Best Running Around In Circles Poems
Celestial wisdom; the mother of a precious starving infant, knows no shame!?
Transcending; as the father of an innocent war torn child, knows only pain....
Watching this world from afar these eyes, while it turns atop the bed of sorrows
Burning and yearning yet never learning; as tears keep falling, from broken hearts ~
You frankensteins; you hypocrites; you beast of burdens; you cannibals; you zombies
Lost and running around in circles while poisoning, tormenting and killing one another?!
Gnashing emulations; abominations, fulfilling the prophecies of its own saddened tales....

You say you will, but then you won’t
Say you do and then you don’t
I’m running around in circles all the time
You tell me that you’re feeling low
Saying maybe I should go
Then the next minute you’re saying
You feel fine
It’s a catch twenty-two
Whenever I’m with you
I’m damned if I don’t
And damned if I do
I’m walking on eggshells
When I am with you
I can’t do right for doing wrong
You make the days so very long
It’s like I’m constantly trying
To swim against the tide
First a happy, then sad face
A simple word said out of place
Then suddenly it is 'pity poor me' time
It’s a catch twenty-two
Whenever I’m with you
I’m damned if I don’t
And damned if I do
I’m walking on eggshells
When I am with you
It doesn’t matter what I say or do
I’m always walking on eggshells
When I am with you.
Just beyond your focus, came a fallout of rage.
There was a silance that had ended by the look on your face.
And I could swear_____ I saw you fall apart, your strength
had turned to weakness as you through up your arms.
I CAN tell when your losing your way.
And it's not fair that your running away.
Your dispositions faded like the jeans that you wear,
and by this challenge thats forsaken because you really don't care.
It's about this matter of dependance that you've already scathed,
so lets head back into the silence so that we don't BREAK away.
And just follow me if you don't know your way,
and I won't tell...........when your running around in circles.

Christmas was sadly over, then New Years Eve started calling,
parties at papa Joe's, singing and dancing, the snow was falling
Party hats, confetti and balloons, such a dream come true,
me sipping on cheap grape juice with my cousin Betty Sue.
Running around in circles to old songs from nineteen sixty five,
my favorite memory is when my favorite Auntie Ivy would arrive!
She'd cut my favorite chocolate cake with gramma's heirloom knife
not knowing as an adult that Eve would the worst day of my life.
The day started out fine, but I had a feeling that would change,
my sister had been depressed and her mood was very strange.
I dropped her off at the mall near by trusting she would come home,
but since that night my life has changed, I would forever be alone.
Calling her...Calling her...I kept calling her...over and over again,
at exactly three o'clock, I knew I would never see my best friend.
Days flew..weeks...months...oh how much did I cry and grieve,
As a child I'd never guessed how much I'd dislike New Years Eve.

My mister right
My mister wrong
Break my heart, and put up a fight
Then sing me a sad song.
Say you over me.
Then start crying over me.
Say I ain't nothin to you,
But I'm your everything too.
The memories you done forgot.
Then say they preserved and won't ever rot.
Say it won't happen again
But over and over.
Same old thing.
Running around in circles.
But I'm ready to move ahead.
As I lay down in bed
My mind drifts away..
Wondering how life would be if you woulda just stayed.
Without You, i dont know what to do,
Wish I could say I was over you,
But be this just ain't true.
Why did you have to be split.
Couldn't fix it with a first aid kit.
Half I love.
That's the half from heaven above.
Half from hell.
Deciving lies didn't ring my bell
So you had me fooled.
Head over heels and dripping drool.
Even though you were mean and crewel.
Still I'm in love.
Although you tell me to cut my wrist
I still care.
Your still my baby boo bear.
Your my angel
My devil
My missing piece to the puzzle
Give me a little bit of everything I need.
But now your gone, this I hope you read.
Maybe get on the same page up to speed
And don't take advantage, greed.
Cuz honey this killin me.
Listen to these words be.
Regardless of what I do.
Those promises I made remain true.
I'll save my heart for you.
The promises I made stay true
You my mr wrong. But you my mr right too.
I hope we can work this out because
I miss you.
I want you.
I crave you.
But most of all because
I love you.
Both parts of you because it's who you are
...Even though it's got me torn.
There is this pearl of a treasure that I longed to find
Entombed inside the cobweb of my human mind
My automated eyes have conceited to the ways of the world
Frankly, I have doomed myself to the sins of the old
There is wisdom in clarifications; that I’ve yearned to see
That I’ve even questioned my lawful genetics to my own humanity
And my reflections has spoken with so many different things
It rumbles and tumbles down through the puniest end of a string
There is a lot to be said when one knows not what to do
Running around in circles over the things I never knew
But the pathways have been paved and the seed has been sowed
So it just amounts to discovering as to how much I’ve truly owed
And so I found myself at the end, where journey was just beginning
Faced to face with my soul and both of us just decided on digging
To my surprise, the treasure was real and it was always there all along
I just needed to open my heart, to see, the kingdom where I belong
Wilbs-5-18-16
In the beginning there was a word
Which was I, so I couldn't be alone
So I flied, reminiscing about those days with boom box's
and listening to slow jams,
Dancing to tunes oh the beauty in that thou,
thee shall not if thee shall won't,
The days, I was flying like Peter pan
Shouting "who wants to be old when you can be young and have fun"
But time hits us all!
so we keep spinning the wheel of fortune
to being catapulted out of our own imagination,
So we throw a quarter just to start over,
Knowing if we go back will lose our chances of being equal
The early days, once upon a time
When we were animals,
When we were black
Now we Africans, just reminiscing!
We will ever be humans, im just asking ?
Days go by, but im just playing records
To cassettes so im rewinding,
Back to the 80s,
my previous incarnation
Before the whole revolution,
so im skipping tapes,
playing with stones instead of toys no money,
it was kept behind the curtains now its out in the open,
sadly thee open the vault thee shall close,
This is more like Thanksgiving so lets enjoy the feast,
a whole family of guests I guess that's what happens
when you leave the door open and the windows closed,
All you have is an opportunity but no vision,
So they pull the strings,
man I'm just reminiscing about those days
we used to watch puppets,
those monsters on the screen,
The Sesame street
Ranging from care givers to cookie eaters,
Coated with red and some blue
they taking over the neighborhood,
To the frog, that's always being chased so the hood
could never have a prince, so we can never be saved,
man I'm just reminiscing,
The early mornings
Waking up to the rising sun
Now it just rains and rains
So I stay indoors, heater lit up
Guess who's feeling all warm and cozy
My fuzzy cat Elfie, that feline!
Reminds me of Tom in the cartoon series Tom and Jerry,
Oh boy! those were the youthful days
running around in circles dodging the system and its obstacles,
To being in church with Mary
Begging to Jesus can't you share your mom,
since that day i remember it as Merry Christmas
something like Mother’s day
déjàvu now its Sunday and I'm listening to slow jams,
going through all that again.
Trying to figure you out is like living in the Ice Age,
My love for you is like a dream escapade.
Tears dropping are more constant than a Tsunami,
Us together is like a cat and mouse game.
Emotions erupt ten times more than a Volcano spewing out hot lava,
Talking and being around you helps me relax like a hard worker after a long day
dips in the sauna.
Between me staying and trying to leave is like a game of tug of war,
You've got me running around in circles of metaphors.
Thoughts that are in my mind rips and runs around like a savage entering into a
village,
The things that you have said and have done are more exquisite than a spillage.
Trying to put my guard back up is like trying to recharge a dead battery; it is a lost
cause.
Hiding feelings is like hiking through the woods and getting lost.
There are times when you hurt my heart worst than getting hit with a cannon,
and there are other times when you have my head so high in the clouds that I am
avoiding the landing.
Passion and our intimate closeness is like stealing candy from a baby; maybe
I'm a kleptomaniac,
Strong sexual desires towards one another cause me to wonder if I have taken
aphrodisiac.
The history between us and others is like trying to distinguish between the sun
and the universe; it is un comparable.
Boy I am running around in circles of metaphors.
Stars can be seen when I look into your eyes,
The problem is looking away because it feels like my body shuts down and I am
paralyzed.
Getting closer to you might as well be like the Earth revolving around the Sun,
Staying away from you could be compared to a starving person waiting for lunch.
Your smile, laugh, and personality sticks to me like Kryptonite,
Your looks, Your voice, and physique has paved a memory in my life.
What we have has already kindled from a spark into a fire,
Your strong-willed and ambitions to move forward in success has left a
capacious room of desire.
This thing that we have goes back and forth,
But this is our circle of metaphors.
I wait around for days and days and days
I wait around for the phone to ring to ring to ring
I never hear the phone at all
Cuz you never call
Chorus
I don't want to wait forever
I don't have that long
I don't want to wait around for you to find out you were wrong
I just can't wait this long
You have your life and I have mine
We're wasting precious time
Running around in circles
Over and over again
I'm in over my head
Repeat Chorus
Are we falling harder?
Or just falling apart?
We keep going slower
You're making this too hard
Repeat Chorus Twice
This emptiness falls deep from my mind.
The sanity is out there for me to find.
Countless thoughts that stress to the max.
A soul that never get’s a chance to relax.
Endless words that continue to wander.
Myself I will then start to ponder.
Pain that taunts and sticks around.
Silence that fades and is never found.
Running around in circles until I am weak.
Guidance is now left for me to seek.
Raging thoughts that need to escape.
My life, I am trying not to break.
Words are seeping deep in my brain.
Myself I try not to drive insane.
“Back off world, Leave me alone”.
My heart lets out a final groan.
“Get out of my head, I didn’t want you here”
I grab my life by the wrist and begin to steer.
Trying to swim in my river of tears.
Still staying above my countless fears.
These thoughts seem to follow me wherever I go.
Myself, I fear others will get to know.
Haunted by thoughts that don’t know how to leave.
Still thinking the truth, no one will believe.
Can't Punk this game, this game is not made to be punked/
I'm not just any grain, I'm the one grain that stands out/
You used to be planted here, now you're just a stump/
And since you think you're criss cross, I'll make you jump/
Trying to punk this game, you're wasting your time/
And time is money so you not making a dime/
You're facing a steep hill, it's something to climb/
It's too hard to swallow, your mind is never mine/
When you think, it's blank, so your checks are the same/
You're running around in circles, it's an endless game/
You can call for my help, but you can't call for free/
You can start by calling 1 800 I need a beat/
Or you can call 1 800 set me free/
And beg me please, because it's me that you need/
I can give you some pointers, and show you the moves/
But it's more than just talent, you need the groove/
You need the shoes because you can't walk in mine/
So if you tell yourself you can, you'll just be lying/
This game is not for everyone, I set the bar/
And I'm too efficient, so I'm setting it far/
If this game can be punked, I wouldn't be the best/
And from the eye test, I passed every test/
Dotted every I, crossed every t/
The jury is out and I never took a plea/
Because I never done the crime/
I know I shine the hardest, they call me LED/
The greatest of my time, I'm the young Bruce Lee/
You can call me a King but I'm really a God/
I set off drums, I shred that guitar with a simple head nod/
You see the head bob, that means they feeling me/
Every show I do, I sweep the stage clean/
In the metal game, I made my house of stone/
You made your's of stone so your house is gone/
I huffed and puffed and blew it away/
The big bad bully and I'm clearly here to stay/
This metal game is punk proof you can't Punk this game/
Maybe once before but this another time frame/
Life
We question our existence
Driven by Natures insistence
That we all go the distance
But we don’t know how
Running around in circles
Like a bunch of comic Erkles
The dinosaur is purple
But we don’t know why
What are we becoming?
The music starts humming
The drummers are all drumming
But we don’t know where
Soon it will be over
Lying in the clover
Next to an old friend Rover
But we don’t know when
It's time that I face my past
and the horrible details it will contain.
Uncover it all, then file it away,
so I can break free from these chains.
In a desperate search to find the truth,
I seem to be falling three steps behind.
Clouding my way through,
making everything more difficault to find.
The suffering I felt was to much for me to bare,
in a panic I hid it all away.
Locking it up, forgetting it was there,
buried in a secluded place to stay.
Retracing my steps all the way back,
to where it all began.
From the beginning, starting all over again,
with fresh new ideas and a whole new plan.
It feels as though I am running around in circles,
and I just hit a dead end street.
I have to force myself to continue my search,
standing strong and steady on my feet.
It is important that I find what has been locked away,
I would be able to have control.
Take away all that power it has had,
getting back my soul.
Dealing with my deepest darkest fears,
in time my mind will be at ease.
I would no longer be afraid of what's learking around the corner,
by facing my mental disease.
I finally found what I hid years ago,
stuffed tightly between the cracks.
So many memories I tried to forget,
working hard to get my life back on track.
My Lord, my Lord,
i'm crying out to you!
Look down on me,
and wipe the tears from my face!
It seems i'm lost,
running around in circles,
Please lift me out of this miserable place!
I've put myself here,
because of the fear of this world all around me!
Please help me to see your glory and peace,
and know your love will always carry me!
You are my light!
You are my salvation!
The salt of the earth!
The bread of life!
If i put my faith and my trust in you Lord,
i know you will always win the fight!
My Lord, my Lord,
please help me to be strong,
and let me feel your presence all around!
I will stand in faith and trust in YOU with everything i go through,
and one day, i will be HOMEWARD BOUND!
What’s your problem?
You’re running around in circles,
Looking a little lost to me,
You’re walking down the tracks,
On a one way ticket,
You sure are a mystery.
I’ll probably meet you one day,
I’m sure you’ll be heading my way,
Your life is a story,
And maybe I’ll feature,
In one of the ending’s someday.
What’s your problem?
I haven’t been seeing you lately,
I’d sure like to know,
The direction you’re heading,
You’re a part of my history.
I’ll probably meet you one day,
I’m sure you’ll be heading my way,
Your life is a story,
And maybe I’ll feature,
In its nice happy ending someday.
