spending time facing problems with my other hand
faking smiles on occasion
living aint linear
time’s a rubber band
never planned
never stretch it too broad
if you scared to snap
back at it with the dusty vans
demons snacking at the heels
i aint falling back
y’all be cheesy at the wheel
i never call em back
set the traps
y’all be sniffing for the mouses
while i crush the rats
seen the crater of my bosom
imprinted in the couches
what it is and what it isn’t

running off the cliff just to feel a sense of power
burning down a bridge watch the flame as it devours
leaning on the ledge I’ve been looking down for hours


consequences laying bare
confluence of negligence
picking up the sediment
i was gasping for despair
intentions really waver
confessions as you flip the lid
favouring the trip
over slip and dip
pressing harder on the easel
as i break the led
sharper when i need it
itching when I’m scabbing
yea my life moving forward I’ve been waking up in transit
shit aint curable this poems a bandage
yea the diction really open the chasm
apprehensive and the friction really moving like phantoms
strolling in the darkness never needed a candle
all this verses that I’m penning its a tomb and a temple

I’ve been here before
I’ve seen this before
i ve heard it before
i ve felt it
I’ve been here before
I’ve seen this before
I’ve heard it before
I’ve been here before
I’ve seen this before
I’ve heard it before

no remorse
looking at my problems like i aint the core of it
hanging smiles like a christmas ornament
take it off balance fragile like its porcelain
baggage heavy so I’m throwing out the insolence
this aint a phase i know the paint permanent
sleepless in the night i couldn’t stop fidgeting
nibble at the past could u hear the dissonance
seeing thru the cracks couldnt make amends
got my conscious shrivelling
put it in a stanza
innocence turn to wistfulness
self pity limitless
i found my bliss in ambivalence
I’ve been here before
I’ve seen this before


I’ve been here before
I’ve seen this before
i ve heard it before
i ve felt it
I’ve been here before
I’ve seen this before
I’ve heard it before
I’ve been here before
I’ve seen this before
I’ve heard it before
