WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG…. (POETRY)

Standard

WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG

 

Changing faces into traces of happiness.

Laughter at every corner.

Waiting to expose the very you into what nobody ever Knew.

Suns blue thinking of the old you.

The universe hurts when the body thirsts for the unnatural.

Wonderful sounds come from the ground when it rains.

Washing away at least some of the pain.

I want to keep my gift that the devil tried to sift like wheat.

And gobbled me like a bear chewing on human meat.

My gift is mine directly from the divine.

And can’t nobody take it no matter how many times I fall on my behind.

I’m scared to lose with all these precious jewels.

The sea can see and is free to take in all that rightfully belongs to me.

In the midst of all the confusion…

I try so hard to defuse them…

To refuse them…

The thoughts that sought after me.

As I walk in the valley of the shadow of death.

I fear all evil.

The reason is treason is why those things hunt for me.

And melts my candles dry way before that 100th try.

I got the heat under my feet when my feet hit the streets.

And I’m lost in my soft that’s hidden from even me.

This flow won’t let me go because of my gift that the devil tried to sift like wheat.

Grown in my pants doing the happy dance.

And still scared to look behind.

Cause I’m still mad at me for losing it all together.

In tune with that moon that gave me that shadow into that empty room.

Some would assume only me.

But it was the shadow that had the strength to set me free.

A pass into the real world.

Personalized music.

Defined by the rhyme spinning in my own mind.

I thought I was free to design.

To awaken the music within me.

Transforming sin.

Only to begin the noise again.

Like wolves in the night. 

The eye can’t see what the mind tries so hard to fight.

Scrambling and fighting for what’s right with the wrong.

Because Good take too long.

The devil tried to sift me like wheat while in my sleep.

Trying to run from my own feat that stayed suspended in my dreams.

I dare to dare with so much of so little care.

While engaged in this dangerous hate affair.

This shit is deep because the devil keeps trying to capture me in my sleep.

Sweet dreams awaken me to reality.

To my destiny! 

Want to live not relive the forgotten, because the roots rotten.

But I still try as my dreams fly by.

I AINT FUCKIN AROUND WITH THAT EVIL SOUND THAT KEEPS TALKIN TO ME, AND COMIN TO ME, AND WANTIN ME!!!

I curse the day I ever met that thing.

Laced me with his ring.

A covenant to bring me to my knees.

And death is what would please him.

My mask gives me much sass because it thinks it’s in charge.

Wishing I was anorexic to throw up this mess.

Heart pounding through my chest.

Pedestrians moving slow just to watch this train wreck.

Such tainted words form in my mind.

And the light always shines on my weary soul!

In my heart of heart there’s something I know I need to do.

But I can’t remember because I keep falling asleep.

Wake me up from this possession I’m in.

This desperation I’m in.

Exile to these places that has many faces and none are free.

Free to capture or even protect their very destiny.

Nailed to my own personal cross of sorrow.

Waiting for tomorrow.

To turn it all around!!!!

Before I hear that sadistic sound that knows my name and has everything to gain.

But I’m back in that empty room.

My own personal tomb.

That I dressed up with flowers…

Knick knacks…

And curtains…

To cover the cinder blocks that took me too long to stack.

Some little girls waiting for me!

Some little girl is waiting for me!

Some little girl is waiting just for me!

And been waitin and waitin…

And she ain’t waitin for my sad to take me away.

She got some things she got to say….

Like…

What took you so long?
