I write raw unfiltered vomit from the mind and spirit. Sometimes divine, sometimes disgusting, but always real. I don't generally use traditional format, I usually just let it flow but sometimes I change it up a bit. My writing is usually more like spoken word or rap rather than something written in a poetry book. I've been influenced a lot by underground rap, and I might like to put some of my rhymes into tracks at some point in the future.
Into material I was ******
From divinity to disgust
I'm told to live through it's a must
The fear, the loathing, and the lust
Never knowing who to trust
Sometimes I want to bleed the rust
And disintegrate myself to dust
But god forbid I spill the real
Because we're told it's weak to feel
Just lock it all inside and seal
Can't penetrate a wall of steel
What's left of us is empty shells
We're perpetrating our own hell
In this place we're forced to dwell
Now real's mistaken for a trend
Enemies are confused with friends
This mass distortion never ends
I don't claim I'm free from guilt
I'm trying to wash away the filth
Including former friends and lovers
They end up showing their true colors
I'm made to duck and run for cover
Hide myself but see through others
You can look now, you can't touch
I've been brought down way too much
I've been sinking far too long
But now I'm rising, now I'm strong
Up above where I belong
What was once lost now was found
It's all in who I keep around
So keep your self worth on the ground
But I won't be coming down
