I’m a thousand miles up
Silk robe
Polo boxers
I think I might jump
I know I can fly
I know I can fall
I feel incredible
I feel like Basquiat before rehab
I feel like VanGoh in love
For once I’m sober
in this moment of clarity I can see the sky as well as the concrete
Equal distances apart
Either one attainable
Both so tempting
Flying or falling
Soaring or stalling
GRAVITY’S A MYTH PERPETUATED
BY THOSE THAT FEAR THE INCREDIBLE
The girl in the bed is screaming
My cellphone is ringing
Hotel staff is banging on my room door
I fill my lungs with the fresh air
And feel the breeze
I don’t step off the ledge
I jump with all my might
In that moment, suspended in the air
I can feel Gods hands wrapped around me

You looking at me
I’m looking through you
You want nothing more than to fix me
All I can think to do is touch you
Maybe we can compromise?
Because I can make you feel special when I talk you out that dress
Don’t be so pressed for these complications and relationships
Good girl like you?
You just weren’t made for this
You don’t know I’m half way out my mind half the time and I won’t budge a quarter
And these days I’m everything I claim to hate
You look me dead in my eyes and all I see is silhouette of your face
And you know **** well you should hate me
But you’re steady searching for the better side of somebody that ain’t me
Now which one of us is really crazy?
Because I’m a **** poor example of a white knight, right?
Never fall for someone who writes
They’re either melodramatic or monochromatic
And I never did do well with moderation.

(Her to him 10pm)
I love you
I loved you like I said I would
I loved you just the best I could
I love you like you made me
I’ll love you even if you hate me
Even when you love someone else to negate me
Delete every text, picture, and post to erase me
I understand My mistakes and missteps
I do
So even if you never say it back again
I’ll say it one last time
I love you
(Her to him 1 am)
I hate you
I hate you
I HATE you
I HATE YOUU
I HATE YOUUU
I HOPE IT WEIGHS YOU DOWN AND IT BREAKS YOU
I HOPE YOU CRY LIKE I CRY
AND THE NEXT TIME YOU TRY TO LOVE
I HOPE IT BREAKS YOUR HOLLOW
HEART
I HOPE YOU RUINED THIS FOR A REASON
I hope it was worth it
I HOPE YOU SEARCH THE REST OF YOUR LIFE
AND EVENTUALLY FIND SOME BODY PERFECT
BUILD A LIFE WITH HER
AND LAY IN BED NESTLED BETWEEN THE KIDS
AND REALIZE YOU DON’T DESERVE IT
I know one day you’ll replace me and
I just pray to GOD that she’s perfect!
(Her to him 6 am)
I’m over this.
Do what you want
(Him to her 10am)
I’m sorry

I’m awoken by the sound of the alarm
My throats dry
My lips are cracked
My temples are throbbing
The rooms dark
As I open my eyes
I hear soft breathing next to me in bed
I check my phone
One call missed
three messages unread
The call from my father
The messages from her
Last nights a blur
The empty bottles around the room explain the fuzz
Truth be told I’ve still got a buzz
Truer truth be told as I take a swig from the half empty bottle I’m still drunk
My concept of self is shaky
What city is this?
Is it Cullowhee or Compton
South beach or Charlotte?
Or some where I’ve never been
Whoever’s in the bed shifts as I stumble out of it
I can’t tell if it’s the lack of light or the liquor
but I can’t describe her features
Maybe it’s neither
Maybe I just don’t care
Either way I open the curtains and flood the room with light
I know the city and her as much as I know myself
The only thing I’m sure of is that I’m on the top floor and still alive

I felt her like a vice grip around me
I felt her pull me deeper than I ever reached
Further than anyone had ever gone I was a pioneer in this territory
I claimed her as my own
She welcomed me into her virtue
Sacrificed herself to me
I reciprocated
I gave everything I had to give pushed beyond my limits
Allowed myself to become ingrained in her till we melded into a being of ecstasy
Bliss
Euphoria
Passion and subtle pain as she raked her finger nails across my scalp
I gripped her tighter than I ever had
Terrified to lose this sensation
Feeling myself become addicted
To the way she whispered into my ear
Her voice was urgent
Longing
Primal
And pure
She took my breath my away
I found myself gasping for air
Not from my exertion
But from the sight of the goddess atop me
for she had transcended her mortal Frame
The way the light reflected and magnified off of her sweat soaked skin she was pure light
Pure

She had skin like sand on the beach
Warmed and tanned by the kiss of the sun
At the nape of her neck like the shoreline
The sea met the sand
Her hair cascaded like like a tsunami down her back
It was fierce and natural
So Pure in its freedom
Her honey colored eyes shine like the the sun on a spring afternoon
Warm and inviting
She was a beach

My love
I'm self-destructing
I'm dying
I'm killing
By my own hands the life in this vessel is slipping away
Every night I struggle to remember why my creator chose to prolong my existence
Yet every night the list of reasons gets shorter, and shorter still
I'm finally down to one
You.

I been bumpin frank Sinatra
I been chillin with these mobsters
Perfect Italian girl put the parmesan upon the pasta
We had white sauce on the angel hair
We were sipping on the pinot
Her hair was black as mine,
but her skin look like a kilo
Thighs look like a hundred grand
Eyes green like a c- note
Liquid nitrogen in her veins
The tongue game ****** she wrote
She whispers fortunes in my ear
While tracing plans upon my skin
Lead me to a life of sin
Then gave the roulette a gentle spin.
I never gave her a wedding ring
I proposed to her with the shell
wedding dress was made by Prada
The coloration red as hell
Showin fangs in a crooked smile that she hid behind her veil
Death upon her breath, it turned the atmosphere stale
Unholy matrimony pastor trying to hide his thorns
Ring bearer bared his fangs
flower girl throwing thorns
Bridemaids holding bouquets made of wilted lillies
She drove a knife through my heart and said
“ baby do you feel me?”

darkness consumes all
the black night swallows our thoughts
Vomits back our fears
Shadows pollute minds
Specters of the past revive
They taunt tease and laugh
We give in so quick
Victims to our own morals
destroyed by self doubt
Quick to love others
so fast to hate ones own self
So slow to forgive
The mirror whispers
The wind curses so sweetly
The blade kisses you
It tenderly glides
Slides against ebony skin
Gaping rift remains
Scarlet life erupts
History of an empire
Contained in those veins
Osiris Horus
Pharaohs Gods ,and rulers.Kings
Contained in those veins
Isis Hathor Bast
Greats queens, protectors, healers
Contained in those veins
Garden of Eden
Cradle of our mother Earth
Contained in those veins
Newton,King,X,Parks
Men and women with Brave Hearts
Contained in those veins
Swift minds,Diamond tongues
hip-hop jazz blues rock, our sound
Contained in those veins
Firm hands,and strong arms
The power to hold the world
Contained in those veins
A deep rich opus
there is his story and hers
Contained in those veins
Our blood stains the soil
Why destroy the tapestry
Contained in those veins

Ninth grade, thirteen, I ride my bicycle to school
Headphones ******* up my hearing. Mr. Fiasco's The Cool
Irony I couldn't kick push, because I'd probably fall
And if I crack my head open i'd have no one to call
My mama works two jobs, pops works out of state
Band practice after school, my house'll be empty till late
So my backpack packed with textbooks, a gameboy, and some sheet music
Three broken pencils, it's heavy i'm used to it
I wasn't **** back then
truly not much has changed
I went to Samuel from sam
acceptance of myself in my name
Acceptance of my mistakes, and the release of the shame
And realized when you a genius they label you lame
