i'm a walking question mark
i sense people getting tired
of my incessant remarks
about clarity and rhyme
in a pinch i'm just a girl
never walk top of the world
but damn if i don't dream
my mind going at full steam
i relive the past and then
say fuck you to all the men
though it ain't too hard to see
the one full of shit is me
and i feel sometimes sublimed
by the thoughts of other minds
my eyes always point inside
but my ears i can't internalize
when i'm doing something raw
sliding, gliding on a flow
i am purposefully blind
so as to avoid the tides
i claw my way up, glimpse the light
something draws me right back down
guess i'll have to enemify
parts of myself that make me drown
i think what i think about thinking is no joke
it prevents the lighter soar
the bitter fall
the explosion that takes place inside
at the thought of your reply
i dream full stories with backgrounds
my head close to the floor is what brought the sounds
