I wanna write
Til its late at night
I wanna
tell the world
How once
I was hurled

Into this fate
that couldn’t wait
every time I write
it’s not
black in white

It could be
for you
It could
be for me
But whatever it is
I can’t let it be

Some say its passion
Some say it’s cashin’
Some say its flashin’
brutal
tongue lashings

who wants it
as bad
as bad as me
there doesn’t seem
to be
anyone
in love with me

that doesn’t have to keep me
from my dreams

there is a rhyme
that is out of time
I like to think
of it
as only mine

Something that shines
That I designed
Something from the mind
Not from the vine

Something I need
Something I bleed
Maybe it’s something
That I
must concede

it only takes a spark
alone in the dark
I wanna drive
all night
‘round the
metaphor park

does it exist
maybe in bliss
maybe a fading
of the ............ (censored myself)

I took all the losses
one human could take
Kissed all the crosses
And prayed
I wouldn’t wake
But every time I did
As a little kid
I’d run to the pen
And get rid of the ache

It’s a therapy
It takes care of me
And if it’s good or bad
It’s always there for me

Sometimes I hate it
But I think that I’m fated
To be the kind of poet
That never will be sated

I wanna write
Til its late at night
I wanna
tell the world
How once
I was hurled

Into this fate
that couldn’t wait
every time I write
it’s not
black in white

I know somehow
I gotta pay the bills
I never once was out
looking for thrills
Matter of fact
I’d like to
make out my will

I got nothing
And its fine with me
Sometimes there’s more
Than you think that you see
Tell it to my lady
Who is screaming at me

But how can I work
To get the water heated
When this song is
so far from completed

Doesn’t believe in me
Like I wish she would
All the girls online
Think my poems are good

But that’s not true
I take a step back
I wouldn’t take a lady
If my life’s not on track

So I’ll be alone
til my day is done
then I’ll be carried off
to the setting sun

I hope that the world
Can take the
weight from me
I think I’ll be so heavy
You won’t be able to see

The sun blotted out
From the ink that I draw
I’m floating on the clouds
And I hope that you saw

The last words that I wrote
Swirled into the sea
There might be an ocean
But this wave is for me

I wanna write
Til its late at night
I wanna
tell the world
How once
I was hurled

Into this fate
that couldn’t wait
every time I write
it’s not
black in white... (fade)
