I could
Write you
A thousand lines
About the times
Tell you everything is changing
Better step up to
Plate your change
State your claim
—-
To the new reality
Starz
Coming out
Waving their banner
mind your manner
—-
Soul’s escaping
I’ve been working everyday
Since I was 6
Tell me what you know
All I know is it goes on
You take the good with the bad
And you make what you’ve got
You’re living and breathing social media hype
Tell me how many likes you get
For waking up to the sound of termites eating your window seal
Tell me again
How hot you’re not
You can do whatever you want
Don’t let them get to you
Push back
I write to kill
I kill to write
Tell you what I’m not
Broken
Shattered
You cannot burn a flame
Hotter than the soul in my eyes
It’s back
You cannot take that
I might put a lot
On the plate
But I’m not
Emptying myself like this again
She’s a hit
A hot star
She’s red
Full lips
Sex in heels
She’ll take your heart
Eat it in front of you
While riding you
Take your bad backseat
Tell me again about how hot you got it
Shoulda shoulda woulda
Look
Your dream is collapsing
You’ve got to roll the dice
Snap
Wake up
Hit the ground running
Times are what they are
Your cards on the table
Play what you’ve been dealt
Like it’s
The cards
You wanted
Tell me again how it’s going to end
Three steps forward one step back
Sounds like progress in the end
All this pain
All of this fight
You stay in it all night
Blow for blow
Victory
In the end
Text your frequent flyover miles
And Monday morning quarter backs
The play by play
You’re in the ring
This isn’t newsfeed
This isn’t story
This isn’t updates
This is reality
This is your life
It is what you make it
It goes on
Good with the bad
Everything passes
So be present
Be real
And
Make yourself proud
Just be here now
