ounno

see no evil
hear no evil
I'm still speakin' evil

I wake up some mornings
wondering why I had to sleep
why I have to breathe
where is this
what am I here to see
who am I supposed to be
who are you to me
what am I
it's why I write
but all I find
are broken puzzle pieces
and I lose my mind
between these lines

I'm stuck inside
this black expanse
its not that bad
its not like
any natural disaster had a plan
it just kept happening

let's just say

I'm better with my words
than I am with my actions

currency is a burden

please acknowledge
that the worth in me
is no where near the worth in you
I wish I was perfect too

sometimes I feel like I'm
drowning in a raindrop
while you weather every storm

sometimes I know that
I'm yelling for no reason
while you quietly love me through this rainy season

everyday I think about you
while you are probably
contemplating all the pain
maybe it's training for the day
we finally find the light
and exclaim our love!
for the plight
and for all those that might
need another fight
to align their sights

stones in a row

swing in
breath out
frequence
leap bounce
we wish
we pout
the waves
don't sound
they just play
above our ground
where we lay
and we drown
in the silence
that is so loud
a quiet driving
through our clouds
no rainy day
just puffs of doubt
patching the blue
with empty shouts

the sky is dry
my eyes can't lie
they try and try
but like water in the cycle
the truth will come around
gas or solid
its alternating vibrations

lying is honestly
the most constant thing
its obviously my promises
I can't keep them for longer than the taste
on my tongue
I'm a waste of lungs
filled with my hollow love
as if it could hold space
just cover up the nothing
with a little crazy
diddy I've written
in ribbons
along the city I call my bones
they don't know this
I'm too focused on supernovas
and my next poem
to let go of this coma
I've been writhing in
just lying here
finding my truth

finding my own sequence
in which to put my secrets
riding my own wave through this web of light and darkness
writing my lies upon this parchment
lighting my candle to fight the hardships
lying about anything that might come my way
too nervous of what the truth is
to ever let it out

selective memory

I never meant to let
this moment gather
so much momentum
now my tummy's bubblin'
diet coke and menthos
blastin' off at the mention
of our connection
our minds were made to mesh
you fill up my cup I
drink your suggestion
never question just requestin'
that you make an extension
on the rent for your heart
I might be a little late with my payment

samuel something

I don't know gravity on the ground
as well as a man falling through the sky
I don't know the night as well as a cat on the hunt
we don't know the other perspective
cuz we too busy with our own intentions
blinded by the latest invention
anything to stall the insurrection
we would be great if we could stick to a direction
instead we fester in the messes the Lord blessed us with
sick we heal you
poor we pay you
rich we hate you
ugly we fix you
beautiful we fixate
fuck this I want to be a disgrace
coming in last place in this human race
your starting line keeps cutting me out
'til you finish circling the problems
I'll be skipping the beat
tryin to acapela the hell out of this life
leaving behind all my battle cries
searching for a heaven that's already found me
