#sailed
I keep dreaming of the stars I'm made of of the skies I look up to of the minds I've witnessed and played with and spoken to, the ones I've touched and regretted so. Letting go of time and memories that grew with me like roots of trees ducking all travesties digging away at the soil. I pluck them and forget them, until **** spews out the gaping hole it left that night the night, when I kept sweating weeping rolling uncomfortably in bed the night I tried to keep you, keep you close, close to my heart. Until I stopped dreaming of what pained me the most; my desire to treasure you.

Ship Has Sailed.
I can not do it, I can't Did everything one is supposed too and still failed Wasn't expecting to faceplant I wanted it, prayed for it, dreamed about it and it sailed My plea rang out like a chant Gave up? I played to the buzzer, when the buzzer sounded I trailed All hope I was forced to recant Before I knew it I blew it, my loss was unveiled ©2023

my ship
For the man has been changed, dressing in a mirage and false attire building a castle in his schizophrenic mind for so long he guessed it was mist his mind limboed by their words 'we are architects of the sand filled castle' they scream they say he uses pity power, so they tell him his pseudo-castle is bliss For the man has been changed the realisation is the ****** in his heart he was right, their trust is a facade they say he uses pity power so they have to stay with him in the hard-times For a time, I too thought my bed was laid, unraveled the best wool for this bamboo sheets all for me to realise that every utterance of love that came from their lips was but for them on a pressure cooker; making me the chef though i took a journey, i started to understand they were never with me they knock me off my perception stand my candle light burning without light though now they do not understand, for when they shall, standing not shall i be for my heart has taken a bow For a time, though i have sailed through them endlessly and became an anaesthetic mind for their sake for the man has been changed though they say he uses pity power this lego victim is the solitude man and He's back.

The Lego Victim
midst the sparkling stars sailed a luminous moon chartering night seas

To the ******* who once was my bestfriend but has now forgotten about me Your tan skin and sweet smile was once my daily sunshine A reason for me to wake up in the morning and be energetic in school Your laugh pokes at my heart like a ring-less three point shot in a basketball game I watched my heart become the ball You shot through rings of fire That kept burning and burning But I played your game Like you played me Because you were once my best friend But now you’ve forgotten me You were once my daily sunshine And now my daily hell. I used to open Facebook and see a message notification Your name in bold letters with a simple "Yo" And a smile emoji And sometimes you'll tell me "Notice meeeee" With five Es in the me Now I open Facebook and see no message notification Your name in light letters with a seenzoned "Yo" And a smile emoji I'll archive our thread And I'll try to forget about you But when you go online I always tend to notice you I see your name on the active list And see your posts as you tag them And not me. You used to send me random lyrics And made me listen to random music You used to tell me "You can count on me like one, two, three I'll be there" But when I needed you I did count on you like four, three, two But you did not come You were not there I did not even see your shadow when I asked for help I never saw you by the audience during my performances I've stopped watching your basketball games Because I am done watching you Shoot my heart through rings of fire Watching it break on the same court where you taught me to play I've stopped messaging you on Facebook Because I am clearly just another message you have already read And I was just another friend You have already forgotten. 19:09 - 19:28 7 April 2017
