Dear friends, Sorry I can’t hang out I’m too busy being emotional Too busy numbing my feelings Too busy stuck in this hole of self doubt Sorry I can’t be enough for you That I don’t want a ******* corporate job That I don’t care about money or status That I don’t wanna follow the path I was on Sorry to myself if I wind up like her I just wanna find my purpose Before it’s too late to know for sure But I’m sorry if I become absent as your only light i need to do what’s best for me But Sometimes I don’t know what’s right And I’m sorry that when you pass I wasn’t there to take the same care Cause you were like my parents but now I’m not even there And I’m sorry that I broke your heart That I still think about you every day But I think it’s probably out of spite Although I hope you are ok I wonder how you’re doing I really hope life is swell I’m sorry I haven’t been there to wish you well Or tell you goodnight at the end of every day But that’s really not my problem and that’s all I have to say I don’t know why people say sorry so much Too apologetic cause we are really not And maybe we have sympathy which doesn’t mean a lot When apathy overrules the empathetic thoughts

Nah I don’t really like you I just like the attention The feeling of being wanted Like someone’s always there to listen And I realize now the cause of many regrets I didn’t say you could cross that line I just said you could sleep in my bed But boundaries get blurry when you don’t know how to say no Cause it’s the fear of not feeling wanted Which I can’t let go And I think it makes me feel better To look back at the past With a mindset it was my fault My own actions that led to this or that Ithinking about it makes my blood boil up   Not being in control of your own body Being taken advantage of   Dancing with the thought that you’re weaker than you think Someone who can’t say no Is not someone I want to be So the past becomes grey And maybe if I just tell myself That I wanted it It won’t feel like such hell Cause when you tip toe of the edge You’re bound to fall off There is no yes or no   On the cliff that we call touch

Stuff I don’t want to blatantly talk about
On and off a lot weighs on my heart Heavy on my chest don’t know where to start I’ve gotten lots of paper cuts while writing my book There’s chapters where it hurts to go back and look Pages that are just too hard to read Hard to understand... like trigonometry In school I never took that class but it’s probably really difficult if you’re bad at math Life is like math or kind of like an onion They both have the potential to make you cry in a sudden Like in the middle of the day when you shouldn’t be emotionally unstable but you are cause that one chapter and it’s little sad ending left a huge fu king scar And I don’t write this for anyone but myself cause there’s feelings I wanna yell and emotions I wanna shout To bury the shame and the doubt and regret And pull the bullet out that’s gone straight through my head Bullets are like onions and math I’d assume they all can make you cry But pulling it out is harder, when your own fingers are digging inside Or by the fingers of another person Ripping apart your wounds Is a scar ever really healed if it can still bruise I’m not angry, just a little salty Cause there’s things I don’t want to remember that tend to haunt my memeory I’d rather have a nice lunch with my demons make them friends Then share my **** with people who won’t understand But how will I ever know if I don’t ever try I think you ****** me up too much to even try And I’m standing on the stage, naked in a nightmare shaking and afraid Cause we trip over our humanity just to be fake wearing religion and hypocrisy to the big masquerade And here I’m standing in front of the crowd called life Imagining everyone in their underwear I heard that makes it seem alright And I think it really does help if we tear down our walls if we share our truth our raw emotion our biggest downfalls Unite the solidarity I’m not the only one who’s ****** up You won’t find me wallowing in my sadness often but it’s there And I don’t make this **** up

It's not till you're deprived that you can really love something Anyone who has gone to a foreign speaking country can understand this the words being spoken are stripped of all meaning to you Then you go home and there's no more translating or confusion You understand When you touch me I understand I sense every subtle advance and fight to deny subjectiveness But your language is too convincing, too poetic and I melt under your finger tips they trace the trails of my silent desires in pursuit of the never ceasing void The black hole that never stops consuming because there can never be enough Fill me with pages and pages more than a million libraries If not you, then perhaps the next This is my language and you speak it so well Then one day I'm stranded Tens of thousands of years it seems on a desert island where the islanders don't speak the same language as I do But one day I'm rescued and able to speak to the rescuer It clicks back so easily and there is a deep appreciation for dialogue after being deprived Now talk me to sleep as your hands roll across my back like the tide Tell me what I Need to get me by before I'm stranded once more

Love Language
sometimes in order to breathe i smother my lungs with funny things then exhale you with a sigh of relief just to wake up the very next night suffocating again amidst the fight

ashes
8 o'clock getting started 9 o'clock you want me tonight 10 o'clock poisoned veins, glassy eyes   11 o'clock feed me perfumed casket lies 12 o'clock I reject you, first time 1 o'clock you light cigarettes 2 o'clock while I ponder 3 o'clock pity or 4 o'clock

Thinking of You Tomorrow
5/16 time is perspective Going through years of tangible memories I realize I took for granted how creative my younger mind was before the world had made any impact on my spirit and I rested in an untouched place a sanctuary of ideas that could easily manifest themselves into reality because anything was possible a rich land of colors and frequencies I can no longer see or hear time has enabled me to see just how bursting my mind was and just how boxed it is now I thought then as I do now that my capabilities of creating are limited by the invisible boundaries I have yet to learn how to break the only difference is, my creations I see from the past are crazy my mind has traversed and ventured through many different landscapes since then but all of our landscapes are recorded I can still find that sanctuary from years ago where the river of colors flows I can't completely journey back to the land itself but I can remember it and find a space for a river here a river is never consistent nor steady throughout creativity comes and goes whether it be days or years but once it is in you it never leaves the colors stay stained in your skin no matter how many downpours wash you bare or how many droughts scorch your skin dry

Land of the River of Flowing Color
Life is a paradox So am I If you choose your reality then what is a lie I walk through the desert but its feels like rain constantly changing   nothing was the same wait. didn't mean to quote Drake but when music been around this long everybody sounds the same everybody's right nobody's wrong music saves the soul but so does God how come a believer can preach but can't sing along its like knowledge makes me smarter yet erases where I'm from. this world is crazy you could be gone in just a blink think don't think think in the scheme of things do i really know anything?
