Never Dreamed You'd Leave In Summer

I should have written this a year ago but I fear that those who know me might see this as my moment to be vulnerable. It's been a long time since u heard my voice and today I swear I heard yours. I moved on to being ready for marriage, but that seems more like a mirage. I still taste your lip gloss mixed with my flaws and got lost in the sauce. But enough with the past. I need to move past our past which has passed. I know that you have moved on because I pushed you away. But still today I drive by your way in hope that our eyes don't gaze because that when I remember those days. The first day when we kissed in the rain and I couldn't blame anyone for being so into you. But days have changed and I should forget your name. Oddly enough, I can admit I still can't.

Pain is Premature Enlightenment

La Lena

If they push me against the wall
I will fight til I fall or your jaw
taken out of my hand by the law
I wake up every morning feeling flawed
To the top I will claw or brawl
Even during the worst times I don't stall
I am nothing more than a man
Too spiritual to run with the pagans
Too proud to stand here beggin with my hand
Out waiting for the donation of a nation
That once had me on a plantation
Building the same nation that don't give a damn
If they incarcerated another black man
Smelling like a bed pan, isn't that the plan
It doesn't matter if your skin has a tan
It's about income and influence in the end
I tend not to blend in with society
Watching... so that they don't body me
I never copped a plea for it to be easy
I just believe that when I leave
You should remember me
I rather have nothing striving for something
Then be here acting like I'm something with nothing!
