Chapter 2: Held Down - a Poetry Voyage
It’s complicated…
I’m the king of jealousy
Keep me up
I’m held down
Rumors are like the watery triangle of nasty errors…
(Aphradere waterfalls fall on us)
My black and white future is full of grey blurs
(Remember, we are on each other's bus)
Efforts and hard work got me where I am –
I am mature and trying to find new cures
For you, me and everyone else
You are a selfish, senseless liar
You pushed me in the fire
Aquatic hatred can’t cover love
Love covers all sins
I can or can’t think of
Well, duh, I’m sassy pants
My irritation could happen so fast
Due to frustration from the past
You gave me desire
Despise me not
I came on too excited and tumbled over my empire
I have sass and I am fab,
So don’t worry much bout me
So don’t hurry up or slow down…
Make me feel even with myself…
Balance good from evil…I am on level eleven in your maze of bewilderment…
Just run and run in the narrow path
I’m an encouraging empath
I won’t fire up in utter wrath
I bet you noticed there’s a similarity between Language Arts and Math
It’s complicated…
I’m the king of jealousy
Keep me up
I’m held down
You are a selfish, senseless liar
You pushed me in the fire
Hatred can’t cover love
Love covers all sins
I can or can’t think of
Well, duh, I’m sassy pants
My irritation could happen so fast
Due to frustration from the past
The kill of karma is my thrill of aw's
I’m a king of the wealthy applause
Claustrophobia and social anxiety
Is taken over me frankly…tremendously
It’s complicated…
I’m the coolsauce
“King of creativity”
It’s complicated…
I’m the king of jealousy
Keep me up
I’m held down
You are a selfish, senseless liar
You pushed me in the fire
Hatred can’t cover love
Love covers all sins
I can or can’t think of
Well, duh, I’m sassy pants
My irritation could happen so fast
Due to frustration from the past
I’ve been walkin' and talkin' and I’m simply rockin', amazin'
I’ve given myself up to the muses of music…
It’s dazzling and incredible…I get oh so stimulating adrenalin
Rap: Do it again…do it…do it again – held down as if I’m the lunatic and you’re some sweet, special angel or an arrogant, yet ardent savior…you are so therapeutic – make out with my sarcasm of who we used to be…I’m trying to make out why you left me cold in the streets – so wicked and epic……….
Compromise
And be wise
Behave
Be brave
It’s complicated…
I’m the coolsauce
“King of creativity”
Keep me up
I’m held down
Keep me up
Keep me up
Till I had enough
Keep me up
Till I had enough
It’s complicated…
I’m the coolsauce
“King of creativity”
Appreciate, please don’t hate…anticipate where we are…
A road to the unknown – soon to be an award for all
Accept who you are delightfully and reject your head's scar
Just don’t drag me down…mindblown, but I ain’t down and I will not fall
Into your level of many-a frown up in this time-obsessed town
It’s a slow-paced, intelligently, and fatality-like reality,
So my fantastic fantasy unwinds my mind simultaneously
Hopefully, I fall in love immediately and sincerely
I’m still hopelessly searching…still searching…
I give in to giving up..that’s what’s up!
I need to let God choose the one for me
Sick of hastily and emotionally hurting…
I give up and leave it in God's good hands..that’s what’s up!
I don’t want to be descending from my puny ascension
Don’t hold me low, you know?
Don’t want to be in diving in your doubtful dissention
You’re alright and I’m alright, okay?
I already observed it by your eyes and sighs
I wish I can start ascending your lows and highs
Who knows what will happen – I rely on His eyes
Dad said I need to reap what I sow…deny the lies…
Rap: Don’t bring me down on the ground, all alone…I have done filthy crimes
I am…yes, I am guilty and really sorry
I’m not on my own luckily, God saved my life a million times
It’s complicated…should I explain my long story?
Fine then…give me a call…don’t care about my ego or reputation like you do
Might as well tell them all and rumors will ultimately spread like wildfires do
That I saw the excellent crown and it got me feeling glee –
So, crown me as “King of creativity” right now and later, you’ll be happy
Hello? Waiting for your reply
None…relatable to almost everyone
Ugh, whatever…okay, goodbye…
Are you gone, hon? Wake up hours after dawn!
Are we both above or still below the surface
The horizon is horrendously beautiful nonetheless
Don’t go into the deepest oceans
Instead, tell me your negative emotions
I want to replace them here and there
Let God mend your wounds of feeling worthless just a hair
I reckon I am the “King of Understanding”,
Not just creativity and misunderstanding…
