A friend to me

close my eyes
imagine the past
and what once was
as time flies
how quick it has
disguised by the drugs

skip a line
kick a beat
lose what you just wrote
grow up fine
don't feel weak
hang your wet coat

it's as simple as that
i say it every time
listen to me please
i stated a fact
with reason and rhyme
heard only by the trees

you're an animal
one of the jungle
who are you to judge?
"im not a fan of them"
you moan and grumble
"I will not budge"

still all is well
i know its tough
you've no other outlet
since i fell
ive taken up
this as my challenge

you need a friend
and i do too
learn each others side
ill be here in the end
giving you
trust to confide

try to talk

try to speak
though your mouth does not move
choose the words
you feel you should use
say your piece
but still be unheard
you have said nothing
if memory serves
to interest or intrigue
the minds of the masses
uniform status
learned from the classes
you say your words
but what do they mean
you don't know
youre not as smart as you seem

transatlantic

transatlantic continental
fly into Europe
come back
nothing changes
people see you
they say hello
it feels now
like were complete strangers

how strange for me
to come and go
as wild as i please
"we talk of what
he has not done
instead of what he sees"

collect the knowledge
but do not share
its mine, not yours
to keep
but smile nice
and ill try to find
the knowledge that
you seek

i know now
people teach themselves
just be there to inspire
unhinge
take down if you can
your inner desire
to teach
and share
what they
don't want to hear

"you don't expect
your tv to respond
so why should reality
you live through
your favorite star
try to be them disparagingly"

"im better than you
the protagonist, if you will
i win in the end
so don't bank on you to.
if you think you're top dog
then sir, you are beat
im the main baddass
ill bring the heat"

nonsensical banter
you dumbfounded nave
i with my brain
will have my life saved

muse, why?

inspired by random thoughts
drifting through my mind
as abstract as i can
looking at the words i find

who are you
so long in the face
in a town so grey
such a slow pace
where will you go
in a year or so
give your time to nothing
dedicate it to your fling
cuz when you hear her sing
we all just fly away

so bounce back
jump forward
leap from side to side
now you're somewhere new
boogie it up
loosen out
smile cuz you can
and act a fool
stare at the screen and drool
don't be the tool
you know you can be
because with me
you see
you'll always be free


inspired by random thoughts
drifting through my mind
as abstract as i can
looking at the words i find

my muse will laugh

as my typing goes on

read every word

until the story is done
