I dont have my poetry book on me, so I'll just improvise so emotions I'm feelin...


Real

Fantasies and false dreams clouding my vision, the sun's missing,
World full of hatred, war, murder, and s*x, the Son's missing,
Everyone's looking 4 that one prism of scattered light to steal radiant beams,
Put place in their own family's life and dreams,

The man that believes he's THE man is twisted, just a fool,
What's sad is that the truth is in our faces, but rocking sunglasses is cool,
So we dont see the pain thats hidden by flesh, money and greed,
Souls cuaght in infinite misery begging 2 be freed,

Which is why I release these ideas poetically unedited, raw,
Cause in this crowded road of life, it's hard to tell where u are,
1 chance to live life right or life wrong, no second appeal,
Cuz living now is hard like finding a song on the radio thats real,

I'm in a spot right now where I can feel myself maturing, almost like my subconscience is already getting me ready 4 the rest of my life....It's crazy, I'm starting to see things in a different perspective....and whats funny is that what I'm seeing now....


was right in my face all along...

I'm out...
