lately
ive been tryna not think of life
as so high-stakes
ive been meditating
and praying
for my mind's sake
and for the love of faith
nowadays,
****** hate to say
that things cant be okay
bruh,
that's not okay

i sip earl grey
as thebe bangs in the headphones
my mind wanders
and lands where it lays most
that's home
simplifying self-sacrifice
to an aspect of
the journey of life
but i gotta understand that
the strife
is gonna **** me
it's gonna ******* **** me.
home isnt where the heart is.

i think about my momma
and sometimes i cry
thinking about how age builds
so fast with time
i cant imagine a day
within this world without her,
thinking if i get too low
and crash, how much that’ll
hurt her

in this world,
we’re meant to suffer
i don’t know, though,
im gettin’ kinda sensitive
this skin is gettin’ paper-thin
from never winnin’
“everybody’s heart ain’t your own”
but they’re stomping
on my heart and my spirit
“they” is the world
im crying through these words
can you hear it? - n.a.
im a voice of pain, and i dont know if i want to be heard or not.
