Ideals
If I had to love you
I'd buy myself a kitty pool
To lie in face down
For when you aren't around
I’d stay ignorant to all the truths
That arise when i'm not with you
I’d bide the time
With raps and rhymes
Letting my hopes sprawl out into infinity
Until each was an echo
Of a chorus whos song
I'll sing
But whose words
I'll never know
Self Help
Help a nigga
Help a nigga
Cause a nigga needs some help
Self help
Self reflection
More reflection than that
That comes off this little window
I squeezed myself into
Knowin’ I did not fit
It made me dream of malleability
Than stretched its hands to offer elasticity
I accepted with open arms
To spite those cold shoulders
But this glare of this endless black sea
Hindered my vision
And left me at the beck and call
Of those sirens in the distance.
2 Cents of Adolescence
You are so much more
Than flesh and bone
A drifting dream
Fluorescent tones
So if you find yourself drifting away
Please come back
My eyes are no longer accustomed to the monotone
It seemed my feet were calloused to bear black and white terrain
I'd grown blind to starry nights and numb to rainy days
And bore the same weight as those adolescence told
That to garner strength
One must learn to eat the pain
Without warning it might swallow you
So you surround yourselves with those burying their sorrow too
For fear that if y'all dig it up the pain may only serve to hollow you
Push you to lean on solitude
So is woe
