Absolution
Take me back
Take me back
To before conception
Take me back
To before I placed a seed of deception
Take me back
To the earliest memory of my being
Take me back
To the birth of the soul within me
Take me back
To the day it was written
No
Take me back
To the actual day I manifested
Take me back
To make me a witness
Take me back
To not needing forgiveness
Take me back
Take me back
To teach me
Take me back
Take me back
Take me back
Take me back
To before conception
Take me back
To before I placed a seed of deception
Take me back
To the earliest memory of my being
Take me back
To the birth of the soul within me
Take me back
To the day it was written
No
Take me back
To the actual day I manifested
Take me back
To make me a witness
Take me back
To not needing forgiveness
Take me back
Take me back
To teach me
Take me back
Take me back
Take me back

Before u say hi...
I’m the type that needs constant reassuring.
Don’t let me feel unwanted and needing your attention.
Longing for your affection.
I only want to be someone’s blessing.
Grateful for the way I was raised,
Never anyone’s mental slave.
I make my own decisions.
I speak to my hearts beat.
I see rainbows inside of everyone’s soul.
I see potential, I seek growth.
I’m spiritual and strong,
I can admit when I am wrong.
I value integrity and respect a tongue that cares and repairs...
The damages within.
I am more...
Don’t let me feel unwanted and needing your attention.
Longing for your affection.
I only want to be someone’s blessing.
Grateful for the way I was raised,
Never anyone’s mental slave.
I make my own decisions.
I speak to my hearts beat.
I see rainbows inside of everyone’s soul.
I see potential, I seek growth.
I’m spiritual and strong,
I can admit when I am wrong.
I value integrity and respect a tongue that cares and repairs...
The damages within.
I am more...

The Love I Have
Moonless nights storm past in a fury
The deep black is encasing
Ravenous across the lands and seas
Perfect faith is what you would need
A sky void of the bright sunlight
The ground never satisfied
Always thirsty
Always wanting
Always needing
The deep black is encasing
Ravenous across the lands and seas
Perfect faith is what you would need
A sky void of the bright sunlight
The ground never satisfied
Always thirsty
Always wanting
Always needing

Makeup Layup
It was as though a storm had just dissipated and the aftermath was shocking.
The silence was deafening.
Screeching actually.
They both lie helplessly on the bed.
Exhausted,
Relieved...
In some way incomplete.
The anger of the day had drifted off into the night.
By morning there would be many new possibilities for an amazing day.
Lets try again,
tomorrow.
A goodnight kiss on her forehead sealed the mood,
the warm strokes across his back,
mothered him into sweet slumber.
The silence was deafening.
Screeching actually.
They both lie helplessly on the bed.
Exhausted,
Relieved...

Lets try again,

A goodnight kiss on her forehead sealed the mood,
the warm strokes across his back,

Miseducation of Medication unfinished draft
You don't medicate because you are sick.
Sick of the images of yourselves
Sick of the pestering stares
Sick of worrying who cares...
You medicate to suffocate the fear...
The pain, the anger, the despair...
Sick of the images of yourselves
Sick of the pestering stares
Sick of worrying who cares...
You medicate to suffocate the fear...
The pain, the anger, the despair...

Self Acceptance?
I’ve come to a ridiculous conclusion...
I am an alien
No one else resembles me
No mother, no father, no look alike
I am an alien
When I speak, no one is able to understand me
I get judged and disliked almost instantly
Is it because...
I am an alien?
Are there other intellectual beings like me?
Where do I find them?
Do I have to cross several seas?
Alone and outcast no one around me
No popular crowds, no friends, no foes
Just loneliness and solitude
I am an alien
I don’t believe in what others do
Some things...
I am an alien
No one else resembles me
No mother, no father, no look alike
I am an alien
When I speak, no one is able to understand me
I get judged and disliked almost instantly
Is it because...
I am an alien?
Are there other intellectual beings like me?
Where do I find them?
Do I have to cross several seas?
Alone and outcast no one around me
No popular crowds, no friends, no foes
Just loneliness and solitude
I am an alien
I don’t believe in what others do
Some things...

What is Respect
Respect is
When you yell I listen.
Even though you shouldn’t be yelling, I don’t yell at you.
Respect is
When you are embarrassed around others, I comfort you and appease the crowd,
Taking all the negative attention away from you.
Respect is
When you are wrong, I keep communicating until we both can be understood.
Respect is
When I am wrong, I give you the floor, Never running out the door.
Respect is
When I cry, You always want to know why?
You comfort me and never tell a lie.
Respect is
When we disagree, We...
When you yell I listen.
Even though you shouldn’t be yelling, I don’t yell at you.
Respect is
When you are embarrassed around others, I comfort you and appease the crowd,
Taking all the negative attention away from you.
Respect is
When you are wrong, I keep communicating until we both can be understood.
Respect is
When I am wrong, I give you the floor, Never running out the door.
Respect is
When I cry, You always want to know why?
You comfort me and never tell a lie.

Tarnished
I was robbed.
You took something from me.
Deep down underneath the spirit of me.
You peeled back my layers.
You invaded me.
I saw you coming a mile away.
No surprise attacks.
I watched.
I waited.
I loathed the days you infiltrated.
I cried each time.
I wanted to die.
There was no one to tell.
Everyone already knew.
You did everything you could to control their points of view.
A barbituous liar.
That's what you made me out to be.
A hideous coward in you they could not see.
I wrote diarys.
I told...

I WILL DIE
ONE DAY I WILL DIE
You will too.
None of us can escape this you know.
It comes for all of us somehow...
In the night,
In the day,
At work and at play...
But not for some you know...
It comes by force, by the law,
by the ones who protect,
by the ones who swore...
An oath is just a promise.
Their power is what fuels their hidden agendas
Give them a badge,
give them a suit,
and watch them lay us down deep below their boots.
I'm concerned for the lives of all people
We are One
You will too.
None of us can escape this you know.
It comes for all of us somehow...
In the night,
In the day,
At work and at play...
But not for some you know...

by the ones who protect,
by the ones who swore...
An oath is just a promise.
Their power is what fuels their hidden agendas
Give them a badge,
give them a suit,
and watch them lay us down deep below their boots.
I'm concerned for the lives of all people

useless talent
Use your talent
Your good, they say
You should be writing books... One day
What if I’m scared?
What if I sound like just another unimaginative, uninspired drunk?
What if I don’t believe I have a voice?
In everyday life no one listens to me anyway...
I’m just a word on a sheet of paper.
A ballpoint pen to a page
A name until I’m made a number
What am I waiting for?
I have to be my inspiration...
Why must I always look to others for respect when
I don’t care what they think either way.
