Around The Drain
Life is meticulous.
it lingers on, trapped
in between the cracks
of "destiny", and "maybe".
and everything is shady
or burning in the blaze of
ray beams ...
and right now its flaming.
I'm not sure you can save me.
I pray to the void daily,
and raise my hands like babies.
but today I'm going out
in a blaze of bravery.
The idea is savory
In fact, the notion rages in me
to face this world with a bold faced lie
and say that I am fine.
And to tell the people that we are all going to be alight ...
but I am stationary.
maybe I am still chained to slavery ...
It makes me play the game responsibly
and for some reason
inconspicuously insanely.
Dangling from the puppet strings
of corporate sale schemes.
with bosses and workers who look the same.
And all of them debating racism that doesn't exist.
There are no races, in fact ...
I don't see any body winning.
Dear world:
Life is very long.
and if the sun engulfs us tonight,
please know that I loved you.
you didn't ask to be born,
and now you all have to die.
maybe that is the point.
I will see you all again.
I may be leaving,
but I am not running away.
The muzzle flash to my head feels
like a gentle kiss to bed.
And I am not really bleeding.
I'm just teaching the white
fabric all the books that I red.
Life is very short.
We are born, we breath, we die.
But very few of us live.
And if our bones break,
if our skin is marred
if our hearts are burned and scarred
we did it.
we lived.
I promise you,
if you learn to shed tears
you will laugh between them.
On your march to victory,
you will only reach your detonation
if you fall on the way.
Because you make it when you stand up.
I will be there.
I'll be screaming with joy
when you join me in glory.
