Thinking With a Concussion

Thinking With a Concussion

A Poem by City of Prophet
"

I wrote this in the middle of the night in my cousin closet. I kept reciting a poem I just heard by Propaganda about time and felt the need to not waste it 3:00 in the morning.

"
Ok Ok, I thought I knew it all.
I mean what wasn't there to know?
I knew how to walk the part.
I knew how to talk the talk.
The thing is the shallow pool of Medina's thinking
looked swimable.
I took a head first dive into the kiddie pool.
Only I pretended I didn't have a concussion.
Everyone else could see the crack in my skull.
The blood pouring down my face, filling my mouth quickly 
as i tried to speak and say "No No! Im Ok!" 
concluding with a gentle smile. 
That didn't matter. 
What was there not to know?
*Medina- I was referring to myself*
