I cried today, and I'll probably cry tomorrow

Without fear

To find freedom

To embrace the peace within

Without looking over my shoulders

Does this place exist

Where do I begin

Too far away I couldn’t manage

Including a third person who lives in your village

Absorbed in your sense of security

Leaving me with a sunburnt heart while you explore infinity

You joke about putting me on a timeline

While you’re with him, you’ve left me under fire

In another world, your love is too distant

And I’m left alone and now all I can do is switch hands

Submerged in this heated love fest

Sunburnt heart what’d you expect

Leave me be to drown in my bad decision

I’m staying in the kitchen, to make ashes out of this one

While you choose, I never knew I was an option

This much is true, I’m reduced to another broken pistol

Sunburnt Heart

Quarrels

Tired quarrels taint my soul

Deepen in melancholy this age-old

Too late before you realize no escape

Life at risk, drama infiltrate

Point out the relevance for your tweet

And justify my action if I said that about him, her and she

Today, tomorrow and yesterday are all the same

I’d ask a question if I didn't fear being pushed away

Now to the limit, I had many thoughts of doing things

But I held back to avoid writing from within

Still angry, my soul even more damage

Tired quarrels, the pain make life hard to manage

Need For Change

I need change despite the title

Those were done for you to feel a sense of belonging

I felt stagnant it's the same move I'm constant

I need space regardless of you taking off

The insight you provided was genius

I wasn't quite ready for your love unconditional

Things were too unusual

Too spaced out, the pressure was on me to care

I understood clearly your demands

In that first conversation, we were one with the land

Down and out, you smiled, and I was a flirt

Down to earth we both only wanted the moment

So far, love has missed the signs

As you sigh the warning without words in your eyes

Too much at stake, you left it up to my choice

I was afraid and decided danger was why we’d stayed

As it turns out look at you in disbelief

Blaming me for staying though I wouldn't have let you leave

I'll accept the claim; I won't be mistaken for a saint

Too much love in the room, why are you in pain

This may not be what we wanted, but it was our wish

It was without words, a message of exchanging gift

The position you took left me vulnerable

I still need change, because the changes made you miserable

Fraction of my Path

I came rugged I came from hardship

Old cars and dirty floors were places I've slept

I've identified that struggle as coming from something

Hard work through depression I feel so broken

A lot of work for growth I may never know the in thing

Unclear about the worth of my manhood I’m only thin skin

Might not be hip hop and not into flashy

If I happen to do it like another, it's coincidental and never a copy

Most of my good thoughts never get Inked.

I say them out loud looking in the mirror and declare myself great.

No paper

No app

No memory

Of the

Garbage I

Had on
