i
am
human
just like you
grew up confused
fused into a small hole
quite the ***** up
but focused
we are all like lines
i build escape plans through words
every time I find myself stuck
i find escape within me
i find escape in books
i took from my imagination
and drew inspiration
we are all like lines
lines guided my curvy path
life was a little like math class
nothing but memorization
strangers act like they don't remember that we were once friends
last year, last month, last night
or
in the past life
we are all like lines
some of us
meet with someone else
and we intersect once
we make contact
and touch
but funny enough
we never really touch
on an atomic level
our atoms repel
we are like lines
perpendicular
and
never cross paths again
but some of us
meet with someone else
never make contact
or
touch
we are like lines
parallel
we go on forever
but
never intersect
we are all like lines
i saw lines in the way i manipulated
the pen
the pencil
the brush
the spray can
i spray my pseudonym on your wall
well
because I can
the paint
dripping from the walls like
blood streaming down my eyes
the pain
a distraction that
kept me alive
kept me awake at night
kept me away from the safety of my home
but also
kept me away from the dangers of my home
a contradiction
i was living in the streets
the days i never came home
i was living in the streets
the days i never came home
i saw lines in capturing moments
the symmetry in architecture
in nature
i saw myself as a temple
a monument
we are all like lines
i saw lines in guitars
and
how i can change the sound each string makes in endless ways
but in reality
the guitar changed me
it changed the way i tune myself
i finally felt in tune with the world
the fire was inside me
when i took the first breath of air
the water was inside of me
science and religion
i was never thirsty
the earth is really old is all i know
growing up i never learned
never learned how to say no
always afraid of getting old
i forgot the lines i forever rehearsed
the day my mom found out i smoke ****
my eyes were low
and
so was
