Becoming 2

Becoming 2


Wanted to get his teeth done for 40k
The pearly whites, too
Or else he would surely die
For not getting work done in his mouth
My empathy got the best of me
His exaggerated blinded love for me
Was his main tactic
Muh , muh, muh
Kissy face to the infinite power
He was serious 
I couldn’t resist 
Trapped in his grip

15 years he said he did
Why is he out
Giving the guards a break?
You smart mouthed narcissist 
I want to be in movies
In the books we’re about to publish 
50/50 is our deal

Kassadine Corporation 
Wish the Philosopher 
Ravisher of flower
Hammer to head
Fire to flesh
All of which you’ve committed 
Where is the respect you inhumane
Vulture, you son of a witch

It’s your turn to buy lunch now
I’ve given all I can give 
That is where it started
Then, I need $75 for a housing applications 
Then headsets, restaurants 
My paper currency 
Accumulated from work, college and contest win 
My savings in the hands of a thief

A sheltered man
Out to get everything he deserves
At what ever cost it may give 

Whatever I say, good or bad
I’m gonna do it, he said

Jail couldn’t hold him down
New Mexico’s uprising be brought up
He’s thick, broken glass in a pool of swimmers


I kicked a woman who walked in my direction, he said. She had the whole sidewalk 

I ain’t no punk

A trans gender woman he would put out
If she lied about it
He’d do it because he’d be a laughingstock if otherwise
