Ain't Got Long

I'M EGO TRIPPING

I am the addict
Desiring with needs
Burning with the desire to held and loved.
Words control the lust to be desired
I feel passion between verse
I am the voice within
With a thirst to be heard.

I am the darker sister
Whose words are
As sensitive as her skin

Where gifted words

Disguises its meaning inside

I am the voice within

Flowing aluminous words
Into meaning
As
Sand flows
Through loose fingers.
My love for you as crazy
the voice within

Often taken for granted

My words reveal no lies

But tell the true meaning of
Loss, pain, anger, and grief

I am the addict
Desiring with needs
Burning with to be desired
I feel passion
With a thirst to be heard
I am the voice within
Words of innocence

Morning space and time

Of an aesthetic value often misunderstood

I am the voice behind these words

I am the addict
Desiring with needs
Often mistaken for self-hate

In its true essence, the voice within

The voice within is challenged

Seeking, finding, searching

For its own identity to breath

No, I'm not ego tripping
I am the addict
Desiring with needs
Often mistaken for self-hate

In its true essence, the voice within
I'm just keeping it real
I am the addict
Desiring with needs
Often mistaken for self-hate, the voice within

In its true essence
I am the poem
I am the addict
Desiring with needs
Often mistaken for self-hate

In its true essence
Who challenges thought
This is crazy - the voice within
Within hope and loss
Within love and pain
Within happiness and anger
Are the words I speak of empathy I am the voice within

I ain't got long
