You narrowed your mind
And it’s such a shame;
The wasted potential,
The weight of the blame.
It lies heavy on your shoulders,
On your mind, your heart.
It consumes your soul,
A Need to Vent
By Elicia A Haney
Anger, pain, emotions that boil inside.
Fear, guilt, an animalistic need to hide.
No one to hear her shout,
Have you ever heard of Nikola Tesla
His brain was super large
But, when your that smart
You threaten those in charge
He had many inventions
That would make your mind bend
Burning Pages
Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust,
It Stands Tall, until it falls down.
Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust,
Dreams Gone, Tears Fall.
Take it all, you take it all
From me.
Tick Tock... off goes my clock
Wake up, send a text....want to get a bagel?
Tick, tock...text me back already,
Yes, but your're paying.
My father was a terrorist.
He did not wear a turban,
nor did he worship Allah,
nor was his skin brown like the sun kissed sands of Arabia.
My face, distorted in the sun
under my right eye a deep scar remembers
the pain of abuse, and the tears he has left me inside
I could not cry under this mask, yet I find another route
struggling with souls and flesh keep fuckin tussling ruckus creeps while my peers weep over dead meat someone call nine one one or the elite can't take pressure its gettin to me I am going bazurk shouldn't never left my Band dam I miss my sand
I miss the first times when you were mine and I was yours,
When you treated me like a queen and shielded me from harm,
But was all that just a game?
A way for me to trust you so that manipulation would be easy?
When I have nothing else, and when my life is out of order
I hold on fiercely to a simple notion: that I am, and always will be
A swirling storm, a blizzard in the heat of summer, of emotion
