"...These words,
pressure points very serious through various pushes to gain some directions.
These words,
ensures experience can never be wasted on transparent reflections.
These words are my weapons and fellow brethren along the treacherous journey in documentation of triumph.
So these words are never lonely because when I becomes only, my only letters are already close written down.
Next to come is sound, mild volume in sweet intervals. Syllables of a lyrical flow but similar to the control of scratches over an instrumental as the Dj connects to go and present his show.
See why he's cold.
Because if you can't relate the confusion could equate to the same misunderstandings we've already come to know and has shown to cause lethal harm. Whether mental or physical, no matter when original intentions are only musical.
My heart doesn't make whimsical beats.
Only sounds of the streets in detrimental tone like her walks over my hollow ground with high heels on to hear the beat of the toms with 808 sub hums and moans.
The creaking of a weakening barrel bursting at the seems because of dreams dreamt and saved just to be seen at later expense. Now the barrel overflows and explodes, accidentally dispensing realities too creative and truthful to all except a handful of insightful individuals shining like blood under black light visuals.
I'm hard to miss...
unless you mix my tint with the complexions of most stereotypical shades even though I only share the color of my poetic ways.
These words be my praise through uncertain times and muted hurrays.
These words be my fortune when others see my value as vauge..."

"...In the world, I study people. They come from different parts of all over but we share similar words when expressing our hurt. A hurt derived from regional cultures that span greatly between archaic and innovative. The hurt was never shown differently on our faces either, so it led me to believe we mighta been connected until the trips back to Woodward showed my periods to be a little mistaken at best. I take for granted my experience from traveling sometimes and, when I do, I unknowingly give my progress to some people who walk the same streets as I did…but not as focused on the reasons I found in between each of the broken lines as much as they were on the crack in the streets. And even though I knew that, I still didn't know them, which really meant I didn't know me. Slowly from Holy to lonely as even my ignorance to happenings around me took away running but they always stayed in front of me, so I finally started looking both ways before crossing these streets. It doesn’t keep the cars from aiming for me, though. While they would gain speed during my many flees for safety, they would explain, it’s my free lesson which often suggests through their whizzing curses that I couldn’t know any better because I just wanna get from one side of hell to the other. But still, thank you for helping me get there a bit faster…one way or the other..."
