find that rhythm and you will probably agree.

hip-hop shoes

hip-hop shoes've been everywhere,
hip-hop shoes make people stare;
hip-hop shoes sing the blues,
hip-hop shoes are not for fools.

hip-hop shoes dance night and day,
hip-hop shoes go out to play;
hip-hop shoes step to the beat,
hip-hop shoes are on your feet.

hip-hop shoes are in style,
hip-hop shoes make people smile;
hip-hop shoes are smooth and quick,
hip-hop shoes always fit.

hip-hip shoes go 'round the world,
hip-hop shoes get all the girls;
hip-hop shoes fly through the air
hip-hop shoes are on the feet of the mayor.

hip-hop shoes i love to wear,
hip-hop shoes, i have a pair;
hip-hop shoes, mine, all mine,
hip-hop shoes send shivers down my spine.

haha yep a super rhyme-y poem for people who like poems that rhyme (for example, cheryl ang).

guess the next one's kinda sad.
digs up memories of bad times i once had.

alone

alone is a darkness that laughs in your face.
when you wake up it will all be erased.
you think you're safe
ha, please the treatment gets done by everybody
even me.
i have been scared and sometimes shed a few tears
lying down in my cold bed thinking it's not real.
my eyes almost closed, brain half asleep, mine in
Wonderland it must be the heat.
now i want to go to bed and
now i am beneath alone's wing.

ahwell. that's all for today.
cannot go on showing poems here. haha. xD
i am just too lazy to blog.

cya! =)

p.s.
here's another one to add to the blend;
it may be hard to comprehend,
cos it's in american slang.

friendship

since the days when the now&laters melted in our
pockets
i hate friendship
we be together every day
chino suarez is my best friend
friendship makes me think how
y'all been my peoples; had my back
you think you my friend? i thought so, too
you've been my friend
i mean cuz there's too many two-faces
chillin and doin shit we ain't supposed to
if we got to throw down we gonna throw down
i would have been alone all my life
never had friends like this
but a friend doesn't two-face you
my back-up, my confidant, my partner in crime
you don't really know who to trust
trying to be big boys, trying to run shit
we talk about shit we can't even tell our moms about
if i didn't have a friend
like fam, yo, for real, for life
a friend doesn't steal from you and lie to you
and even when things got rough
i only have one true friend
acting like we hard when we really not
but we boys so we talk to each other
a boy, a dog, a nigga
better than family cuz we ain't had ta rock together
you ain't my best friend or friend
your laugh we there
even that's not what i call friendship
but you know why/cause we boys to the end, dogs
and that's my idea of friendship
maybe a girlfriend
we chose ta rock together, you know
but we still peoples
to smooth things out
