Pick em Up
Your feelings got knocked down
So pick em up girl and
finally lay that shit to rest
You won't get far with these
consistent habits and contradictions
Chronically depressed, and years later
still a mess
Time to get some help
because then it turns into you
being the cause of this shit
So pick em up girl and
finally lay that shit to rest
You won't get far with these
consistent habits and contradictions
Chronically depressed, and years later
still a mess
Time to get some help
because then it turns into you

Another Nameless One
Someone politely reminded
me that I wasn’t remembering
you in the best way that I could
That I wasn't letting what isn't
real control me
I still feel like I'm spiraling
because she made me out to
be so much like you
-That she hated it
So all I could see was me in you
and that I loved you the best
even though she didn't want me to
know you
I knew you and knew I wanted you
here so much
Today, I’m really not ok
me that I wasn’t remembering
you in the best way that I could
That I wasn't letting what isn't
real control me
I still feel like I'm spiraling
because she made me out to
be so much like you
-That she hated it
So all I could see was me in you
and that I loved you the best
even though she didn't want me to
know you
I knew you and knew I wanted you
here so much
Today, I’m really not ok

Nameless
Just ranting.
…
I'm not the same as I was
four days ago
Before I changed eight
months ago
Before I was different
almost a year ago
Every time, a little or a
lot more fear was put
into me on those three separate
occasions
Reminders constantly
associated
With what comes from my
mouth
So that my triggers are at
The forefront
Realizing that I'm being
Pinpointed for the things I
wanted no parts of
Because the biggest
heartbreak came when
you...

Tribute
Vicious worship reverberating
through your bones
A howl rent the air as the
echoes cut from the groan
Cut short
Cut off
Forgetting how to breathe
through these feelings
of sweet ecstasy
Snap
Crunch
Gurgle
The sounds of greedy feeding
on a ripe, red apple bleeding
Sweet metal on the tongue
as the body grew cold and numb
to the core
Reached a peak before the
clouds ran over, never bleak
And nothing more
Knowing what this was,...
through your bones
A howl rent the air as the
echoes cut from the groan
Cut short
Cut off
Forgetting how to breathe
through these feelings
of sweet ecstasy
Snap
Crunch
Gurgle
The sounds of greedy feeding
on a ripe, red apple bleeding
Sweet metal on the tongue
as the body grew cold and numb
to the core
Reached a peak before the
clouds ran over, never bleak
And nothing more
Knowing what this was,...

I'm Straight
I don't get it
Never have and maybe
I never will
But why is it that
you call yourself
a functioning adult
Who can't even communicate
the simplest things in life?

Fix What I Never Really Had
I'm content with
creating my own
Shunned and booted
from most of the
family I know
"It seems like we're burning bridges with
all the people we know. Well you with your
family, you know."
I don't control what they
do and how they do it
I'm just now having relationships
with folks who felt that I wasn't a priority
So I have to take second base when
it comes to them and I deserve better
Because its best to just fade into
the background without a sound
I'm not fighting anymore or...

Conditioning
In the den of snakes
Play the game
For safety's sake
All it takes is just
one strike
The venom in your
veins
Sharp like a knife
and burns up your life
So fall in line
Learn the program
Accept the conditioning
because you'll need it to
survive
In this world of lies
Play the game
For safety's sake
All it takes is just
one strike
The venom in your
veins
Sharp like a knife
and burns up your life
So fall in line
Learn the program
Accept the conditioning
because you'll need it to
survive
In this world of lies

Smile
A million and one tries
And yet you'll still smile
for someone else that isn't me
Like that doesn't hurt
my feelings
And yet you'll still smile
for someone else that isn't me
Like that doesn't hurt
my feelings

From the Hood
I don't trap
I don't stay strapped
Nah I don't know where
the weed man at
Nah we can't dap
No you can't have a plate so
stop asking for that plus one
to the cookout, we straight
I won't rob you or hit a lick
comin through to yo crib
I don't bite
I don't snap
Don't insinuate that I have
an attitude or that I'm angry
when I open my mouth or disagree with you
No you can't touch my hair
or smooth brown skin
And damn sure don't call me
sis or use AAVE...

I'm Not Really Drunk
There you go girl
Throwing em all back
Every shot straight to
the head
But she's not dead inside
Finally doing shit for herself
because she's alive
She can handle her liquor
She can handle her drink
in her hand more than you know
This juice don't make her
numb
Because that's not what she do
Throwing em all back
Every shot straight to
the head
But she's not dead inside
Finally doing shit for herself
because she's alive
She can handle her liquor
She can handle her drink
in her hand more than you know
This juice don't make her
numb
Because that's not what she do

Different
There she goes again
Taking it out of proportion
It's so hard not to
believe what she once thought
Because the scars
Proved what was and
What it would never be again
So she tries
She works hard
She sees progress
She sees herself
She is Healing
Taking it out of proportion
It's so hard not to
believe what she once thought
Because the scars
Proved what was and
What it would never be again
So she tries
She works hard
She sees progress
She sees herself
She is Healing

Just a Friend
That's all I'll ever be
All I'll stay
Just a friend
Cause it's not like you'll notice
or care anyway
All I can do is take a back seat
drive to Nowhere-Land
Thinking of you
It hurts, yet it doesn't
all the same
To watch you so oblivious, uncaring,
and crushing after another
What's wrong with me?
I'm not even this insecure
My heart seems to hate me
for feeling this way
My head, screaming it hates me
for thinking this way
Promised i'd never do
anything to make myself hurt this...
