No More Work For Me

~ Frank Solanki ~ 126 Comments

Here I am at my desk

Doing my regular work

I’m doing the best I can

Trying not to be a jerk

There’s so much work to be done

So many files to complete

So many people to please

So many deadlines to meet

Is this what I was born for?

I won’t be coming to work tomorrow

…

There is so much pressure

That it gives me a fright

I think about it at home

I think about it at night

I try to catch some sleep

But it is just no good

I do what I shouldn’t

I smile when I should

Yell and say, “I can’t take it anymore”

I won’t be coming to work tomorrow

…

I feel like a robot

Doing the same old stuff

Except that it gets harder

Except that it gets tough

For I have no motivation

I have no regards

For work that is perfectly

Suitable for retards

I should have quit this place a long time ago

I won’t be coming to work tomorrow
…

The screen’s getting blurry

The keyboard’s laughing at me

The mouse is getting squeaky

Is this where I should be?

The pen refuses to write

The fingers refuse to type

The head knows not what is right

Is this all a massive hype?

Don’t you feel sorry for my sorrow?

I won’t be coming to work tomorrow
…

I’ve got a solution

I’d quit and I’ll resign

I don’t give a damn

I won’t stay here till nine

I’d spend time with my kids

I’d spend time with my wife

I’d do all that I love

I’d go out and live my life

So I grab my boss’ collar and let him know

I won’t be coming to work tomorrow

The Sky Is Pouring Fire

~ Frank Solanki ~ 37 Comments

The sky is pouring fire
Every drop is burning my skin
Like a wretched liar
That leaks of sins within
Futile it is to seek
A shelter for the flames inside
‘Tis better not to speak
And let the truth decide
What is written in my fate
Should I run or should I wait
What is right and what is not
What is lost and what is got

So Am I

~ Frank Solanki ~ 92 Comments

Mirrors are broken
Rules are broken
Promises are broken
So am I
Hearts are broken
So am I
…
Wallet is lost
Memory is lost
Family is lost
So am I
Mind is lost
So am I
…
Babies are crying
Shame is crying
Needs are crying
So am I
Clouds are crying
So am I
…
Body is weak
Resistance is weak
Faith is weak
So am I
Men are weak
So am I
…
Glass is empty
House is empty
Soul is empty
So am I
Thoughts are empty
So am I
…
Battery is dead
Ideas are dead
Chester is dead
I will be too
Hopes are dead
I will be too

A Letter To My Heart

~ Frank Solanki ~ 122 Comments

Dear heart, I was straying
Didn’t hear what you were saying
All these years that you have bled
While I was listening to my head
Well I know I have hurt you a lot
But you’re the only one I’ve got
So take my hand and walk with me
Away from here and we’ll be free
Leave a trail and the world behind
A different world then we will find
I’ve seen you hurt. I’ve seen you break
I’ve seen you pain. I’ve seen you ache
I’ve seen you harmed. I’ve seen you torn
Still you always kept beating on
All this while you’ve walked alone
Now we’ll chart a road of our own
So take my hand and walk with me
Away from here and we’ll be free
Leave a trail and the world behind
A different world then we will find
Take a moment and catch some sleep
Now is not the time to weep
Your tears aren’t lost on me
It is there for all to see
All the stars will light our way
And everything will be okay
So take my hand and walk with me
Away from here and we’ll be free
Leave a trail and the world behind
A different world then we will find

Mr. Invisible

~ Frank Solanki ~ 78 Comments

I can see you but you don’t see me
When you’re in need you call for me
Who am I? Who am I? I am Mr. Invisible
I do your homework, take your blame
When you play your silly games
Who am I? Who am I? I am Mr. Scapegoat
I stare at you, adore your smile
But you never talk a while
Who am I? Who am I? I am Mr. Snub
You and your friends have a laugh
When you call me an ugly giraffe
Who am I? Who am I? I am Mr. Clown
Your boyfriend puts me in my place
When he punches me in my face
Who am I? Who am I? I am Mr. Punching Bag
You saw me cry at my desk today
But you didn’t have a word to say
Who am I? Who am I? I am Mr. Ignore
Someday I’ll be on my way
Distant, yonder and faraway
Who am I? Who am I? I am Mr. Nobody
Someday I won’t be there at all
But not a single tear would fall
Who am I? Who am I? I am Mr. Invisible

I Keep Walking This Endless Street

~ Frank Solanki ~ 64 Comments

I keep walking this endless street
There is no one I do meet
In my head are a thousand thoughts
Fastened together with rough knots
A dim light I see afar
Guided by a lonely star
Save me from my own self
I am really of no help
Peaceful homes where people sleep
Pass me by as I weep
Alone I feel so incomplete
I keep walking this endless street
I am getting out of breath
Sometimes I feel that sudden death
Is better than pain and suffering
Better than I feel everything
So test my knees and test my heart
Until my weakened soul departs
Away to a distant foreign land
Where there’s nothing to understand
My empty heart just skipped a beat
I keep walking this endless street
Pick my sorrows and lay them down
Cover the streets of this endless town
I’d speak the truth if there was an ear
I’d tell my dreams if you were near
The birds they sing a desolate song
This is not where I belong
You think I’m happy, I am strong
I am weak and you are wrong
So I accept my defeat
I keep walking this endless street

Heaven’s Grace

~ Frank Solanki ~ 52 Comments

The sky raised itself. It felt so warm

I waited for you with open arms

I felt every single thing except your heart

The softest breeze there ever was

Blew without a single cause

Tearing, watching my skin fall apart

A voice came down from heaven’s grace

Into this lonely, empty space

A message that my ears already knew

I cried a little, then I smiled

I sat there thinking for a while

The thing I had to let go was you

With that feeling I felt so light

Like I dropped a weight overnight

I never needed anybody else but me

I laughed at my former self

The one that cried and yelled for help

Such a small price to pay to be free

Let Me Be Drowned

~ Frank Solanki ~ 47 Comments

I have but one wish for now

Take my soul if you must

For a while I’d lie down

And watch the clouds go burst

Let it pour till I’m drenched

In the unforgiving rain

Fill up all my scars

The hurt and the pain

Then let me be drowned

I will not move from here

Until my eyes close forever

And my body disappear

Little Allefly

~ Frank Solanki ~ 37 Comments

My little sister, Allefly

With hair of crimson red

Very timid, mousy and shy

A tiny worm can get her scared

…

She is scared of the dark

Never wants the light to go away

Pretty scared when stray dogs bark

From school to home, on her way

…

But she isn’t afraid of telling the truth

Nor even afraid to speak her mind

Like the time she broke Anne’s tooth

And confessed to being quite unkind

…

Nor is she afraid of any bully

Neither afraid to say ‘No’

Like the time Little Wooly

Asked her out for a show

…

She is neither scared of me

Though I have more numbers to my age

She punches me when we disagree

And then puts on a loving bandage

Peculiar Green Guests

~ Frank Solanki ~ 53 Comments

I flashed a light in the sky

With a small mirror in my hand

And beheld with my naked eye

A UFO dropped down on land

And out came two green creatures

With a tail each and eyes a-poppin’

A thousand other eerie features

The aliens had come a-droppin’

I looked up at the sky again

For I found it quite hard to digest

“Why can’t He throw down snow or rain

Instead of peculiar green guests?”
