*Exhales*

Manufactured negativity

Sent to us by the guilty

Hearts which just beat

To feed a hungry mind's

Eye too clutch to blink

Loosen up, have a drink

And speak to the person beside you.

You want control? Pretend it's a dream.

Listen and relay what you know

Til you feel your pulse begin to slow

Into a steady rhythm.

Now you're living!

They smile at you--

That's cause for thanksgiving.

I'm melting, I'm melting,

My heart like thawed chicken;

I'm living, I'm living!

(It hurts like the Dickens)...

Your hate heart is gone now

You've always been different.

That person who said that is

No longer present.

Don't let your energy flow out of you

Tinged by past woes and remorse,

Doubt, regret--

It comes back folded into a note to self--
That's a BET!

Plain as day

Rock..
Paper...
WU-TANG! 👐

Know your name and hold your own

But the way is already set in stone

'Remain twisted to become whole.'
