Spoken Word Piece # 1

I throw up on paper//
regurgitating rhyme and reason that will touch you in your heart//
make love to your soul//
tickle your intellect //
question your understanding//
change the way you view things//
I'm not just a poet up here claiming to be a revolutionary//
Because that would deem me hypocritical//
There are still things that I have to change within myself before I try to change the world.
Like, sometimes I hold my tongue when I know I should speak//
I fear large crowds and being too social, so I always settle for being around a circle of friends//
I will not walk up to you and introduce myself//
I don't cook or eat healthy//
I hate water & things with no taste//
I make banana pudding without bananas//
A walking, talking oxymoron//
I still have a lot of learning & growing to do//
All these things and more make me a very average human//
I won't stand up here and claim to be perfect//
I can be a bitch at times and yes, on purpose//
But, I know how to come back down to earth and be the sweetest person//
I'm a gemini, let me elaborate//
A sign that will have me hurting your feelings and apologizing in the same sentence//
One part of me doesn't give a shit//
The other cares too much//
Creative//
Witty//
Inconsistent//
Selfish//
All this wrapped into one//
It's hard to find someone to put up with my ever changing moods//

(A work in progress)

[Outer] Space

When you are forging your spaceship, can you make room for me? Make it a seat right next to yours so that I may lay my head on your shoulder and pour my soul out to you? //
Just you, me & outer space; in deep exploration of places we've never been before. Taking in sights so beautiful that you wouldn't mind if you went blind afterwards because you have reached the pinnacle of that sense. //
Give me your hand, while we no longer are confined to the chains of gravity; we can truly get high and fly, with no weight on our shoulders; just you, me & outer space. //
I wouldn't get tired of being stuck there with you, because you intrigue me in such a way that I want to learn something new about you everyday and by the time we return to earth I will know you, front to back. All these things happening when we take a break from this world as we know it; just you, me, & outer space. //
