Just Words


These are just words Its simply lines I'm putting together words And keeping on time But sometimes things change. And twists your whole life around. One eighty. But maybe Someday I'll conquer hope. And step on its chest and make it choke. Its the little reminder of what could or couldn't be Every thing you dreamed of. One eighty. It all suddenly changes and hope has you lost. Sorry we were only suppose to look on the bright side but now all I see is What could have been What I made myself believe What gave me my strength Just tore out my soul. Soul are you there can you hear me right now? Soul, you're a lousy friend. I've begin. I'm living. And I'll end. Soul, do you stay with me Can I depend On you. Just you. Stay with me till the end. Honestly I've hid it all and blurred it Out with the maids in my mind. But one thing won't change- I'm not leaving you behind. Punchline there it was watch it go as I add on my feelings and waste up Your time. Let's not forget that one voice that Doesn't make a sound. It just plays in your thoughts and Scolds and stalks and blocks Any thing that could be considered A productive thought. Peace. Give it up truth isn't blind. Quit hitting your own back There's no mercy in mankind. Peace its the hardest thing to create. Yet the big man was suppose to make It a while ago. Try 2000 years. Get the stupid out of your ears. We're alone and I'm okay. You tell yourself that there's another way. Sure flies run into the light and Buzz. Zap. Fried. Evolution is here to get rid of the ignorant guy. Nope wait that won't work we've Created a culture. That ideals superficial people, who eat the killed. vulture. Yes we're all alone. Together forever alone. Tell your dead dog- call it's cellphone. I'm proud to say I can get in a car and drive down the street to have my whole body beat Into a bloody pulp Because texting "LOL" Was more important than my life. We're alone together. Together in strife. We're so fucking ignorant That we can't trust eachother. But what's the difference between Trust and truth. Two letters I say. And you say "proof" Books don't teach you things they simply hold words. Words that fit together and hold someone's hurt. Make your words fit like a puzzle and keep them as thick as a damn. Make them hold your thoughts. They're the pearl in the clam. Its the one thing anyone can make But they do spread hate And they do create And they do intimidate And they will grow stronger And they will evolve longer And I will progress I've been supressed. God, I've been supressed. Seven years of being so called blessed That mute voice that's stuck inside my thoughts Tells me over and over that I'm not Going to fit in I'm not Going to relate. I'll be the outcast. The one that we hate. Don't treat me like shit. Don't ever see me that way. I've got drive and respect I'll show you one day. We're all equal. And by we not you just you and me But the pears and the trees The dogs and the fleas Goddam you're so ignorant The only thing that makes us equal Is the fact that we live We're biological. And all here in the same forsaken planet. So deal with it goddammit. My favorite color could be your worst memory. My best friend could be your worst enemy. I could ruin your day and make mine At the same time. All in rhyme. Its not meant to be. Its all meant to be mine.
