Untitled


Life's funny in that way..

We laugh to keep from cracking up 

Smile to keep from crying 

Adopt an impassive aesthetic b/c tears don't exist

You're welcome 

Steps to survive in a world like this 

We can't lock our hearts up then try to live our lives 

Instead of prison time 

I spend these written rhymes 

So don't reduce my sentences

I'd probably be insane if it wasn't for my penmanship 

God gave me a gift

Then a reason to use it 

Never seen by the masses 

Just in my mind for amusement
