Note To Self

trying to keep this simple
a message to myself
something for me
a way to keep whats mine for me
a not in my pocket
of the things im achieving, striving, actively doing...
a note in my other pocket
my aspirations
the things im interested in
take the paper for your voodoo doll
see if i care
you puill my hair
you pull my hair

way to surprise yourself like finding twenty bucks
something you forgot but find when you wanted it
note to self
how am i today
well this is how iwas
this is how i hope to be doing
conversations to the past and present
indexing coordinates of time in poetry

reminding myself of the days i walkied madly in circles
two watches on
one on each wrist
one yoyo
left handed bouncyball
olympic joker
do you remember when we did this before
the note to self
what did we write

the sense of self we might of one had
did we lose our self
our self respect
was it me confused
you lost in a dase
maybe they did it to us
all of us never mentioned it to me thought i would know
but the blind leading the blind
poked out an eye
its not funny when there is a consequence for laughing
hangman
you better tell me
who made that joke of the hangman

Analysing familiar patterns even though im succesfull, 
yeah that was working, but i can do better
i can fix myself
take the time to think it through
same routine
break away fix my hair
pklay videogames bake a cake
lose myself in something else
something else
something else better to do 
better than being totally screwed
and lovin it
backed in the corner
bashfull
thump thump
thumper
backed in the corner

Fire in the iron
crop refined
second season
planted the new seeds in
stronger now
now i changed my mind
closer to your mouth
closer to your temptation
the two evils
a fork in the road
i place we all live but never get to
no matter how far we go
but live it everyday
welcome to today

black balloons
red parade
blue disco
got a red whale for sale
