time is perspective
Going through years of tangible memories
I realize I took for granted how creative my younger mind was
before the world had made any impact on my spirit
and I rested in an untouched place
a sanctuary of ideas that could easily manifest themselves into reality because anything was possible
a rich land of colors and frequencies I can no longer see or hear
time has enabled me to see just how bursting my mind was
and just how boxed it is now
I thought then as I do now
that my capabilities of creating are limited by the invisible boundaries I have yet to learn how to break
the only difference is, my creations I see from the past are crazy
my mind has traversed and ventured through many different landscapes since then
but all of our landscapes are recorded
I can still find that sanctuary from years ago
where the river of colors flows
I can't completely journey back to the land itself
but I can remember it and find a space for a river here
a river is never consistent nor steady throughout
creativity comes and goes whether it be days or years
but once it is in you it never leaves
the colors stay stained in your skin
no matter how many downpours wash you bare
or how many droughts scorch your skin dry
while cleaning out my room

Life is a paradox
So am I
If you choose your reality
then what is a lie

I walk through the desert
but its feels like rain
constantly changing  
nothing was the same
wait.
didn't mean to quote Drake
but when music been around this long
everybody sounds the same
everybody's right
nobody's wrong
music saves the soul
but so does God
how come a believer
can preach
but can't sing along
its like knowledge makes me smarter
yet erases where I'm from.
this world is crazy
you could be gone
in just a blink
think
don't think
think
in the scheme of things
do i really know anything?
originally song lyrics or something. Idk
