The Sun & Moon
Moon as my father
Tell me my name
Tell me I'm right
Not living in vain
That I see the light
And I'm not insane
They're so many problems
But I'm not to blame
Everyday that comes
Brings choices to your eyes
Falling into the beat
Makes my soul wanna rise
let it in your heart
You can feel it warm your soul
Always from the start
Never let it go
Sun as my mother
Show me the way

Waiting
Everyday I sit and wait
I don't know what it takes
I build it up until it breaks
Left with nothing but fear and hate
You think your life gets unnoticed
But the truth is people abuse it
Trying to live the right way, unacceptable by most
Everybody thinks they're right until the day they lose it
Now the trouble comes
Twist the second guess
People think it's a game
I think it's a test
Truth is I rhyme all the time
Pen and paper completely unnecessary
Because these thoughts come from an open mind
And I know my mind is one of a kind
When I speak up, people say it's scary

The Little Prince
Gave him a planet
All for his own
Everything is natural
So everything he owns
With the right train of thought
He gets anything he needs
Ground to stand on and
Plenty of seeds
As the Baobab grow
You cut them at the roots
When the volcanoes start to flow
clean the chimney shoots
everything is good
At the place called home
The stars dwindle
As the sun comes and goes
But its dark out here

Could Be A Fool
Would I stand and leave this place?
I'll make a path and set the pace
Can I lead
To a new day?
With a torch like mine
I'll light the whole way
But what if I'm wrong and I'm not living right
If that's the case you know I'm not that bright
call me dumb or call me a fool
I'll still do my thing, not used like a took
Call me the heater for the above ground pool
Call me the leader for the new kind of school
Making it up
Improv as I go
My mind works too fast
You know I won't die slow
Burning up fuel, too fast for my own good
If feels too nice and I think that I should

My Current Vision
My school book lies the furthest
Facing me
Completely guilty
I dislike school
school gives me no comfort
Except when leaving
Still I feel guilt
I did not put my full effort forward
The book remains closed
And
The water bottle in front stands out as the school binder presents
With a grey background
I see my poetry journal assignments paper being gently held down but the water bottle with the very corner of it's circle
My iPod cord appearing from under the assignment connects one end to the iPod and another into the computer
The rollercoaster of wires circle around my grinder with a pattern
It would be fun to ride that
My computer is centered
On but unused
Only charging my iPod
I see half a cigarette on the table

Wasting Time
I have to admit
I still dream about you
It's something you've got
That has me consumed
I try to squeeze in
You leave me no room
I try to move on
But I still feel the
Boom
It's the way her body moved
with that perfect sequenced flow
I want to believe she's still there
But I really don't know
It's the way her body flows
With a scent that's left to kill
This woman burns like fire
And I'm looking for a thrill
