When


For hours on end

I begin

To take the ballpoint of the pen

To try to write again

Its like my mind has a messenger sent

To my tongue, to deliver a messege unwritten

Mentally

There's a wall that lyrically is killing me.

I see the top of the mental rock

Take a moment to stop

look at the clock

and watch as time ticks away

Leaving my message written with only one word on the title page

when?

Where do i begin

to move this pen

to write again

My mind is on a Merry go round spin

circling one question

trying to wrap itself around the start of a new lyrical session

questing

for the first rhyme

on the first line

But the words arent hitting me, i dont have any shots left for the foul play, no words to say, i deserve a few shots from the foul line

Im aiming for the World Peace

inside me

But like in reality

I cant hold onto these files, information thats out of my reach

I search my mind with a night light

While i write

In the dark unaware

That inside these dark caves sleep roariong bears

And if i open up the cage

And let loose this rage

Then my lines will turn your mind like the last word on the first page

Focus straightforward like Osman the Sage

If i can unlock

This mental block

Then I can stand the test of time to drop

words that turn minds'

Like dimes

And unwind

The winding and grinding gears that grind time

When i begin to send

Signals down to the end

of the ball point tip of the pen

and write unspoken

messages from you to me

Then youll understand that I employed Hermes

I make sure you heard me because im working to set these words free

Lyrically

I write to provide you insight from lyrical scripture

See the picture

and hang it on your mind like a fixture

When I write, I turn over your cold stones

and break the backbone of false tomes

and leave your mind hanging over a payphone

When i write, I'm might not reach Drake

But i can still make you catch feelings, Crying Too Much when I break your mind with mental earthquakes

When i write look, to my left and my right,

and youll see that theres few that stand at my height
