frowning madenss
of endless sadness
take me frantic or
leave me static
u got magic babe
then why so tragic babe
fantasizing ways to escape the madness
highways of endless sadness
got u feeling like u can't handle this
facade of tortured passion
fashion me a wardrobe
of intentioned rations
patched together wit strings of twine
too thick to create connection
affection something u learned
when ur direction turned
and the bruises didn't burn
and u learned how to learn
from things, not just bring
them up to call up pain
and the name ur called,
well it is ur name
not to be defamed by u or anyone else
and the same way i want fame
is the same way he wants to be tamed
can't label that lame
but i can say i don't want no part
in his game
shame he don't want no part in mine
fine, i say, i'll create my own way
i'll be stronger than i was yesterday
i'll be larger and much harder than i was anyway
but wait...
i don't want to be harder
i'm sick of being harder
don't wanna martyr my softness
for hardness's gain
don't wanna extend sadness's reign
don't wanna reflect on the subject of pain
and forget from where my best parts came
a realization
that outside this window pane
is the whole world
beyond this hailstorm of rain
is the sun shining
bringing better days
to those strong enough
to those who've had it rough
to those whose pockets be stuffed
with morsels of distrust
to those who now know
that they must
get outta the shadows
hit the trails start to run
to the one thing that makes em wanna move
maybe it's a few things that help ur groove
however many reasons u can choose from
that get u soothed, hon
well, break em out
share it with the world
don't shun what makes u go girl
unfurl ur sails and start to twirl
spin urself round
be grateful to god
that u have found ur voice
and know now u got a choice
between enactin ur fantasticness
or believin that ignorance be bliss
u know, i don't think it be
so try and kiss away inadequacy
see if who u wanna be
jives wit ur destiny
see if it measures up wit reality
cos the totality of u being u
and me being me
makes this world filled with so much more
possibility
and the traps that seem to trip me up flee
i don't pledge allegiance to no flag
i pledge allegiance to me
free from being busted
by any corrupted burreacracy
with glee i'm entrusted to live the life i please
but like trees in the breeze
i get swayed
like keys in a lock
gotta find my way
like a rocker who rocks
but don't get paid
i ain't yet there
partly cos o fear
partly cos o fate
partly cos i spend too much time
filled wit hate
so i'm trying to get there, not wait
but wait i do anyway
and say, well tomorrow's another day
but like a priest who can't pray
i get guilty and start to splay
my arms on the ground
flail around
bitch about everything
oh yea, i go to town
so yea, i'm trying to stop that
and yea, i'm trying to hack it
no matter the flack i might get
from anyone else
no matter the hell i might dwell on
and choose for myself
no matter that the things i want be
up on some shelf
no matter that the lover i'm lovin
can't even love themselves
so stealthily i sneak past myself
and healthily i unmask myself
til eventualy i ask myself...
can i be me?
no really, can i be me?
no, i mean really -- will i ever be me?
I love this. Its amazing
