Where Do Your Demons Reside?
I don’t want to wallow in the depths of heartbreak
3 years of failing - over something that really could all be so simple
But the human brain and the emotions that lay there
Are not simple
A complex network of neurons firing
Towards different receptors
And sometimes the web gets tangled - when an unforeseen force makes its way in
This is why my heart was caged, bricked, behind glass doors and gold chains
At least 17 layers of protection with the outer wall being a glass dome
Why the fuck would I let you in when you had no intention of appraising my value
You barely glanced at the work on my walls - you just wanted to get in
To the warm place within
But you are a fuckin cold front disguised as a perfect Cali beach day
Did you not think my alarms would trigger and security would escort you out?
Did you really think you could experience my peace when you gave me chaos?
A mirror reflects, though within a shape
A mirror transports, through the inner knowing
What have you figured out
Where do your demons now reside
Do you think this is now alright
?

So many levels of pain to fight
If one truly wants to make it out alive
What good are matters of the heart?
What trials must we really endure to prove our worth?
Our devotion? Our integrity?
The pain of seeing the one your heart aches for with another
Due to unforeseen circumstances
No one really has the rule book
We try and put our best foot forward,
At least the ones who are true
Other will scheme and plot behind your back
To take the things and people that you value
So you are forced - to fight if its true
Or give in if you have no means to make do
But the ones who truly suffer most
See everything and are powerless
Because someone or something even more powerful
Tells you that you can not be happy with whom you choose
Because OF UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES
PEOPLE BELITTLE YOU
AS IF THEY KNOW THE WOES OF YOUR BEATING HEART
AND THEY TRY YOU AS IF TIRED IS NOT SOMETHING YOU ALSO FEEL
AND THEY TRY TO TRANSMUTE YOUR LOVE INTO HATE
HATE
HATE
HATE
B HATE
‘ HATE
Afraid to Be so I Am
Always fuckin forced
Because I can’t make the hard decision for myself.
Always a fuckin idiot who moves too impulsively when it comes to love
Always wondering how Long someone will stay
Then the endings are arduous
And both parties are unhappy
Focusing on me has never really been a thing
Because there are years and years and years of shit
I know it isn’t pretty and I do the best I can to keep it in
Yet, here they all are.
Staring me in my fuckin face
Calling me their comfortable names
A disgrace, a disappointment, a fool
A common idiot
All because im afraid of myself.
The shit im capable of is absolutely magnificent
But I hate ordeals -
Im afraid to be worthy ?
our country is killing us
our country is killing us
Not our city.
Not our state.
Our mother fucking country bitch.
And I sit here plagued and outraged at having to even be formulating this piece here
Out of all the things in this wretched world, RACISM is what we Black People have to face EVERY DAY.
It’s really sad you know.
To live somewhere where people look at you as if you’re really not good enough for the bare minimum that you have.
Because you always want to obtain more.
You don’t just sit on stoops enjoying the summer breeze with a summer sleaze
You go get that damn education that they say is so worth it.
That you’re worth even more with it.
But alas, the pretty shit should only be reserved to them.
They rule
Staging deaths is not what this country was based upon.
Mexico and canada
As above, so below
