the thoughts that plague my mind
130 posts
Stuck in traffic
Everyone’s in a box.
Carpools of sheltered memories,
Passengers to a prison of thoughts.
Fool, you must change lanes,
The roads have always been empty,
You travel with those with lost names.
You’re looking for what has already been found,
Choose your own direction,
Find freedom from this crowd.
The stranger
I walked along a sunlit road
A stranger passed and said hello
He gave a nod and gave his phone
And said you must speak
To the unknown
“But sir, my heart is a timebomb
I don’t know when it explodes
My rip cage of violence
The war inside of my heart
It’s just another battlefield
With no ends
And a thousand starts”
“Go on soldier
Die for something
Die for the beating drums of your flesh
Die for the love of life and death
Die for the things you’ll never forget
And die without words unsaid
Because to have died, is to have lived
And to have lived, is to have never died”
The stranger took the phone and fled
I never saw him again
Voiceless voices
Amongst a scattered world
Always never, and never always
I’m stuck somewhere,
in the middle of nowhere.
Where here is just as there,
And then is just as now.
I know exactly where I’m lost,
And yet
i am unaware of everything around me.
We’re all different,
So aren’t we all the same?
I think too much,
And sometimes not enough.
Maybe it’s the act of balance,
Throughout all of this chaos.
Don’t we take life,
When we are given death?
Don’t we share hate,
When we steal love?
Sometimes we listen without understanding,
And sometimes we speak without meaning.
Everyone is justified,
And everyone is guilty.
Look at me trying to argue,
That we all can agree.
But we all just turn our backs,
And believe only what we see.
Fail fail fail
Try again
Fail fail fail
Try harder
Fail fail fail
What are your regrets
Fail fail fail
Till the altar
Where there’s a meaning,
there’s an author,
And they experience all that they wander
Spread your wings,
a jump little farther
And fail fail fail
No longer
When the new day is born
Will you nurture it?
Will you teach it who you are?
Will it change you?
Or will you let it pass you by
Like a slow death in the sky
Monopoly Jailhouse Blues
I’m not innocent
Well I hope just a lil bit
You can’t get a hold of me
Baby it was heaven sent
Yea I could smell it then
perfume on my laundry
Hey Mrs officer
I’m sorry for all of my crimes
I don’t live that life no more
Maybe once or twice
On the run
It’s been so long
Got an x on my chest
Might wear a vest
Eyes on me all the time
Tell ma I’ll pay the fine
Maybe it’s fine
Give myself a break
Smoking and meditate
Phone, silent mode
Don’t hit my line
If life was just a game
Would you Try a little harder
Would you Try a little harder
Why are you so afraid?
Just Try a little harder
Just Try a little harder
I feel it in my bones
I’m getting old
And i still don’t got a home
I lost myself a long time ago
The open road
Has my soul
And I just can’t stay for long
I paid that price a long time ago
A long time ago,
A long time ago,
I was stripping her bikinis,
In Motel rooms,
Had movie screenings,
Shoulda hear her screaming,
didn’t know I was the villain,
How was I supposed to know
All we wanted was the feeling
And the taste of gold
But that’s not for us to know
It’s not for us to know
Whiskey Apologies
Where do I begin?
It all started way back then.
A blonded stare,
A sugar bear,
A blue truck and the wind in your hair.
We gave up that night,
Too many fights,
I did what I thought was right.
What a little life.
And then I drank too much and I didn’t slow down.
I said move on but i didn’t know how.
I said you’re better off without me now.
Give me time you know that I’ll find it,
Give me time you know that I’ll find it,
Give me time you know that I’ll find the words.
So where do I begin?
It all started way back then.
And in the end, I lost a friend.
We are footprints in the sand,
Just footprints in the sand.
I’m all alone,
It’s been so long,
I think of you,
Is it wrong?
i don’t deserve,
A single thing,
So here it is,
My apology.
Call me crazy,
And you can hate me,
But I won’t blame you,
I lost my way.
Give me time you know that I’ll find it,
Give me time you know that I’ll find it,
Give me time you know that I’ll find it,
Give me time you know that I’ll find it.
Take one step at a time,
Don’t rush it.
Be a turtle.
My misery and my desire,
Are similar in their attire.
I’m really the smartest fool,
Touching a raging fire.
You must take what is yours,
Because yours only stays awhile.
And it’s only never too late,
To love the things you hate.
But then ya’ll gonna mix my words,
Y’all don’t know how to spell,
And what if I get my groove on,
And tell that bitch how I felt,
nah, I can’t catch no feelings,
Cuz that ain’t good for my health,
And when I get to coughing,
I pray I’m up in the clouds.
Home body,
But nobodies home.
How could I exist?
I’m only blood and bone.
I’m way too deep in consciousness,
i get lost in supermarkets.
Who are you to judge,
what’s inside my pockets?
If I gave you the world
You’d question how I’d got it.
If heaven was here,
You’d stomp right on top it.
I’m drunk again
And I haven’t been
Anything
Worth troubling
Purposely
On accident
Another day
Another consequence
Who have I been?
Why do I sin?
I feel so weak
Need medicine
I feel so cold
I don’t fit in
My neck is stiff
Remembering
My bodies old
I’m fidgeting
I can’t focus
On anything
Doc…
Im struggling.
How do I medicate
My suffering?
“Boy just ice it
You put it in some rice yet?
Don’t tell me you got problems
Till you spit it out or digest”
I guess I’ve got to change my mindset
Life is a comedy
Burnt cigarettes,
Count my frustration,
My lungs, my ashtray,
My heart, it’s all failing.
Coughing up swallowed words.
Better late than never, I guess…
I play with guns
I’m touching fire
I’m on the run
Leave it all behind us
I sleep in my car
I won’t get too far
I think too much
It’s hard to slow down
When you’re ahead
they say my musics too loud
And I don’t know anything
But that’s alright with me
Her hair was on fire
A peppermint martini
Right beside her
Oh..
She was so close
Stepping on my toes
Her freckles and her nose
Her lip gloss stained my daydream
Her presence warmed my soul
Our eyes are always dancing
Without you is vertigo.
I am the dust on your shelf.
I am the passing wind.
I am the raindrops on your window.
Waiting for you to let me in.
I am the eyes of longing.
I am a quiet protector.
I am the memory of forgotten.
A lost time collector.
Nightlife,
The moon is up,
And she’s talking to me.
Give me somewhere to belong tonight,
Give me somewhere to belong.
Hold me close
And hold me bare
I’ll take a flight
I’ll be right there
You told me you cared
I see my flaws
I know they’re there
You say you love
But do you swear?
Can’t ignore what’s in my head
Fuck you and your blazed post. Thanks for spending money to lower the iq of everyone you come in contact with
A voice is a weapon and I’m not going to apologize for using my resources for something I believe in. I appreciate you for expressing yourself, I’ll always support that, but let me hold you to the same standard. Maybe instead of hating on me, you should be bettering yourself or doing something that actually might make a difference. You’re just furthering my argument. You don’t know me and I don’t expect you to understand everything I’m trying to say but you’re attacking me rather than the argument. What exactly are you upset about? I believe it takes a greater intellect to understand both sides of an argument and your logical fallacies are making it hard for me to see your point of view. Good luck to you!
Yes, my argument is flawed by my emotions, I didn’t necessarily mean I never had the opportunity to vote for a candidate of my standards. I’m just saying that the candidates didn’t meet my standards. I appreciate you for expressing your opinions and keeping me in check. Good luck to you.
You know what’s bothered me? People viewing our president as some sort of celebrity. Especially someone that says they are a “fan” of a presidential candidate, just doesn’t sit right with me. These are real people governing our country, not a fucking magical being or a movie star. Politics nowadays is damn reality tv. This country is as mature as a high school, and the popular kids are fighting for control. I’m not religious much but this is what god means by “false idols”. Also, the fact I’ve seen people bet on the election or talk about it like it’s some sort of sporting event is quite outrageous and unsettling. This isn’t entertainment, this is supposed to be a commitment to democracy and creating equality and fairness in our country. It’s about making the proper changes to help better mankind and American lives. I think we need to start somewhere new. Our lives don’t change with a presidential election, change occurs within ourselves. It’s our mindsets that are hurting us. For the next four years we live with a decision, and after that, the same thing. That’s how shit works, and not everything goes your way sometimes, but that’s how life happened to turn out. It’s hard for me to trust anybody that worships a “presidential candidate” or obsesses over the idea of the election. All we can do is control what we do and how we act. We can’t better the world until we better the people that are capable of changing the world. Change is necessary, without it, we wouldn’t adapt, survival wouldn’t be possible, and evil would persist. Fuck trump and fuck Kamala. I never chose them as my candidates. Who said anybody is worthy of such a position of power anyways? But if you really are into politics and support someone, I get it, you’re doing all that you can do by voting for what you believe in. And I commend you for choosing that decision. Just remember there are more important things to consider than to obsess about your favorite “candidate” on your free time. And for the love of god, stop dividing this country.
