I opened up her throat and inside was a safe
I opened up the safe and inside were her bags

I opened up the bottle and inside was a stream
I opened up the stream and inside were the stones

...that place...
I’ve been hitting the gym hard, but haven’t had the loot to eat like I need to eat to lose weight. Then again, prisoners get swole on 3hots and a bunch of bullshit. I’ve been trying to keep this logo thang going, but nobody wants to pay me. Doesn’t stop folks from asking for my work though. Either I’m not good as I think I am, or folks are just cheap…maybe...

collage student: GIWW: overheard conversation →
justku:
Soooo I admit I was off my game as far as overheard convo goes, either I forgot to listen in or nothing stood out to me so I think I’m going to choose a statement from a list of statements I jotted down awhile ago when I had a journal assignment to record overheard conversation….“We were raised…

It’s fucked up when you’re together and alone what’s the purpose? Trying to struggle it out for reasons that make sense when you heart them out because if you think about the best move, it damn sure isn’t what you’re doing now. can’t call it abusive unless you rock with self abuse, then maybe that works or maybe it’s not as bad as you think, maybe...

GIWW-5 objects turned poem
[Laptop, Whipped Butter, speaker, blanket, paper] This laptop saves my cool because for each keystroke that you’ve seen stroked there are a countless amount that would have left me naked, and then you’d see it all

Time is flying off the faces of clocks, sliding out of their frames
dripping down the walls and under the cracks of doors into the shadows
I saw some pass me the other day, ran down fragmented concrete
I couldn’t catch it if I wanted, but in some other…

Get it WRITE WEDNESDAYS!
Prompt of the Day - Write a poem using the following start: “What good is a day…”
What good is a day when a week isn’t enough?
When a month doesn’t help you
and the year is too tough?

Just saw Yo Gotti’s video for Single…um, Weezy already did that song no?
WHAT is the appeal of Waka Flocka? He admits he’s not a good rapper…and makes rap songs…and folks buy it. Pick an analogy, it’s just like that.
I’m officially getting old, I moved the living room around yesterday, and I’m still sore 24hrs later after drugs and a sits bath.
