Delusional & Diluted

If ignorance is bliss, intelligence is insanity

Nuanced with the ruthless

Lately I been a nuisance

I’ve been steady skewing truths

While under the influence

Liquid makes these words so fluid

& those lies way too fluent 

Considered nothing but a truant to love

I gave you my heart

But it just isn’t enough

It’s prudent that I’m understood

I’m too smart to be the student

Director of my dreams

Excuse me I might be lucid

Can persistence make me stupid?

Always say I’m in the know

But know I really just been clueless

Foolish to the prejudice

& thoughts of what’s next

Distressing consciousness

& the thoughts of what’s best 

I dig deep in my chest

To find you hiding in my heart 

Solely just art therapy

It doesn’t matter where to me 

As long your here with me 

Couldn’t rewrite our history

I been reminiscing yesterdays

I know they weren’t better days

They make me who I am today

Temptations attempt to lead me astray

Relate it to my faith

I get the best out the worst

Know that I been flipping evil days

Discombobulating fate

In the face of discrimination

I’ve been dealing with my demons

Know the darkness is my beacon

I’ve been dreaming of an Eden

But there’s been a change of season

In lieu of all the treason

I need a reason to believe

Thought I had the perfect fit

It seems it’s tearing by the seams

Wow....amazing write. So many people want to make a point one sided and stilted and it sounds like whining. But this has all the elements of understanding, hope, false justice and a need to find the real meaning. You are absolutely right about this three steps forward, five steps back s**t that’s happening right now, it’s sad and shameful. You have a stinging social comment wrapped in hard hitting words. Loved this alot!
