Distraction

Distracted But I'm counter active I stay active That Makes me the action Tactics I've mastered Make me a master I'm Plastered in innocent souls of by passers But Shattered Like glass is Hearts not captured Blood splatters Never matters Put a napkin On the puddle Subtle is the sound of deception Distraction There it goes again Low as the tone of wind Strong as the urge to live Soft as sin Sweet and supple It'll nudge you But you Gotta stay focus I gotta stay focus Let's not act as if this was written for you This is for us It sure does Get hard to get on ya feet With no floor or rugs The thing that helps me sleep Is the same thing that keeps me up Distraction It says focus on a 9-5 You have passions But passions don't provide At least not quick enough, or I'm I not doin enough Who I gotta proof it tah Look I guess I'm just frustrated Because I feel like my gift Is being suffocated Let's discuss the basics We make our own way in this world No one to trace it So many ways in this maze We all end up complacent Stuck Stuck in our head Stuck at our desk Stuck in traffic Stuck in ah marriage I'm stuck in my feelings I'm stuck in my zone I'm stuck but I'm fleeing I'm stuck but I've grown And still growing That thing about knowing things Is remembering the time You didn't know it I use to think words like these Didn't come from a poet I use to think the vision I seen Would never exist with my eyes open And at this very moment I'm just soul searching Distracted by the world I live... I journey
