You know when words strike you! Hits you to your own core like lightning Praying for answers to your research Finding love when even that hurts Listening to folks Tell you how you look and what works You feel real to yourself when you Aren't hiding from words others Disperse, Box you in with their perceptions If only others were real when they converse instead fear takes over Pointing fingers that aren't clean Driving it home to make you WHO IS SHINING just feel worse. The timing is always impeccable projecting what they think is wreckable, some will find me alarming cause words don't hurt a wolf That's my silver lining. Finding results to the ladders You think you are climbing Revealing your own truth Learning illusions are broken at the Proper timing, it happens, you are aligning Reasons you find out when your mind Is able, growing up isn't just about Getting taller or growing in shoe sizes Takes time for minds to wrap around All the wires, cut em loose, being a machine Can get tired. I speak alot but not to preach My sermons come in the mounds Spreading equally to all my hounds Howling is part of my voice it's loud Telling myself how proud I am To be celebrating differently It's in all My notes fiercely Doesn't matter where you go Small towns or big cities You are in your skin sitting pretty Others wonder why confidence in you Isn't shifty cause they all have shadows Like ghosts they miss me around my Bubble of hope bouncing off Nobody wants my smoke You know words are real When they make you feel Tear drops, love, head knods Like yea! That's wussup! No cap, feel your beat Boom boom bap bap. I feel I have fear all around me The unknown keeps others doubting Expecting a paycheck every Friday Living till the next comes in Survival isn't for the weak It's real, not nice, not pretend All us artists know what we have And don't, the realest you can be is What moves consumers the most The facade of being what you are not Is a joke. This is real not just a poke. Calling out to those who know. Real knows. Darkness never wins And the light will have its time again Going through motions as I watch the tide Go out and come in, with each one I send out a howl, wishing that I could reach A certain person somehow.
