Finding Myself


Yo- Sometimes, I think I'd rather say words and face scrutiny Than concealing feelings Prudently. Im just being Me, Who are you-to say who I am? Go Ahead, give it a try, talk about the Miles I've Ran, Barefoot No shoes, I dont know YOU and you don't know ME Honestly, I hate people. Becuase Society's decieving, I Always feel pain, never learned to stop the bleeding Sinking, Im Drowing the deep ends around me Nobody to Calm me, Its hard to speak Calmly To me, its really nothing new Because Life is a puzzle, You've got to find a couple clues, I see the world's cold, Thats nothing but a view All about my Bills - Cosby - Huxtable Live my life in a circle, Not much for me to do I speak loud so now- people are lookin' at me differently I would speak quietly, but aint' nobody listening. Pain could make your mind blow up, No chemistry Mentally, I only use the words Gods lending me Im tryna use my thoughts instrumentally When people use the word fake they know better than to mention me. Everything bad- Hate it when I'm having one of THOSE DAYS. Sex Love and Drugs could really make a persons' soul fade Mind in a box, Aboslutely No Space But no one is in my circle so it shouldn't matter no way. Lowkey Insane it Is We Change to Live Adapt Can the Sky be Dark as the Sun Will shine? Of course Can Emotions be replaced or does it come with time- One in the same. Of course. Ive found myself. Which is better, Hate looking in the mirror? Or praying to be blind, That hatred of mine, is Earthquaking my mind. Lines are what I've read, but my heart is What I Speak, And I believe what I say, like a preacher tryna preach. Believe me, When I say this isn't easy, Leaving my Isolation Just to say a few words Maybe for One day, not be a LOserrr The truth hurts, the youth work, when they remain Tutored And i have no one to follow but myself, So im Grown. I find myself losing Who I am, So who I am is Unknown....

I have a complex mind. I am unable to speak surface, no matter how hard I try. These words are more than just words. These characteristics of who I am can be interpreted as pleased, but PLEASE help me as I'm venting'- , because Lord knows Ace The Poet loves undivided attention.
