knowing you're going to win
but still have to take that last swing

your arm is hurting
but you're relying on it for everything

the blood in your teeth
the look in your eye

they know you're not afraid to die

it scares them all
in their hearts
playing in their face

they know you're the evolution
of the human race
inspired by a new friend
Elijah Almond May 2014
the room is comfy
the bed is comfy

you're trying to decide what to do
staring at the walls any longer
just doesn't seem right

stare
think
stare

water your plant
try to think of ideas
to somehow save yourself

he sits alone
he rests alone

asleep alone
awake alone

dancing to tunes
with a fiddle only he can play

he plays all the hits
just like a game

your move, world
I'm still here
about my mirror

the long walk
back in the heat

a 100, 000 car honking at you
when the walk sign is clearly on

entitled feeling people yelling
you have choice except feeling

each foot in front of the next
understanding basic traffic rules

they are the one who is stealing
Elijah Almond May 2014
you're still breathing
so check
just to be sure

anger lives around
it plays in our backyards
check your hands

are they shaking?

what do you do?
when it's hiding behind you?
when it sneaks up on you?
Elijah Almond May 2014
oh, you tricky
tricky
tricky

you think I don't see
I see more than you know

step up your game
your tactics are getting obvious

left to right
right to left
up
down
up down

over again
the two I can rely on
left to right
right to left

good catch!
about teaching both hands to work together
