Rollercoasters; rolling coasts across an emotional spectrum; coast to coast the backside of a speck— :a kick to the ****** to wreck them into perspective. Message of advice? I text them— but these notes note me more than they help them; self-addressed envelopes, stamped with things I never said out loud. Maybe I’m just a noun— or a verb mid-becoming, with too many adds before I add up, add-ons— advertised into an adverb, modified by everything that modifies me. Adding verbs to sentences, trying to sentence a word from the Word; naming meaning like I own it… like language won’t one day outgrow me. Faith-full. Hope-full. Grace-full— until I lessen them… faith-less, hope-less, grace-less— suffix stripped, self-slipped. Up and down this rollercoaster— no safety bar for the soul; just loops of who I was trying not to throw up who I am.

You must be drunk or high If you think that you're the guy Who's going to change this world With a poetry supply. So why even try? A couple of sly rhymes and a clever word scheme won't mean a thing when you die. So, throw that to the side and allow me to guide you. Back to the carousel, Go ahead, take a ride. Those feelings will subside Once I've got you back inside. You might as well have fun 'cause you can run, but you can't hide. There's not a single space Where I can't find your face And when you try to elevate, I'll put you right back in your place So don't make the mistake Of trying to take a leap of faith Cause we'll be here again But, by then, it's too late You'll wind up a disgrace And make your poor mom sob. You'll lose that one shot at that cozy office job. You'll still feel alone, and you'll still feel worthless And all this disturbance because you think you have a purpose? All this to be a servant for people who don't want service? You must be **** determined to make a fool of yourself, but don't worry It's all cool; that's why I'm here to help So, just follow my directions and stay the planned route 'cause you'll get chopped down If you try to stand out, and your words don't matter So just shut your **** mouth! ...Listen to my voice, and this will all pan out. C'mon, have I ever let you down? You know who I am. I am doubt.

You know who I am
KUMOMI Laying here under this sapphire sheet of dreams, No limits No rules Nobody else I dive into this non-aquatic azure sea of thoughts, No oxygen No wetsuit Nothing but faith Psyche an oracle arena-in an undeniable Golden state, No fear No higher Novacane Soul searching for a sole purpose within, No answers No clarity Nostalgic Awoken with a cleansed perspective, No questions No notions Nourished.
