Who am I (Hero Contest)

CATEGORY

life

Who am I but a man such as you,

A man, who at times, forgets his true nature,

Squandering his God given talents,

Thus hindering the blessings that awaits him.

Trying desparately to become one with the "In Crowd",

Losing sight of the goals he has yet to accomplish,

His life is no longer in the Hands of God,

Alone he feels for he has pushed loved ones away,

Angered he feels as he prayers are not answered,

Depressed he ackowledges for it is his only comfort.

Yes, I say to you that this man is a part of me,

But nay I say to you do not judge me based on that alone.

I stand before all and preach to you my inquities,

The many masks I wore to shelter the real me

In fear of not being accepted.

No more I say to you.

I am a gentle man whose heart is filled with love,

A man who will give his last if you are in need.

Emotional I am for I embrace my sensitive side,

I would shed a tear when yours have runneth dry,

Comfort you when no one else will.

I am a man who was raised in the church,

Yes, I havent attended for some time now,

But the teachings are instilled within me.

Look at me and gaze upon my flesh,

Riddled with tattoos, but each is symbolizes who I am.

Royalty is the blood that runs in my veins,

Patricia and Anthony are the names of my parents,

King is the last name I cherish deeply,

Can I live...a simple question...im still breathing am I not,

God forgive me... I have sinned dear Lord...

My strength...father you are,

My heart...mother you are,

A dove to smybolize God's love,

A lion's head to symbolize that I am a king in my own right,

A dragon to symbolize power,

A koy fish to symbolize strength,

A pheonix for I am reborn daily,

Oni Masks for I deeply love the japanese culture,

And a wolf for I am a warrior.

Who am I but a man such as you,

Flawed, yes, but a man none the same.

I seek not perfection,

Only wisdom.

What you see is all of me.

The masks are casted aside,

My guards are down,

I am naked before you.

Ridicule me,

Judge me,

Scorn me but, I will not change.

Accept me or distance yourself from me

I care not.

I am who I am.

The Night

The night brings about our deepest fears, as shadows from our fearful minds dance among the five senses. We tend to forget how beautiful the night is. the stars illuminate the moon's many phases commands the tides of our sunken emotions and rest comes easy to those who embrace it's comfort from today's issues.

FREESTYLE

I spit fire to set aflame the pages of my biography, call me an arsonist.

words of multiple meanings tell of a complex, yet simple personality,

change 123.

knowledge earned from constant battles of hardship, I am legend,

being reborn again as God breathes new life in me, I rise like the Pheonix.

homeward bound since birth I do not belong here,

each day I continue my journey towards the end of days I show no fear.

far from lonely the enemy can never own me,

I bear my armor, sword, and shield against foes who show no mercy.

I stand firm in my beliefs praying daily to God,

storing mp3s of musical hymns and the Word to keep me going for my brain is an Ipod.

here I stand,

words of yesterday I spoke of my testimony,

exposing myself for all to see.

I acknowledged my flaws, guilt, and shame,

for all of you were a witness to what I beca...

It Speaks For Itself (Freestyle Contest)

Unusual, weird, comical, annoying,

Describe me with every syllable and I say to you, "Etcera."

Hypocrite, judgemental, procrastinator, liar, weak,

Spread rumors of me and I say to you,"So what? "

I am here on this earth not to please you,

But you insist on trying to remove the plank that's in my eye;

Failing to realize that you too have one in your own eye.

I pity you as I laugh at your shortcomings,

Struggling to tear down my walls while I simply rebuild it;

Adding new bricks my future is already determined.

Just beyond my tunnel is a light so bright,

My struggle is near its end,

A new chapter I eagerly await to read what's next.

You may continue to watch my every move as much as you want,

For I take delight in pissing you off,

and as I make moves to further my dreams;

Your existence will only be an imagination.

Lyrical Flow of Victory From the Nameless Masses

Spittin' rhymes of a future only tenacious fools can visualize,

I welcome unacceptable torture from furious idols fighting for an unknown prize.

I fuel my thoughts distilled with glorious tools of destruction its made known to the wise,

Follow my plight until you become lost within the shades of fifty levels,

Bejeweled from the riches sent from Hades a hefty amount of consequences lay before you;

I dare you to run as devil dogs chase and bite at your ankles.

You claim to be truthful when your lips rehearse lies of shame I witnessed your deceitful blues.

Living life as though you were a righteous hypocrite you leave bhind esolveable clues,

Thinking your life is a struggle take time to walk in my shoes.

I speak for the ones who know trouble and embrace its negativity,

Breaking free from its grasp and press on to taste the sweetness of victory;

Praying and fasting to repent for their sins a...

Letting You Go

Into your arms you welcome me,

A peace so surreal I feel as though it is a dream.

Each morning I thank God to be alive,

Only to sin as we embrace and reconnect our bonds.

Your kiss of emptiness taints my thought process,

Mindless I become losing focus with each breath I take.

As the sun reaches its peak,

My lust for you quickens.

I yearn for your taste once more.

I must have it I say!

Ignited passion spoils over from your love filter,

Your taste dissipates all things negative;

And for a moment I am free.

Only for a moment I feel warmth,

But as that moment resides I am left with nothingness.

The sun rests and the moon awakens,

Loneliness creeps in through the door I intentionally left open.

She caresses my mournful heart playfully,

Teasing me I struggle to fight only to lose.

Again I feel your warmth and just as quick as she came i...

The Web of Deception

No Remorse for actions against love,

Deception flows fluently from his tongue;

a whisper of truthful lies in her ear she believes.

"You are my light that shines the brightest,

A star like no other I cherish wholeheartedly;

From the depths of my soul is a love that blossoms just for you,

To comfort and embrace you each time we reunite.

Spring's aura of blissful radiance is overshadowed next to yours,

A glow of happiness I wish to have all for myself.

"A match predestined to happen,

The events that led us to this moment,

The words we spoken from our hearts,

The time we spent together is part of an

amazing story already foretold.

Come away with me my dove,

Let us become one just the heavens preordained."

He smiles a devious smile,

Into her eyes he sees love of purity;

A love that his darkness thirsts for.

His web of deception has bee...

Caught Up In My Feelings

Unspoken words I say to you,

Upon a full moon our paths cross;

But alas we are worlds apart.

Free of the so-called bond we once shared,

Do either of us dare to speak a simple "Hello?"

To say such words our lips do not part,

Friendship shattered only emptiness my heart may rightfully bear.

From afar I witness beauty,

Melancholy tones harmonize in unity,

An unique atmosphere only you possess;

but the animosity geared towards you I truly detest.

Blaming myself for the entire mishap,

Failing to grasp the outcome in its entirety.

Unforseen signs my eyes seen yet did not wish to achknowledge;

That you too played a magnificent role in this as well!

From my shell I onced dwelled I seen new light my spirit uplifted and swelled,

Willing to share my world with an angel sent just for me....

Intermission is at hand for the scenes has changed,

Th...

The Untitled Journey (The Light Within Me)

Alone amidst the shadows,

A zone where light seeks solitude,

Expressions cease to exist,

And reason becomes illogical.

Death becomes irrational,

Taking the lives of the innocent;

As the thought of living brings about fear unparalleled.

Faith is suffocated by thorny bushes,

Prematurely nurtured only to perish in its prime,

Confidently falling back to allow the "The Norm" to proceed,

Smiling to mask the pain unbearable.

Where is my light?

Outstretched hands I frantically grasp the unreachable.

My heart calls to me, "I am here!"

My spirit yells, stay strong and believe!"

From within a flicker of light shines faintly.

A warmth so soothing tears overwhelm me.

"Why are you here amongst the shadows?

Why do you evoke death to rob you of what is unique to you?

I shine only for you, why have you forsaken me?

Love me as I love you,

Cheri...

Untitled

Take from me a partial of my integrity,

A moment to recognise what has been stolen,

I foresee options unparalleled to a level beneath me.

Intact are my emotions no longer a factor,

Reasons are active resolving each conflict,

A plan takes flight but to nowhere it lands upon deaf ears.

In a daze I realize my fears,

My weaknesses as well as my strengths,

My pride and my sorrow,

Pain that leads to confidence renewed;

Who am I to steal from myself that has formed me

Into the man I am today?

From this scene I return to where it all began,

Thoughts of love and as time progressed,

Love became a metaphor.

Thoughts of hatred and as time progressed,

Hatred became love.

Who am I to neglect the things that made me who I am?

My presence is unchanged,

Hear my thunderous battle cry,

For my integrity has returned on it own accord.

New Journey, Same Destination (hero contest)

Beaten but undefeated the war is far from over,

Beside me is God so there is no need to look over my shoulder,

Admist the raging storm I stood firm,

For I knew that if I quit then I've failed.

For our salvation to the cross He was nailed,

Believe what you will but truth is His word.

On this day I have witnessed a changed in me,

Still the same I remain but stronger I became,

Worries are negated for my tongue speaks not of defeat,

Lonliness I am not for loved ones present and gone are not forgotten,

Within me are the souls of my adorable parents,

Oh what a sensational feeling to know that I am well protected.

The devil is a lie if he thinks he has my soul,

I bathe in His almighty blood through Him I am made whole.

Fabricated schemes once set in motion by my hands are shredded,

For all my problems I bring it to the alter.

On a new journey is where I am headed,

But the destination is...
