I am trapped between the metal walls in my head
I am fettered to the mattress on my rickety bed
I am stuck between the want to fall behind or get ahead
I am the skin I hate, the skin I love -
the skin I shed

Who is normal?
I've never met them in my life
Can I get a warning?
Before they decide to stop by-
Hold your head up high
In a world so dry
I ride my ego
All the way to the top
The elevator
Breaks down and stops
Should I step in or step out?
Will we always go round?
So call me resourceful
Nobody forced you
And I know it's hurtful
But nobody forced you
Who is calling?
So late on my phone
It is appalling
To hear your voice alone
You speak to me
You're so **** cautious
And your words they
Make me nauseous
Love is ending
Love is not gold
it does not shine
It cannot be sold
But it is a resource
I can use
And it is something
I abused

I stopped addiction in its tracks
And down the railroad it ran back
To creep behind and burden me
Things I thought I buried deep
Imperfect I now see I am
Faithless and without a plan
Normal like a human being
Full of a familiar feeling
Impeccable I wish to be
Flawless to all eyes that see
Sculpted like a work of art
Standing in this trailer park
What are dreams I can't fulfill
Pushed off from the window sill
Here I pull from life's small till
To supply the pleasure to my brain
Dopamine you ****** fiend
I'd love to **** you, watch you bleed
But without you I'd know no love
And with no love there is not one

They blink like diamonds in the treetops
Shining lights of life through the canopy of darkness
Dancing like kindred spirits

there will be no cadence
Or StRuCtuRe either yoUr poeam might be pretty
yOur poEm might be wise
bUt no one thinks that this is a poem
it is a poem in disguise.

Is it possible to hate someone
Who has done you no wrong?
Only if it is possible to love someone
Who has done you no right.

The EL train howls through the avenue
Autos move slow through slush
Trudging about I think of you
Thoughts flow, my mouth hush
And even through this cold air,
I can't stop my feet from going on
It's as if I am without a care,
When Chicago has me in her arms

Dreams and hopes and big ambitions
Love for learning and brighter visions
Adolescence, and fruition
And classrooms where words once spoke.
Of walls that smell like laughter
Of dreams caught, sought after
Of webs of friends and short-lived lovers,
And paper where thoughts were written
Like floors of white, and walls the same
With lockers red, where we once came
In mornings, lunch and afternoon
Conversations end too soon.
With handshakes, of high fives,
Cars that we would drive,
Tests we took, and times we shared
And teachers who were always there
In preparation, in development
In transformation, of evidence
Of formation, of foundation,
And grey steps that lead inside

There used to be a girl I knew and we'd dance under lights
Didn't think about the future, forgot the present life
There used to be a town I knew but the homes are boarded up
Make room for the city, make room for the trucks.
There used to be a train I took, it went to the valley and back
Now the valley's but gone now - trees grow in the tracks
I used to be the president, now I'm just another resident
You be the king and I'll be the joker so you can't fool me.
Time and space, they have no place
In my mind, we'll all move on.
