American As people, we change too often to have a set bio to describe ourselves.
Empty days Empty nights No more fights Yet, I still fail to see a light at the end of this tunnel The world feels so dark without you

Empty
You are my sun You are the warmth that gives me life And when the night falls I'll always be there Right underneath your glow Blissfully chasing away from the darkness of night

Spring Haiku
Contrary to some belief The Earth is not flat Although, I wish it was like that Cause then I could fall off To escape all the sound But the Earth is round So now, gravity has me Stuck in a cell with see-through walls And all that I tried escaping, is still here I can hear I can see I can feel I can smell I can touch Have I no luck? My act of escape Has only gotten me stuck Living the same life I tried running from But, that's not the problem If I fell off the Earth Yet it still stays the same Maybe I'm the one who needs to change?

Falling Off The Face Of The Earth
Everything is in chaos, but lasting us A split second, you blink your eyes Take a breath Credulous, yet benevolent Mind chasing Awaiting new thoughts, like meteors To explode across your cerebrum Feelings in eardrums From the sounds around you Constant axon arousal Enticingly guides you On the path to feel Alive With an adrenaline skeleton Complex, trying to fit in But really, "who are you?" Because sometimes thoughts succumb Beyond your grasp, and they numb the way you feel And in those moments, we define our ideals Almost Soley based on the bad things Instead of realizing We should not define ourselves for the chaos and chatter we internally ramble on with About half of us Cant mold an identity anyway Cause we don't understand The word is not meant to be What it's said to be Identity's definition Is not definite You see It's more like a clumsy representation Of what you want to be Since you are ever changing With the vibrations of thought Think of identity being more associated with how you adapt To everything thrown your way What defines you is how you display yourself When chaos itself Comes into your life Everyone has strife, cause life is not easy Just don't think you're alone Or have a mental disease

The Chaos Theory
Running, he's at the point of no return He slipped through the barrier The atmosphere tried to hold him back Lacking gravity, his feet float aimlessly for a ground Slowly plunging into the darkness of void, rope in hand Proves to be useless when there is only nothingness around He put himself too far out of reach from another souls now He felt weightlessness Nothingness A rocketman, shooting for the moon In a mood that lacked momentum Now floating, stuck in the darkness of space Realizing it was all a mistake To take a chance on reaching all the way for the moon When everything he ever needed Was in front of him on Earth all along

Weightlessness
As I stand before you today, on Valentines day I can’t help but feel my knees still shake and buckle, when I see that Sparkle light up the center of your beautiful, brown eyes My love for you has never died, I’ve always been head over heels Since the day you ripped off the disguise that kept the insecurities dwelling inside of that mind of yours And I’m sure you’ve heard it come out from my mouth before, but I really do love you Joanna From here, all the way to Savanah Just so you understand that, I’m a man who speaks his love with certainty And I’m no hopeless romantic, but I do understand the semantics of love So it’s spoken above, all as more than just 2 consonants accommodating 2 vowels Love isn’t just about writing vows To be wed for life, through sickness and strife It’s never alright for just these 4 letters, to be the only justification for people like us to stay together There is no universal definition given Although hallmark will tell you different Giving advertisement prescriptions to those experiencing affliction from solitude So rudely turning love into an addiction Completely missing the point of what it means to share yourself with someone else Love was when I saw demons inside of your eyes that you never felt obliged to hide from me Because you saw mine too Right through every facade I built up, consistently falling right back down I always wanted to be around someone I never had to hid a frown from Infatuated with the sound you created, from my heart palpating around you I just knew That what we had was not something superficial It was official, so we made it that way And today, I tell you how much I love you Not only as a lover, but more so as a friend Because time and time again, you never fail to be there for me As far as the eye can see, what we have puts the definition of love to shame In my opinion, it deserves it’s own picture frame

The tree dies but keeps on growing, The soul dries up but keeps on crying, Lovers leave but we keep on loving. Our children keep growing, But we keep on trying. The mysterious darkness keeps on descending, Light will guide our way, We are gone but in memories we live on. The earth keeps on spinning but we stand so still. The ash remains but we keep on burning. Everything is lost but we keep on finding. In the place between dreams and awakening everything is remembered but we keep on forgetting. The poem is done but we keep on going, The poetry is gone but we keep on writing.

The riddle of me Is bullets of art Shooting ink stains In your heart So you'll always love me And my mentality Is a mental breakdown Of three things Words, beats and rhymes Ahead of my time Thinking of blasting stars Around your head Knocked down Out for the count Going old school Wylie getting chased around On the road running Laps at the speed of sound Dropping TNT Boom Anvils like beats Flattening you out Gettin dizzy quickly Spinnin and spinnin Thinking freely It's my territory Down a black hole Following the white Rabid junk dealing Cat selling smiles Getting mad feeling The wheels are turnin Inside out A needle sewn Through the vane Injection infection Man in the mirror It's a sight to see Through the glass Pictures like a memory Before my rhymes crash And you see the other side of me Revealing my destiny Going insane I'm the only one to blame The ink stains They're smothering me Slithering inside me Covering my body The only thing to see Is my heart exposed But you all love me With these rhymes And flows A new era Another time A blast from the past But I'm heading to the future 89 miles an hour And I'll return Brake checkin With tire tracks that burn With doc in an urn To lure you in Back to where it all begins Tattoos of a heart Deep within my skin To replace the oxygen Breathing nitrogen Ink stained again Graffiti trigger Spraying art Deadly sins Bullets tearin you apart But these are my words And they come from the heart
