truly marvelous!
This is someone you want to know
White as angel’s glow
Always in high spirit
Listen closely, you can hear it
HEY, couldn’t we be like that too?
Gosh, maybe I should be ripped in two
I’ll have no more problems ever
Giving my help to whomever
If nobody’s a crook,
Then their goose can’t be cooked
When dark secrets are revealed,
Their good nature is sealed
I won’t even bother to deal
With the uncooked goose meal
I want to be in the same group
Where people throw me for a loop
It feels good to be noticed like that
To them, I tip my hat
It raises my spirits to be loved by all
I like to stand up really tall
Speak highly
By Kazz Falcon
Going Home Again
From the streets, I sung an unhappy song
Is this so long?
I can’t stand the homeless life
It’s giving me the scares
Living in fear brought me more nightmares
It doesn’t play fair
I faced a losing situation
And placed me in danger
Some people can’t control their anger
Home couldn’t be the streets of no life
I’m tempting to use a knife
Everywhere I turned,
I believed I would get burn
Stupid things was going around
I want to pound my head to the ground
They was into drugs, alcohol and violence
HEY! I don’t want to be part of it
May I have my life back?
Say, it could happen to anyone
Please help me, someone
Am I going home again?
By Kazz Falcon
Active Days
I couldn’t want it any other way
I prayed every night,
“May I stay away from slow days?”
I’d rather have active days
Active days give me a lot to do,
Not the other way around – Boredom
I found it so refreshing
It sounded good to my ears
I heard it to be in a fabulous mood
No more wasting time
Active days tore down my laziness
I fore myself into an exciting life
I shot for good times with friends
I’m burning red hot every day
And turning toward the active days
By Kazz Falcon
Slow Days
Who likes them?
They can be so boring
I want every day active
They paved the way of being busy
I won’t cave in of being bore
Please save me
Those days give me sleep
Sleep I don’t need
I won’t weep for slow days
Keep them away from me
Deep in my heart, I can’t take them
I fell asleep during boring days
Make my days active
Things I can do with my life
Like singing a beautiful song
It brings me happy times
I don’t long for slow days
By Kazz Falcon
The Rough Side
I want to hide
It’s a hard place to live
I will give anything for peace
Something I’m desperate for
Peace in the neighborhood is my dream
Nobody is safe from South Central
Somebody will get kill by the gangs
Anybody? Banged? You’re dead!
I prayed to God daily,
“End the danger, the day is coming soon.
Send us an angel, dear Lord, to protect the ‘hood.”
God connected people together for the same thing
We cared for peace and want our hood back
Why swallow the negative food of the gangs?
We’re in no mood for stupid games
I’m so sure
We want this place to be cure from the rough side
By Kazz Falcon
Good Deed Of The Day
I’m someone in need
Help me out
You might be an angel in disguise
I received a blessing
My life came back
The bleeding stopped
Everything, you dropped
I’m tired of my life going nowhere
My life went up, I conquered my dreams
I’m something in life
Anything that put me on my feet
I love writing poems and stories
You got the fork out of my back
I let everything fall into its place
It made my day to work every day
My turn to give someone in need
Good deed of the day
By Kazz Falcon
Ghost talk
I walked down the street
He talked to himself on La Brea
I can’t shut him up
Or put him in his place
He may turn on me
I wondered why he was out of control
He talked crap to nobody
I walked by him
Nobody’s there besides him
I was sure
It’s pure nonsense
I saw him many times before
He talked to no one & walked with a ghost
I guessed the ghost was his friend
He makes most with the ghost talk
By Kazz Falcon
Divorce
I ended a bad marriage
It’s sad and painful time for me
I’m glad our life together is over
I’m fed up the way he treated me
I was cheated out of real love
His flings defeated us
Why bring your love to me again?
I’m singing this song,
“I won’t take you back.”
You ate somebody else’s cake
Our fate for happiness is ruined
We went our separate ways
I’m no longer your mate
It gave me renew hope for real love
And set me in a wonderful mood
I’m dating all these sexy men
What a fabulous after the divorce?
By Kazz Falcon
The Good Life
I can be proud of
The wrong crowd can cut me away
I don’t plan on that
I won’t give up my life
It saves me from alcohol and drugs
Trust me, I only want hugs
Nothing can be further from the truth
The good life is something I want
I put myself in a fabulous mood
I shut the wrong crowd out of my life
So long, the wrong crowd
I belonged with the good life
By Kazz Falcon
I Learned From Life
Episodes I lived through
Hard times made me stronger
Stronger not to fall for it twice
It’s nice that God is with me
No matter what it is
The good and the bad
I’m so glad I learned from life
I moved forward on with life
And loved going to the top
Nobody, please stop me
Somebody put me on the right track
I shut out the trash
My life won’t crashed and burned
I turned away from the trash
My eyes stay focus to the top
I learned my lessons about life
I earned a good reputation
No trash would bring me down
I owned my life to God
And my family of friends
I sought people’s mistakes to learn from
You ought to so the same
The brought to my attention,
“We need to live through the episodes.
Life would be better at the end.”
I learned from life
By Kazz Falcon
Wars
Please be far away
I can’t handle them
The sight of dead movie
Frightened me to death
The soldiers are fighting for what’s right
Don’t bother me to enlist me
I won’t dare to be a soldier
I do cared for peace
Wars aren’t the way to go
In my eyes
Innocence people are getting killed
For no reason at all
Why couldn’t they put up a wall?
A wall of peace
Talk things out and come to an exclusion
Soldiers doesn’t make it home
Dead, hostage, diseases to name a few
Some are still missing in action
Those wars wouldn’t thrill me
It gave me chills thinking about it
I was truly scared of them
I lost a good night sleep
From the nightmares of the wars
By Kazz Falcon
Time
What does the future brings?
Anything I like it to be
I’ll be careful what I asked for
It may not be what I want
I expected the unexpected
If I don’t like it
I changed it for the better
I lived only once
I used time at my advantage
Mine, only I used it wisely
I don’t have that much time left
My life is too short
I don’t dare to waste time
It’s too valuable
Time slips away as I get older
Nothing I can do about it
Except make plans to look forward to
I flipped pages in the time book
The future turned into the present
And left the past behind
I wished I could rewind the clock
I locked the bad doors
And lived the good life
Time doesn’t work that way
I must learn from my mistakes
Time healed all wounds
It wouldn’t cost me a dime
Just my time at my expense
Sometimes it tasted sour
I made lemonade out of lemons
I forsaken the bad
I took my time
And recognized life isn’t all that bad
I don’t fall on my face
I stood tall
And put a wall against the bad
Life would be much easier
What does the future brings?
Time
By Kazz Falcon
Broken Dreams
I screamed out loud
It seems it won’t happened
I don’t have the energy
The time is slipping away fast
Maybe, I should commit a crime
Things may go my way
Then again, everyone would look at me different
Someone ought to give me a lucky break
I live for that day
Everything fell into its place
I became a happy camper
My day has finally arrived
I conquered all my wildest dreams
It’s only a dream
I woke up from the dream world
Only to realized
I still have the broken dreams
By Kazz Falcon
Oh Well
Life goes on
My attitude about life itself
Am in being rude?
Everyone has problems
Somebody needs to fix them
Nobody like me will help
I’ve my own problems to deal with
Why add theirs to mine?
I must work mine out first
That’s fine by me
The sign on my forehead,
Don’t get me involved
I won’t let yours become mine
It set me on a stress less plate
I’ve met a lot of problems in my lifetime
None I want to go back to
We’re alone in this world
Please give your problems to God
The only advice I can give you
I’m nice enough to be there
As long it’s not stressful
If not, life goes on
On well
By Kazz Falcon
Writing poems is an art form
I saw it that way
I want to stay on writing poems
People know me through them
And see the real person inside
The poems I write is from life’s experience
The good and the bad
I never want to go back to old Steven
Because God makes it even
Life got better every day
No matter what we do
We can all learned something from my poems
That’s the beauty of it
I taught about life
They’re fascinating by them
The beauty lies within my poems
They saw the beauty
And realized some of them they can relate to
Their hearts touches them
Tears rolled from their eyes
The poems brought the best out of them
In made everyone’s day to love people
An artist’s painting is an art form
People see the beauty of them
The beauty is what they love to see the most
It made them feel good and loving inside
See the art in poems
Called me the artist from the poems I wrote
See the story too
Called me a storyteller, a great one at that
These poems ends at a full swing from a baseball bat
A home run made it a final, 1 – 0
By Kazz Falcon
The Past
When does it end?
It never ends when it comes back
Tracking me down and haunting me
It continued to hurt me more
The present may stop it
If I played my cards right
I trusted the so-called friends
The present dusted the past off
It drove me nuts
The past destroyed me in the present
My present friends walked away
And talked I really did killed his gay brother
They made up their mind
The past isn’t too kind
They took my past friend’s side
I looked deep inside of me
I can’t sleep in harmony
The damage have been done
Why can’t they leave the past alone?
It belonged in the past, not the present
We’re living in the present to the future
Not the other way around
Please don’t believe everything you hear
The past

Suicide
I thought about killing myself
My life was ruined
I put a knife through my heart
The pain ended for sure
A gun is a lot quicker
I aimed it at my head and pulled the trigger
BANG! I’m dead
Instead, I jumped over a bridge
The fast lane of cars killed me
The last of me splattered all over the highway
Nobody would know why I killed myself
The will to live became the will to die
I’m losing grip on life
Nobody has time to be there
They’re in their own worlds
Who would save me?
I’m still hurting from the troubles
The troubles may cost my life
I really don’t know what to do
I have to end it for once and for all
I’m against the wall of suicide
My downfall isn’t escaping the troubles
It’s making matters worse
In my heart, suicide isn’t the answer
But I have no other choice
I lost everything at my power
My mind was far from living
I’m giving it up for good
My life was so bent out of shape
It’s sending me to an early grave
Suicide is the biggest mistake of my life
I can’t make it in my life
The problems are too hard to face
Nobody understand how I feel
I can’t be free of the troubles
It’s giving me a chance
I tried to dance around it
I cried my eyes out and found suicide
I’ve no one and no place to turn to
I must face the music
Suicide
