Trippin

My days are slippin,
I be trippin,
Over myself,
Over my words,
Sentimental thoughts,
I’m mental,
Mental state,
Lost forms abate,
Can’t wait,
I overcompensate,
I’m lost,
Searching for you,
Looking for new,
A preview in lieu of success,
I’m a mess,
Such stress,
Much duress,
Brain’s compressed,
Into something different,
I’m indifferent,
Maleficent,
A power against the world,
Against myself,
I’m self-destructive,
Creative in chaos,
Constructive in harm,
Persuasive self-pity,
I be tripping,
This day be slippin,
Now I’m lipping,
My thoughts,
Onto paper,
No sense,
Just nonsense,
A flow,
A recompense,
From the memories,
From the pain.
