Idk how to write.


Yeah,

I've been playing the beat on repeat

Words stuck at the back of my mind

now they poking through my skin

clouding my vision-that's a cataract

rising from my gut and

i cough till i spit- that's an attack

blood spills, the colors be red blue and green

now that's a vivrant thing

now i'm choking on meaning

so in goes Qtip and out comes 

lines in rhymes and silly words

now the emotions are in motion

i swear there's a witch inside of me

brewing my thoughts like a potion

oh wait- she's my ex

how she climbed in that's a mystery

bullet wounds, holes in my lung

the air i breathe flows through two ends

unfiltered ideations, needing no explanation

i gulp it in and shit it out or spit it out

what's the difference?
