Life hurts
It's no use me saying " don't age " cos you do
and you'll never know how vast is this gap,
between me and well,' this me, who, once was you,
I'm sorry hon age is just a freaking trap!
Just ditch the fun cos there's no wisdom gained
it's just regrets piled on top of regrets,
how can I help you, when that me aimlessly aimed
us, ourselves, down life and just gained life's debts.
And now those debts, with interest, are due
and I'd be lying if I said, they don't hurt,
but it's a mental hurt so, nothing new, ...

Manhunt
Car seventy-four on the scene,
requesting backup at the ravine.
Gun drawn, investigations on,
searching the grounds, seeing what comes around.
A silent breeze in a shadowed forest,
intrigues my head to hidden noises.
My hand tightens and the barrel heightens,
under extreme pressure, the sweat is hard to weather.
I wipe my face and move at a slowed pace.
Crouching down and visioning around,
while the suspects on the prowl.
Moving along a river wall I came upon,
suspect is sprinting the rocks,
then into the woods...

Take A Stand!
If I took a survey today
Nobody would have anything to say
Increase the pressure and they sure will
People are complacent until it's time to kill
Everything is spoiled until it decays
Same for people, walking around in a daze
Stuff yourself with toxic sludge
Mental fog, who are you to judge
Can't create, there's nothing left inside
Technically alive, but emotionally y'all have died
Snap out of it, you have one life to live
Transform yourself to inspire those who are in a crib

You Know It's Time
Some of us
get stuck,
survival supersedes passion
and the life we build
can be a prison
The light grows dim
and you fear fading
into irrelevance
And that desperation for change
it hides, gnaws at you
and you hope
finally
it can spur you to action.

Black tears in rain
All that remains
The rubble and metaphorical blood stains
Silent screams echo down the halls
Suffering minds walls, visage cracked
Seven deuce dealt when the decks stacked
Hyper aware senses on edge awaiting the attack
floating through a super massive black hole
Just the thought has certain appeal
Giving a blind man a spoon to feel
Broken crippled bent
A little oblivion heaven sent
Who wants control when riding the wave?

When I'm crying alone
Stoic tears in an empty coffee mug
Means little to nothing
When she broke me, it sure as fuck
wasn't gently
She hooked me to the gills
Dangerous enchanting eyes
Quickly discarded
Tattered raggered play thing
Get high a little while, pick yourself up
when you hit the floor
Teaspoon cement
Harden the fuck up cunt
Kleenex for the soft cock
Nowhere to be seen
Means little to nothing
When she broke me, it sure as fuck
wasn't gently
She hooked me to the gills
Dangerous enchanting eyes
Quickly discarded
Tattered raggered play thing
Get high a little while, pick yourself up
when you hit the floor
Teaspoon cement
Harden the fuck up cunt
Kleenex for the soft cock
Nowhere to be seen

Revelations Wrapped in Anxiety
Sign the paper they said
6 months, so you wont be dead.
Why would I sign?
You took me and mom to sit.
You were full of shit.
You wanted to lay blame.
Talking. Talking
'Til the cop came.
"Come with me, son, it will be okay.
Act right, we won't need the restraint."
Cop took me away,
Everything okay.
Nothing to do, bounce off the walls.
My brain as scrambled as the halls.
Farther we drive
To destinies call.
Where even the cop left me to crawl.

Bustin Rhymes
Bustin rhymes aint no crime
layin them down time to time
Aint got no gangsta rap
wasnt raised like that
To me its a thrill just
to sometime chill
No need to grab a collar
stick up for a dollar
cause I work my day
to get my pay
Takin me another country drive
kickin it as I just drive
Slowin down on all these curves
like life you sometimes take
a swerve
but I am keeping things focused
without none of that hocus pocus
got my dream in sight
been on it day and night
All comin together now
been a...

the wrinkles of the wind
my babuska
used to talk to the wind
used words
strange and silent
she asked favors from the wind
she blew in the ears of the wind
things the wind should do
and the wind shook the curtains
threw everything on the floor
the wind was excited
to the sound of my babuska's voice

Reach for yourself
It's so good to hear you sounding so good and happy, man that's awesome!
It's good to hear about someone out there destroying it
It's so hard to do anything these days
Got that right
You gotta pass through so many nowhere's and plow through so many nobody's to get anywhere
All the miles each and every day you have to go through just to get to yourself
Stay strong
Stay focused

Stay strong
Stay focused

Desire
Ambiguity fills my mind with fear,
However aloofness appears,
Each day comes with a new task,
My perception distorts what I hear.
Rising and falling as with the sun,
Must I remain overwhelmed?
Losing battles before I’ve begun,
Scattered thoughts leave cognition overrun.
Failing to meet a mark,
My goals are fleeting,
Some days I lose my spark,
Immaturity portrays me as a lark.
Yet am I not human?
Flaws and quirks befall my character,
Seen as inferior because I’m a woman,
Mistakes lead to...
