Alvin Willis

I never wanted to be your best
Cause it felt like it was a test

And I didn’t want to be a choice
...

Run with me
so that i can hope

fly with me
...

Like a snail contesting in the midst
The tired wind leisurely drifts about
Although it feels no utter shame
For its monotonous game
...

My heart lies still
As my mind rages war
Of love gone by
And not yet replace
...

I awake to a darken bliss
With no one around to care less
Nor an inner peace within
That would lift me to an end
...

I sometimes wonder
About my angelic sender

Unheard cries
...

They say I'm strange
For I have no range

They say I'm too old
...

Would it torture my mind
Of things I know not

If I was dreaming of things
...

Roaring thunder lights up the
violet sleepy skies.

The taste of coldness
...

Say what Say what—
Forget the hype
I’m no stereotype
Just A Tall, Lean, Bronze Brotha
...

He travels alone
With no end at sight
And searching for meaning
To give him hope
...

Your voice was intensely strong yet heartfelt
And it grabbed at the attention of those who wanted to hear.

Your face was like a ray of energy and radiance
...

My soul rages war
of all regrets left back

Sends my mind into a boundless pit
...

Here he comes walking down the street
No one is aware he's a junkie
Like a hideous jackal
He steals with heart
...

Fragile, Fearful Doubtful
I Was

Mental Imprisonment
...

He rides with a thunderous might
Of a million warriors at night

His mask glazed in gold
...

Roaring waters
Fills the vacant depths
Empty thoughts
Strays the tired souls
...

Unrealistic and taunting dreams
Awaken me with tired and loud screams
Deprived of a tale to tell, I’m left but one
And yearning for more yet left with none
...

Falling tears
Stray my fears

Unmoved thoughts
Keep me from the best
...

My spirit is like a mother
Protecting me like no other

It comforts and heals me
From all inflected pain by me
...
