If I don't solve our problems right now
Everything will explode,
But what bothers me more:
If I somehow get back to sleep,
This sense of urgency to fix things
Will be gone in the morning

SUBCONSCIOUS POEM
"There is caffeine in chocolate"
The subconscious mind
Relayed to my conscious self
Because it needed a rationale
To stay awake
And my subconscious feared
The everyday death
That is sleep
The subconscious mind
Relayed to my conscious self
Because it needed a rationale
To stay awake
And my subconscious feared
The everyday death
That is sleep

And so again
I’m tangled in sheets
while Gods flip a coin
tossing the mind
from wake or sleep
And so here I am
eyes open wide
As the house has won again
Maybe tomorrow
They won’t gamble
allowing the mind to rest
perhaps I can get an hour
while Gods flip a coin
tossing the mind
from wake or sleep
And so here I am
eyes open wide
As the house has won again
Maybe tomorrow
They won’t gamble
allowing the mind to rest
perhaps I can get an hour

bliss is for the blessed
for those they deem
as gifted
are the ones
suffering
in plain sight
and the depths of the night
i read somewhere here
that
ordinary is a blessing
just ask any poet

how those tables turn.
You were giving up on me,
And I still wanted you.
Now I've given up on you,
And you're wanting me.
And I still wanted you.
Now I've given up on you,
And you're wanting me.

One day
You fell in love with the Stars in my eyes,
With the melody in my laughter.
Then one day you told me,
You were tired of the night sky,
And the song I was singing.
With the melody in my laughter.
Then one day you told me,
You were tired of the night sky,
And the song I was singing.

What you cradle when your vision of love dies? Never seen Pops and Moms love in close ties. Bastard baby, Bastards made me, dont question my crazy. I been a humble saint, dont make me end sane, please. No time for fugazi. Times played me with times so shady. Born a 90's baby feeling pressure from the 80's. Who saved me? Only my inner peace through chains freed. Looking for love, sorry if paths been shaky. Couldn't trust it. How could I? When the only view I have is bird eye. Feeling like fuck everybody, but I let the song cry. They cry often. I Radio Raheem the coffin. Just to find something to get lost in.
But It's fine.

Would he have or may still
love(d) her 'til the end of his time
and
she wonders if only
for the lack of melded circumstance
*thoughts as the clock strikes three
and the pen bleeds upon the illuminated page
