Unexplained Emotions Poem by Laquory Jones

Verse 1
Sometimes I wish that I could explain
Everything that I've been through
Sometimes I feel as if I've been failing
You over and over finding myself falling
Through the cracks perhaps It's always
Goes back to that
Dreams are running back to back
Everything blurs with the facts
Yeah a matter of the fact
I begin to spill my truth and then patiently
Watch how the world will react

Verse 2
Lately I've been feeling like an caged animal
While eating at these thoughts becoming Hannibal
Demons eating me alive like some cannibal
All this pain that I go through can't be sustainable
Racking my brain tater-tot
I slip and slide until I'm caught up against
The fences I've never felt so defenseless
Knowing everything that I ever fought for
Live and fight for can be gone in an instant &
It's the people closes to you killing you senseless
My wrath of pages are becoming endless
Hey Richie tell me how you would you pen this?


Verse 3
Many times that I felt that I've hit rock bottom
No doubt that I've fail (I've fallen)
So I begin digging deeper within myself
Back then I would think about the people
Who couldn't see there way out
Always were on the outs
Trying to find a way in (fit-in)
Am I not speaking truth?
Perhaps it's me or it's you
Yes, maybe, Or a you're crazy, just a few
Things that I think up daily
While drowning myself at Baileys
A few hits of the Jagger then letting the
Coke chase her right after

Verse 4
I become an emotional disaster
When emotions are running plasters
What does that even mean
A running joke?
I'm not sure but just know that
I'm beautifully remastered
I'm taking all my life experiences
And encasing them to the soul
I won't lie I've cried in intervals
Not sure what I'm accelerating
Towards as I find myself navigating
More just trying to gravitate my way
To unlocking doors of opportunities
Just trying to spread love and unity
Perhaps I could be that centerpiece
That brings you inner peace
Like the New York's Statue of Liberty
(Bringing Liberties)

Verse 5
Articulating artistry encased with tapestry
Of exquisite poetry perhaps you could find
The pain, heartache, and suffering
I've kept deeply interwoven underneath
The masterpiece of nestled subtleties
But nothing is subtle about these
Quite troubling plain unsettling
As the pen continues its trembling
I'm forced into remembering all those
Gloomy memories that speaks to me
So unwillingly on those solemn nights
As I take that trip to Autumn Heights
Just a way to escape the rigors of life

Verse 6
Triggers stands upright when people say
They too lost a few to suicide life to
Them were never kind but if people
Could rewind time perhaps find the
People that were left behind
The world might be a better place
That's a question that we must
Ask ourselves everyday
Richie, did we do all that we could?
I'm guessing you haven't yet been
To my neck of the woods?
No longer people go by the book
And ones that do tend to get overlooked
But that's a reality that we have to
To face, so keep your shoe laced
And an ace up your sleeve
