I don’t want very much
I thought
Turned out
To take out quite a lot
Of time
It took to brainstorm
Before I could even organise the plot
Getting to know all the characters
Made it hard to start
Before I knew
Where it was all supposed to stop
Water started to boil
Had me jumping out the pot
All those meanings
Left me one degree
Away from cooking crack
Felt like my only way
Was becoming statistically black
At the end of a very long rope
About to hang myself with that
Confusing
When the rhetoric is stacked
Round 6
of a 12 year bout
Almost threw in the towel
No Cus D’Amato
Decided to fight my way out
Questioning if I was built for the long haul
A little rocky
Ended with a few concussions
And a fish fileted mouth… Continue reading

I was at a crossroads
Wondering what I had to do
Gave up on the good in humanity
To save myself
So much advice
But who the fuck is you
If I told you my story
You would say none of it is true
Defensive
wondering what I did to you
I still had lessons to learn
About Giants and Dwarves
And the expectations of the two
Getting used to the hypocrisy
Of being beaten with sticks and stones
While you exaggerate my words
Until they’re a nail in your shoe
Being raised to do unto others
Things they would never do for you
Honesty
Honestly
So much advice
But who the fuck was you
Telling me your story
Giving up along the way
Now you want me to do it too
Now that I’m looking back
I did it my way… Continue reading

There was a point
My foot was in the other shoe
The one with the nail
The noose was getting tight
I was about to fail
At that moment the sun began to fade
My life began to play
While the stars were lighting up the clues
I woke up in a hostel
On the road less travelled
Middle of the day
The clock was blinking 12
It took a while
But it seemed
Someone changed out all the fuse
Now I could see the nail
Before I could read too deep
On the rail
A piece of paper caught my eye
I recognised my writing
And read
“They’re all afraid to die”
Now my mind is spinning
Wondering
How can anyone be alive
While living in a lie
I have to let them see the truth
But who the fuck am … Continue reading

Now that I’m looking back
Watching someone barefooted
Doing laps
Wouldn’t make sense
Without context
Being at crossroads
On that full circle that brings it back
Allowing me to look forward
While looking back
Refining a plan
Exposing all the cracks
Now that I’m looking back
I can tell you the future is looking black
All those meanings
Keeping me on track
I don’t want very much in life
Turns out to be a heap
When you’re a pile of salt
Just looking for your Lot
It’s never really about asking for forgiveness
But sometimes you have to take it back
To the beginning
To understand these acts
Remember all the motives
Better organise the plot
