This piece’s going for an extra minute
I’m not trying to make it look pretty
Just to get the thoughts out
Coloring this canvas
Riding the waves to the
Bum bum bam bum bum bum bam
Piano echoing, beat slapping
Disgust showing on my face
Due to the foulness of this song
And by that foulness
Like the stinkiness of blue cheese
It’s good
“Don’t Come Out the House” – 21 Savage
The new trend for only me
Is self discovery
Finding the light amidst the smoke
Like a wise guy says
“They can’t fuck with the light”
Loving myself for my tendencies
And finding the good breaking them
What feels good maintains
I ain’t no word warrior
More like a guy rocket launcher
Blasting these words straight into your face
This girl’s been on my mind
Upon regaining consciousness, she’s the first thing
Among others
But to express that is the difficulty
And to take a chance on something
If anything, my mind is my greatest enemy
Self-doubt and fixation on everything besides NOW
Consume my being bit by bit
And always, the monkey monkeys around
Ohh ee oh ahhh!!!!
Pulling me to whatever is there
My inner being is conflicted
My morals upright but unwilling to love myself
Perhaps only a phase passing through
But really rooted in the deep
All that exists is now
My mind analyzing what happened 10 minutes ago
Or what happened earlier in the day
In this galaxy with all the cosmos and magical forces
All compounds into my being here
