Ishtar the Cat Wakes Up In a Sweat
i dreamt i was a buddhist, but
it turned out i was wrong...
...i'm only just a house cat
that has slept a teense too long,
and now i'm just awaking...
...what a funny state i'm in!...
i dreamt i was a buddhist monk...
when did that dream sneak in?...
where do i get these crazy views?...
it's really very strange
when i sleep on a couch all day,
and live so out of range
of any eastern thought beliefs...
...where do i get the gall
to meditate, and be a flower
while rolled up in a ball?...
i dreamt i was a buddhist, but
it turned out i was wrong...
...i'm only just a house cat
that has slept a teense too long,
and now i'm just awaking...
...what a funny state i'm in!...

Slack i Salessie
I can’t let go
How selfish can I be
But I just can’t let go
You mean the world to me
And it’s breaking my heart
To know I have to say goodbye
I even know how much you suffer
But I still want you to stay
I can’t think what it would even be without you
And I can’t help but want you to stay
I know it’s selfish of me
But I hope you could understand
But it’s ok to go
Where I know you will be in peace
One day we shall meet again
It’s not You it’s Me
It’s not you
It’s me
I said.
It’s not you who always gives in
It’s me.
It’s not you who always pays up
It’s me.
It’s not you who likes to socialise with other people in a healthy way
It’s me.
It’s not you who had an affair because it was such fun and felt more exciting than staying in with a faithful love
It’s me.
It’s not you who walked away leaving a sweet, innocent woman heartbroken and devastated.
It’s me.
I’m sorry.
No matter the amount of notability.
Your writings have capabilty.
To either hurt or inspire peoples ability.
Your writings have huge impacts on other writers.
Songwriters, screen writers, and even your smiters.
Your writings can even make your future brighter.
Be careful as a writer, don’t protray as a liar.
If you act different than the way you spell.
In absolute darkness you will dwell.
Gobbled up by the lies you tell.
Then put in a bottomless prison cell.
Big writers can be in deep trouble in just a second.
Going from legend to a person to be reckoned.
Make sure you don’t fall and learn a lesson.
That liars don’t get far, in their writings fake essence.
My Lane
I'm in my lane, use to my pain
Shaking off stains, scars remain
Never been the same since
My grandma passed away
She was my anchor in these storms
Now I'm blown away
Fighting to stay sane
Questioning everything
Authority is boring but a strain
Lock me in a cage for medicating off label
No fable, true stories in my veins
Too true for my own good, never stable
Never stable this stubborn mustang
Too many years of thoughtless pain
Buck for no reason or the rain
Only thing stays the same is everything changes
I'm in my lane, strap to my brain
Wait, I've got so much more to relate
Never pull the trigger
I'm use to my pain it's just the paint
On the walls of my yesterdays
These days my lips curve into a smile more
Got my momma back need nothing more
Well, maybe just palm treed shores
A little bit of peace between the storms
Either way make it out a little stronger
New layer added to my armor
Tell my momma no more drama
Just the fast lane with no delays
Bullet proofed all my cars
Just in case that shit changes
Rather be safe than sorry
Ask for forgiveness before permission
I'm an eighties baby in remission
Flipping pages; making revisions
Make sure it's perfect before I deliver it
My own worst critic I hate my shit
That's probably why no ones heard of it
Been in my own lane so long
Seeing another whip is unnerving
So excuse me if I stray from dotted lines
Got a lot of things on my mind
Gotta get home, feeling sober I
Need the weed just to feel normal things
Use to my pain but numb from its sting
Blaze a little herb lay a couple verbs and adjectives
Attitude, don't intrude on my vibe
Am I really alive or dying to live?
Feeling ill from all the lies they give
I still regurgitate truth as fire
In tune to the masses from the class
Of empty glasses, we refill them
Strayed into my lane no skidding
Just hit it all head on, so convincing
Folks think I don't need anything
But the hole in me is deepening
A black hole of desire, no reasoning
Addictions could still kill me I know this
I'm in my pursuit of happiness
Need my bic to spark my Bliss, my cannabis
In my lane I never swerve
From the land of savages
My pain has become a sword
That I use to slay, my words can be abrasive
So I stay in my lane
To protect others from my pain
It's ingrained in my brain
Hieroglyphic cave wall paint
I'm no saint but I show restraint
Faded but I'm straight,
One hand out the window other on the wheel
Staying in my lane
Praying for my enemies
Cause I know that hate is not worth the energy
And I got so much untapped love inside of me
A geyser of wiser diviner metaphors
That use me as vessel for remembering
Till I'm enslaved to the scribbling
Of cyphers I've been dissecting
An intellectual into dissenting
I'm in my lane venting
Pray I make it home in one piece
Till then seeking peace till I rest in pieces
