Poem
I was only sixteen for a moment Then seventeen for a second Who would have thought I couldn’t hold it The kid who could do it all Who would have thought he would grow up and fall down He never guessed that those speeding years would be the best And remembered in tumbling tears The old familiar faces are no longer around So now I’m leaving on a journey Burning through the night Leaving some bloodstains to frame out the scars That’ll jar our memories and blind the true life dreams Now I’m feigning Killing myself by dreaming I’m scheming on redeeming my former state This time I won’t abate It’ll be straight over the broken glass Another unspoken forsaken heart that I’m concentrated on breaking Baby hip hop pop the top Ignition as result of the drop Stop think and listen Silence listen Quiet please another tragic vision Lets mop up this which glistens I was christened as pure Raised as evil Lets seesaw Lets silence your broken call Appall them all Why walk when I can’t crawl The perfect fix in a simple magic trick So damn smooth Splendidly slick Now for the trick Two simple props key to male my heart stop Just a boy and a mirror And all his fear of what times brung I’ll fix what I can’t admit Lets silence the dreamer inside Not to lie so if you would say goodbye Time to live or die Three times thrice this won’t happen twice I’ll look in the mirror see what I saw Take the saw edges serrated Time to cut out the heart that never made it Don’t you dare try to save it I’ll brave it out Just whisper I can whisper like a shout I’m insurmountable My dreams are unaccounted for Living life as a whore I’ll give and give Please won’t you take and take I’ll drown in my personal fire water lake Condemn me for being real Would you rather me be fake Another choice for you to make
