five moments
in nine years
i felt like a poet
craftsman, yes...artist, rarely.
Ideas flow freely
You remember you forget
They fail they succeed
How many good ideas
Have been forgotten
See the mind is a crazy thing
Its to keep you alive
Yet it harms you
Its to benefit you
Yet it makes you fail
It protects you yet
It attacks you
It is the most unknown
Yet it does everything
Its strange how much it controls
Everything really

Never ask,
           Always think
                firstly...

                           And then follow
the words backwards,
           to find the meaning


of what was not clear the first time.

sometimes we rewind
                                  to find
what wasn't clear.
            

Freeze framing to find that moment
         we should have noticed
an indiscretion and navigate the
          meaning of where we  

fell to pick ourselves up
                            and recognise

our own failing.

I have a problem with paranoia





My phone buzzes but it’s just a ghost
My phone rings but that’s just me thinking

Driving fast made me feel more free then being in my own room
I’m being watched at home base
Someone is out here for another backstab
I’ve already lost my vibrance

My peace has been disturbed
I’m rolling off the road
I can no longer go home
I’m rolling off the road
I can no longer quiet my conscious down
I’m hitting the rail
I’m rolling off of a dream
I’ve failed and there’s no more believing

Everytime i try to paint you next to me
I fail

Why isn’t this working?

You’re supposed to be next to me
I guess
I hope
I don’t know where you’re currently at

Come and find me
The road can be stony
We can do this TOGETHER

Let me try again
I’ll paint you next to me
I’ll paint you in my life

My paint is getting less
I don’t know where to get new paint
The paint must find me
Just like you do

Just another day were people say that I mean the world to them
And fail to prove it
Tired af ....

Here’s to the most beautiful woman in the room, the woman that caught my attention not only by her looks but for the type of woman she is. Someone that pushes through and perseveres.

To the most beautiful woman in the room. The woman I dreamt of all my life finally came but now you’re gone. I would always think of different scenarios on how I dream to see you later in life.

To the most beautiful woman in the room. The woman that I dreamt of playing “Ribbons in The Sky” by Stevie Wonder. The woman that would be the first thought in the morning after I pray and the last thought before I close my eyes.

To the beautiful woman I had to let go. Still so beautiful, but I guess it was for the better that we just stopped everything. You left me in a dark time, but at the end of the day you’re still the most beautiful woman in the room.
First time writing in a while. Hope you all like
