Tyljones2025 - Hello Poetry

I don’t fit in this position Some kind of split indecision Hesitation is forbidden I’m learning how to listen Im blind baby ur such a vision That I forget my name Nothing is the same And its screaming at me from every way Simon says! Sit! Stay! dead play! Paid my way back in the hazy daze say im lazy i remain unfazed Truth taints, i mean tames, trains, track marks, tie me off when the tires start but shhhh tease em like a **** Pop top dark art God loves hacks hearts and umbrellas He be a fair fella Four Cinderellas But just one fine foot will be the tella Said i sell her Doctors, tellers Im just an old yeller Couldnt say better Bet big bounties on kind feathers Bleached ****** leather Linus in the trap look at that Now hes back Bottling his crap Whats he at? Stacks and stacks Conned the king pin G’s up to the ceiling Caught him up and then i filled him But my soft hands soft killed em Sinking sands Through my hands

Indecision Visions

I don’t fit in this position Some kind of split indecision Hesitation is forbidden I’m learning how to listen Im blind baby ur such a vision That I forget my name Nothing is the same And its screaming at me from every way Simon says! Sit! Stay! dead play! Paid my way back in the hazy daze say im lazy i remain unfazed Truth taints, i mean tames, trains, track marks, tie me off when the tires start but shhhh tease em like a **** Pop top dark art God loves hacks hearts and umbrellas He be a fair fella Four Cinderellas But just one fine foot will be the tella Said i sell her Doctors, tellers Im just an old yeller Couldnt say better Bet big bounties on kind feathers Bleached ****** leather Linus in the trap look at that Now hes back Bottling his crap Whats he at?

I don’t feel the heat Yeah I don’t feel the street I don’t feel the fire in your eyes I must be dividing up what once was mine and yours Serpents on the beach Estranged strangers that we meet How we’ve come so far from the shore and sinking in our feet I don’t feel divided like when I Left my lion on your shore before Must be residing On some foreign lore

It just takes one One sick ick icky slip n sin And some. thing. starts. too two to stick Blowin away with the dolls of voodoo (there’s just so much to do) and their thin pin limbs (You’re just tryyying to fittt innn) Deep in where your mind tick tick ticks Your crawlin Outta yer skins ta (Get your fix ***** Hit that vein and runaway with it Now all your dreams they start to drip Dowwwwn Here it comes now! You thought you’d get your crown Now your bending over and down Everytime that eye comes around Heads pressed again the wall You don’t give in you won’t give up You just stall (You know it all) Better cat cat catch your breath Before the the rest get get get you bled Before the best gets gets gets you dead And now you know too much in your head And your hands are are arrre all red! Ahhhh! So you tryyyy to hiiiide it all awayyyyy again You know you’re soooooo conser va tive You know you said You’d nevvver liiiiie to your closest friends But here you arrrrre aaaagin hiding in a box looking like a skeleton Diggin in a bag with your fingertips Ohhhh don’t get to close or it might stick! Sterilizing every thought that feels too thick Might be a drag After all You gotta lock to pick The cuffs on your back Tearing your wrists to shreds Can you stretch it long enough to make it last? You know you don’t have to win just have to make it past the last… Aren’t you exhausted? Always on your last gasp Isn’t this how you got here You blinked And it was past Oh now you miss your innocence? Haha

I was looking so reckless You were looking so wrecked We were on the edge of something Riding on the crest You were running from something I didn’t understand I was trying to find my footing, trying to be the man We were on the edge of everything Paradise was in our grasp Almost made it to the gate But wait, we blinked and then it crashed We were sinking our teeth into the space between our breaths Sinking in the sands Hacking the program until the program hacked back It hit me like a whip that cracked, whiplashed shivers through my spine Some kind of blinding light locked up my heart and poured out of my eyes I remember blinking as I tore apart Bells ringing in my head with dread as I was seeing stars

Seeing Stars

I was looking so reckless You were looking so wrecked We were on the edge of something Riding on the crest You were running from something I didn’t understand I was trying to find my footing, trying to be the man We were on the edge of everything Paradise was in our grasp Almost made it to the gate But wait, we blinked and then it crashed We were sinking our teeth into the space between our breaths Sinking in the sands Hacking the program until the program hacked back It hit me like a whip that cracked, whiplashed shivers through my spine Some kind of blinding light locked up my heart and poured out of my eyes I remember blinking as I tore apart Bells ringing in my head with dread as I was seeing stars

I made it up, made it Doubling down, double agent Mastering their game By the rules they gave us Ate up it all, they made us Everyday was the same Mumbling manners “Don’t play with your plate” Drinking kool aid Tongue paint and tooth aches Always late for an important date Paralyzed by the poisonous lies, we faked to delay it We tried to deny, we caved, we craved, we exhaled and sighed Grounded in Groundhog Day till the day we die Could never ask why Couldn’t bat an eye Couldn’t cry No matter how tired we were at the time Shiny disguises Blind the mind But sometimes wings we find coded inside Like butterflies We’re weaved like webs with the waves we ride Can never catch it, catch up, match it Though we all try Walking the wire Feeding the fire Purging out what we don’t need now Bridges breaking down Seems nothing is sacred now It’s all so strange and loud Moving, growing, out and about and all around Slowly then and suddenly now I hear sounds Ringing throughout my mind like a heavy crown that makes me bow Falling down Starting again from the ground What am I thinking? I should be proud Thinking I’ve really learned as I turn around Tongue tied and twisted around If we are what we eat then we’re the bait too now? We learned to interpret We learned about taste I learned about gardens I learned about Gates Peer pressure pushed us too much to measure So some gave up, had enough said “whatever” Confused abuse for Truth Twisted faces scurried away from escape gates Gasping as they gave up So we could get away And create a change that changes from which it’s made We’re webbed by the weaving of the waves we've braided I broke away sacred chains for a clean slates and traded a bad trade and upgraded Picked up the pace Learned love burns but it’s worth the hurt ’till the next turn, always Learned to let go and take turns, learned my place We never get anything we never earn so don’t look back to better days Get up and make a change Stare it in its face Read between the lines What am I not asking right? Am I petrified or disguised? Cages can be castles Homes protect and hassle Sometimes our ideals just aren’t practical So we learn to look away Thinking it keeps us sane, A place to hide and stay From bullies with due dates Say these are our last days To come out and play See them seething for sinners to chase? To shake for loose change? A master race to erase? Pushing pleasure and pain as doorways to escape, Marking main breaks in the chain makes them feel safe from what haunts their days They’ll keep waiting, running races for another’s payday Constant charity, no vacations from enslavement Returning to the pain that breaks them, To the ones that claim to save them, mark, milk and rearrange them In the name of Creation

I found a way playing secret agent Mastered their game Playing by the rules that they gave us Ate up all they made us Everyday was the same Mumbling manners “Don’t play with your plate” Drinking kool aid Tongue paint and tooth aches Always late for an important date Paralyzed by the poisonous lies we tried to deny We caved, we craved, we sighed Grounded in Groundhog Day We are what we eat, So we’re also the bait? We learned to interpret We learned about taste I learned about gardens I learned about Gates Peer pressure became too much to measure so some gave up, had had enough In the flood of info and blood Confused abuse for Truth Twisted up our faces “Theres always another way” As they scurried away from an escape gate Gasping as they gave up So we could get away And create a change that changes from which it’s made We’re webbed by the weaving of the waves weve made I broke away the sacred chains for a clean canvas slate Traded a bad trade and upgraded Picked up the pace Learned love burns but it’s worth the hurt ’till the next turn, always Learned to let go and take turns, I learned my place And learned we never get anything we never earn so don’t you try to look away Get up and stare it in it’s face Every hinge broken down Nothing is sacred now It’s strange and loud Moving, growing, out and about and all around Slowly then and suddenly now I hear sounds Ringing throughout my mind like a heavy crown that makes me bow Falling down Starting again from the ground What am I thinking? I should be proud Thinking I’ve really learned as I turn around Tongue tied and twisted around What can I read between the lines? What am I not asking right? Am I petrified or disguised? Cages can be castles Homes protect and hassle Sometimes our ideals just aren’t practical So we learned to look away and for a way to get sane, A place to hide and stay From busy body bullies craving chump change, Sinners to chase, To shake for loose change, A master race to erase, Pushing pleasure and pain as doorways to escape, Marking main links in the chain, masking , Making the safe stay plain so they’ll never know their place, They’ll keep waiting, Running races for another’s payday Constant charity, no vacations from enslavement Returning to the pain that breaks them, To the ones that claim to save them, mark, milk and rearrange them In the name of Creation

Every time I can’t shut my eyes I think I’m blind Elevator in my mind hits the sky And breaks through Beyond the blues Things are hectic, mass rejections You might think I’ve disconnected Too eccentric, they’re offended Overdependent and deflecting imperfections Suspended in my resurrection Interstellar interceptions Inception Can’t close my eyes at intersections Infected by my reflections I follow my shadows back to you Turning into the turning in you The yearning, the bright burning too Clouds bring doubt and drought Confusing abuse for truth But breaking through like rainbow hues I am renewed Letting go I move forward Baby steps but I’m no coward Eyes shut wide on the watchtower Walls burst forth with wallflowers And clowns fix crowns for zero hour Circles find themselves surrounded Blowing through spaces unfounded Following the sound and staying grounded Forget the fear, who’s laugh is loudest?

Lovers kiss and I avert my eyes Reading between the lines Why do we try to hide behind everything that we can find? We climb and climb Just to lose track of time Think of all the things we could do Instead of confusing abuse for truth Heartbeats Colors stream Light beams Crowded close Toe to toe Firework show Fear surrounding Chaos compounding So I let go Give in to the undertow Waves hush, rush and roll Young hearts Old souls Come together Becoming whole Mind control Cut throat Overdose Soul soap Soft boy Hard head Posing playing pretend Sunset Back bend Garden party The end

Sin and Sincerity The land and sea Were meant to be you and me Chaos and symmetry The land and sea We bend and bleed Feel it under the shade In the summer sun So I breathe in the wind Exhale like a gun Look any way and its the all the same We all need someone We all need something to stay x2 Am I coming down No not the only one We’re all part of the game So just have some fun Who are we oh what have we become? We all take up space Were pieces of the sun Look any way It’s all the same We all need a face to a name Something to frame We bend and bleed Unconsciously I feel ***** I must be coming down Stuck static searching Grit my teeth as I’m burning Up against the wall Looking for somewhere to fall It’s insane Out here where the waves break Im not gonna lie If there’s no reason why Why do we put up this charade Silly dancers, changing shapes Saved by the pain Gasping for grace Up against the wall Looking for somewhere to fall m not gonna lie If there’s no reason why Silly dancers, changing shapes Saved by the pain Gasping for grace

I turn in all the wrong directions Locomotion Tangled up in your ocean Poisons and potions Drowning deep in your bed head Embedded What was it that Marie Antoinette said? I’m open to knowing But what if it’s counterfeit? Seal it with a kiss Moving much further than I’d like to admit
