In my world

working

in my world

 

the devil wears white

and jesus is black

not that it really matters

cause I ain’t praying

to no one

for nothing

 

i ain’t giving

or giving

nothing

but hollow

stares of comprehension

when told something

ain’t right about me

 

i’m the mean chick

with issues

but u knew

that

 

i’m f*****g my past

while f*****g u

but u knew

that

 

i’m spinning in cirles

lying about the radius

but u knew

that

 

said u could deal

with

that

 

try to make me better

than

that

 

i’m not a saint or

a sinner

cause to be one

or the other

you gotta believe

in

that

 

believe in more than

the sky is falling

chicken little

 

that

i

believe

 

so i seek shelter

in her arms

and her arms

and her arms

 

nothing

achieved

but stretch marks from

all the pulling and tugging

her gives

attempting to love me

 

in my world

of white and black

and middle of the

road grey

that only I see

 

stuck

not in a rut

because that would

be to close to admitting

the truth

 

no i’m stuck

living

in my world

made up and populated

by others

 

some invited

others barging in daily

hourly

taking bits and pieces

of my world

to make theirs

leaving nothing behind

but remnants

and trash

and me

 

in my world

I love the honest writes. They say 'this is me speaking'.

This is me right now and I wish I could close that door.
Very relatable work.

I love this! It has a great flow...more like a free flow than poetry. I can picture you on the street corner battling and winning street credit with these words.
"I'm f*****g my past while f*****g you, but you knew that"
Something about this line get me...
This piece is fantastic. Truly a great write.

This is different for you, but it still has your vibe, your power and pulse! This is the part that had me hooked:
