Finding peace wasn't in a time of having nothing
Left to live for, sitting in a box possessing four
Poorly crafted walls in pure disparity of getting
Out alive and not going insane when you were
Never insane in the first place,
Bringing up memories in your head that you forsake,
Everyone is Greedy and they gotta have their cake,
**** I should have known that my friends were pure
Fakes,
Man the rumors circled and they follow you to your
Fate,
I'm the Quiet One , so I came up as a target,
Even til this day I still in back of classes markin',
All the people I'm gonna **** on when I make it
Out of these four walls,
Dying to call my mom but she withdraws.

I don't know why it takes so long for me to get ahold
Of you,
Your soul is too lucid  laced with redness of rosary residue,
I have no choice not to be in your presence, this is the exact
Meaning,
I'm blinking my eyes and I'm going insane for these miles
That I'm entering,
To get to you,
You love is like a flute, and I'm ready to be serenaded,
Shouldn't I be the one singing,
I got too much on my mind,
Besides, I'm enjoying the tune.

Am I really good? Will I be alright?
Looking for a chance but a different fight,
You shot me down but I got right back up and you
ain't seen me In a different light,
Tell me where did we go wrong when the time came,
I was always down for you but you were insane,
You shot me down,
And you just ran off with your friends again , dang!

Always thought you were the love of my life though......
But you were like everyone else in this hell of a school,
I never was cool,
I wasn't a *** of pretty flowers , a puddle of drool,
Everyone was treating me like I was a fool,
Unloyal to myself like a plain used tool,

Am I really good? Will I be alright?
Looking for a chance but a different fight,
You shot me down but I got right back up and you
ain't seen me In a different light,
Tell me where did we go wrong when the time came,
I was always down for you but you were insane,
You shot me down,
And you just ran off with your friends again , dang!

Reds and blues,
I don't want the blues,
I was like heaven to you,
Cutting ties,
Done with all the lies,
When I say cutting,
Red like blood tombs,
Forget I love you too,
Dusting off my shoes,
Please! I'll stay with you,
Just make a move,
Check mate,

Fulfilling all your needs,
Like I outta' be,
Learn the birds and bees by myself
Through *******,
Honestly,
I digress,
Expressing through the trees,
Love was just a sleeze,
Picking enemies,
Swear that I was amazed.

The world's bad enough,
My life is bad enough,
Yours is bad enough,
P.s , life isn't tough,
Cause once you put your trust in the man up stairs,
You'll know just what you get out of it , a palace with
Your peers,
They lack love in the states ,
And everything and everyone has a back story,
So try to ignore the hate,
And they'll over situate the wars,
And starting a new conflict like 9/11 and Paris and Orlando,
I'm making sure I seal all my doors closed, and,
I was skeptical about certain people and wouldn't talk to them,
The life I made for myself was unexpected,
And when **** hit the fan I blamed it all on him,
I souly and utterly regreted it,
Banging in the nails a little bit,
Blaming him for being born,
For going through life blind,
For making coincidental mistakes,
For having mental issues and phobias,
For being black,
For being misunderstood,
For being bullied,
For being betrayed,
For my father leaving me behind like every other
******* child,
For making me wear my heart on my sleeve
And fall in love easily with girl that don't love me,
So I could say things to them like.......

.....I'm so glad,
To be caught
In your love,

The love we have,
I would fight,
For all the above,
All in your love.

there is a storm inside you

destroying concrete buildings,unknown motels,and shacks

it won't stop raining

your ears won't stop ringing

the water is flooding castles and brick towers

the children are crying

water filling their lungs

their hands reach out for something

only to clutch the water

//

everyone's dead

you are now a nameless grave

if you looked up

you would see the lead sky

six feet underground,

motionless and without a sound

no one remembers you

no one remembers the storm

no one remembers the dead city

the children can be heard screaming

the rain hasn't stopped

glass buildings collapse to the ground

cities drown

all because

the storm inside you

was a little too loud.
