Time ticks by, an endless fading of lives awry.
Time kicks and spins, but we never know where it begins.
Time breeds pain and heartbreak, but not just that.
Time breeds love and faith, and gives itself to people meant for something great.
But it can never give enough.
Not for love, for hate, even for people who do what’s great.
Time never has enough to give, never enough to take.
Time is imbalanced, some say time is a concept, “fake.”
But time is real. Time is inevitable. The Norns weave our fates,
Cut the threads that no longer serve any purpose.
They do it not out of hate, but duty.
And truly, most times, they do us a service.
Cherish your time.

Mosquitos complain to God 'bout the wind
They can't stable when the wind comes unkind
On the judgment day
God calls all to stay
Both can't attend at once for contrast sign

Drunk in love, red wine, a celebration
turquoise touch, my mind disorientation
losing track of teal time, in your embrace
racing heart of mine, in chocolate kiss taste
Fill me like a teacup, keep me hot
Imbalanced in love, ashamed I am not
I am a glutton for your amber attention
Push my button, sends another dimension.
I see the sea in your green eyes
Talk to me, even if it’s liquid lies
I like what you say, that I am ocean deep
Swim in me black babe, and swallow me.
No where to run from love so true
If we were to end I’d be bent and blue
I fit like a green glove every part of you
Disorientation celebration as you fit me too.

I am destruction
The fervor of my fiery temper wreaks havoc upon ignition
Sparked and left ablaze to drift, knowing only to burn
If you ignite me, I will stop you
I forsake the very ground that feeds me,
betraying my kin with pollution
My mother Earth and brother Air, the reasons I sustain
If you trust me, I will disappoint you
I reach the peak of heat to call you from its threshold,
sending signals of longing to be put out
I tease with the ability to purify
If you desire me, I will have you
My flames all but whisper in your ear,
but try to tame and provoke my ruthless retaliation
For I suffocate if confined
If you touch me, I will hurt you
My sincere moments of warmth on bitter cold nights,
imbalanced in the ash that trails behind me
I won't cease to consume all that lies in my path
melting metal and flesh, filling chimneys and lungs, in pursuit of more
If you get too close... I will burn you

As I look over the
unbridgeable chasm
from the cliff to the sea,
churning on the rocks below,
I realize that why
I cannot bridge the gap
is not because of what I am,
but, because of what I'm not.
I'm immutable
I'm immovable
I'm imputable
I'm imbalanced
I'm imbittered
I'm immature
I'm immobile
I'm immaterial
I'm immense
I'm impassible
I'm impartible
I'm impalpable
I'm impenetrable
I'm so 'hmm'

SAD is very, very sad
Consuming food-like items daily
Soon we're doing bad
Jiving around, living life vaguely
Clear vision is what's missing
Stumbling and falling day and night
Our beautiful health we're dismissing
And slowly but certainly we're losing our sight
Three squares a day, I heard them say
There must be breakfast, lunch, and dinner
Getting a few snacks too, the American way
But so many are losing, so who's the winner?
Excess sodium and added sugar
Covertly, life becomes more imbalanced
Anger increasing and love is meager
Over life becomes more calloused
High-fat dairy, red meat, and cancer-forming
We blindly play in debauchery
Living for opulence but we're harming
While this sordid path illuminates an ominous augury
SAD is so sad
Eating loads and loads of CRAP
FOOD is being ignored and the world is going mad
Being caught in a pen, a slothful trap
I don't want a Standard American Diet
I want to be a Healthy-American-Powerfully-Progressing-Yonder.

Scales always imbalanced
In heart once filled with malice...
Found profound solace
In learnt lessons from unknown
Sources of benevolence.

I feel unstable, imbalanced full
Of fear and doubt.
I'm angry, depressed, a lot
Of times I lash out.
I become overwhelmed with emotions,
I wear them on my sleeve.
Mixed feelings, confusion,
All I can do is grieve.
I've never been calm,
Cool and collected.
This is not the first
Time I've been rejected.
Your cruel and heartless,
Yet, you remain stable.
Your lies, tricks and
The betrayal.
You somehow detach
From your victim.
You shut down and
Turn off the system.
You used and abused me
Then cast me aside.
I remember we promised
To never divide.
Your expedition left me
With psychological trauma.
I want to cause you
Unnecessary drama.
So much damage it
Effects my health.
I did not see this coming,
You were flying stealth.
You have no idea of
The damage you caused.
My whole world
Forever paused.
I have to believe,
You don't know how it feels.
Your sign should read; Devil's
Daughter hell on wheels.

As a mind of oversized ears
keenly listening for connection
struck by the looming fears,
and the consistent results
before my eyes, manifested into presentation
The overarching realization
of said bodily disproportion
worthy of being a skit
to drown in a laughing fit
Oh woe, it's spread too far
tall enough to reach a star
imbalanced enough to eventually fall
Stretched beyond repair
just myself, without a pair

In my chemically imbalanced mind,
All I can do is detest.
Wandering my dismal world of the blind,
Anxious of what’ll transpire next.

Menace intends to mow
Ruthless slices stem renegades
Remnants flap erratic,
Resilience remains unafraid
Virtuous dispose overgrown
Scorn of manicurist imbalanced
Courage operates alone
Realisation spurred by challenge
City's mesh messiness
Accepts intended bedlam mosaic change
Faceted shadow corners glint
Light slides, vertical snake rearrange
Cult harbingers cut opposers
Whip and snip straight edges
Goaded by nurtured clones
Rebel dispels lectures
Scope stacks psyches intermingled
Hand clasp members hope
Allegiance tucks members beneath wing
Anonymous chase, utopia
