Whos Who

Deception is at a all time high.  

Its hard to tell whos' telling the truth and whos' telling a lie.

When you confront a liar, the first question should begin with why.

In a city of average joes, its hard to tell whos who.

I observe to see who will come out of the blue to sue and who will stick around 

like glue.

Loud Thoughts

My silence can never compare to the noise in my mind.

Strong brainstorms form thoughts that end up on notebook lines. 

I plant verbal land mines that blow minds when they're seen by eyes.

My heated thoughts burn until they fry like french fries.

These thoughts can be ignited by lies or a unwanted surprise.

The Difference

A childish wage doesnt belong with a fully grown age.

As I enter a new chapter, God's hand turns the page.

I need to construct my own lane so i can stay away from lames.

What I've become is the difference that will tear myself out of the frame.

The Will of Rights

The buzz i create WILL be heard all over the united states.

My fanbase WILL expand while my financial fate takes shape.

I WILL then emerge from a state that contains the great lakes.

Cameras WILL flash while i read my poems to millions of readers.

My talent alone WILL turn a doubter into a believer.

How I View Life

Life isn't a game, its a big war zone for souls that need to be saved.

I feel i should be highly paid therefore i rebel agaisnt a small wage.

I stay legal to stay out of the cage and stay single to avoid being played.

This is how i view life and its not going to change.

Turbulent Grounds

As i walk on the earth's turbulent turf, Iook back on events that occurred after my 
birth.  I dealt with what i felt was the worst and starved after being over-worked.
Relationships aren't safe because betrayal lurks.  You can't trust what wears 
skirts, earrings and carries a purse.
