Water hits the ground. You can hear a light tap, tap tap
Every last drop breaks and scatters as it hits.
It releases what is has been holding in.

Holding, holding, holding,

Until it has no choice but to let it all go
It cannot stop, must let it all go.

Go, go,go

Harder, harder, harder

Unable to maintain control anymore.
It begins to take over, cannot fight it anymore.

Go.Go.Go!

…   b   r   e   a   t   h   e.

There is no more to release.
Light again- Feel as light as nonexistence
So light and free, relaxing amongst a sky of blue.

Floating,
                      floating,
                                           floating

Blood sweat tears…

These are the juices of my creativity
My very own  muse
Rock bottom and I have met quite often
And I scrapped climbing back up
I get tired and perspire cos its really deep
Deep to lose a friend
Deep to fail again and again
So in my frustration my eyes will leak
And the future will seem bleak
Blood sweat tears
I should hate you but i don’t
In fact your flow reminds me of just how weak I am and just how strong He is
Your flow clears my eyes to see
Your flow makes me sad
But these floors at rock bottom hold countless wisdoms and learning
I do not grasp them always or immediately but when I do I never forget them
Blood sweat tears
Flow
Flow freely

It's been a couple months now
But I haven't moved on
My heart still plays that old love song
I stay up late trying to sort it all out
I feel like I'm in summertime drought
Dumb and In love
I was as free as a dove
Now I put that dove in a cage
And hope
You will open it
Like a story book page

I like how a hundred things can be small or big, depending on whether you are lying down or on crack.
