DL_Poet - Hello Poetry

It's been a while. Guess my inner child would smile- but he was here just a few years ago, breathing in a then new work's glow confident, never cocky competent or trying to be. Honestly, looking back on this boulevard of memory lane I glad I came, at the very least to set some sort of record straight.

Back Down Memory Lane (Meta Intro)

It's been a while. Guess my inner child would smile- but he was here just a few years ago, breathing in a then new work's glow confident, never cocky competent or trying to be. Honestly, looking back on this boulevard of memory lane I glad I came, at the very least to set some sort of record straight.

Looks like this cursed title falls to me I’m Gatsby At least, now I am Beer money inheritance Tighter than the rope round his neck It all falls to me, no glee Just a ****** musical rolling in my head I was a kid once Little more than a dunce Friends out of my league Hiding in leaves Beyond fields of bricks hidden by empty heads Falling asleep on desks It’s lazy education Low preparation The works of leaving kids stranded In a world they’ll never get Falling far of flat In terms of getting their hands on it Giving us all a pit Just weak little gnats Blood rain leaves us wet Once again, branded Who’d have guess high school never ends In this bad sandbox Sister never knew about him He was potential personified I always new, never said a word Terribly waiting for him to take the world Finish each loose end Understand depths beyond comprehension Could never really get how he worked Killed in the end, a waste more than gold Could have done so much Underestimated, self-made, the works Never really got how it worked Tell me now, how he died Never mind, I don't wanna know Throwing me inheritance Like the father figure I never had And certainly never deserved A few years older Always sticking out his neck Now a check? Miss me with that If I wasn't strapped It’d go to wreck Just like his house At the end of this mess Robbed beyond repair Silk robes in the furnace How did he earn this A man so earnest Now he’s in the sternest prison around In the grave, like a pound for a stray Waiting for the day One shot leads to release In such a permanent way This won’t lead into peace It will lead to more delete Lives hanging in the balance Bankrupt to the finest Capacity they could have imagined But now it’s all me Suits, colors, and all Just a puppet for the crew of the ****** Whispering to me through wrinkled polos Rolling through the power vacuum And I don’t know How quickly I’ll be booted Or how long I’ll hear his voice Bouncing around in the black water in the back of my mind

I’m gonna dream a while Before it’s time to go And I leave home Because all roads lead to rome And I intent to find her in a mile Wasting my time meandering in the snow Feeling like a dog trapped in a cone Stuck in this endless drone I’m as high as heaven Scrawling up memories in dreams She was there back then, in the time of street beats Just kids snacking on packaged meats Some time after eleven Wearing different shades of cream None of us could handle the heat So we ducked in trash can shades, at least to meet We all played drums With pots and lids Kool-aid and innocent imaginings as fuel Felt rooted in yule Every day, that’s where we’d come It’s all we cared for as kids With minimal labels as fools But we were far from piles of tools It was that way Until it rained And the alley tended to reek At least for a week One day It was over, we were all strained Bonds too weak Insight on what kept us close, bleak For us, it was all too much rain Now I’m older I’m prouder Smoke shrouds her Now it’s disappearing vistas behind my eyes, just pain I’m a lot colder And I can’t see past her powder Make up all pretty like, enchanting power This is my bane Here I am, a bit bolder Cheap confidence post shower I’ll cower in my mistakes later I can’t find the cause Of this feeling I think this world is killing me What’s glee? In all these moments of need, no pause Just the bad choices I’m dealing On my knees Hoping this flip flop back is my key But I’m feeling a little hollow tonight I can’t hit the sack These eyes don’t close All I can do is pose This plastic is strangling my prose But then again, failure is my knack For now and forever, I’ve lost my light To nothing but my nature, forever blight

**** you, Nicole I’m tired of getting high Off of your breath of nicotine Or the way you lie Convincing me this cycle is good You would just as soon leave me in the hood Stranded with a golden watch Waiting for a good mugging, but here’s the catch I always find a way to dine Or some fine way back home You’ve tested this You’ll never best this Go ahead and leave me for Michael Maybe he’ll give a **** The next time you hit Or spit in his face Go crazy, so far off base In clothes too lacy Whip in one hand, cattle **** in the other It’s not odd with your status Just check the bio for the list Leave me ****** The me that cared We were never a good pair You grow old and cold I don’t want your hand to hold I’m tired of your **** Nicole Hovering over my conscious Blowing up my phone Here I am nauseous Prone to giving into it all You’re human mold In a pile of nicotine Waiting to consume me Let’s shorten you to your soul Close enough to whole Nico, for the rest of your life Ain’t set to be a trophy wife But you ain’t either Fed up doesn't even begin To cover how it’s been How long ago was it Since we began This ******** ready to blow houses down So long ago, I was just a clown Without the floppy shoes or the makeup I was trapped Under wraps Choking the daylights out of me By street light of dull night All blight Nico giving me black lung While Nico’s sick She’s like Bruce Lee Kung Foo I’m licked to the ground She’s off to pound Another honey saving money with the bouncer He’s gonna pounce soon Announce swoon Wallet on the table That’s been her favorite vice But why am I tiptoeing around whom I'm talking to? Click, clack, and you’re back Telling me how he decided to treat you poor Little more than a ***** Jumping from bed to bed Back and forth from my head And that’s coming from me Who’s only form of glee Is chasing skirts It still hurts With a lack of inhibition smashing my liver But then again I love you anyways Like a farmer needs his hens For the rest of these days Because that’s how it was meant to be It’s all me Going crazy in my own head I’ll be better off dead And blaming it on the world Waiting to curl As I hurl in the ceramic bowl Waiting for my bullet in the pool Because I’m the fool Wearing yellow In a town like this Where nobody is mellow And blood cost as much as jello

I am god G O D No, Crazy I am not I’m Divine I’m Endless I’m Omnipresent I’m Omniscient Third eye No, fourth Look into my eyes Die, mortal G-O-D ***** get on your knees Blow me away G-O-D Dear fledgling creation Just like that No, like that It’s not my caveman grunts That give away How much that felt Like a slice of heaven I wish you could know How this steady narcissism boils in my blood It leaves me ready to take each moment As the new center of the universe It’s liberating, and you’ll never quite get How I got here But in the end, it's all about these moments Where the flesh brings me to the present As the back of my head spirals with the stars But I’m deep below my conscious Ready to mutter meaning into this meaningless space Between cells and fragments of unpleasant thought If only you could understand But I’m more than flesh G-O-D Strike me down Thou shalt obey Just a bit deeper, babe That’s all I ask Shh…. It only hurts for a moment Or so the TV models say But you, You’re made of heartier steel Just like that No, that I can’t get enough G-O-D Not ego Don’t talk back In the master’s home It’s not enough To satiate me Just like that A little deeper I can’t get enough G-O-D Blow me away I’m chasing pleasure in gaslight Shining on me through the window and thin curtains The moon watches while the core shivers I’m eyeballs deep in this drifting set of thoughts As I force myself to move Chasing something so momentary before I collapse Lack of sleep is one hell of a drug So is caffeine And the memories of toxicity that ring in my head She built me up And tossed me aside I deserved it, but now I’m back To being the hot-blooded sun Waiting to ignite the world I can’t get enough When intoxication Leads to indoctrination Killing inhibition G-O-D Shut up, priest Go **** an altar boy You sick creep I won’t open the door to you But babe, keep going Don’t leave the sheets G-O-D Don’t leave me Please I need it Just like that Just like that It’s more than love It’s lust Babe, let’s start over Before hangover I’m god So try not to disappoint Keep going Just like that Yeah babe, just like that I can’t stop wearing this facade Not when it’s all just began This is a time for rain The type that lets my rot and grime flourish At least for a time But now, its sleep Washing over me and a perfect stranger Waiting for her to forget me in the next week Just the way I like it It’s no fun when everyone knows That you’ve been the core this entire time And you want nothing more Than distance from what makes you, you

So long Let’s call it a good night I’m gonna miss you, babe And I know That after all this time The faint memories from wine You are divine And it’s all you’ll ever be Or so the fragments that make me speak I need you Even if it kills me Maybe I’m drunk Or I’m here going crazy It’s all about you It’s all about me I need you in my lungs Even if it kills me I’ll die young If it means A life at your side I don’t wanna lie I’m blind, you’re divine I see your face in the wine I’m wasting your time Trying to get to the bottom of the glass Call it crass, or a little bit brash It’s all for restoring that picture of you Standing by me Sitting atop the shelf or tv I can’t get you out of my mind No matter how much I know All this is just a bind And I’ll never leave Even when you abandon me Nights on the town Just a little too loud While I wait for you Dead on my knees To open the door And set me free Falling back in the groove It was all never smooth Just bickering between bouts of “love” Or whatever you put Between your hand and the glove I’ll wait here Through the rivers of ***** Waiting for you Is all I can do What’s there to lose With another chance Another dance like this To keep it this way Stay with me Hear this plea Because it’s all I can give you any more
