Raven, weep not.
Your time has yet to come.
Your screams make children flee.
And women scream.
You make men quiver in fear of disease.
I've always been scared to lose the things I love
Everything I've lost
I loved
Or losing them would have been no loss
I ask myself stupid questions
As if they have a right answer
Is it lost if it can be found?
With loss comes sadness
But the sad find things
We avert our eyes from what's ahead
Look down in self pity
With that contemplating look
Sometimes finding the strangest of things
Unwanted, forgotten and withering things

As if this poem was a sick joke
Not to be taken seriously
Like an obvious hoax
I have made it rhyme here
So I can cope

I'm painting a sad picture today
I found myself then lost my way
When two roads lead to the same destination
Do we take the shorter route
Or take a journey through the grounds of recreation?
The longer it is the more to see
The more we find
The more we will be
Forget the things things that can't be found
Resist depression
Don't look at the ground

you never died,
it's Logic.

you're still a king,
a drug addict
a rapper
a messenger, a killer
a pilot, a secret goal you never knew

but in your heart you know
because we're all fighting the same fight

moreover, you are the Empire
you are the Family
the Spirit
the Government
you are just a head of God
taking it all in,
making it all go.
inspired by Logic

i need my inspiration again
where is my salvation
i can't find the chaos
i can't stand the silence
is this hide and seek
or am i blind
is this a child's play
or am i too kind
savage thoughts
with no actions
disoriented mind
or minds
maybe i have 3
or none at all
is conscience real
or is it a delusion for which
we all fall
are memories real
what i wrote yesterday
does it mean the same now?
what i do today
will i remember tomorrow?
it's chaos
chaos alright
but not the chaos i once knew
no this is not it
im going insane in quest
ugly old ensemble
throw at me yourself
blanket me
consume me
this clarity is clouding up
and you're the only way out.

This is my home
This is where I sleep
This is where I hope
This is where I dream.

This is where I cry
This is where I scream
This is where I'm home
This is where I'm me.

I live for it,
Breathe it in:
All the faults
In the skyline
But the breathtaking dawn
Is my lifeline.

This is where I raise my voice
This is where I made my choice
This is where I decided what to give
This is where I decided to live.
My city is still the beautiful wonderland it was when I was still little, in my eyes. I love it with all my heart. I would do anything for it.

I was in this deep.
I just wanted her.
It hadn't even been that long.
I just want to be with her.
She is amazing.
So unique.
Not afraid to be herself.
My mind won't stop thinking about her.
I know if things fall through I'm going to crash.
Like a **** addict after the high.
Coming down is bad.
You are sky high.
Then you begin your decent.
Down... Down... Down...
I fell for her.
It's too late to turn around now.
Im glad it's too late.
Quite frankly I don't want to turn around.
I want to stay right here with her.
Every morning.
Every lunch.
i miss her when she isn't here.
The days are hard without her.
I message her.
Call her.
Such a sweet girl.
No I've never seen her dark side and we all have them,
But when I meet her demons that's okay.
The demons have to come out sometimes.
Chae let her demons stay out.
Mel is everything to me right now.
She hasn't let her demons out to play yet.
But we shall see
She brings out a sense of dare in me.
Something like a flame.
She taught me to live on the edge.
Chae tried but she ended up pushing me over.
Mel helps me balance there.
The edge is beautiful place.
Only with her though.
The edge is amazing.
I never want to leave the edge.
Stay here forever.
Walking in a short line yet being okay.
I'm okay with her.
to a girl I've fallen hard for.

Shout it from the roof top.

Cap and tassel,
diploma,
freedom from academia.
A swift, ****** birth
as I'm shoved through to real life,
supposedly born grown,
a bright smile and a firm hand shake,
along with a list of accomplishments.
I have none, my resume made
completely of Diablo Rock Gym
and Chipotle.
Great.
Maybe I can still fail a class,
tell the professor I copied
my A paper, get expelled
and start all over!
Or fade away quick,
sink fast before anyone notices.
I'll slide into some forgotten swamp,
survive on worms,
and my own words,
                                    my own words,
             my            own                 wo,
my                   own            w
                                 my                      own
                                               my          ow
                   my
            m                                                   y
   m
