Problem

Come and solve it

By savage writerPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

Baby, I want to be free

That is my birthright

Be one with the trees, grass

Oxygen, animals

Divinity is in me

Not the sky, I refuse to accept it

Baby, I want to be myself

It’s what I been sent here to do

Must follow the blueprint

and not do anything das’

opposite, dat’ isn’t the way for me

Even if I must be casted

with societal stones and

looked down upon

by everyone I’ve ever known

A higher power will

nurture me, I must trust you

I must confide in your

abilities, at the same token

Still need to progress with my endeavors

Bettering myself at the art of

writing and memorization

I can’t stand the educational system,

professors wanting to

keep my brain static

Am I really learning?

Guess not

I’m jotting in my

notebook when I should be

paying attention in class,

what is it that

I’m lookin’ for in the first place?

Baby, I want out of the matrix

Now I see why my social media

doesn’t buzz like everyone else’s

Said this in a different project,

I snapped the illusion

I’ve realized that there is more to my

life than memes and retweets

Everyone hides behind a screen

It could go dark tomorrow

and all your self-worth will vanish

It’s your only sense of it, am I reaching?

In a fit of rage, panicking like

“WHAT JUST HAPPENED

TO INSTAGRAM???”

Baby, I want to make it

I don’t care what my family think

I don’t care what my “friends” think

I don’t care what my “followers” think

I don’t care what these females think

I don’t care what society think s

I’m doing what I do for Eternal Master

The hell with everyone I just said above

And if you got a problem, meet me on the

Southside and then we could talk about it
