The Corner

He's scared of that light
Burning so effervescently
For it invokes flight

Bringing his darkness to sight
He hides that jealousy
He's scared of that light

It illuminates his delights
Something he aspires to be
For it invokes flight

He's not ready to face his plight
For success, he cannot see
He's scared of that light

Its perfections causes a fright
So, he resists adamantly
For it invokes flight

Its standards are wrapped o, so tight
But if vigilant, its faults (he) sees
He's scared of that light
For it invokes flight

Centric

Extending hands to cold shoulders
Gives my fingertips a chill
Wondering why this could be
The manifestation of ill-will
Ill-will? Could it be?
Or a stroke of jealousy?
Not understanding what is the cool
Inherent inside of me
The cool, the suave
The natural ability
To create a ring of circles
That easily surrounds me
That fence guarding your heart
Is an awful sight to view
How do you stall before you start
While allowing anger to accrue?
Humble beginnings---I'm no better than you
Both working on that list named, "To-Do"
We all have faults, this much is true
But in friendship which comes, the effort is times two

Breathe's Breath

We as a society cannot cope
with the fact that living
Stereotypes are no joke
We perpetuate them daily
with a narrow scope
Eyes blinded but minds'
addicted like chasing dope
To the feens with pipe dreams
Hanging off necks like yokes
can we overcome a convoluted society
without craving ropes?
We dance for change
Sing from pain
Rap to entertain through show
(OR DO WE)
dance for change
sing for pay
rapping a minstrel show?
Ingenuity is key
to recovery
on this slippery slope
To gain traction
from satisfaction
reversing the self-hate woes
-Just broaden the scope-

After the Party

Complexity has no destiny
as its ill-will
sleeps next to me
Best for me? Please rest in peace
For no longer shall your stronghold
fear the death in me
Physically rather mentally
it's being made harder
than it has to be
Affecting me for I cannot see
I'm blinded by the shadows
of simple falsities
Not implicitly but explicitly
no one can define
who I am to be
So this misery is yet history
I'm taking complete control
now, leave me be...
