I’ve never wrapped My mind around Making you feel Seen, heard, and found I didn’t know

I’ve written things and said some… Wagged my tongue and tripped over… Flapped my gums 'til blue in the f… Never a clue how to win the race Huffed and puffed and circumstance…

Each moment at hand Is open invitation To the promised land

Just being yourself Is the absolute best way To show the world love

There’s one thing I’ve never had in my life And I feel I’d regret Not tasting the spice It’s lean, it’s mean

Elaborate mazes Of conjured phrases Tickle the ear Of literary peers But don’t read the type

I embrace your wild side And all that it entails Presence, passion, overkill And dirt beneath my nails

I was born for this Reflexes like a puss Even when I’m pissed

My parents threw me to the pits When I was just a little kid That’s why I only know the cold And loving touch is stranglehold

I have a grip that’s never loose That’s why I always get my goose I dig my claws into your soul Until I’m your silver and gold

Don’t give me your heart I can’t bear that pain Being lonely hurts less Than giving you my name

Ev’rything about my life Tells me that you’re poison If you’ve ever heard of me You know I don’t listen

Jonathan and Jordan Sitting in a tree M-u-s-s-i-n-g First comes souls Then comes mates

I don’t see much the future I don’t remember past I only know this present A gift, that too, shall pass

I’ve driven self along my quest I think it might be time for rest To take steps back and then assess What it might mean to be my best
