Crazy Joyride

For Kimani Mellers, Saturday, October 15,2016

As I lay in bed thoughts run through my head
I ‘m tired of parking cars for stars the prizefighter said
A mere clone of what I use to be you see
Words I've heard the voices of a banshee
Faded afterthought caused the flight of the bumblebee
My sense went on a mad shopping spree
My heart and soul always seem to disagree
For things happen in threes I guarantee

Silent cries from shadows passing by
I can't catch my breath without gasping I've tried
For answers, the questions no one is asking
For my mind, my soul is always harassing

I can't run and hide though I've tried
I don't want to go out like the evening tide
No more pep in my step I take a long stride
My sanity went for a crazy joyride
I hear you buzzing in my ear puppeteer
Your words ring out so loud and clear
Silence always quills my greatest fears
For all is never as it appears

I pass out when lights out for I fear I'm dreaming
Sadness turns to madness while angles are screaming
Not a moment of peace for the voices don't cease
I can't move but everything around me does
No a sip to my lips yet a feel a buzz
My stress is compressed causing me distress
Moments fleeting for phantoms I'm meeting
Lying in state post mortem died from boredom

Thoughts of hate contemplate its mad suicide
The world turns as it burns while planets collide
Babies born to weather the storm mad waves I ride
Wide eye cried shamelessly without a source of pride

I can't run and hide though I've tried
I don't want to go out like the evening tide
No more pep in my step I take a long stride
My sanity went for a crazy joyride
I hear you buzzing in my ear puppeteer
Your words ring out so loud and clear
Silence always quills my greatest fears
For all is never as it appears
