This Time

Watch as the roof above me catches fire As they spark off, constantly calling me a liar Saying I should go on and retire before I expire But I sire the beat until it grows old and tired Those that lose often choosing not to admire Use to this environment; escaping from the mire Through this pain, I obtain what I desire So be a fool and give me more fuel for my pyre Back in the day I was DRAC, but not a vampire Use to be paid by the call like an umpire Aiming for the skies and steady rising higher Correctly erecting the New Roman empire I'm a beast, not a bird; that's a fighter not flyer Holding ground; don't back down when things get dire Keep a tight grip on my game like a pair of pliers Bump your lips, if you want to see me lose my ire because This mind's designed to see the signs That this time is mine and I will shine This mind's designed to see the signs That this time is mine and I will shine Been grinding so long, I've engraved the Earth Enough heat and friction to ignite bare hearths Gifted and cursed since the day of birth Well versed in adversity, earning my worth Speak to me with respect, I am no wet nurse Keep yourself in check or see the back of a hearse This cheeky tongue is terse, toward those curs Who act like jerks; to who showing respect never occurs Forget slurs; leave dissing for amateurs Passing on pieces of me as I traverse A verse that crosses the linguistics universe My light speeds until vision blurs Seeing mass get faster, until energy spurs Self through time; hoping past wisdom transfers Reaching through teachings about when it's okay to burst And that sometimes the way ahead is in reverse 'cause This mind's designed to see the signs That this time is mine and I will shine This mind's designed to see the signs That this time is mine and I will shine Not one for obligation; it only breeds bitter resentment And through exasperation, you can find true fulfillment As for expectation; don't let your strong will be spent On another's station. Make it about your milled mint Forget what hesitation is and feeling concealment Don't bother with examination of what another's will meant Government bastardizations are brazen; where have the real went? Biased media information, wanting to completely steal sense Still tense. Contemplation on why blood is spilled on cement By occupations that are supposed to protect from ill torments Forming reservations. Thoughts more rapid than killer torrents When our final destination is determined by willful abhorrence And their explanations could easily be billed as ignorance Steady evacuation of knowledge from college; frills absorbent More pills for gratification because we realize our core's bent While our situation grows rotten; lows enjoyed to ignore scent but This mind's designed to see the signs That this time is mine and I will shine This mind's designed to see the signs That this time is mine and I will shine

On My Mind

You now invade my thoughts often Making this hardened heart soften Day dreams of you are what I am off in Can picture you with me until I'm in a coffin I promise nothing but being yours Only of that can I be absolutely sure I struggle with darkness because I'm not pure But you act as a balm, providing the calm cure When you appear my spirit magically lifts Even in moments of feeling lost and adrift When all I see is negative, you help make my sight shift Every moment with you feels like a gift I think a lot of ways to make you smile Something you can wear that can't go out of style With you willing to face any and every trial And will stride by your side, through the worst miles I will be your sun and always rise Be the one to wipe tears from your eyes When you feel under I will come to your cries And use this tongue to tell you comforting lies Yes, for your heart I am aiming Use thoughts of you for poetic paintings This restless soul is yours for claiming Be the friend you are, no need for changing I can listen to you or take actions Together stand as our own faction If you lose your grip I'll be your traction To mind, heart, and soul, total attraction I can disagree and let you be yourself Will hold your hand even when all is well Your every secret you do not have to tell Not afraid to walk with you through your hell Provide ways when none seem to be left Give you my oxygen when you run out of breath Guard your heart after taking it in theft Help you swim in grim waters when out of your depth I will be your sun and always rise Be the one to wipe tears from your eyes When you feel under I will come to your cries And use this tongue to tell you comforting lies So, when your vision gets blurry And life feels far too hurried You don't need to worry

So, when nightmares come alive I'll help you to survive Together we'll weather and thrive

Some way we'll make it through And keep getting better too Do whatever we need to do

May get afraid but won't paralyze No matter a problem's size And then create our own paradise I will be your sun and always rise Be the one to wipe tears from your eyes When you feel under I will come to your cries And use this tongue to tell you comforting lies I will be your sun and always rise Be the one to wipe tears from your eyes When you feel under I will come to your cries And use this tongue to tell you comforting lies ...you now invade my thoughts often.

Toppling Giants at Full Throttle

I'm staring at Goliath with my sling steady. They're glaring holes but bet you this King's ready. I'm daring their move. I'm about to string heavy hits. Swear that soon the tune I sing will be deadly. Artist: Wordsmith Alchemist Roman aka Artist X (Justin Roman Cain) A precursor to the next piece I wrote.

Silver Screen Lining

Dad had a lot of anger issues In fairness, for really good reasons Mom was always in need of tissues No matter the actual season Dad apparently got tired of hearing How she felt depressed and alone So he fled and mom was left tearing Then eventually went off in her zone (Dad paid child support and was around on his own accord.  Makes everything better. I was lucky?) Mom wasn't mentally there Drinking away her cares Missing the signs of troubled times "How was your day Roman?" Fine. Visit dad, reminded of bad I did wrong, punishments had More work to be done, love you son Scheduled in time or have none (Every other weekend meeting up so we could see him and be loved on so abruptly.) Had to watch younger brother If he got in trouble I had double He liked to mess with others Bursting my bubble with well-aimed rubble To fight back was to incite flames Framed as culprit for starting all I am older, and should know better, right? Trained to take shit and always feel small (Abuse taught me I am worthless, insignificant, and thought I had to be some form of ugly) Remember a moment where I was accused Of sneaking out, told pops his girlfriend was wrong Was forced against a wall, his hands like a noose In my own home felt as if I didn't belong Didn't know it then but the abuse gave me the shoes To tread through blues and get along Made me strong, to never settle with excuses They're stupid.  And now in music, I use it in song (The bad yesteryears may fester tears and cause pestering fears, but it made me lovely)

Incandescence

O' Angel Kneeling within presence To be seen Praying to have the strength Found in every action O' Angel Standing in this shine To be noticed Praying to have the grace Heard in each laugh O' Angel Holding this stylus To be read by Praying to have this muse Divine inspiration O' Angel Laying down at side To be called upon Praying these wings will work To aid the same in return Series: Unspoken Vows Artist: Wordsmith Alchemist Roman aka Artist X (Justin Roman Cain)

Way-Back Car-Tune

Here’s another machine to break time’s flow Question is, where are we going to go? (Lots of destinations to pick from) All of which can depict how I came undone How about we take a tour of 4th grade And some fat kid that wanted me in an early grave Telling me, he could sit on me and squash me Pushed me on my ass quick then mocked me (I was short and thin, easy target for the bully market) I was picked on for being nice and smart Even though English and Speech were hard Had a second-grade reading level then (Also, didn’t learn to tie my shoes until half that year was through) How I made it into Gifted and Talented classes When my spelling brain was slower than molasses Has me confused as can be, no one tried to understand me (Other boys thought it was funny I hung with nothing but girls) I remember being punched in the gut strong enough to hurl And that time, it was because I was defending a chick getting messed with Like, you want to test me fine.  (Guess at least I’ve always had a spine) At the best of times, I was just left alone To be in my early creative zone Playing imaginary games that honed This unstoppable jotting that’s blown Corporeal bodies to the bone (Been a long road) Walking barefoot on a path jagged and rocky So just know, not letting nobody stop me Even if I’m consumed by gloom and doom (Got me?) And my defective speech? Corrected by year end’s leave And reached a 6th grade level for reading Beating the devils within this skin So, when people tell you to give in That then is the time to be living (This is where my expression comes from) Because of that mental and soul oppression Gave me the lessons needed to beat my depression Along with the stressing on who’s attacking next Plan hexes in advance to wreck necks at a glance (So, who’s ready to dance?) Think it’s time though to squirm in with Mr. Peabody and Sherman And make our Way-Back (Been looking for an excuse to say that) Series: In-Lighting-Meant (Enlightenment) Artist: Wordsmith Alchemist Roman aka Artist X (Justin Roman Cain)

The DNA of Heroes

Hate and I use to consolidate on fate Sedating self physically and mentally Wanting to escape life. Uncomfortable in wait Both drank and smoked myself in weight (Recalling times I failed to do better, ignoring how I could do so currently) Getting ahead of the curve Urgently searching for cures before problems become emergencies Still, remember not voicing a word for Andrea in grade 6 Promised not to say anything about foster father's forced pricks (I was dating her, she was glad to have someone to kiss her by choice) Since then, I have spent a lot of time being the down trodden's voice Not ignoring unpleasant noise Creating clever solutions and ploys  To deal with those who treat humans as toys (It's not my job or responsibility. But I know the feeling of being destroyed) Touchy subject? Yeah. Hope you cannot shrug it off Still wishing young me would of went and drug him off Only repentance I can make is standing for another's sake So I break the brakes of all I can take (Even when exhausted and feeling lost, I listen and try to help) See, I must admit, I hate revenge.  But I love it when I can avenge.  Willing to be damned and come unhinged  Just to send those to Hell who deserve more than a singe (I suffer anyways. So eternal blaze doesn't make me cringe) So to those reading. Right the wrongs done to you. Be the angel you needed, and guiding light through Those darkest times, or facing the heartless mind's who, Tried to pick apart your spine. You'll be helping self and the world too.

Alchemical Hacks

Throw away the chains and pains that bind And leave behind the flames of past times Undermine the lines drawn in the sand Ignite and shine to remove darkness from the land The plan may seem rather elementary But the sources of life currently stand bent to me Needing a lift, to help wisely shift eyes Leaving a gift to sift through publicized lies Our value is to be determined from within We are not vermin, and flesh is not built to sin Reeling in thoughts of being lost to chaos Prompt hacking of DOS, without needing to pause Rewriting the code, providing the outlook and frequency Overlooked, changing the pitch and scenery What it means to me, is seeing self-full of greenery Realizing reality shapes to what we make it seem to be Series: In-Lighting-Meant (Enlightenment) Artist: Wordsmith Alchemist Roman aka Artist X (Justin Roman Cain)
