I’m not sure how I’ve come this f… From sinking pit to shooting star. Could it be when I loved my scars… Or when I chose to be this bard? Maybe, it happened, as a lark.

Always lived a life that’s been Filled with devils, marked by sin Never thought my darker side Be the thing that brings you light

We were having the time of our liv… Two friends seeking joy We bonded over the basest things Doughnuts, kerosene, and Playboys

Told you that we’d last forever Told you that we’d always be Told you we could count on never How could I be so naive Only those that want a tether

Relinquish control Let the Universe have space To exceed expectations

Embrace the darkness It’s the only way That your light can shine

Go ahead Do your thing I’m waiting With open wings

You ever seen A sky so blue Picture heaven In perfect hues Makes you think

I’ve never known The salve of rest I’ve only felt Drums in my chest And when I think

Mom and Dad don’t love you They’re already tuned To their own sweet song Fireflies in June You are just an extra

I made a food forest today To play my part and play the game To carve my niche, to stake my cla… And forge a path to not be slave

I knew I loved you When I looked in your eyes Recollection of places Not seen in a while Bright, sunny, and free

Ain’t no mountain high Ain’t no valley nigh When you’re in my sights

Wish I was a shepherd With a flock of sheep Sitting on a hillside Grass beneath my feet Watching over loved ones

I have no tricks. I have no sleeves. I have only me. And that’s enough.
