Honey suckle sweet sky            
Sun rays blend with your ocean blue
Memories & thoughts begin to suffocate me
Lyrics & beats drown in my ears
As I try and hold back all these tears
My favorite line plays in my head
“When he put that bottle down, girl that man's amazing”
Blackouts and lack of control
**** bitter world, anything but social justice
Yet, I majored in humanity
Due to my insanity
What I’d give to take back the time
To say goodbye
A little closure…**** what a time to die
Scar tissue accumulates on my battered heart
As I watch you fall beneath the earth
I buried you and with it my faith
Chaos & fuked up **** everywhere I turn
P.O.C.’s working hard, holding on to that false dream
To be judged by character, not by color
Jr. was a true ideal
But still, millions searching for some spare to buy their next meal
I’m privileged with books and mentors
Doesn’t mean the years of pain and sadness ceased
Majored in humanity to find salvation
Trying to break free from my personal mummification
Inexplicable moments and connections
Difficulty letting go of these several relations
Too overwhelmed, I can’t even fuken finish expressing emotions

I feel all over this in darknesss

excessive spangkst
that i drangst

an opening
to celebrate

bottled lines

empirical fines

and the suddden urge to apologize
for this lark
in lines

I have no idea
no fuken idea
not a clue
do you

I hunch
and shudder
is this what is
is this true

this thing this fling
winging ing
really really
tiresomesly

'cept when 'snot
when it's  'n
electric sizzle
fryn' your socks

ya mostly needs
other *******
to really f-ully
find entrenchment
