Mama,
All I ever wanted was your touch
Mama,
All I ever wanted was your support,
Mama I wanted you to be my pillar but here we are
And we're drowning in quicksand and you can't keep your own head above it all
Mama,
All I wanted was your love
Mama,
I just wanted to be better than a bottle
Mama,
You don't need it,
Mama i can see through it,
Mama,
You can't hide it, mama don't lie.
Mama I swear I'll run
I'll run far away
And I'll weep with the sky for my weakness.
Mama
You're beautiful
Mama you could be queen of this rock
Mama I love you deeper than I understand
Mama
Please mama play with me
Please mama stay with me
Please mama pray with me.
Mama I don't know if I could live without you.
I couldn't mama. I couldn't live without you.

There is darkness all around me.


I have a love affair with color,

But this void won't allow it.

I adore you, Yellow.

I want you, Blue.

Marry me, Red.

This void won't allow it.


This black is becoming me.

Pink, I love you.

Green, I miss you.

Orange, forget me not.

This void won't allow it.


I beg you darkness!

Just one ray of light.

Just a stream of white,

Give me a spectrum.

*This void won't allow it.

Solomon.

Rubies and sapphires
Rolled off your tongue,
Long legs and crimson lips,
Abysmally endless,
Muscled stallions and mares,
To take you everywhere,
Sweet and delicious,
Anything you taste,
Alexander would've bowed,
They could call you Midas,
With fingers of gold,

Solomon,
You asked for wisdom,
Man of God
He gave you the world.

we're all just walking around
with abyssal  chasms in our chests
and half a stolen heart in each fist

She was unmistakably clever,
People strolling past her on the street
would ponder to themselves briefly,
She must be a professor or a lawyer.
But it wasn't her round glasses,
Or her fitted blazer that convinced them.
It was her yellow shoes,
and the way they seemed to float
above the stained pavement.
Abraham Lincoln is my nam[e]
And with my pen I wrote the same
I wrote in both hast and speed
and left it here for fools to read

Hey you
ignorant uneducated
prideful loathsome
self-righteous glib
donkey

Take your opinions
Dice em up
Marinate them
Throw em in a ***
Bring to a boil
And simmer on low

Plate it
With bias on the side
Stare at your meal
And salivate
Like the dog you are

Chew it slow
Taste every bitter
Gritty crumb

Maybe then you'll
See your reflection
In the bottom
Of your dish

And be just as
Disgusted as me.
