After Last Night
Inner Dialogue
my heart lay heavy this morn
constant reminders of my people's stagnance holds my breathe
all talk
shyt talk
behind closed doors and backs
its nothing personal
nothing at all
we not personal persons
is we?
we say this
and we say this some more
but we don't say that
and we don't do that
we don't do this either
we don't do doodoo
i already know this
i KNOW this
and that
still hurts
cause its still true
save yourself
save myself?
can you save yourself?
myself?
what about ...
YOURSELF!!!
can you save yourself???
if you cannot what hope is there for others???
save myself!!!
does that mean don't care?
no
what does that mean then?
when i save myself I'll let you know
you haven't saved yourself yet?
i'm still talking to you aren't i
but you said you'd let me know
i know what i said
should i believe you?
believe none of what you see and half of what you hear
how about what i feel
good question
whats the answer?
you should know, you asked it
i'm no better off than when i started
i know that feeling
did you believe it?
it was ... unbelievable
i don't know what to do
how to begin
so much emotion
so much concern
so little guidance
so little support
being all alone on a personal journey sure makes a strong person weak
i can't say its not fair
i can't say its not right
i can't say its not unoriginal
i can say i don't know what to say
or do
or think
or feel at this point
which direction to my walking papers
marching orders
am i to sit still until further directions?
can i sit still until further directions?
