Jamitupyerbutt

I’m running in placeI’m stuck on rewindSlowly fading and fadingChained to the grind Running like crazyBut going nowhereI’m feel like a circleThat’s stuck in a square Day in, day outI smile, and I shrugThis life that I liveIt’s worse than a drug Something is missingI...

It Was Love That Set Me Free

It Was Love That Set Me Free

Standing on that ledge, I look down.A thousand thoughts rush through my mind Tearing me apart, I know not what to thinkShould I listen, should I not? Think, think, think, think.Is this fear or just a passing wind within my mind?I try to see, but love is blind! Is it...

Unboxed Dreams

Unboxed Dreams

I watch the distant sunsetFrom the bars of my own cellMy imagination’s turned to dustIn my discomfort I be well Faintly lit candle lightIt’s dim light I barely tellCold and empty just like stoneI hide beneath my shell Opportunities I’ve lostDo I hear a distant bell?It...

I’m not just a book on a shelf

I’m not just a book on a shelf

I can’t be who you want me to beBut I can be myself!I am who I am, and that’s all there isI’m not just book on a shelf I have my own storyI have my own plotI am my own characterI am who I’m not I fill my own pagesWith my very own wordsI’m me to one hundred percentNot...

What is love if not…

What is love if not…

What is love but a feelingA warm flame that lights the darkEuphoria, fueled by my imaginationAn endless voyage upon a barque Captain of my own journeyI sail across this sea called lifeSearching for that feelingA replacement for my strife What is love but a wordThat...

It’s Not About Me

It’s Not About Me

How selfish of meTo think god designs my destinyHe designs the worldA world we tread carefully I’m not but one pieceA part of his receipeLike psithurismJust a note in his melody A phrase in his novelA drop in his chemistryI’m just another jealous thoughtIn a world...

Take Me Home

Take Me Home

If one day you take my lifeBefore I'm free to roam,I will know, it was becauseYou needed me back home Until that day I knowThat one day we will meetFor now I guide the braveAs I walk on my own feet I know where I belongFor I am not my ownI ask the stars to waitReserve...

Do We Bleed The Same?

Do We Bleed The Same?

Sometimes I wonderDo we bleed the sameMy cuts seem to hurt moreMy cuts seem to stay You say that you bleedThat you feel the same wayBut don’t show any hintNo thread and no fray All blood is redBut it’s not the same hueFeels like I’m bleeding forever,When I’m thinking...

Your Fake Little Life

Your Fake Little Life

You live a false lifeIn your fake worldBut it’s not hard to seeThat your truth is swirled You’re playing the partSo let’s play pretendYou’re walking a roadA road with no end You chase after trendsYou want to be seenBut you move like a pawnA pawn far from the queen It...

Where Are We Running

Where Are We Running

Out of siteNot out of mindWe’re runningBut not out of time Where are we goingWhere have we beenStuck to a mapLike a red little pin I want this to mean somethingLet’s push past the brinkWe’re running togetherBut not running in sync Our feet are on fireAs we chase after...

Falling

Falling

I am surrounded by friends, but I feel alone.I search for myself, only to find that I am lost. I still possess courage to fall in love,Yet I’m blind to the risk of not feeling anything at all. I wait my turn for life to take me away,and as it does, I tell myself...

Angel Without Wings

Angel Without Wings

Fallen from the skyGentle you landLike an autumn leafBlowing in the wind I feel I could crumbleWith every step I takeBut your calming smileMakes me feel at home I didn’t know what to doI didn’t know what to thinkNor could I see What you asked me to see The world...

I’ll Be There, Even When I’m Not

I’ll Be There, Even When I’m Not

You look at me like thatWhisper in my earWe know how it well endUntil then I hold you near I beg you not stopGentle breathing on my neckYou beg me not to goI guess we’re headed for a wreck Your hair against my cheekI hear your gentle voiceWe both don’t want to knowWe...

She Lost Her Purse

She Lost Her Purse

I met this girlSo different then the restHer eyes water blueHer whit full of zest She had a pretty smileAnd a pretty set of breastsBut she was also really smartI was totally impressed Why not take her outAnd give this girl a testOn our way we wentA night I can’t...

Our Love is Digital

Our Love is Digital

Bored as fuckI’m done and I’m throughI’m out with my friendsBut I’m thinking of you You left me on readI’m checking my phoneBut you don’t replySo I sit here alone You’re seeing my storiesAnd liking my postsDon’t answer my callsYou’re just like a ghost Would we have...

Chewed Up & Spit Out

Chewed Up & Spit Out

Chewed up and spit outI don’t give a fuckLike the short end of a stickI’ve run out of luck Stepped on and tarnishedI’ve been through it allI’m friends with the devilI break and I fall Beat down and scaredI don’t give a damnI’ll keep going and goingUntil I’m am who I...

High Strung

High Strung

My mind is racingI am beading with sweatDead is the soul Who wants to forget Drunk in the madnessCan’t remember your faceJust another memoryLost in its place I must carry on As I come undoneWith bloodshot eyesI’ve barely begun Pain set asideMy hands in my hair...

Finding My Way Home

Finding My Way Home

Squirming in my own skin I get this feeling that I don’t belong I tell myself to let goBut I’m still holding on I’ve travelled and I’ve searched For a place to call my ownI’ve cried and I’ve laughed Yet I haven’t found my home I’ve learned and I’ve prayed I found love...

I Came Here To Win

I Came Here To Win

Noise from the crowdI hear the bell ringI feel like an antIn front of a king Dancing for timeIt’s not really fairBut I’ve made the climbI’m finally there I’m not going backI’m not going homeI came here to claimMy rightful throne Born in a ghettoI gave this my allYears...

The Morning After The Storm

The Morning After The Storm

It’s the morning after the stormAn unexplainable sereneCalm after violent rage I wonder where she’s been She’s swept away all that’s badAnd everything betweenBeads of sweat run down my chest There's a superstitious pristine As if she’s catching her breathe After a...

My Escape From The Fire

My Escape From The Fire

Every minute that passes
Is a minute I expire
Like a ticking time bomb
In this raging fire

Inside me lies a wonder
If what I’m doing’s right
Is it what was meant for me
Are my secrets worth the fight
