As Often As Anyone Else

How often do shadows cry
And if they do
This means like us
they feel to 
How often do whereabouts 
dispose of their founders
The emptied hands pivoted gruesome
To only expire before you lose them
This is why my eyes cry
Late night movies 
Midnight hours, how do you spend them
When letters feel “ no need to reply”
To where do we send them
A curious mind in eye sight
A figure taunted
The difference in people is 
“Don’t let your personality dye”
Flesh wounds appear the same
Determination’s found in change
Could you spare me some change
A course of new events
Hand prints on the face of cement
Try not to take life out of context 
“I’ll be home soon”
Read his final text
History is somewhat of a vex
Sort of a temporary fix
A day, a age, that some of us miss 
How do you become a person 
Or exhibit the features of everyday  people
Minus the wars, the battles, the ether 
Trouble awaits 
For those of us who refute 
Similar choices brought
About in this place of being
Bloggers are subsequent to ignorance
Just the lack of reading 
Express’s the true meaning of being for real
The objective to live and protect yourself 
Minus the kill
Sometimes glory comes as a steal 
Did you think love was beautiful
Black coffee, cigarette buds 
A raspy voice 
from a figurine with seductive cuticles 
A slice of pie
Banana’s and caramel 
On top of our lie
Apart of me is fiction
And some of you is true 
A journal 
Do you commit yourself to unfulfilled comments
Did you dust your hands off 
Wash your face 
and forget to accept the necessary compliments
If I’m shady
then you weren’t around 
Too far gone, dancing in the sun
Musically
you love the violin
Sympathetically 
you can’t sing without the gin
