I hit my head upon the keyboard
And leak my marbles on the page
Staring far out into space
While the stars warbled away
Now should I choose to follow
What I forced upon my gaze
Surely it would lunge me
To where my lungs would be betrayed
I take a breath of time and hold it
Indigenous to the moment
I figured out what alone meant
And begged my loneliness for annulment
Breathed out into the bottle
All emotion hard to swallow
Reversed the vacuum full throttle
And found my starship was just a model
While the empty space consumed me
Leaving the rooms all hanging loosely
I was moving about as slow as the cold was absolutely
But little did I know that this would only just unglue me
And reconstitute a truth that stated I had never knew me
And leak my marbles on the page
Staring far out into space
While the stars warbled away
Now should I choose to follow
What I forced upon my gaze
Surely it would lunge me
To where my lungs would be betrayed
I take a breath of time and hold it
Indigenous to the moment
I figured out what alone meant
And begged my loneliness for annulment
Breathed out into the bottle
All emotion hard to swallow
Reversed the vacuum full throttle
And found my starship was just a model
While the empty space consumed me
Leaving the rooms all hanging loosely
I was moving about as slow as the cold was absolutely
But little did I know that this would only just unglue me
And reconstitute a truth that stated I had never knew me

That's one of the most beautiful things anyone has ever said to me! Thank you dearly. I used to post on Facebook all the time, but it seems like not a lot of people like to read on there, or that i have a smallish circle. I feel welcomed here, and there are so many beautiful voices. I feel minimal, but at home here. Love peace n chicken grease!

That was an emotionally taunt piece, like becoming aware of ones self and actions for the first time. That may sound easy, but to truly understand oneself takes a lot of false starts and crappy (not to mention embarrassing) endings. Which is okay, because, ironically, without those experiences we would never learn or grow. I've really fallen in love with this piece (just look at me gush, lol!)

Thank you, This one is important to me because I started trying to find my true voice, not just the one that I hear while I read the word soup and write, but my actual voice. The performance is shaky as hell, I remember being so nervous to be recorded. I still haven't become comfortable speaking these, but I have began the practice of spitting my venom :)
love and peace and may your awareness increase.

Thank you! I actually had posted this on Facebook before. And got absolutely no response from anyone. Which sucked because I was so proud of it! I honestly dont feel my words have a completeness to them, but what is complete? Love and peace!

I loved this. It spoke to me in layers and depths. I will say, I had to close my eyes and listen because your camera man gave me motion sickness 😂. But none the less, it's was art!

Brother, I am lost for words. The poem, delivery, and vibe was truly masterful in self-discovery. #Bars
