expectations laying on me i need new things to think of friends no longer a subject of we these are me and mine to deal with breaking down metaphysical the physical weighing on my mental expectations cluster around magnify, see the visual bad day mirror talk I can’t even look straight words fog up the headscape steam rises please ventilate too many lines I’m ahead of time expectations turn the world into a drag race i put petal to the metal yet i look down upon where my feet are placed foot on the break The car crumbles and shakes Expectations destroy me Nothing is achieved until i feel peace yet my head and heart fall in pieces Please expectations no need for this please invest in the perception of freedom where expectations become the preachers Abandonment is scary but it is a solution We are all lost children

Purple. Gold. Turnaround. Fade. 24. Swish. Black Mamba gone All I can fathom is Clemente City of Angels - City of Bridges They rise - They fall All of us come and go.

Well R.I.P Mac Miller A kid who walked the same streets as me A kid who just came up on the scene No one knew what he had been through Except for the drug use he went through Puncturing his veins Now whenever people say his name, they will say it in vain. Nothing will ever be the same, when I walk those streets today.

One day I’ll tell you about the great rhinoceros And how people killed it And how I feel bad for it For I feel more for the rhino than our spoiled kind

one has long hair a dented smile and reflective blue eyes he’s a real-life version of a four-year old’s self-portrait- Pencily, stick-figurey, and an infectious smile of innocence two thinks with his heart and channels it through laughter a visual artist all the latter skin like caramel in the late summer even etched in him are tattoos of things that live three is a bird and my friends say that ironically but i won’t because he will fly to the top of the sky and will never look down on you four is me

Lately i’ve been facing a problem which is most common for all of us as if every hormone is like the sand tumbling through an hourglass, i am desperately chasing love mind you i have boundaries but they are a fortress for my expectations and this wall is sturdy and i deem it to be perfect in respect to my personal taste my walls are wooden with a fine cherry finish, tall, sleek and daunting i could even imagine the gate lowering over a trench like a jaw bridge however a wall built from wood is not practical if you were a raider or pillager i assume you would light my walls on fire that’s one way to get them down. My walls might be flawed but you could expect love to be as well because funny enough you would go through the flames of hell to reach that heaven who is she and so something flammable is always prevalent within us and when we are desperate for feeling, fighting through fires musters our thirst we become dry we forget ourselves we are highly flammable it is unsafe to play with fire

go down to the shore to do a job that is no chore take a whiff of the mists the river will give off a kiss lots of love in and lots of love out scraping the **** off the dock awaiting each tick of the clock and forget all that for when the present comes into fold be true to the stories the eyes behold two ducks with their ducklings swimming along the shore beholding the life of their world
