I Throw Up On Paper...

Ashly


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 sign that will have me hurting your feelings and apologizing in the same sentence"<3

I'm the one you see and wonder [if]too scared to approach me and find [out]. I epitomize the feelings that you [expect] when you press [send message]. I'm the anticipation you feel when you see those shoes on the shelf, then ask for your [size.] I'm the [chase], only to find out that you were captured. I am the headlin[her]. I am the [16] bars that so pleasantly flow perfectly over the beat your heart makes. Got [too] close [too] quick; now we find eachother stagnant, both [too] afraid to make the next move. So, we choose to watch each[other] from the safe zone. Every woman you [expect]ed to know. But, didn't [expect] to find her here.
The timing [could]n't be more terrible, the location [could]n't be worse. So what do we do when faced with so many [ob]stacles. Run! Turn around, and run as fast as we can, [not] worrying about turning back. But, like some sort of [magnet]ic force I'm sending you another message, anticipating the inbox [1] or the orange light-up on my message box. Now we're back to square [1]. The possibilities of what this friendship can spark seem to be [end]less. One in fear of being hurt, and the other afraid of doing the [hurt]ing. Nevertheless, there is some sort of [attract]ion between the two that makes it impossible for the strings not to become [attatch]ed.
