Rhyme without reason
Fumbling along one day at time
Without rhyme or reason I continue to keep breathing
Pushing past through the shades of blue
The days when I feel like I’ve been put to the test showed up to get swallowed, crushed up and regurgitated maybe I am depressed
There’s been days when the sarcasm hasn’t been enough to water down the stress
I’ve been intertwined to this emptiness from the moment I took my first breath
As the moments continue to pass me by I just exhale and find solace in the confines of my mind
Just a brief moment in time a lapse in reason when...

1993
Blessed with my first breath back in 93’
An offspring of the 90’s
I was raised by tv, so I’m filled to the brim with useless knowledge that no one’s interested in
I rarely tend to speak, On top of that my insecurities keep me in check week after week
Just a brief moment in time where I try to dissect the thoughts that roam through my mind
On average days I carry a blank face and mischievous ways spewing out crafty rhetoric leaving everyone I come across a bad taste
Calm and collected is what’s usually presented
The daily special served with the...

Monday blues
My names is one of many yet I’m unlike any other
I’m the physical embodiment of sarcasm all the way down to the loneliest of atoms
My composition is far from basic not many can fathom
Nor relate, I portray an asshole to any who mistakenly take the bait
I’m not much for conversations simply because I don’t have much to say
Most of my thoughts are bound to the page
I’m a walking contradiction shallow, but yet profound
I crave love but don’t know how to give it back out
They say the apple doesn’t fall from the tree but I find it hard to believe ...

Reminiscing
These songs are taking me back, way back when I had more than just a handful of friends
Way back when I was filled with a little less sense, back when my defenses where nothing more than a simple picket fence As the years progressed I've continued to pull through this mess called life continually stumbling over my pride
As I write this and reminisce I can't help but feel the absence of bliss one of the few things I will consciously admit
I feel more than unfit barely keeping my grip this is nothing more than another stitch holding it all together
My composure has grown to...

Just killing time
I lack a sense of direction so I tend go where the mighty wind blows, not much in my pockets but doubt and empty promises swirled with woes from long ago,
Just one of those days when I'm off in a funk caused by to many roaming thoughts that I have yet to debunk, I hate being still, sitting and waiting for some meaningless task to crush my endless debating, yet that's the current situation I find myself entertaining it's a never ending game of what ifs, I should place more confidence in the steps I take, but I lack the conviction
I tend to think the other side is always greener I've...

Thoughts after a breakdown
I'm not perfect far from it
A walking contradiction I have yet learned to love it
Reckless and insecure at times, barely holding my composure
Destined from birth to be a leaking faucet of rhymes
Lost and confused constantly breathing the blues dysfunctional at best
But you probably couldn't tell
I've learned to hide my wounds quite well saying just enough to throw you off the trail
I tend to beat around the bush more often than not misdirection flows out naturally without much of a second thought
Over the years I've found myself continually being caught...

Once more....
Never been much of a believer a hopeless romantic until our paths crossed and I finally seen her
And when we first met who would have known the feelings i had were to grow to an unmatched extent nothing short of heaven sent
Its only been about a week and I'm already missing that unforgettable scent plenty have came and went but this is far more than just a casual encounter with an intent to pillage and plunder the goods to leave you without any means of attack on your back don't get this misunderstood I ramble on like its gonna do me some good probably why love continually cages me...

Stressing
One of the lucky ones I suppose
A hopeless romantic in constant contact with loves crushing blows
As far as the story goes the scenarios have been the same as feelings begin to develop the once harmless flower sprouts thorns and inflicts nothing, but pain
The memories may one day fade but the feeling associated will forever remain just passed along to a different name like the common cold this game has grown quite old as have I
In the pursuit of fulfillment till the wonderful day I can call it quits and die
I can admit it I'm not perfect but unlike the most I try an...

Dear Vida
As the days progress I constantly find myself on the opposite side of the spectrum from the rest an irrelevant dysfunction continually searching for a balance through the stress matters of the heart I must admit is the only cause of interest I truly posses a walking contradiction in the pursuit of happiness and nothing less I live with the best of intentions yet a purpose is something that I haven't been able to address misguided at times like any other yet I won't point fingers I'm unlike the next an abstract individual from the day I began this long and winding quest born under the aquarius...

something....
The truth is you had me way before the first kiss from our first encounter I realized cupid's arrows had not missed
Pierced straight through past irrelevancies once again I outgrew
The words are seemingly hard to find when I'm confronted with the task to define you
Twenty six letters simply won't suffice to depict the feeling I get when I gaze into your eyes
There's more to us than a physical attraction in disguise although the human services agency will forever be imprinted as the day I realized what you truly meant a beautiful girl that can make me weak in the knees with...

Rolling Stone
I dedicate this to you abstract by definition entangled in the feelings that arent perceived by the heart to be true
I constantly question the day I thought I truly knew the reasons to pursue
A misunderstanding at best it seems the interest has diminished without intentions of further progression to be seen
In opposite directions our heart's seem to rest a rolling stone forever tumbling through the stress
Time isn't stationary so it goes without question I must continue to adress lifes lost causes till I'm put to rest
An abstract individual from birth synchronization...

Lately
Lately my steps have been precisely planned in the pursuit of progression yet most can't seem to understand
Well I continue to keep a distance between me and lifes worthless demands
As the days continue to progress a lasting connection is the only relevant cause of interest I posses misguided searches throughout the years have turned love into an irrelevant figment that I haven't been able to truly adress
Labeled as a worthless cause riddled with nothing but inconvenient stress I constantly wonder if the situation will turn out for the best
The truth is at times the...
