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 listening ears have said that I make words my
But often I see the words as Jordan and I'm just Pipen
Cause without the right words I wouldn't be
I'd be just another mental case
Although one with and immovable pen attached to my right hand
So all the credit to the dictionary of my mind setting the tone and pace
That turns my random awkwardness into art that makes me the man
Not just another basic chick doing a simple dance
Instead performing an intricate ballet making the pages infront of me a stage
Giving me outlet for my happiness my sadness my strangeness my rage
I put it all down and let the words rhythmically skitter about
Sometime hesitant revealing doubt
That maybe they weren't perfectly placed as every step should be
But having more reality that way allowing for the imperfections that we try to hide but all can see
Or maybe that's just how it reads in my mind
Because every word is special in my eyes
Whether vulgar, intelligent, or simple
The use and placement of each is absolutely critical
And as long as they egsist they shall be my craving
But you know I'm just saying...

Placer's ReasoningIt 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 ... |
