Mirror Conversations
Do you know what it's like to live with no emotion?
Give the side-eye to everyone who's holy-ghostin
Rollercoastin through my life, when I should roller coastin
Hugs were no longer warm and toasted
Just necessarily unnecessary attempts for tears
To come down on your shoulders like its Neverary
But you can't see me down, I'm never weary
Never scary but the term never's scary
So I decided lemme pick up this poetry shit
Done messed around and discovered a poetry gift
Now poetry's it, it's live or death, the Midas touch
And mine is next, a lifeless fuck, my life's a mess
My life's a stress, and I can't fix it
Bob the Builder, can you fix it
No you can't cause I won't let you, I will confide in this pencil
These words won't let me hit you, let me get you
But these words are the only things I touch that doesn't poison me
Antidote for the poisoning, Pikachu, let me get a peek at you
Look you in the eyes and ask, did you poison me
Why does my hatred for you grow in me
But poetry gives me outlets to plug my energy
Gives me ways to love my injuries
Very subtle and stubborn, yin and yang with the synergy
Poetry taught me how to hate myself and love my enemies
And love myself and hate my enemies
Be careful where you touch like I'm anemones
I'm an enemy to the normal, cause it's cordial
Cause it ain't for me, but it may be for you, I don't adore you
Funny I had this conversation staring in the mirror
After a shower, where the steam wouldn't clear
So if can't see yourself, who do you talk to when you're all alone
Poetry taught me what may be right, may be wrong
Something wrong with this poem?
