Time

I saw myself in you and I loved you blindly I made the music of Ray Charles.But you see, you changeYou change with the got damn timeEvery second, every minuteevery hour, every day, every week every month every yearevery decade every centuryevery thousand years, every millennium you changeand baby I'm here to tell you I am tired of changing who I am to fit who you are. You-- you constantly change and I am tired of the changes because baby it's driving me crazy I can't keep up.And frankly I don't want to I love who I am and no matter what you want me to be I'm satisfied.I am all I want to be. Your changes started to make me doubt who I am until I realized it wasn't me it was you it was you always you. Always confused, confusing made me question who I was I got tired of controlling myself to fit in your box. And once I realize that I'm bigger than that got damn box that's when I started to love myself.I am not your piece of dough that you can just stretch, and pull and break and toss and roll and smash and demolish.
I am beautiful, and I am complex and I deserve the room to grow and thrive and prosper, but I can't do that with you.And I finally have the strength to say goodbye I separated myself from your ever, ever changing existence.

27 Seconds

A 27 second dream deferred
Starts out in the mind
Detoured from reality
Killed by the dream killer
Never brought to life to be
Exposed to the world
The idea killed by its own creator
Before anyone knew
fear, self esteem, pride and hope
All knew before hand
This 27 second dream
could have been the thought that saved someones life
Who knows
It could have been the cure to cancer
The answer to end poverty
The solution to end pollution
The power to save the financial crisis
real answers to real problems
27 seconds has changed my life and can change yours too
27 seconds tick tock going away
This 27 second dream could have been yours or mine
25,26,27 
27 seconds tick tick going away
