Im alive
I lay still in my bed
I look calm on the outside,
but underneath I'm a mess
I stay quiet so I won't confess
The feelings I have buried
If I expressed them I would be exposed
My heart would lay upon your hand
My feet would be in quicksand
It wasn't a fast falling type of thing
It slowly grew inside of me
Until it completely took over my being
Sometimes I thought I must be dreaming
Something this good.. can't be a good thing
I keep waiting for the bad to come
But it doesn't, this is real
It's a scary thing, how I feel
It runs so...

Poker Face
Nonchalant..
I attempt
But inside
Unkempt
Emotions run
Wildly erratic
Electricity curses
Skin static
Shocking you
Electric touch
I'm sorry
Too much
To handle
I'm dangerous
I'm untamed
My mother
I blamed
She's crazy
So I too
Take after
Who knew?
I pretend
Role playing
Picture perfect
Person displaying
But
A disturbance
A shiny light
Moth drawn
Oh so bright
Facade cracks
Breaking free
Shedding skin
Volatile me
Wants you...

Fairy tales are for kids
I spilled my heart out
My chest ripped wide open
You can see my heart pound
It was a deafening sound
Sweat dripped from my face
Nervousness bubbling up
I told him my past and how I feel
Will he want me still?
It's quiet, apart from my heart
Tears build up in my eyes
One falls then another follows
He breathes in deep and swallows
My heart begins to break
I should of known
Silly me, why would he love me?
My ugly past he doesn't want to see
Before he says a word
I'm running away
Chest heaving I voice my pain...

Sleeping with the Enemy
I remember
Long walks
Late night talks
Wrestling in the dark
Fooling around at the park
How you said my name
Every time you came
And then you changed
A stranger in my bed
A double life you led
You were cold and distant
Former you nonexistent
Abusive mentally
Abusive... Physically
Excuses for you I gave
The old you I tried to save
I thought I was to blame
And it filled me with shame
You called me a whore
That you didn't know me anymore
You'd drink and yell
And hit me til I fell ...

Parent talk [a collab with PoetikMind]
Chubby fingers, tiny nails
Dimpled cheeks, loud wails
Curly hair, waddle walk
Goo goo gaga, baby talk
Double the trouble, I've got two
Little monsters, what about you?
Aaawww how well I remember!
The countin' of fingers n' toes.
Though she turned out perfect
there was much more to worry about, but I'd be ok I suppose.
"Lil monsters" you stated? Lol
I honestly can't relate it, my lil
one was destined to shine.
I swear this true, at only two
she hit twenty straight shots
into a six foot basket, ...

Space Flows
I'm so high I'm past cloud nine
I don't know how far I've gone
Yep I I think I've lost my damn mind
My heart as well, and my watch I cannot find
Time...Time seems to slip away.
With you, hours become minutes.
I get lost in your eyes, please help me.
I tend to feel drunk in your presence you see.
You are intoxicating, an addiction.
I want more of this, this feeling you give
She likes it too, I don't want to share
She knew you first? Well I don't care
She can kick rocks. Give me all of you.
Embrace me and let me consume you
I'll fall...

SeCrETS
Tell me your secrets
And I'll tell you mine
Deep dark secrets
Chills to your spine
I've done bad things
I've done good as well
But unless you share
I will never ever tell
Do not fear I will not judge
I am not one to taunt
For I have my own
That endlessly haunt
It clutches at my brain
Refusing to let go
It feeds on me
Slowing down blood flow
I can't get away
No it's a fucking leech
Sucking slowly, sucking..
"Get out of my head!" I screech
But it's still there
Scratching at the...

Be my valentine
I watch you from within the shadow
I know your schedule like it's my own
I take pictures but you don't know
A voodoo doll of you I've sewn
Your name written inside my tiny notebook
You don't know me but I certainly know you
My bloody heart you unknowingly took
I know not what else to do so I stalk you
You have got a girlfriend, what a pretty little thing
I don't like watching you two kiss
I want to gut her until she becomes nothing
One stab and trust me I won't miss
For I shall play Cupids part
I will take her out the equation once...

The Candy Man
Purple trees, and not the kind you smoke
Blue trees, deep midnight blue almost black
Am I on one? Did I try some coke?
I'm not sure what I'm seeing but I watch my back
I walk on a yellow brick road like I'm in oz
Only I've got no red shoes and I'm not Dorothy
That's when I see a odd looking creature with giant paws
Furry little thing with a long tail and swarthy
He gestures for me to follow.. And so I do..
He's a ugly thing and reeks awfully bad..
So why I follow I haven't got a clue
But I do, and with a pep in my step I might add
He...

My Squad
Me and my crew remain hidden in the shadows
Two takes the right side, We take the left, ready to flank
Our enemies unaware that we enclose
I have my knife out ready to shank
The shiv queen, miss forty k, in for the stealth kill
they never see me coming they are focused on my right
Adrenaline rushing, I love the thrill
I hear shots going off, and then I have two in my sight
One is shooting, the other is throwing grenades
I go for the one busting off the shots
I look to my partner we both have out our blades
Inching closer, my stomach is in knots...

BloodHound:
I wake up smack the buzzer, nuts cold but its almost winter
but only better its fall, its shroom season everyday is an adventure. I grab my north face and my paper lunch bags throw em in the pack and get rolling. Ringing up the homie red and see if she wants in 'yo wakey bakey homie thunderstorms last two days its on baby'
She laughs with a tired voice, 'come on get up gotta beat the park traffic and sunlight be there in 20 mins ill walk in peace killa.' So about 20 hits of this primo joint I rolled later I'm out the door, looking to score some killa cyanesenes aka...
