If you could have it all, everything your heart desires would you try? Just a sip, they said, your dreams will come to life. What happens when the drink runs dry? Your aspirations shrivel, you confidence wilts. So, will you take a sip?

Drink
Recklessly I cruise a plateaued plane One I call memory lane Which in hindsight was kind of insane I'm not sure what I was looking to gain There's not much other than pain in the ones I retain I know this, it's beyond first hand eyewitness obvious, Even prior to being forced to meticulously explain Becoming increasingly familiar with that ruthless domain Thankfully some truly cherished living snapshots remain However, most have broken free from their neglected, rusty chain And I'm left cursing the bane of my existence, While, in plain sight, the flashbacks that cause my eyes to drain Swerve in and out of my lane Joy ridin' my misery or being metaphysically driven to the torture of the mind and soul, Instigated by a fraction of a fractured brain That to this day isn't clear on what's it's actually sayin' Can not seem to refrain from immersing myself in self inflicted pain Forgotten or slain? What's it matter if the outcome will be the same; Me, laying motionless in front of a raging train, Leaving only a crime scene stain One that'll go as unnoticed as it did when it flowed through a main artery vein 'Till any and all evidence of my unspectacular, Super localized reign Washes away in the rain And I become nothing more than a name ©2024

~•§•~ Nothing More than a Name ~•§•~
(Chorus) Driven By a fear that's not my own Hidden It's not my fault my heart is stone Given More than I can handle alone I give in... ...knowin' I'll never know if I've ever been forgiven (record scratch to Queen sample) Carry on, carry on Nothing really matters... ...to meeeee (speed/tone pitched down and fade out) ©2023

for now, it's theory
I started dreaming then I couldn't stop. I was awakened to the cruel plot. Sounding crazy coined as a crackpot. Tried to hold it in but I could not. Spill the beans watch the heads roll. Dump all the bodies into a big hole. Storm the hill and burn the structure. Ravish these power driven mother ******* Steak a claim upon my last will. Take all the money to the landfill. I will not be your walking puppet. I break your rules because I love it

Realize lies
I am of the past, the present, and the future; reminiscent reflections of incomplete potential. Never satisfied with the present, I seek a brighter image. A confident black woman fulfilled.

Who Am I?
Just in case What if Eve, as an easy lable for YMRCA, were the first wombed man with wit to make her will known, vocally? What if she could sing, and smile, wink and blink and look away, coy, from the crib. She steals, so'ld say the tales, her daddy's heart, but not so fast this is, say 120 KYA, as current model mortals mark time since most recent common mom... walked balanced, upright... I bet she could dance and sing... but some reason or another, now no offspring of any mom alive when YMRCA walked, walks now. Not upright, ya sher... maybe eve was the only wombed man. What if, any of that, but this is a strue as we may know... all construed facts point to life being struely not as simple as a boom... though there are ways to end it, as we say we well know, we've seen the cancers... mental deranging during mind wandering, we have heard the stories, Hydes who remained, but only Post-mortal Marvel has myths where Hyde is the happy side. Silly, I would love to have friends. But no stupid people, none un willing to use a word of the day to escape a bout of ignorant rage -- Brubeck, Sonny... yeah like the Sundance Kid's prison flick, -- but Sonny was a first gen Jesus Freak, with one of those, at will, eididic memory's. He also owned the first digital watch I ever saw. I thought he was rich. In a rage, Sonny once screamed in my hearing, GOD WHY MUST THERE BE OTHER PEOPLE? as orderly types were taking him, strapped to gurney, to Camarillo State Hospital, a truly beautiful place for solitary rememberence of everything you ever said or did. Like, the window of your soul become the big screen, with no body projected there... all around me everyone is not there... then I see, I guess, this is a way that prayer was remembered as Sonny slowly rose to re ify a present with other people in it, but masked.

I want to understand human purpose ; The doubtless impaired devotions that deviate from ‘The Human Idea’ There’s something ‘recovered’ that persists in each life yet in each life it is usually quashed habitually These purposes are mused from off of the makings of our lives and when applied can become true unearthed work a driven propulsion a **** You’ or offering to the ‘Creator Idea’ a truth of an individual view or at least some sort of an approximation.

Remnant
Your hunger grows a flame fanned by desire An instable voice in your head No sleep ,restless Never present running to stay a few steps ahead The more you see,you know the praise is cheap it doesn't translate But now you've begun they're watching Prove it ! Prove it!

Driven
While you stuff my throat with your words, I still have you wrapped around my pinky. For you are rendered under the power of my lips, The slight touch of my tongue on your neck, The will of every man held between my legs. You shake, You grab at me, You moan my name and yet, You think you have your power. As I lay with you, Your soul slips into perdition, Your eyes beg for mercy, My fingers trace down your abdomen and leave marks behind. My pet tiger, You have earned your stripes and in my keep, you stay. You buckle under the pressure of my whimpers and whispers, The scrunch of my face while you hold my body beneath yours, Our foreheads pressed together in pleasure. My love, You cannot leave me. For I have your own will used against you.

Your Will Power
being driven off a cliff isn’t too bad other than the cold breeze and that song that ended too soon the butterflies even eventually fade but man, let me tell you about the view clouds danced with the horizon the setting sun peaked through Bob Ross would’ve envied my last adieu sea gulls hovering waves crashed over dunes ocean mist floating freely my head was stuck on stupid **** bills unpaid plants unwatered I wondered what you’d assume You'd search for something rational Maybe a faulty barricade or a curve that I hit too soon positive I had been a little reckless in fact those are partially true I don’t know how to tell you the real answer was you

2/30
man and woman are one when wooing alchemy is done when what is man is wanted so bad by woman and what is woman is wanted so bad by man touch and tease tantalise and squeeze till joined in genital congregation speaking tongues of lustful sensation become feverishly driven in procreational oblivion till peaks are reached till urges are beached but fluids are blended and the seed is sown deep inside where it may be grown

procreation congregation ...
Purpose, satisfying, glorious purpose swells my heart until it's **brimming, bursting,** and begging to overf           \l             \o               \w onto a page. ... What do I do? Where do I start? How do I direct this bundle of raw motivation? How do I mold it, shape it into a helpful, useful format, and point it in the direction I want? How do I use it?

To The Girl Who Committed Suicide
It chips away at me Makes me hungry Hungry to be successful Hungry to be the best I can be Hungry to be the center of attention A hunger I can never satisfy A hunger that eats away everything It starves me when I'm content It has burrowed deep inside me I can't rid this being that consumes me I can't drown it I can't feed it I can't see it Because it's taken over every part that makes me me There's no lonelier feeling

The Parasite
If I told you about everything, all the truth kept locked inside If I made you a promise that forbade me to lie I'd tell you how ****** up I am, of the thoughts I keep at bay I'd show you all the scars I've made, then I'd run away If I couldn't hide myself behind my broken shades There would be no point in living, my life driven by my shame

Driven
When a woman explores the deeper meaning of who she is, she is unstoppable. When she decides to dry her eyes, apply those red lipstick on her lips and become irrisistable. Her mind is made up, because she was tired of being fed up. That woman is fierce, driven and is prepared to shatter glass ceilings because she has now found the meaning. Skipping empty pages hiding her stories...she now fill them with words she was once so afraid to speak, love made her weak. Look at her now, shattering glass ceilings and she wears her pain well, She was overwhelmed but she overcame. Without fame she turned heads. I see that woman in me, once possessed by feelings. She is the daughter of the father who weds her mother...shattering glass ceilings. S.B

Shattering Glass Ceilings
I am the message, I inspire set souls on fire. A vestige of hope in days of darkness I speak words of revolution I can be the solution if you act now so don't detract from the words I am saying and the message given which is driven home with concrete verbs and feeling sealing the change for the future I teach I nuture souls with love and not disdain I heal the pain of the poor but i shame the guilty with words fired like justice driven arrows to make them atone for their sins but I let them change themselves within and their ways I am the message think feel me absorb my words.

Stand up Fall down Hit the pavement hard Conscience empty Shattered feelings Black stained and scarred Bar gripped Malevolence gone Trip wire sad Crossed line Gender home Mental anquish mad
