I have never met a more complacent lot, Than those of my compatriots; Never have citizens been more obedient, Than those of my immediates. Forget spilled tea, today it's Watered down coffee. Biscuits cut with sawdust Out from smaller & smaller molds, Eating whatever fed us. Cause we all know hunger Believing any narrative pushed so long as it's prevailing; The populace obsessed with popularity. It's a headache & a headrush in the states, Cool if you make the breaks But that's like hitting the ******* lottery. You gotta ask, what gives? What does it take To get a fair chance to stake a claim In a country full of people who don't give a **** What sense does it even make To try, When no one in charge does? For my own lot, & life - Whether tis here or afar

Coercive Acts
I'm so sick of people pretending they want to stay in my life when they really don't. So if you don't want to treat me well, then you can just leave —because I'd much rather have a few true friends than a bunch of fake ones.

The few true ones
A hitchhiker On the interstate of love. It seems, I am always hanging my thumb out Searching for something real. Anything real. In what seems to me, A very sad and ingenuine world. Just as I thought I'd found meaning. And for those I have loved, Those I have left, or have gone from me Was it your or I? The want to be free.

There's a reason To everything I do. Whether it be Not smiling at you Distancing myself from you or Not liking you... There's a reason. I'm not your first priority. Not even when I'm the Only person You need to focus on. I'm not your first priority When no one else is around And I never will be. So don't pretend like I am. Don't lie to my face. Don't think everyone will like you Just because you like to show them Your enthusiasm As if you're their Sun. **** off. Be honest with me Be truthful And work from there. I tried to do that with you but... I'm not your first priority
