#9-5
I'm trying to get off the floor Hard and painful to break through This selfish, superficial glass ceiling called corporate. I have no choice but to sit and sacrifice to it. Why is it always about money? No room for the artist, the poet No time for the writer, nor the dreamer. I know I need to be at this nine-to-five If I ever want to afford my paper and pencils. Determined to write through this candlelight But when you take the time to look at my face, or stare into my eyes You will see a river flowing with such grace and force It will flood your world and make you cry. With such emotion in a moment of infinite love That you will feel like you were ready to die. I have thoughts I want to share with you, if you have the time. I'm patient though, at least I'm trying.

I'm Trying
I've been coming home, feeling kinda lazy Just art, just music nothing really amazing What I think is average others think is blazing I don't want to be stuck in a fuse about what was written I don't want to be stuck making ******** discussion I don't want to be the one to judge what is or what isn't Stuck in this fiction of making a living Ethan hunt on the hunt This passion is my mission I'm so passive aggressive I say **** my contestants All the hate, I digest it Check my inner intestines They are coated with steel What is the pursuit of happiness? Is happiness even real? False media & markets items bought for apartments ***** clothes on my carpet feeling down an exhausted Emotions are quite toxic All is a thought process Rolling over in bed I feel the dark on my eyes Then feel the light on my head Get up and do it again This cycle just never ends Penny pinching, and quarter quivering, dollar dribbling.... this Average life is for a simpleton
