Fear is the enemy
That punches you in the face
It freezes you up
Not allowing you to block with pace.

Fear is the enemy
That kicks you in the chest
Leaving you unable to defend
Because you're out of breath.

Fear is the enemy
That will **** you
With all the regret
Of what you didn't do
Don't let fear beat you up

I spend my time thinking
but all it brings is drinking
even with my eyes unblinking
I don't have an inkling

I spend my time creating
the gates of my debating
hating my own procrastinating
it's only time I'm wasting

I spend my time drinking
but all it brings is thinking
when my mentality is shrinking
I don't have an inkling

From the underworld
I arrived
Into the light
That often blinds
Oh thank the heavens
   For my rational mind...?
Everyone wants to get on the front page
**but sometimes i dont want everyone to see me

In white history books we learn how the epitome of privelage save the day.

In white history books black people trying to free themselves was cast away.

White history books cast aside the past and believe we have a more equal society.

White history books add to the ignorance allowing for race inequality.
I wrote this in a workshop with Zita Holbourne. It's not great but...

He never says goodbye
To the dead
He simply
Doesn't know how
They all think
He doesn't care
But he died a long time ago
And they were never there...
Monsters, monsters
under my bed,
Please just stop
and get out instead.

Monsters, monsters
under my bed,
Please stop shaking
my knees and my head.

Monsters, Monsters
Whom I thought
was under my bed
I realized
you're just
inside my head.
been ages! i see spider webs all over my account.

Many of the greatest things
I've encountered in my life
Start with my philosophy
Five seconds of brave
Sometimes there's a second of
Oh ****
That follows from crippling fear
But those five seconds
Are all it takes to change things
My greatest friends come from this philosophy
My greatest accomplishments
Are direct results of courage
We can't walk through life in terror
Carpe diem
Seize the day
Take every opportunity to change for the better
And never let fear stop you
Because it only takes five seconds
Five seconds of brave
With maybe a single second of
Oh **** to follow
But never to regret
And now
It is time
To get to know myself.

What a frightening
Wonderful
Thing.

And thought about it for a long hard minute
Back to the block it goes
Another small victory
