To Whom It May Concern
To Whom It May Concern
Some years ago you shot me In the heart
If I'd of known this would of been the outcome I'd of ended It before we even started
Because now I'm walking around scared and cold hearted
I kinda of wish I never met you but at the same time I know I needed to learn that lesson
It's Just... why did It have to be from you? I thought you were a blessing
But Instead you got me over here stressing
I gotta pop pills Just to get a little rest In
They say what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger
But If I'm being honest this Is killing me...

Thank You (A Poem To The Devil)
It's hard to beat a person that never gives up
So with that In mind I really think you should give up because I'm never giving up
But then again I guess neither are you
But your Just wasting your time, why don't you find sometime better to do?
Man I can't even count how many times you've tried to get me to fall
But through all your nonsense I'm still here standing tall
It's almost like you're not relevant at all
But I do thank you for the experiences you've given me
Because I would have never dealt with any of that BS willingly
So I guess It's...

I need to vent
No matter what happens the damage has been done
I remember when I would Just like at you for fun
Your smile reminded me of the sun
And I was feeling like I’d won
The lottery or some thing
But then you had to go and do that one thing
And that Just messed everything all up
Now I gotta put the walls back up
Fuck
The situation Is hopeless and your to blame
Because no matter how It ends I’m never gonna look at you the same
I have to kill you In a sense
And when you have to kill someone you care about It hurts because you’re dead to me
And the...

My 1st Time Going To A Club/Passion
The music was mediocre and the vibe was bad
On my way out the club apparently mad
About coming to this sweat box when I saw her
My mouth hit the floor like a cartoon and now my Jaw hurt
She grabbed my attention like a fine work of art
This girl looks pretty good, where should I start?
Her lips reminded me of pink starburst
They looked soft and sweet
The club lights revealed her body, she was sexy down from her head to her feet
Now I'd be lying If I said I didn't wanna fuck
And since I'm being perfectly honest I wanted to rail her like a Mac Truck...

I really liked this girl and I blindly put her on a pedestal
She wasn’t Interested though and now I’m feeling like a fool
But it’s cool
You see I turn negatives into positives damn near everyday
And it’s for that reason alone that I can confidently say
Its okay
Despite the fact that I’m writing about it she’s at no fault at all
It’s all my own
When I say things like that it’s how I know I’ve grown
But anyways she had lustrous eyes, captivating hips and mesmerizing thighs
And I let all of these things take me by surprise
Which lead to...

I Paint Pictures With My Words
I paint pictures with my words
Can you see It?
I'm thinking about my next girl
And how you should be It
We could be walking along the beach toes In the sand hand In hand
Or maybe relaxing by the Ocean
Or maybe somewhere coasting
Crushing, on a road trip leaving all the bullshit In review
Nothing In our sights but a clear view
Hah
I'm Just tryina get near you
Envision the vision as I continue to paint with my words
We could smoke a blunt and get high like the birds
Or maybe talk about our favorite books like some nerds
Ok I'm out of...

Fragments Of My Past
I had a dream today and then it turned into a nightmare
I thought I was over this shit
I thought I didn't care
Fragments of my past
It’s like a splinter in my brain that I can’t get out and it still hurts
I saw her
I saw her in my dream or rather nightmare
What goes around comes around
Yeah that’s true
These feelings keep trying to hold me down but I gotta break through
Listening to music only makes it worse
I’m just going through the motions living with this curse
These feelings came out of nowhere and hit me like a ton of bricks

Stress
Knowledge Is pain, sometimes I envy the Ignorant
What you don't know won't hurt you
That's some real shit
I often think to myself I don't want the world to break me
Or for unforeseen occurrences to shape me
Into something I don't wanna be
I want my own Identity
I don't wanna be another statistic
I set goals but they feel so unrealistic
Obstacles that my optical can't see always seam to screw me up
I feel like the world Is a monster that tried to eat me but thew me up
And said on second thought you can suffer nigga
What doesn't kill you only...

I can't get this girl off my mind
I've been thinking about her consecutively
I Just want her next to me
Sometimes I think to myself what makes her so unique?
The cool personality? Or her sexy physique?
Its crazy I feel like this and she don't even know It
Up at 2 AM writing rhymes like I'm some kind of poet
And I'm laughing to myself because I know I sound like Drake right now
Matter of fact
Ima play Pound Cake right
But yeah
It's rare that I meet a girl I'm genuinely attracted to
I feel like I've been here before
Déjà vu?...

A Quick Kiss
It’s cold outside and I’m getting ready to leave
As I start walking to my car, she pulls on my sleeve
“Give me a kiss” she says
I turn around and close the gap between us in one motion
Then I realize she has on my favorite, coco butter lotion
We lock eyes and she starts smiling uncontrollably
I walk a little closer, and then she grabs a hold of me
I savor the thrill I’m about to fell as I go in for the kill
Then we kiss
Ignorance is bliss

Have you ever had to get over someone you never had?
Whenever you think about them you tell yourself “Damn I want them so bad”
Believe It or not, that’s how she makes me feel
And I know writing this poem is probably vanity
But when I put my thoughts on paper it helps me reclaim some of my sanity
Maybe I’m crazy about her? Nahh
I’ve always been a hopeless romantic I guess, but all I can do is try, and right now this is my best
I don’t even know this girl but I think about her almost everyday
And if we actually talked I’d have so much to say
I love how it’s...
