Restless sleep

When you can’t sleep, count sheep
But the sheep don’t appear
The echoing of your name
Is the only thing I hear
In my mind, as if my brain
Vanishes, leaving an open space
Throughout the village of mountains
I hear the echo and in the snow I see your face

When you can’t sleep, count sheep
Still the sheep aren’t in sight
The fire in my mind that burns for you
During sleep, once again ignites
Toss and turn in restless sleep
To get close to you, I sometimes walk
In reality you’re not around
So why in my dreams, do you stalk?

When you can’t sleep, count sheep
But when I do, the sheep quickly turn
Into sweet memories of you
In restless sleep you need me
When I awaken, it’s not true

The Urge

Fighting back the urge The uncontrollable Unbearable, Urge ... The urge to not make the next move For my next move is supposed to be my best move Well, isn’t that true? What’s a girl to do? Do I call? Do I text? Do I text, do I call? Do I call, do I text? Please enlighten me on what to do next Feeling as though the mere thought Of, you Is pulling at a part of my heart that I refuse to let go Waiting on you to reach out to me Has me over here losing my control As my story begins to unfold Lies in my head are told “I’m okay” That maybe just maybe I am better off “This way” Then maybe I’m just crazy and I shouldn’t be so soft I scoff, as I cough appearing at a lost For words, better yet for thoughts all together When I stepped out and took this leap of faith I just knew that this time would be better Yet I find myself sitting here all alone once again Trying to hold it all together Thoughts of you that ring true Has her throbbing, she’s becoming wetter And ...

The Weight

I could feel the weight of her world upon my shoulders Yes, upon my shoulders the weight of her world I flashback to once upon a time when I was a little girl Brought into this world by a mother and a father My mother and my father I was brought into this world A world that was created by my Father A world that was created long before my birth Long before my delivery, a time before my worries You know they say to practice what you preach And I teach, I was taught from birth to love Yet, at times I feel that love doesn’t love me back Instead, the kind of love that I attract is the kind of love that attacks And smacks and hurts and bruises one’s ego Making you second guess your first thought And ignore your second and third thoughts Makes you at times question your whole entire existence A lot of pieces of my heart, tend to be missing So yes, I could feel the weight of her world upon my shoulders For I, for I, me, I am not getting younger, yet older I feel paranoid, ...

Supporters

Supporters are going to support while the haters are going to hate but while the haters are busy hating I won't let them disturb my fate you see I have a dream just as anyone else Whose goal is to be successful and it should seem that the new me I am better than my old self which is helpful We hustle and we grind already with fear of failure clouding our minds In a place where to be liked or to get a single like is simply too much for someone's time Putting more emphasis on the negativity in one's life Where the measure of positivity gets lack of accolades and fails to compare in the struggle to applaud what's right Understand that it isn't just about me It's about him and him and them and we Together building a future to keep us off these streets To make sure and ensure that they have more than enough food to eat More than enough knowledge to speak more than enough love to keep to be restless and sleepless and unable to ...
