Find It Hard To Digest
Find It Hard To Digest"
Simple people with simple minds, can often lead simple lives/
Yet me I'm a little more complex, so it ain't all black & white
I seem to find it hard to digest, what they speak show & write/
So unless the truth it cannot nest, in an open mind like mine
I cannot rest or settle for less, if I close my eyes I'll go blind/
And if I sit even to sh*t, I know that I am wasting my time
As taking time is not something, I have enough time to partake/
When it's already taken fighting Satan, the late nights & heartache ...

THE ROAD WILL CHANGE
Through our experiences in our life we will go through something's, things that will have us questioning our thoughts that dances in the shadows at night. But yet the process of our mind is seeking to discover that what we seek. For its true nature and that we should seek the truth, but yet at what cost for it is said something's are best unknown unless we are are prepare to adjust to the change. For there will be moments when you see thyself trap, between a rock and a hard place with no way out yet it is necessary to dig your way out. For even then the LIGHT, at the end of the tunnel is...

Simplicity of Complexity
One day I say, I will brave the storm and find the right words.
One day, those words will brave intricacy and just be simple.
One day if I may, make an incision on swollen complexity and let it bleed out.
One day, I will let go and let my words flow like a river.
One day, those words will brave intricacy and just be simple.
One day if I may, make an incision on swollen complexity and let it bleed out.
One day, I will let go and let my words flow like a river.

Here's Your 'Uproar'
Chaos is a stunning
gunshot blast: bullet shells
shredding my consciousness.
You tested me—
I failed.
After cleaning the walls,
I come back:
quietly stretching my words
higher than your opinion.

Bars From Behind Bars
Bars From Behind Bars"
All I ever wanted was a Father, to love & hold me tight/
Now all I have is a cell, where it's so lonely & cold at night
Eyes holding back the tears, so my peers don't think that I'm weak/
So many years I've spent looking answers, so many questions to a past that runs so deep
Using poetry as my release, to escape my bleak surroundings/
From the abuse I received since a youth, to under the roof of the prison landings
Deeply regretting the texts I sent, cause sending 'em sent me 2 HMP/

Happy Home
Happy Home”
I was surrounded by people who didn't respect me, so I upped and I left/
And began to focus on self improvement, to try regain my self respect
I'd neglected what were my own needs, losing the essence of who I was/
I had become needy and self loathing, cause I was lonely and I was lost
I had to look past all the hate that I felt, & the hurt held in my heart/
For me to ever see a brighter day, I had to step away from the dark
And walk down a path I was unsure of, knowing I had to walk it alone/
Yet I'm so proud that I did, cause now...

Things
I was told i could write
About anyTHING
But noTHING came to mind
Although someTHING
About noTHING
Was really hard to find
I tried to think
Of an anagram
It took me all the NIGHT
But despite a bit of sleuTHING
I couldn't get it right
I couldn't think of anyTHING
Or think of THINGS related
My heads' run out of words to write
And ive ended up constipated
It's a sheep in wolves cloTHING THING
Baaaa!
