The War

Patience frazzlin from the blatant mashin
On my buttons, til they get content, n jus stay jammed in
Muting any sound judgement, makin my reactions automatic
N turnin me into a walkin cannon
Fuse ablaze, aim rearranging speedily
Between the innocent n the guilty, there's no distinguishing
So I target the ground, hoping to keep this clean
For this planet is a formula wit enough malice
N its not my job to do the deed of addin
Tho the thought is attractive, I'm too distracted
By the sadness packed in my hollow tipped desires
Sharing the chamber wit my insight; I don't kno which will fire
Wisdom or censure; outnumbered is the former
My mind's winning this contest, but my heart's gaining on it
Cyclonic down its path to wake up my conscience
N spear through my madness in time to disarm it but--
(POW)

comedian

One day, from my castle's catwalk
Wit the city in my front lawn, the ocean in my backyard
Under unborn skies full of nostalgic stars
I'm gonna look back on these days, and laugh hard
At the b.s. sandwiched between the swipes of my time card;
The foolish thought of my career bein in this pipe yard;
The geniuses who disregard my intelligence--
Management, wanton women, the lesser men
The stepfather who did a poor job of steppin in;
All the apprehensive stares get a chuckle, too;
The angry words I swallowed-- they were tough to chew;
How I made it through the chaos to become a productive dude;
Without much ado, today will be tomorrow's punch line
Puncuating the foul sentence of woe that was life
Wit an accent so heavy in the hands of my grave ways
That it bends a smile out of my usually straight face.

dashed.

Fascinated, fixed on the glimmer
I was hoping the reflecting lights would form whispers
That would tell me wat it is Im tryin to figure
Not the shattered truth, but somethin upliftin
The debris covered an impressive distance
Far beyond any telescope's vision
And there I stood, smack dead in the center
Tasting every prayer I made in the lifeless air
That fled before me and the failure I exhaled
Paintin my ruins wit dim, coarse strokes
Awakening my sacrifices, shining through in morse code
Is this a blessing I'm readin in the picture before me
The answer to why my dream didn't finish its forming
Or details on the next direction I should go in?
This turmoil got me on my knees-- damn I put my life in this
Now I got a mess to clean-- do I trash it or recycle it?

The Entry

I've been writing, n I'm at my 1000th page
Because defining u takes as much time as it does space
There's jus not enough words or ways
For me to say not jus wat u mean
But how much-- you're so many things
In the hand of cards life dealt me, you're the queen
The thorn-less rose in the garden of love I walked through
Youre the soft touch my sore mind, body, n soul approves
You're the explorer that beat the task of searchin me
My audience when I feel the urge to sing
Even though I can't, you're my number one fan
Like you're my first choice every time I wanna slow dance
You're the eighth day of my week, a time for romance
That ends wit me holdin you like this paper holds my words
All through the nite, til the page is ready to turn
And bring a new day, a new page to think wit
Defining u is hard, and I don't think I'll ever complete it
Because wit every passin second, wat u mean to me increases.

Redefined

Loyalty. My lifestyle. My habit.
Not a choice for me, it's more automatic
Many throw hints but I never really catch them
All the thoughts of u, the memories we made, keep me distracted
Open. Nothing can stop this emotion's flowin
No person can block it, no flaw can slow it
Thats why we can talk about everything between the floor of the ocean
Around the fire our souls glow with to the stars the sky's holdin
Valiant. Theres no greater reason for battlin
My priorities shift because i have to win
Pride leaves the list, n ur well being moves up, past my life
Because I'm all for sacrifice
Endless. It's sewed into my pulse, I'm feelin it
That beat was almost nonexistent til u started remixin it
Something symphonic, tho I can't always make sense of it
The only way this track will change is if death switches it

Defining

L is for lonely
A soul searching for a sense of belonging
Wanting, by definition, to cancel itself out
Hoping out won't forever be without
The rest
O is for the obvious at it's sentimental best
A quest that ended way before it began
When for the first time 2 hearts held hands
V... V of for valid
Certainty, assurance and truth were checked on the ballad
When the body voted to understand
The auora, the miracle, under phenomenon that was happenin
E is for the emotion
Exponentially growing from the depths of my soul
Into a rose
The other half will forever hold

ring the bell

I banged on the dents from the inside out wit fists full of pride
For the bruises, forgiveness of self was applied
When I took a break between the bells to make sure I was revived
Cuz I been waitin in my corner for the next round, n its time
The fight's never been fair, exactly wat I had expected
But there are a few jabs I had no business acceptin
Uppercuts that should've never connected
N hooks that brought a pop that was beyond my perception
Few were deserved, some came while I was protectin
Many landed jus because I was present
I asked for many methods, used all except my own
Now I got this uninvited restlessness in my bones
And this logic that's huntin for a cure for this ill temper
A conscience nearly blind to the sympathy that flickers
In a darkness that seems to have no endin
And, in the center of it all, a redeemed heart shining wit a peerless crimson
