Something To Remember (For Real)

Gotta let go. If you don't, you'll never spring forward to what is waiting for you. See you in college, but solely as Iniquity...

Before I slip away into the arms of unconsciousness for reasons unexplained
There are certain truths to be unearthed, as I’ve lost at playing the game.
Words may mean nothing, but yours have taught me more than I could have imagined for.
And despite their warnings, I have fallen as a victim to the innocence I dared to adore.

As you clean the fog off of my mirror of evidence, leading to treason,
Can you explain how a man holding on to his word is much more than a reason
But to ensure your season lasted more, and they wouldn’t wait outside your dorm door
Or on top of a hill with verbal annihilations to eviscerate your innocent thrill?

Be still my beating heart every time I wanted to help
Gaining chills at the thought of allowing someone else to be their own self.
Pathetic. Wishing all the best for you, as I sit writhing in silence
Or do I dare uncap the lid so Pandora can tell the truth of your vibrance?

They threatened violence against you, so I took to deflect the hits.
Even though unwarranted, at least no metal bat interrupted your kiss
But before I could check again, it seemed all my concerns lay strewn.
As you shot yourself in the foot, now the news will be coming soon.

So prepare. You asked me to keep this shielded from prying eyes.
I did. Broke bonds of trust when asked. But it’s all a pack of lies.
Don’t disguise your innocence, as it to the world you have fed.
Just know I kept my promise, and am taking your secret to my deathbed.

Forbidden Love...

D.O.I.'s Neologisms: Just feeling my way through again. Something's going down in California. A Sinkhole exists in Boston. I hate the beach. Friends don't exist when you need them the most. What's up with that? Why can't people live up to the messages they leave them for life? Yes, because their love is forbidden. I can't love you. They say I can't. Fuck what they say, though.

The ground beneath me shakes in denial
Ripping souls through bullet holes is not my style
My amorous appetite hasn’t filled up for a while
And my vocal cords, the emulation of a child

Will lay waste to this crooked road
Using weapons of truth that have been bestowed
Cracking under the debt and burden that I owe
My skin assimilates further as I lose my flow.

I’m forever predestined to keep on testing
They’re messing with my path and my body is stressing
Over their road that blares with sirens
To the penitentiary is where we’re firing

When I know damn well we’re so much higher than
This circle where we stay, I grow so tired
And each street-hopping lyric doesn’t get me inspired
Show me your knowledge or be engulfed by my ire!

You have to display where this love belongs
Or else locked in the radio playing the same song
Forget what you know, the dream has moved on
Even the rap mogul admits that he’s grown

Come find me again when responsibility is taken
And from these earthly chains we are shakin’
I’ll be raring from the stereotypes we’re brakin’
Daring to admit my freedom isn’t for the takin’

It’s golden with my name engraved
So from your destruction I emerge unscathed
I’m still mad as hell, but ready to fight back
Treading away from Sodom with my foot on a crack

Using a semblance of ingenuity with the force of a smack.
Sharing with you my dreams, but preparing to attack!

Impressive Instant

D.O.I.'s Neologisms: The image I present to you with this piece is not Abercrombie-centric or endorsed. It doesn't have divisions among the stomach and won't be projected on your billboards. It has trouble finding a place for itself on a beach full of confident bums. It's of a small kid, flaws and all, trying his best to have fun on a vacation, and thinking of a good way to introduce himself.

I’m contemplating another way to formally
Introduce the abnormally
Façade ripping, wall smashing
Conscious of what’s happening
Eradicator of the saddening
Willing to expand his scope
And range of friends to joke
About what they seem to dart around
Like if noting the obvious is seemingly profound

What I’ve found is the bass pounding
Is a part, but not the whole of my repertoire
After all, one quality doesn’t define who we are
Especially when the pioneer refers to everyone as a star
Including the ones who subdue under humility
And can’t show flesh for humiliating fear

But watch courageous souls take monumental leaps
Drawing nearer to the courage we keep
Further from the abstract, just chilling on the beach
Giving the finger to those in the past who leeched
Off of my self-confidence: no more singers
and too much skin-bleach

They try to defeat but end up resurrecting
The spirit whose only goal in life is dissecting
Why I’m so hung up on impressions
Demonstrating life lessons so this game I don’t question
And you don’t question whether or not to approach my being
Based on the pre-fabricated image you are seeing.

Like A Dream

It’s like a dream.
A heavenly melody drawing me closer to the streams
You’ve led to the seams of my door.
I’m still begging for more.

Though I want to without inhibition.
So I listen slowly to your touch controlling
Got my mind rolling, my friend, I am devoting.
Soaring on your wings of massages and forgiveness.
This is bliss.

An unending quest to be-long means belonging to
The patience you imbue and the
Trials we can’t undo.
Just laying with a smile on my face I’ve accrued
A sense of happiness to say “I do
like your company.”

Honestly
Waking up to a humble policy
We are so damn arbitrary,
As the tones of a canary
But you are my fairy. So lead me on

The search for the flower, strong it goes
I’ll throng my arms around you until you are my ghost.
So a toast to a relation no less than divine.
It’s like a dream now because the world is mine.

Confronting The Darkness

D.O.I.'s Neologisms: I just had a rare moment, where I was studying for a calc test. Suddenly, I felt the urge to punch something. I did so, but lyrically instead. This is unpolished, imperfect. And I've been feeling down and out of luck lately due to ignorant oppression. But that's exactly how I'll feel when I confront this elephant:

The elephant in the room is about to be shot
Time will tell all when I yell stop.
All your fears are about to “get got”
So strip them off, leave them in the parking lot.

I’m done being a robot to your social scheme.
Making me think I don’t matter like a dancing queen.
You show your desire to be as brave
As me who winds down in a conscious rave.

You must pay for your inept behavior.
Teens all over the world suffer from your danger
We are major and we’re gaining rights.
Don’t need pipes, just the will to fight.

Night has dawned, there’s nowhere to turn.
For your oppression, oh shall you burn.
The cult behind me will not further discern.
This lesson taught to us that you need to learn.

Forget what they planted in your feeble brain
A new day opens up with falling conscious rain
You’ve trained officials to command with pain,
But look around, bitch! We’re on to your game.

Hands held high, the darkness will cease
Hatred across the sky no longer released
I see your feet shaking, you’re no longer steady.
It’s a new world order, are you ready?

The elephant in the room is about to die.
50 million people no longer asking why.
Parents and friends, best friends of people
Call forth your divinity so we can live equal.

I see it forming. The new chain of life.
Down with destruction, end moral strife!
Gather all the hearts that have been broken
Take them to the light so they can open

And no longer be frozen. It’s a world full of love.
The one desired by those up above.

I wake up. It isn’t real.
Just a dream of a place where I can finally heal.
