32/M/United States A 90's baby from St. Louis / that can typically be found / in his natural habitat on the porch. / An empathetic, manic/depressive, / socially awkward, overthinker / on a quest to overcome stage fright to bring insight to the people
your presence feels like a dream that I wake from whenever you leave but It's completely serene when you're here with me you brought back my sanity showed my soul serenity you're benevolent in dealing with humanity I'm heaven scent but hell bound it's quite a calamity how my thoughts can be so self damaging and it can get tough sometimes to keep on managing but when you're next to me it's easy battling and when I hear you sing the peace it brings is baffling like geez can this really be happening? so relieved to no longer have thoughts harassing me at last I'm free at least while you're here but best believe that just because the storm has cleared it doesn't mean another won't appear worse than you've seen so soak up all the cheer you possibly can and remember what it's like so you understand why it is you fight **** is it nice when you make me forget that I'm not alright the perfect vice escaping stress by distracting my mind to suffice and survive and live life you're my little piece of serenity giving me relief when in your vicinity whenever you're near I feel so content but just as I feared with you my smile went

Serene Dream
I know you been trippin isolation got you paranoid altering your vision got you p!ssed and now you're blind to joy hurt led to you sippin on the liquor tryna fill the void but didn't when you listen silence makes a noise audible breath I can't help but be annoyed the reason you can't see the point is due to lack of confidence all taken by your inner voice internal sound you can't avoid convincing you your only choice is talking 💩 to mirrors untill loathing for yourself deploys and any poise you built through the years is gone introducing clouds of doubt at will till all your fears are strong and escalate in magnitude which makes more hateful attitude missed connections leaving you confused and if the truth alludes blanks and unknown answers tend to get filled in with biased views messing up your mood with perception askew and you dont even have a clue what really is lost grip on reality your teeth grit and stressin starts to become a formality you start to forget about how it grows very rapidly weight increases and it almost feels as if the gravity just increased nearly ten fold seems you got your zen stole consumed by a black hole forming in your lost soul burning like some hot coal jolting like a pothole makes it tough to not go a little bit crazy can't give up I fought those demons thought I got close but it seems that shots dont hit with vision hazy but a shot in the dark can still create a spark for a moment which opens glimpses of where to start searching for your mark you gotta stay sharp like teeth of a shark so it's a walk in the park the journey is a part of this life you must love destination counts but the amount is not above lovin how you get there how you've grown and woven until threadbare sometimes it wont seem fair but when the good's deemed rare its held in higher standard than if everything pandered to every desire and if nothing was ever tampered with unless you've felt like 💩 you might not appreciate the way happiness hits unless you've truly felt at some point overwhelmed by the cards you been dealt prolly couldn't even tell how special it is when everything is goin well don't let greed ****** you and trap you under its spell detatch from expectations for less disappointment widen your horizon of appreciation and join them when things go right for others not just you don't compete or start pickin fights just simply go and do whatever makes you happy what truly makes you happy? you should do that that's nothing but facts just smile give em that and love where you are at life f**ks us all I've been taught though as well it's still possible to unfuck yourself it just takes time, patience, and sometimes help dont have to go through it all by yourself.... But I'm still all by myself Oh well... yeah yeah Oh well...

they love to lie to the people they keep em mentally feeble no one is safe from the evil no one is safe from the evil they brought back hate like a sequel gets under the skin like a needle shelter those lost with a steeple lost hope is a tough retrieval good luck don't get stuck just know they construct lots of traps they just laugh might not make it back I fell myself into quite a few trying to keep on pushing through sitting on the porch puffin on a cigarette smoked a lot of those **** Still not feelin better yet another nail in the coffin tried to quit but failed feel that need too often so I'm smokin on the greenery take a look around I'm just soakin up the scenery you'd think ya boy had leprosy the way nobodys feelin me whenever I get in my zone I might indulge and **** some beats might wake up a beast you probaby don't want around I'll use my alone time to explore some diffrent sounds turn the bass up super loud beat bumps vibrations spill out a small piece of bliss is found cause I cant those hear voices now they have gone away that's not how it stays my mind tends to stray can be a dark place just a little taste craving then takes place hunger turns to lust when it's not your plate redirecting energy give me all of your hate not like you're close anyway no friendship at steak let's see how much I can take let's see what happens whenever I finally break let's see the look on your face when it sinks in its too late evil cannot be escaped cynicism escalates hope grows thin of seeing change just end me im sick of this place once friendly got jaded and that went away real sick of pretending everything's ok you can run and hide but no one escapes from the evil cant escape evil but you can combat it to fight evil with evil would end tragic sadly looks like it's now habit it got real bad quick I've just about had it it's making me sick they love to lie to the people they keep em mentally feeble no one is safe from the evil no one is safe from the evil they brought back hate like a sequel gets under the skin like a needle shelter those lost with a steeple lost hope is a tough retrieval the good gotta fight back by showing the lost the right path no matter the cost and we might last I turn and I toss at night hoping for that hope this feeling will soon pass But know only action will pave paths

Time is not real it's a construct of man forget how you feel blindly follow their plan they came up with time to feel in control little did we know it'd swallow us whole the time is now we are all slaves as we all bow will we ever be saved? we follow all these time based routines as if we were sheep I think it's time for change but the clock says "it's time for sleep" is this really my fate? time is now creeping like a turtle these burdens have some weight struggling just to clear this hurdle too much on my plate it's like Geodude vs. a Squirtle frustration turns to hate my blood boils then it starts to curdle manic in a panic and my speech it starts to speed up I'll sink like the titanic wanna speak but keep my mouth shut they think I'm satanic? oh how sweet let's roll this uncut time is not organic take a seat you will be dumbstruck why does it seem like nobody really gives a f**k I just don't know I just don't know but it seems it's become the norm it seems time was meant to take the world by storm but why would we create something imaginary if it's finite? would someone please explain it to me I just do not get it forever is something that we can't comprehend especially when we don't have much time to spend but time isn't real but neither is money but it's funny cause these two things keep the world running does existence end? or just infinitely loop? keep climbing up these ladders but keep falling down these "shoot"s I need a friend when I feel like **** but it doesn't matter cause nobody has a clue so what the 🔥 am I supposed to do? cause I ain't got a thing to prove but let me prove that I'm not wasting your time but that's kinda tough with an ill mind I'm not Hopsin but still gonna get mine don't worry everything will be fine even though the quicksand I'm sinking in is up to my a** I realize now that I am trapped in an hourglass I'll sink a little deeper with every second that pass like truly how am I supposed to last? try to learn from it but don't get stuck in the past when comprehension exceeds dialect then what you mention cannot manifest the true value of the thought behind the words but I'm sure that when I speak this some will find bliss some will swerve like it's ubsurd I still get lost in the thought of words like how it works blissfully baffled so I just smirk the sound made from vibrations cleverly sequenced and understood by nations some used for love some used for hating thoughts racing just tryna find my proper placement studio down in my room of my parents basement from where I wanna be it feels like I'm adjacent and I don't know how much time I got left which one of these is gonna be my last breath? I don't know how much time I got left which one of these is gonna be my last breath

A happy mask often brandished by those most sad Attempting to prevent anyone else feeling as bad As they have And often try to help And make it better Their kind eyes and smile hides them feeling under the weather Just because it's worn well doesn't mean that it's not heavy most are scared to die they crave escape and have been ready to eject from their meat suit Been mistreated and misused, And would rather dangle from a noose than to bring the burden of conflict to you They know enough to know that within ignorance is bliss so most get kept in the dark and blind they've even been feeling like 💩 If those you care about are still alive Then you should tell them. Like that SkyZoo song says, "Give em their flowers while they can smell em"
