I know I’m not perfect
And I’ll never claim to be
I don’t put my emotions in the open
They tend to play hide n seek
I struggle to express myself verbally
But I hit it on the head with my pen
I press it to the paper and my soul opens
It’s how I’ve always been
It’s like my brain is always racin’
And the ink knows how to pace it
No erasin’, so be patient
I gotta point
And its the only way I can make it
I wish I could break it
This cycle, and just learn how to speak
Instead of lockin’ up
And using a pen and pad as the key
Nah fuck it, I embrace it
It’s the part of me that’s unique
And while you lie there asleep
And I’m up restlessly
I think of your dreams
And what you wish I could be
Meanwhile I’m stuck in reality
With thoughts branching out like a tree
Slappin’ words to the sheet
I’m a prisoner of my mind and a beat
