Some of us just wanna live Some of them just wanna die We'll do things they never did They do things we'd never try They look for beauty like it's been hid We look for beauty in the holders eye Most of them will have some kids Most of us will stay kids flying kites I just wanna be You just want me to never leave I just wanna plant this seed You want me cause I'm what you need - J.A.M

Oppositions
I can't wait to get off that plane Kiss you, watch your face turn red and Let the endorphins flood your brain It's sad to know three days later I'll be gone Not sure of when I'll return again Too good to be true could fit this situation, but there's nothing "too good" about it The lackluster notion of how much is just wants floating around in our hearts turns me to stone and I keep reaching for something to give me some type of leverage on reality So much of me is magnetized to you, yet so much of me has no clue What it's really gonna take to make this real, what it's really gonna take to make or break our ordeal I'll let it run it's course, but I can't act surprised When everything I want drowns in the blink of your eyes Nothing ever gets in my way if I really want something, but your not just "some thing" Your human, you have your own wants, your own needs, you have a heart, and you have feelings I'm gonna do my best to make my chest a place where you can frequently lay your head to rest Cause... I want nothing from you, but if you want you can be everything to me Now if this wasn't ******* corny enough, than I don't know what is.... Unfortunately I love you to death and I'm just "thinking out loud" -J.A.M

No Such Thing As Fate, So I Guess I'm Lucky
Nothing to read here.... Just wondering why. I notice if I constantly post, I trend, get 'likes' and Comments all the time. I guess I'm just expressing what it's like to know how political and influential others are to what gets read and what doesn't. Unfortunately, there is so much artistic and expressional work on this site that never gets read...

Why Don't I Trend??
Too much of a good thing can be a bad thing But a bad thing could be a good dream Let the wind blow and let the heat release Pressure on the seam needs to be relieved, so let the stitches rip and throw away the pet peeves Grant a breathe to whats left and let it breathe Give up a little bit, give a kick to your troubles kid and just walk this earth with intent to live Some... Someone once told me Some... Someone once showed me One... Once upon a time Someone told me Not to pay attention to time and just live boldly Give a lil' bit and get a lot more Hear the clock click as the ship hits the shore Now your livin' Now... What more could you ask for? Stress may get the best of the best And the luckiest may become unlucky and be quickly laid to rest Just continue to stay stationed In a venue where your complacent As life falls into a crevice adjacent...

Crippled
I fall in love with my ideas at night Call upon smiles and tears my of life Its all ups and downs, lefts and rights Grippin' this beer doesn't helps me keep up the fight I sever my truths and lies, So no need to use a disguise, but some will never know who and who's not on their side, It's A Matrix type surprise You'd think so much expierence Would leave me fearless, but the world is deaf and nobody hears this Drip, drip, drop. Is it blood or rain, no one can explain their plot So I sing, sing, sing along cause it wont be long until I'm skippin rocks in a pond Wishing I could light my own fires and drop my own bombs Few can relate to the way my thoughts detonate so they try to separate reality from fiction with great debates Makes me feel awkward as **** like I been stuffed in a locker and im stuck, but I could shift this **** if I just had a proper clucth So...good luck... tryin to relate mother ****** i got more miles on me than interstate truckers I help the devil sell dreams to crippled human beings that know what it means To need to feed cause we feign to bleed On my nightstand lie a couple of things, 2 sticks of lung disease, 1 magazine and 1 pic of a dead human being

Thoughts on Paper
Every now and then when you can't eacape through your pen When there's no letter to send, no heart to mend, you can't pretend That perhaps you might just wanna collapse cause you feel so trapped Like your foreheads been stamped, with "out of order" cause the light bulb won't light up in your lamp... -J.A.M

Writers Block
Not spoiled or rotten, but I might be rotting Cause I'm everything you never wanted, but you got me Turning the page... as the page flipped you metaphorically shot me A quick shift of the hips, as you puckered a kiss, you needed to turn the page so you licked, your thumb and your fingertip then gave it a flick Tell me, tell, tell, tell me... What you thought I was Tell me, tell, tell, tell me... Everything you want cause I'm right here... Right, right here my dear. The way this was written is so descriptive you might as well have a prescription of your own incentives, but instead you dismissed it for a place in the fake heavens with the rest of those ******* -J.A.M

Food for Thought
I stand beneath the sun Clenching teeth just for fun Leaching bogus conundrums I get clumsy cause I can't run I'm not smart, but I'm not dumb Leave me a piece to eat Even if it's a crumb -J.a.M

Standing Alone
From time to time , there might be a hiccup in my giddy up, leaving people patiently waiting for what? ... Like they have a plate of pancakes and I'm the last drop of syrup. Birthday cards.... Anniversary cards... a personal letter... I feel the pressure To do better and better There is no more "xoxo, love Joe" I have no daughters, I have no sons, but I do have loved ones Ever since I started to put in verbal/written efforts, I've become bummed Give people an inch, they take a mile, all the expectancy has started to pile Like ... you wrote that for him/her, what about mine? with a lame smile... -J.A.M

The Downside Of Unique Rhyme and Write
Well get a load of this lil lady It was far from a maybe when I called you my baby, but lately Since you claim I'm acting shady I've feel like it's yours and my time we're wasting, even though I was patiently waiting to continue creating Things were so simple all we had to do was keep behaving Now I point the finger at you, you point yours at me and it's eachother we're blaming... -J.A.M
