I always liked cars ,
but lately I' ve come to love them...
especially mine.
He' s not "really nice" but
he' s mine.
For that ,
I' ll always love him.

His name is Bruizer...
Bruizer Jones
...and he' s my car.
Not my first.
Hopefully not my last.
He' s my companion.
He' s family.

"Good boy"...
is what I would say
as I rubbed his dash.
Lord Knows he' s been through it.
And Lord Knows ,
I' ve been through it
...but Bru made sure
WE , got through it.

Most , if not all , would say
"It' s just a car".
Well ,
he' s making a lot of people look bad.
He stayed.
He fought.
He helped.
He assured me.
He carried all my ****.
I thank God for him.

Bru taught me the joy of driving.
And even as fast as he could go ,
with his tiptronic transmission an all ,
he taught me the joy of going slow.
He help me appreciate isolation.
After all ,
That just meant more "QT" with him.

I laughed with him.
I cried with him.
I clutched onto my life with him ,
cause I almost died in him.
Of course ,
he can' t laugh
or cry ,
but with listening skills like his...
he doesn' t need to.

I wish I could do more for him ,
everything the others didn' t.
I owe it to him.
He went to war with me...
and made sure I made it back home.
I know people that can' t do that.

Anyone that truly...REALLY knows me
knows that their dreams ,
become mine.
So if Bruizer could dream ,
I' d like to believe he' d dream for

Really Nice Music ,
on A Really Nice Road ,
cause he' s been A Really Nice Car.

I shouldn' t fight
because I don' t want to
because I' m scared to.

Because if I do fight...
I' m going to
hit you really ******* hard.
Because I don' t want to fight
and you choose to.
So I' m not gonna sorta kinda hit you...
I' m gonna really ******* hit you.
And I don' t wanna **** you
but I might
on accident...
and I can' t live with that.
I don' t want one fight
to claim two lives.

So please
see my peace.
Believe it.
It' s real and I promise.
It' s pretty much free.
Don' t fight me.

As much as I don' t want to fight
I find myself being apart of one. Sometimes I wonder if it' s my fault.
Which is strange
because I don' t wanna fight.
I wanna be heard. Yes.
Understood ? Absolutely.
Validated ? ****, at least sometimes.
More often than not.
But I' m not trying to
"win one over you".
I want us to both win
because like I said
my peace is real.

But so are these hands.
Don' t fight Toni.

"Look at all those birds up there bro. Must be nice to have a view like that."

"What do you mean ?"

"To be able to see anything. Everything."

"Why do you wanna see everything ?"

"I mean , I don' t know if I WANT to see everything but it' ll be nice to be able to ya know ? They make me jealous sometimes. Most times."

"They ?"

"Birds. They can just....go ya know ? Night , day , rain , sunshine. They have this....strange freedom."

"You DO know YOU' re a bird....right ??"

"Hardly. All I can do is run."

to finally feel the bliss of
Invisibility.

....to be stuck at home
with nowhere to go
or no one to see ,

with all the freedom in the world.
