Long time no blog

It wouldn't be fair if I were to just jump back into this blogging business without something special. I mean...it has been a long time since my last one. Can't say that I was busy...or can I? Oh well....lets get to business

More nights than few I have some trouble sleeping. Whether its getting to sleep, staying asleep, or even falling back to sleep most time I have the opportunity to quietly listen to my thoughts.

I had an interesting weekend last week, which I think was the cause of my insomnia and my pondering thoughts. As I lay in the dark with thoughts racing through my mind my head was a breeding ground for rubber tires and overexcellerated engines...I came up with this.

Enjoy.

CAN YOU HEAR ME?
Sometimes I wanna SCREAM MY PRAYERS JUST SO YOU CAN HEAR ME.
Most times just magnify them on a billborad so you'll see them more clearly
At times when even I believve my prayers are much too iffy,
I'm still praying my prayers could one day still be.
Sometimes i wanna SCREAM MY PRAYERS SO I CAN HEAR THEM TOO.
many times hald believing that at least one prayer will go through.
Almost convinced my voice will echo all the way up to you,
Ignoring the many, just like me, that are much greater than the few.
Sometimes I wanna SCREAM MY PRAYERS JUST SO THEY CAN REST IN THE SKY.
Most times believing that's where they'll stay, but constantly questioning why.
At times it feels good to wonder the height my prayers will fly,
Almost convinced the louder i scream the harder to decide my prayer to deny.
CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?

The Rapper

Whats funny about this poem is that I wrote it a couple of days ago (I'm posting this tues, not sunday). And today this dude made a major attempt to get back in.
I can't speak on how I will react as of yet because my mind is going in too many different ways.
What I do know is that he had a piece of me that broke off like an old umbilical cord (didn't know that was spelled that way)
Anyways...lol, enjoy
Today I thought about how you used to rap to me.

It was cute but I kept it real low key.

then I thought about if what you said was just a rap.

Just some more lines.

Just a few bars,

Maybe you were just spitting a couple of verses.

Maybe
I saved this in my drafts because I was going to add to it, but, damn. after today I think its fine the way it is for now.
