never one

to ask for help

rather bleed on the sidewalk

then ask for aid

at the tip of the blade

they prayed

then betrayed

all digging a grave with a heavy spade

no tombstones no markings

prepared for that future;

seems further by the day

riley

it has been awhile

but i’m here

bleeding from my wrist

but i’m here

this wasn’t always the truth

absant more times then present

just so i could give something on christmas

i know they judge me

can see it in the corner of their eyes

never blinked twice

took their eye off me

i move past ’em

never stood still long enough

to tell ’em i missed ’em

i regret that

i know they judge me

i’m sorry pops

tattoos below my elbows,

i want them to judge me

lord’s receptionist

i know i’ll find jesus

only a matter of time

they always say

boy you need jesus

everytime i ring him

can i speak to jesus

sorry sir he can’t come to the phone

now, you gotta wear his symbol

you wear his symbol you can speak to jesus

his line never come up

when i’m on that come up

jesus takes his ten percent

that return is comin’

jesus in my ear

that return is comin’

new age comes with new faith

yeezy on my feet

just to speak to jesus

walk-

four o four

chances are

this is the last time i’ll see you;

face wiped away

like steam off a mirror

was never you

just me

alone,

this isn’t a goodbye

just a memory wipe

hardware error

when you speak

four o four

memory not found

had to start this way

fresh start

kind of

expatriation date is still the same

just a new shelf life

Poetry · Writing

all, nothing

intentions pure

entrepreneur

the world you will have to endure;

don’t want you to see

the cold black under the world

alone,

it never needs to be that way

all or nothing

a tea spoon of sugar

never hurt anyone

make the world better for everyone

nothing gifted, earned run

all brand new, never a rerun

all for one
