A Short Stupid Poem
i spy with my eye a shy guy just getting by,
living high between cries,
no lie or alibi,
*sigh* i don't even try,
why comply till I die?

Social Anxiety
In a crowd of people,
with my eyes locked on my phone,
wishing i was here alone,
but no..
I am surrounded by small talk,
i wish i could just walk around the block
never stop,
as the time ticks on,
I am sorry but I am just not that strong,
I want to say something though,
we all go though shit i know,
but i am paralyzed by the unknown,
I got a frog in my throat,
a bandage on my soul,
maybe i should go,
but you want me to stay,
suck it up and start to play the part,
look smart and well put together,
but...

a slave squinting behind a cracked mask
these endless fractals of my mental confinement
are only trumped by the sea of regret that floods into my soul with each passing moment.
the beast within me, no..
the beast within us must survive in a civilized world.
society damns us with the burden of connection,
the meaningless pleasantries,
the aggressive cries for validation,
it is ironic then that I dream of utopias only to ravage them with my own sin,
So in this moment i find myself a slave squinting behind a cracked mask.
eyes cast to the ground in fear,
fear of a vast world untouched by my...

an addict in autumn
As these leafs in front of me scratch the concrete
carried from a distant breeze moving east
i see my summer dreams float towards the sea,
i believe the seasons are healing,
nature repeatedly gives my life meaning,
but as the air becomes crisp,
i think of the opportunities i missed,
it seems tragic,
matter of fact I'm stuck in past habits,
dabbling in the acts of an addict,
attracted to the dose,
i guess i am just pragmatic,
but life goes on,
the leafs continue to fall,
nah, it all falls down,
I've been here before, ...

i hate me every time i f**k you.
I am tired of running,
Stumbling looking for something,
Looking for love but all I got is lust,
I can’t even trust these hands..
They always take too much,
So am I looking for love or looking to fuck?
Am I looking to duck out the door
As soon as I see that you want more,
I can’t let you inside of me,
So I guess it’s a one way street,
I can’t let you confide in me,
I can’t let you feel my heart beat,
Me? I have been repeatedly defeated,
So my emotions I conceded,
See through beliefs with no inner peace,
So I leave in pieces,...

f**k a God
I think you lost it,
Sinking with sick prophet’s logic,
Honestly fuck a god, I seek the truth
See me backpack rapping through the back of the zoo,

maybe i should be on a display
I don't know who I am anymore,
I thought I knew but I was wrong,
Everything changes so quickly,
all my friends are long gone,
I just can't keep up with my own life,
I fuck up regularly,
a life peppered with strife,
I guess I wouldn't have it any other way though,
that is good cuz in this body my mind stays,
Happiness seems so epically far away,
every mistake I make drains me,
maybe i should be on a display,
the one who strayed too far away,
I can't keep these emotions at bay,
my thoughts are like a freeway at rush hour,
nonstop with...

Dope Boy
hold up..wait a minute,
I am vicious, fittin to kill in,
cooking up keys like a fucking musician,
call me a dirty skillet,
I am in the kitchen with a dope vision,
for real man,
I got millions on the digits,
a few bitches I call my carrier pigeons,
as they prepare to pass over the pacific,
is that too specific?
fuck a witness,
and a judicial opinion,
I am not forgiving,
They can't put me in prison,
I'll split my spine before the verdict is written,
Pray to your religion I am out here getting mine,
I am on a fucking...

running on empty straight to hell
left standing speechless,
frozen without reason,
i chose to embrace the demons...
I let them flood into my life,
I say I know what i was doing,
but honestly i was confused,
consciously i let them enter my every groove,
too easily consumed...
I watch them dance around me soundlessly,
profound it seems,
as dark energies separate my being,
i stare at the sky and let out one last scream,
soul piercing agony,
but I want no pity,
please...
can you just forgive me?

The Man In Between
i don't know who i am any more,
i was unsure before i admit that,
but these last few weeks I've fallen off,
wandering, wondering if i want to be found,
like i am lost in the crowd
my thoughts are so fucking loud,
i feel so distant,
maybe it's just my environment,
pimped out cultures,
corporations circling like vultures,
telling me if i own all the shit i will be happy,
but these delusional fantasies can't handle me,
confused i use whatever is handed to me,
but i don't know what i want,
call me a dreamer,
materials lead me to...
