Forty seconds to say I love you
Forty seconds to say I care for you
I hate to see you cry
I hate to see you hide your face from me with shame
You are always happy, I appreciate your sweetness
You are like an older sister, always watching out for me
You are always like "njeri, come by and lift some weights. Its good for you"
You draw hearts for me to smile too
One time I accidentally broke your glass of water and I felt so bad about it
But you were like, "njeri,it's ok. In my culture, when things break its usually a sign of good luck"
I will never know your pains
But I'll always love to bring you a cheerful pie
Vent-ill-Station
I like the brain but my mind
Isn't real, take it
So I wield change in the face
And I will make a disgrace of
What humans made us
Shaped into, its true
Take some, its good for you
Trace the steps
Dwell on life, the past, the present
Make well of the future
Meditation
Pre-devestation
Devestated, useless
But a body needs a host so give it up
Be the reducement
Added fusion to the blueness
Sitting to cool for the movement
Needed to move with conceited
Use of an E and a You
D and an A, DNA left for two
Weeks in shoe
Walked on, horsin' around though straight two cents with an eye
For an idea, great music
Not finding a grate to sit
Or an apple or a grape to sip
Butane fixed just to fight the fact that you are lighter than
A star lighter, man
Lost sight of wishin' I would crash bright and bad
~Tyler L Gillespie
its good for you too
to do this
you'can't miss
take a stroll to the park
go get a fresh start
get the air
don't just stare
you might go blind
so just blink and wink
WALKING GOOD FOR THE MIND
WALKING HELP YOU THINK
its good for you too
help you sleep
after you eat
its a real treat
do it eat by the house pool
