BRICKS

Damn...

this brick wall... is tall
Bricks stacked so high...
No body can see the real me
at all

Got these...damn Bricks stacked
like a balancing act
on my back


Got these...damn Bricks packed
got me strapped
till my soul is bent
Bound AND cracked

Bricks.. stacked so high
Past my eyes so I'm blocked
with Bricks stacked to the sky

I'm  in shock over the way
these damn bricks stacked up
As I struggle with no help
and no damn back up

Soul... surrounded
No more tea just
Brick Dust in my cup

Weighed down
by Other peoples
Proper Nouns

Always the cool one
saying " I got this"
Handlin stress
like a proper Miss

Yet I now realize
My Name is not Atlas
If I have to carry the world
I shoulda invested
in better brackets

In fact... Fuck This
To hell with other people
and all there silly shit

Me Myself...
I'm sick of these Damn Bricks!

Sick of baring it all
Taking other peoples licks
When I can get
a helluva whoopin
on my own

I'm about to tear down these
Bricks.. and build my soul
a new home

Kick these Bricks
Tearing them down
Time for me to stop
Carrying Bricks..
and start carrying
My Crown

Sick of these Bricks
and every thing they stood for
I'm kickin these Bricks
Like sticks till they crumble
and hit the floor

Bruised from all that
involuntary weight
It's time for me
to "pack light"

Let my soul...elevate
Let my life lessons resonate
Let this salve on my spirit marinate

Tired of letting life
stack up against me quick
No More Stacking internal shit

Fuck... These Bricks!
