You are like the itch in my throat You are a nuisance I could do without So I swallow some lyrical pills and kick you out But you are doubt And it doesnt matter that I'm the illest I am so sick no anecdote could **** this No sugar coating can hide bad business I'm feelin like a train derailment, my lives so off track Might as will hit the cupboards and pack Leave tonight and leave for better or for dead Is life worth living, just to pay off debt?
But if I leave I will still be trapped in my head Funny how all these epiphanies are tapped into in bed Where if I was sleep instead Maybe I'd have a future not encompassing a floor that's wet and red If my compass was working I'd already be found Yet now I lay in the void of avoidance Wishing not a thing in the world could exploit the simplicity of being thoughtless Then I remember I am in the wilderness And I may be found as a skeleton So I make a fake parachute over the next three months I climb a tall tree And spread the fabric out on top Hook myself up And then lean over a branch into the air And when the rope meets its full length I loose all strength But noone will ever have to know that I never flew And felt the high skies breeze That I was always so low Noone but me And what hangs is a dismantled ego But not my body! Not my mind For I stand at the bottom of the tree looking up And you would think you won the battle But I've come to realize there is no up and down in the Universe Theres just a line, either bouncy, or straight or curved And since forward is the only place to go, I unfold these verses out of the crevices of my brain So I have something more than my negativity to leave behind And thus lays a trail of bones from the creativity I caught and ate alive And now I can be at another level of life, because I can travel through time And go back, pick up old poems and make them dance to new vibes Then be so **** glad I decided not to cut my rope short, so glad I stopped drowning sorrow with a quart So glad I didn't give up on love And then realize how great it feels to realize theres no such thing as above All that ever really mattered was just now Just us I've always deserved freedom And now I've found justice Some people reside in conformed buildings Birds fly south Bears hibernate But when the cold comes I let my poems slip out my mouth For these sentences are wild But these syllables are my warmth These words are my home And so, I will never be alone
