2day I Rise

clench your shades...

By savage writerPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Please forgive me

I must rebel against the sand

that has made my toes

uncomfortable for so long

I must level the

field stolen from

my ascendants which was

mishandled for so long

I must bring realness to a

simulation where all the

foliage is fabricated

Loss shaped me indefinitely,

I’ve changed and am

now owning up to it

Recite a statement to me

about mental imprisonment

Recite a statement to me

about systematic adversity

Recite a statement to me about

frequently being in

states of emergency

Suicide’s ass was kicked at both

10 and 19 but I’ve been exposing

tragedies long before

they became trending

Mistake me for a

clout chaser, tuh

Think again homies

I been exposing

tragedies long before

they became trending

Don’t try to tell me ish then

What shattered Khali?

Misguidance, possibly

Emotional friction, possibly

Inadequacy, again

Possibly

Aye, look tho

Life had to be life so savage

could cherish the purity of an

art only a few

individuals could master

Please forgive me

I had to box more

kush to the face

despite mentioning how I’d

slow down last week

Invested like

Warren Buffett yet

living more like

Rocky Balboa before

the fight against Apollo

Moms don’t even know

about the liquid I put away

I wouldn’t expect anyone

to until I deem it right to reveal so

People only reach out to Khali

whenever I’m in their mentions

Case in point

Prolificity came at an expense

No, Karen

Money wasn’t the answer,

credit wasn’t the answer

No, Mikey

Follower count wasn’t

the answer either, ay

I been going blank

for three months

Safe to say that

break has concluded

Smoking off the pen,

smoking off the keys

2020, what else have

you reserved for me?
