Creative Lab – Where My Pictures Come to Life
I see it coming, no more cries,
By now I don’t flinch, no wide eyes.
Goodbye, goodbye,
Hello, hello,
Goodbye, goodbye,
Again, it’s so.
Two, is the Nr. years
lost in the shadow’s mark,
Wondering how to fix things back
Two, is the Nr. Degrees hotter,
I proceeded to spark.
So now, I don’t flinch or lose control,
When it takes its toll,
When it’s time to go,
I’ll be home,
In my heart.
In my zone, where I restart.
As everything I’ve prayed for
now unfolds before my eyes,
As everyone I’ve cut ties from
taught me I was the prize.
As only me and God rise
through these droughts and trials
I wonder, do we look alike?
I’ll never forget Ota’s words:
“Swallow the poison, Ireign.”
I’ve been spitting it up ever since,
regurgitating
Sifting through the bitterness,
Cherry-picking pieces that don’t sting as much,
even the valley of death has more allure.
I don’t remember many days clearly,
Yet that one remains vivid
The day I stumbled straight into the snare.
Here I am, replaying the massacre,
Trying to untangle the chaos,
A chaos sent not to be untangled.
‘Then at least let me send it back to sender’
Again, Ota’s voice echoes,
“Swallow the poison, Ireign.”
I’m a hopeless romantic
With hope its better than titanic
It’s a dance on the ship
But its a sway from within
It’s chemistry
I was a good student not just in history
I know about chemic fluids
I know what happens when juices mix
Explosion, dissection, penetration
Not sure you can follow without confusion
I wish I could go mad for once too,
But all I am is love, so I love you.
Don’t want to spill the tea,
Yet here I am, bleeding on the next breed.
But there’s more to what you know,
And yet, there’s nothing, just the show.
Let’s meet in heaven once we go
Let’s kumbaya and glow
