The Red Woman Apr 2019
i'm tired of
sounding like a
cliché
but probably even more
tired
of the fact that it's normal
to feel
what i feel
and to experience
what i have experienced

People thought it only existed in fairy tales.
She found it cliché.
He brushed off the very thought of it.
But then it happened.
They happened.
We happened.
And we never expected it.

At the Indigo getting into it with an Indigo,
in Tulsa or at least en route after one more round in LA,
stuntin’ in The Land of Abundance all real no frontin’,
can get anything I want except getaway,

and this all feels totally cliche,
spending time but got no time to waste,
already at redline trying not to flatline,
catching up to made up deadlines and keeping pace,

trying to lose the stress without losing my mind,
trying to win the hearts and convince the minds,
trying to do everything without having to try,
only do and do not do you like you buy,

welcome to America,
consumerism on steroids,
where we empty our pockets to fill up our closets,
empty hearts with souls for sale anything to fill the void,

everything that was ever made sacred was destroyed,
now we’ve got black artists on the radio making white noise,
where are our idols how are we supposed to look up to anyone,
but sometimes I feel like there’s no escape and I have no choice,

so I buy in in order to not be left out,
get the girl get the clothes get the hotel room,
but really I don’t feel like any of this is mine,
plus I’ve got a place to be so I should go soon,

so long farewell,
I bid you my Love good day,
but before I go let’s go one more round,
for Old Time’s sake before I make my escape out of LA,

at the Indigo getting into it with an Indigo,
in Tulsa or at least en route after one more round in LA,
stuntin’ in The Land of Abundance all real no frontin’,
can get anything I want except getaway…

Writing about you
is my favorite cliché;
It's an error that I
will never ever omit.
it's always been you.

Perpetually lost
Figuratively stuck
Exhaustingly overworked
Disgustingly underpaid
Literally confused
Effortlessly cliche
Beautifully me
Sometimes it be like that

I'll tell you a story,
It's gonna be good.
A boy and a girl
Wishing for what they could,
Never have,
Even though they should.
And in the end
We know they would.
I'll tell you a secret.
But don't always believe it.
Life isn't like that.
It's not that easy.
People are broken,
And are never happy.
I'll tell you a lullaby,
I'll sing it for you.
It's better than all the lies.
But what can you do?
For every predictable book, movie, or whatever. Something unique would be good too. I don't just want any generic story. I want something different.
You're the socks on my feet
Every thread is a
Forgotten phrase
A redefining page
        You’re the blanket on the bed that I can never sleep without
The fibers to make it whole
The limbs
The organs
The very pulse that reminds me
That my heart is beating
         You’re the folded corner of a page of my favorite book on my nightstand dresser
The beginning
The middle
The end, not just a chapter but the whole book
The prequel
The sequel
The epilogue
A word that makes me believe there is sunshine everywhere
A phrase I will quote and repeat everyday
         You’re the one who makes me purely
Utterly
Completely
happy.
part of the sunshine collection.
