Hello (Draft)

I am trying to figure out how to say hello

Greetings are important you know

And you make me contemplate just how to greet you

How do you say it in a way
that says I really want
to get to know you?

That says
I see the way you flow
and I'm tryna roll with you?

That says
I see your swagger
and i'm tryna match you

The way you move
makes me want to dig into you

figure you out
I'm tryna see
what you're all about

Who You Are (Untitled) (draft)

What Am I Doing?

You ever stop and just ask yourself that?

What am I doing?
What should I be doing?
Who am I?

I've always had a soft spot for
The misunderstood
The weak
and downtrodden

Little kids
the homeless
those hurting
kids not able to finish their homework

I want to save the world

But I don't want to kiss babies
and hug puppies to do it

I don't want to win a popularity contest

I don't want to lie
to get you on my side

This is not about money

And I am not what I must sound like

A love child

This will not be filled with flower power language because I want you to hear me

I am angry

Angry that we all can see so much suffering and not do a thing

Untitled (A Bus Ride Through The City) (draft)

I sat on a bus today
listening to someone like you
and watching a woman cry

It wasn't heavy tears
or dog-calling sobbing

just a dabbing
under the lid
a reddening of
the eye

And it was beautiful

Untitled (wishing for you/ I could fall in love) (Draft)

It's 1:11 and I just wished for you
Funny thing wishes are
and superstitions

I need to start again

It's 1:11 and I just
wished for you
Knowing you  are most likely
not going to come true

I don't even know who you are
Just that you're somewhere
out there
Lookin up at the same
stars as me

I mean you must be
I would never fall in love with
someone who would think this
time of night is for sleep
