The pencil scraping along the paper, forming a masterpiece taken straight from the mind and the nerves along my spine was a lullaby.
And so I drew a gorgeous, full moon and shaded its craters,
I drew furious ocean waves because my Science teacher told me there was a relationship between the moon and the ocean.
It was so intriguing to know the closer the moon, the more revolting and furious the waves.
But my Art teacher also told me that art is a form expression.
I was expressing my feelings, explaining our situation, and my brain and hand agreed to compare us to the moon and the ocean because that's what we were.
You were always so beautiful yet distant; watched and loved by everyone, but explored by few.
I was always so revolting and mysterious, no one willing or able to reach the depths and hollows of me; better maps of the surface of Mars than my vast ocean floor.
We were so distant and different yet I needed you to be.
You were always waking up every emotion I thought I had been drained of; turned my lowest tides to crashing, fierce waves; always dependent of your full or new state.
You are my moon and I am your ocean; so different yet it feels so right.
The ocean wasn't so realistic until I felt salty tears of it run down my cheeks,
there was no more silence.
I was at low tide, and I needed my moon.

I thought I knew addiction
when I turned 16,
I was forced into smoking
left craving it's feel

I thought I knew addiction
when I first felt the pleasure
of losing 2 lbs
and skipping my dinner

I thought I knew addiction
when I first sipped alcohol
left wanting more
feeling like a fool

but I only knew addiction
when I met you
when you held me in your arms
and told me not to let go

why in the world
would I want to let go
when the moment we pulled away
I would be left needing more?

I knew of no addiction
until you held my hand tight
told me that you loved me
in the dead of night

I am left now
confused and alone
lost without you
because you were my home

and I still desire you even now
but my heart is in tatters
and my mind is in two

Two parts intellect one part man
might as well take the earth put it in my hands
and i'll shake it, until all borders disband
so the lands can be shared by all who stand
we shall withstand, all snakes in the sand
feel the earth shake mother natures grand plan
of unity, strengthen our global community
and spoon feed, all uneducated soon to be profits
no more glock clips be poppin
cuz all crime will be stopping when the loving is abundant, i love it
you got something bad to say? plug it
**** it, get it all out of your mind
the world is divine, beautifully
there is no time just perception influencing
thoughts, in every direction
while you be stressing here let me give you a lesson
take that frown turn it around upside down and stretch it
instead'n take your thoughts to how god's been blessing
your life, don't pout but learn from your strife
to ignite the flame, exists within all eternally
we're all born good we just need relearn to be

I used to spend days just kickin it back
now i spend days **** hitting the track
gotta be getting my life on track
so this is my world and i'm taking it back.
