Twistit N Fixit { A Poetikmind And Naajir Collab }
Crowded...
is this mind of mine,
chokin' on the vine of dark thoughts...
see it keeps keepin' me so Twistit
so I invest in this depth as I attest to hopin' I'll get this
n' yet, I rest... arrested with pause
because I'm needin' your wisdom too
tell me brotha man,
will you help me Fixit...?
****
I Fixit
will do all I can to help to you my twin Twistit
resolve to evolve past the shrouded mist
that twist and turns your nocturnal misgivings
living at the precipice of anarchy
anchored to an overcrowded mind
cluttered with disorganized files
while unseemly demons defile your morale,
my brother Twistit you must uproot your thoughts
from this toxic soil our ancestors toiled
break new ground founded in a steady peace
to keep your soul firmly planted in place
and replace those sporadic moments of fleeting happiness
that changes with the fickle weather's forecast,
remember you were born as I the outcast
and its your inherit duty to outlast the darkness of a sordid past
spreading your inner light like a monarch
shedding your cocoon and loom your butterfly effect
over all within your radiant radius
Twistit are you vibin with this?
****
Yes, yes my finely focused friend,
you got your otha brotha from anotha motha vibin' again
but still on the real here's the deal...
as I sit here alone n' with you my bro, my friend,
wonderin' how this state of sad affairs will ever end
then I get these visions of a past...
hauntin' my mind n' I'm twist'd on anotha bend as...
voices, spill stilled silently
it's gulag from the grave a slave speaks sporadically...
"I gave all that I gave now it's time to rise up,
grow, prosper like a tree
smile brightly, my brethren for now you are free"
but alas It's a fool's ideal, standing up mine eyes reel
because I feel those chains still like steel,
it mentally binds me
****
emancipated yet still emasculated in the mind
we carry the trauma of the forsaken souls encapsulated in our DNA...
Do Not Acquiesce to their eternal despair
and declare yourself sovereign unto you my brother,
and overstand the cackling of their voices bear no influence
on the making of your choices
their stories only to be remembered never relived,
so be relieved of the fact those broken tracks are not yours to tread
for they can suspend you in a state of perpetual dread
only to be re-animated as the walking dead,
know my Twistit brother
you must be steadfast and lay claim to you own future
be bold when you thrust your will out into
the nurturing bosom of the UNI verse
for the act in of itself will severe the chains of an unspoken curse..
leaving your soul no longer twisting in uncertain winds
****
Graciously givin' thanks
it appears you fix'd thee as I'm returnin' to self once again,
breezin' thru thy brisk winds now certain,
I resolve to pen to you my friend n' to tell those in the wake of my call
board up their homes to lessen the fall
n' posse up whomever they can...
becuz you never know how bad It can be with no hope
in the end to try n' defend when my twist'd mind ascends,
n' then I laugh out loud profusely you can't SEE ME on my vile skid,
kid this is the beginnin' of the end...
livin' within this Twist'd mind, you came to fix it with your Light,
though I retain your light- shine I wallow In the darkness,
cloaked like I'm blind yet It's really what we need in mankind
see it's all about balance,you sparkle light a star I fiddle
In the middle leanin' towards shadow's near n' far,
incessantly it's in me to be in between
Residin' in these charred schemes
I'll darken their life's dreams as they squat in fear,
Watchin' fallin' apart at the seams thinkin' regrettably,
" what the hell was wrong with my 'eye's beam'?"
Realizin' with grim despise what they see in my eyes,
Thoughts that cry out, "I can't face up to a challenge this great"
see the 'afterthought's so hot,
They see steam, now in full embrace of reality
Findin' one's self callin' the verb 'genies'
Constantly "cryin' HELP! I'm afraid to sleep
Becuz there's never seems to be enough hope in thy dreams...
echoes consistently scream,
THIS TWISTED MIND'S THE HOTTEST I'VE EVER SEEN..!!"

The two of you are individually practically lethal with your skill at wordsmithing...together you're like lightning in a bottle! Stand back and hope it doesn't strike you down when you pop the cork! Great collaboration to both of you! :)
