there lives a rattlesnake
he is cunning
his tail is wagging

evolution has made him
your enemy
watch out for the bite
Elijah Almond May 2014
do you remember where your hole is
or are you praying as you dodge and weave?

how bad will it be if caught
how harsh will the bite be?

keep running rabbit
it's an endless race
Elijah Almond May 2014
as I hide who I really am
the dance continues

smile

you're on the eyes of everyone around you
Elijah Almond May 2014
walk across the garden of deception
be afraid of the roses
they have a magic
but it's not meant for you
Elijah Almond May 2014
they're quiet
they expect something from you

your mind is on you
you can't possibly know what they want

you want to please
you can't possibly know the words to say

they're quiet
they expect something from you

asking them to speak up
only makes them quiet down
for my old best friend. not the best sharer emotionally  in the world
Elijah Almond May 2014
boom!

ideas flow off my head
like a light being lit
I say what needs to be said
I'm tired of the fake ****

we're all dying
waiting for the end
if we are to start living
we must begin
Elijah Almond May 2014
i struggle with the keys
i struggle with me

a fierce exists there though

hiding
but
its everywhere in me

i keep going
because the only direction

is forward
