#illusive
When I looked in the mirror yesterday,
I saw a boy bright and full of life.
A boy care and worry free,
a boy sorrow and sadness free;
whose gaze is filled with hope
for what the future holds;
whose face is full of smiles
and heart devoid of strife.
But when I looked in the mirror today,
I saw a young man beaten and broken.
Beaten from life's awful woes,
broken from the fruits his wrong choices had sown.
His gaze filled with cynicism
and mistrust; the result of several
mistakes, betrayals, and failures.
Now, if I look in the mirror tomorrow,
what would I see?

Please know that;
I
Don't want to live
But I
Don't want to die
So I
Become a captive
Deny
My modus operandi
The lie
Is naturally aggressive
Can I
Adapt on the fly
Can't I
Be illusive
'Till I
Can answer the why
So I
Will try objective
A good guy
Give it a collage try
Then I
Become reactive
This stye
Permanently in each eye
I try
But the mole hill's massive
And I
Still have no answers to why
I cry
That's all I have left to give
Still I
Knew better than to be believe in somethin' like an eye for an eye
But who am I?

illusive incantations illustrate iridescent impermanence,
inspiring intellectual integrations past impartial intentions,
interdependent identities ingrained in innocence improve infrastructural spaces,
invite implausible involvement to instantly inform change.

Holding onto you
And your thoughts
Is like water dripping
Through me and my hands

And then he gave me things,
expensive things
then I told him he couldn't buy an affection
that was already dead,
much more an illusive love.

I see a lot of things people miss,
and am a lot of things;
those people don't see.
...even though sometimes
I want them to.
