When It started

Placer's Reasoning

It comes a tim e that things must change

So, I've gotta take the time to catch the next train

Take me away to the place in my mind where everything's care free

And in real life put a Placer there for me

Just somebody to keep up appearences

Cause nobody's hearing this

The song of my heart that keeps my feets' pace

Still leaving you with the Placer's stone face

Retreating to the awesomeness of my own mind

But don't fear I'll be back in due time

I'll reconviene and bring myself back to the real world

In a state where my mind can safely be uncurled

Revieled for all those interested and put on display

And I don't care how it's precieved or taken; come what may

Say about it what you want cause any publicity is good publicity

But I know ya'll not really feelin' me

Cause not a soul h...

When It started

I've grown a black hole in the middle of me

Not sure how far it goes cause it's too dark to see

It started years ago with the realization of impending loss

At first it was small barely worth a scoff

So I tried to cover it with stuff

Parties, people, liquor somehow it wasn't enough

The black hole got bigger blacker and deeper

So I tried to fill it

Music, work, love nothing worked it remained a bottomless pit

Then there was the day I lost all feeling

Damn near consumed in entirety by this new inner place

Unrecognizable to myself I began to pray

And in that same day I began healing

No where near the whole person I should be

But no longer in fear of being consumed by this emptiness inside of me

I smile, sing, and praise on the edges of it's abyss

Knowing one day I'll have conquered this

Can I just say

 Can I just say that I write like a maniac
That I'm addicted to the pen like it's crack
Words and witty phrases fill my head on an everyday basis
Even when I walk around I tend to see them scribbled on peoples faces
So if you catch me staring it's not to be rude
Or even that I'm stuck lookin' at you
But rather that I'm reading the words off your face for a project that needs completing
And I see them on walls so I tend to stare off even when I'm eating
Everything I do I narrate like I'm in a book
So I speak aloud a lot while moving on foot
It helps to keep me focused on my talents
Eventhough my gift can seem like a curse making people think I'm off balance
To be honest I kinda have to be, to write about something plucked out of thin air
Something that I mold and shape untill it's ready to share

To shout from the roof tops for all the ears waiting to listen
And lis...
