inside me
Travel to the paths inside me,
chained in the tangle of my acts,my decisions,
my dreams,and my frustracions about the bad or the good things
of my existence.
I'll be back in time,to the hidden memory,
walking on the hard rocky roads,that my wild side lived,
in ephemeral happiness,who presented me with unhappiness.
I am mentally in the gutter of my existence,
stripped of any dream or will,and run away to...

Invisible
The truth is out there to discover
The lies you can uncover
The thoughts you can share each other
The evil you can smother
I'm not trying to create music just art
You might not think this at the start
I speak from my heart
My emotions they don't depart
I'm not rhyming because I want to rap
It's a way I can read the map
I look at my fingers and snap
Finally I can nap
Poems are thoughts you can't seem to lose
It's why you write, it's your muse
Without writing, your heart has a bruise
No chance to...

Profound Moment
Time weaves in and out,
Time has no constraints,
Sometimes it takes longer than others to figure things out,
My feelings were not feints,
Real as the day and night cycle,
Clear as the nose on my face.
Around, and around in my head, they did whorl,
But even though the emotions were in front of my face,
What to call them, eluded me,
I cut and pasted all these labels at a rapid fire pace,
But the glue always seemed to fail me,
Not quite in place,
It was just, not quite strong enough,
They never quite seemed to fit, ...

Being an empath
I think about more than just me
I don't ever really sleep
I keep thinking about everyone's pain
That hits me pretty deep
I think of all the hate
I think of what I could do
But I can't think of anything
I don't have any clue
I know others better than I know myself
I don't know how to feel
I don't have any thing to say
I don't know how to heal
I'm not one who cares about what I need
I might be talkative but I'm not really speaking
I might seem ok but I am not
The truth is all I keep seeking
...

It wasn't me
Floyd Martin
IT WASN'T ME
He wasn't it it wasn't me it wasn't who I was supposed to be... So stop trying to tell me that destruction is my destiny because the circumstances in my life wasn't always the results of me... That's not a rejection of responsibility... understand that I take full responsibility for my actions But realize that my actions were the consequences of adaptation... Adaptive Behavior adapted to makile it in a Society rife with oppression and my skin complexion may it no better... My Skin complexion ment a fight...had to fight twice as hard because I was...

No Set Path
Why can't I forget my pain?
Why is it driving me insane?
Why can't I find my way?
Why is it the same every day?
I'm all alone with nobody by my side
I'm right there no where to hide
My whole mind continues to divide
My hope seemed to fail to provide
I'm opening an unmarked door
I'm learning what my life is for
I'm writing my own internal lore
I'm questioning if there could be more
I'm a light in the endless night
I have eyes but I have no sight
I'm the flame that can't seem to ignite ...

Situational Depression (So Many Things Going on Right Now)
Deep is the mind,
Like the ocean you'll find,
But sometimes it's deeper than one thought,
Deep, dark, and cold, and fear fraught,
And what we access on a daily basis,
Is only the surface, we access.
We are like icebergs, floating on the surface of the Arctic Ocean,
We can only see the top layer of the psyche, just a fraction,
With the layers underneath, hidden, afraid to reach them,
Until finally confronted with them,
And not sure how to handle them.
Deep within the soul, lies a warrior,
Awaiting battle, hidden behind the...

Remix to drake's song " make me proud "
Yo… I never been the one to blame anybody for the pain that ive caused
Always letting peoples thoughts get the best of me shit i guess I felt lost
Even though the sun don’t shine these days I still burn brighter than a flame
So keep talking shit as I move forward you can call this shit the thomas train
I survive like its 1967 with the chaos on my mind and I feel the pain of my city
I hear em yell blind pig blind pig 456 years later im fightin for peace in reality
Quit bringing up my past yea we all got a story and everybody ain't perfect
Never once felt like...

Forgotten shadow
I want to become a superhero
I want to become something that matters
I want to have hope and fulfill my dreams
I don't want my life to be a broken plate that shatters
The world is fighting for the truth
Time changes but things will stay the same
People will follow the elected leader
We will discover the fire but have no way to control the flame
I am trying to write my story
I am looking to make my life mine
I'm breaking down the wall they built
And making up my own design
I'm a forgotten figure
I'm...

Bi-Polar - Through the eyes of a complex Mind
Your a living performance trying out for a part, while inside you’re broken and falling apart. Mind is clouded with judgement...reality strikes. Lifes an emotional rollercoaster ride, your views are turning into shades of black and white.”
Daily struggles of pain, weakness a curse.
This is me, myself, and I.
Scars of pain, torture,...
