But I'm going to go ahead and read some poems.
This one's untitled but--
I leave the world without a trace, I'm gone.
Traveled the lighted tunnels into space,
got to leave this place.
I doubt you'll even remember my face.
Time after time I've been replaced.
Now, I got to make my escape.
Better late than never, I face my fate.
I walk the sky, I walk the clouds, nothing to stop me.
The pain in my life couldn't drop me.
Pulling your gun quick, you better pop me.
The devil chasing but he still ain't got me.
Shout out to the ones who forgot me,
they're the ones who really taught me how strong I can be.
They rather have me believe that I'm tarnished and weak.
I see them cringe as I begin to speak.
But life's never been more clear.
I survived off of their fear.
Why else am I here?
Don't want nobody to cry, too many of my people
died before their time or was it?
Hate my life then I love it.
Nope, nobody does it better than me.
I'm asking, can you see me?
Twisted plot in the end.
Would they laugh or tell stories about me?
Guess y'all got to wait and see with your hazy memory,
maybe you'll have them believe I was lost, yet I was really free.
Or maybe I was on top of the world
and nobody could get me down.
Our circle remains round.
Losing pieces all my life, they're finally found.
Nobody can take that away from me.
Stories or stories, nobody was there when I was at my lowest,
so was I really low?
I'm unstoppable just like the rivers that flow.
Just know I was here and I left a mark and that was enough.
Managed to live even when it was rough, my heart a little
scuffed but it still beats.
Spirit of a warrior, we are born and rise to the sun,
awake to the sun and journey to the sun in the end, which isn't
an end, just a new beginning.
Until the next rendezvous, carry your heart when it falls,
don't leave it behind because you'll need it.
