Hear no evil
I'm soundproof
I block out
Everything that
Holds no value
Time is ticking away
And sand slipping away
I can not hear
What you say
But you gestures
Catches my attention
But my retention
On the subject matter
Is not on what
Happens in reality
But more in my mind
Where peace in mind
Has no time
And subliminal messages
Cannot touch me here
Where insecurities
Are abolished
And my personality
Can run free
I get to play with my
Inner child
And not be able
To feel the feedback
Of someone's word play
The world works in my favor
But one I have to wake up
My acoustics change
And I start to hear things
My voice is gone
So I have to communicate
With my hands
Because I can hear you
But i can't speak to you
My hands can try
To start a conversation
But I would look
Weird talking in a language
You wouldn't understand
So I let my swag
Start my conversation
As my hands guide
The phrases to invade
Your silence
Hoping you'll understand me
Like music
I need no words for you
To understand
My story
Well since you're used to
History
Let me drop my story
In your curriculum
Let my methods
Encourage you to
Wanna move in multiple
Directions knowing if
You stopped a compass
Couldn't tell your direction
Knowing my selection
Is not what you want
But what you need
Receive this message
From my blind side
And see the beauty
Of the pulse
Of my heart
Thumping
The beat is bumping
My meter is running on
Common time
Knowing if it ran faster
I'd master the flow
Hear the divisi
Of the instruments
That come
So beautiful
Like a conversation
I wish I could
Hug your composer
And thank the accompanist
So let's bow to the audience
Thank everyone for coming
I loved feeling your
Energy
As the you given
Me life on stage
And knowing everyday
Is half of the battle
Matter of fact
I won the war
Based off my reconstruction
But my words can hold meaning
Without seeing color
I bleed my soul
Onto a piece of paper
Composing a master piece
That sometimes
Leaves my mouth
At a lost of words
And my ears to the mercy
Of my scripture
To practice what I
Preach and what I
Choose to hear
Nothing is worse than fear
Than fear itself
Stop letting words stress you
About expressing yourself
