Lyrics in Motion

Moon in Gemini

The Messenger

Thoughts meet paper,

Now they are real

Tear stained face,

Shows how I feel

Starving for something,

Something unknown

Searching and wandering

Just skin and bone

Beaten and bruised,

Towing the line,

An open grave,

What if it’s mine?

Wanting to live,

Be peaceful and free

Bleeding my heart,

For all to see

Suffered a loss,

Loss of myself,

Lost so much more,

I lost everything else

Pen and paper,

Notes and books,

Spilling some secrets

Now they’re all hooked

Truth or Dare?

Dare I say?

All of the truth

All over this page

Doing the right thing

Honest and kind

That’s only got me

Left far behind

Keeping my silence

Nothing to say

Bury the hatchet

For better I pray

Screaming in silence,

No sound comes out

Writing for healing

Shedding the doubt

Flying not falling,

Flying with style

Times I can’t see it

Screaming denial

Back to a place,

Alone in the dark

In that dark place,

Scars left their mark

Marks of hate,

Marks of shame

Sounds in the dark

Screaming your name

Afraid of the monster,

Under my bed

When lights go out,

Moments we dread

I defeated the monster,

I made it my bitch

Now he’s my bestie

Call me Witch?

Misunderstood,

Warrior will

Fight for the truth

The blood that we spill

Fighting a cause

Something worthwhile

Worth all the effort

Leg work for miles

Ghosts in the mirror

Poems on shelves

Words on the wall

From my former self

“You’re smart and you’re kind,

You’re brave and you’re sweet”

Gonna need to be Gangsta,

Out on these streets

Message from future,

Preparing my path

A note to myself

Doing the math

Calculate time

Multiply money

Solving for X

Lips just like honey

Decipher this code

One In A Million

Now the new worth

Over a Trillion

Flying through space,

Astral drifting

In the drop top

You know I be shifting

Switching the lanes,

Changing my style

Got ideas for days,

And back-up for miles

Zero to 60

Record time

Now everyone knows

That was all mine

Original thoughts

Words that I said

Swimming around,

and around in my head

Pen to paper

Words into form

Clouds in the sky

Beginning to storm

Rain on the windows

Droplets on roses

Grabbing my camera

Digging the poses

Pain into art

Lyrics in motion

Boats setting sail

Waves of the ocean

Lightning and thunder

Rocket ship landing,

I wanted to thank you

For understanding

End of the sentence

End of the page

Taking a bow

At center stage
