Incoherent Musings

Continuance
~
Observing, watching, listening, just taking everything in
Steadfast in their stance where they learned not to flinch
Preserving lessons while standing at attention to live
Peeking around corners to see what we thought they missed
Clever enough to build from the fundamentals of basics
Astute students of life and earning every right to say it
Laying in wait with the weight [...]

Watching The Weather
~
Way back when, never knew where the crazy days would take us
About now though, can talk about this place and what shaped us
Some taken away but we know as a whole they can’t erase us
Take the wrap without a pass because there’s ground to make up
Underrated once but not out of touch with [...]

Accessible Privacy
~
The obscured good in life is what my eyes always try to focus on
While my ears concentrate on every part of every potent song
Arms hurting so much from years of struggle to keep holding on
A heart recuperating from everything that keeps on going wrong
Not getting along to go along is what I can call [...]

Reaching Topside
~
Remember when we relied on each other to make it through
When together was a moment we couldn’t bear to lose
Remember the nights of only us under the stars and moon
That was when I knew I couldn’t help but fall for you
The truth pursued, proved, and consumed just as a start
Because of my lack of [...]

Honest Remnants
~
A fallen feather under pressure to still take flight
A native forever calling for everyone’s satisfied lives
To be interactive in actions reaffirming everyone’s pride
Gathering tools for the incline of the mountain we climb
Seen my share of this, and been through enough of that
Prayed to wait and make memories that could only last
Torn apart so much [...]

Golden Years
~
There was this time I still like to remember again
When we played our part finding out what life meant
Never too far is where each and every conflict went
Together we’d go and experience the fun of the event
Sad that it would all end and then on to new beginnings
Our ways to make it through the [...]

Open Eyes
~
If you don’t like me at all; big, fat, hairy deal
My record proves I don’t name names and squeal
I’m not going out to take away from anyone’s meal
If you want mine, just ask, you don’t have to steal
Never have I proclaimed to have the power to heal
Just like the ones who know, I can [...]

Simple Finale’
~
I might not be around but the memory of me will stay
There I am in echoing words or filling an empty space
If that’s the most obvious place, I’ll embrace the blame
My mark I know I made just by making my personal flame
Knowing how to be plain is what I know I can claim
All I [...]

All Out Warriors
~
At a grueling rate we had to take all the pain inflicted
Not sure of how things will turn out, so we make provisions
Remorse no more since it got the final notice of eviction
Because of that, we know our circle is pretty restricted
Saw things never envisioned now friction is a daily occurrence
We know how [...]

Rez Assured
~
No permission needed, this route here carries a lot of meaning
Some might go as far as to say it’s why we’re here breathing
Going for the crowning achievement, picking up where the lead is
If it isn’t a means to the end than we’re all about leaving
We know the reasons for believing and we’re here to [...]

Honorable Discharge
~
The way it’s supposed to be is we don’t grow to be strangers
Instead, here we are opposing each other in moments of anger
Along the line we lost sight of making each other greater
We went from being pencil and paper to each other’s eraser
Now we start keeping track of fulfilling how many favors
Went from betting [...]

Gauging Distance
~
You can take the native off the rez, but not the rez out the native
In the worst environments imaginable, gotten ourselves situated
Give all you got to stop us, but we already know we can take it
Taken shot after shot point blank and still striving to make it
Hearts accustomed to hard times are hard to [...]

Her Offspring
~
I grew in her until I could take on all my firsts
When that time came around I was ready for birth
Made a concern forever as the length of my term
After all that I was ready to find out my worth
Crawled then walked to accept many things on earth
Things can go many ways, but in [...]

The Good In Life
~
I kinda remember sad and lonely oh so long ago
Now I still could be sad, but no more as a solo
I chose and was chosen to be apart of someone’s life
The good, the bad, and the honest all feels so right
Now somehow I’m the prized owner of a gift that keeps giving
By [...]

Watchful Eyes
~
My most cherished possession is a simple battle tested heart
Apologies for not knowing when I don’t have to keep guard
I know for a fact as a target I’m able to get hit hard
The life I had was scorned to adorn different battle scars
I did my part, survived the dark, and now it’s a new [...]

Expanding Boundaries
~
For the rez I’m left with nothing else more to show
To give my all before I fall is my one and only oath
Cause the rez blessed me to learn more from what I hold
Hard choices in traditional and nontraditional growth
Fears in us from experiences are rare to get exposed
Where nightmares take shape, described as [...]

Shot Placement
~
If you really want to start some mess, go on and test it
Not ready for the status and that alone is too tempting
Give thanks for making me an issue that’s too pressing
Asked for it and got it now that you see it all ending
It ain’t no thing to make examples and teach lessons
Decode the [...]

Gatherings ‘08
~
Honesty seemed promising while feeling unsure
Tongue tied so much, words had to be relearned
A bundle of nerves preserved by kindness returned
Patience in waiting when I talked so unsure
Smiled nervous, reserving strength to keep still
In head turning beauty, my eyes got their fill
Trying to make sense with words that couldn’t spill
Keeping a sense of composure [...]

Wayward Steps
~
Don’t talk to me about making the grade on the test
Lungs out of breath from the heaviness on my chest
Allegations and accusations draped around my neck
War cries I still recite to show I’m battle dressed
In a state of unrest ready to wreck at full speed
Diversions for aversions but my eyes clearly see
A legacy we [...]

Topsy Turvy
~
Scattered light and broken mirrors brought her sight
Swollen lips and cracked teeth decorate her plight
Not her design but, for now, there is no compromise
After a hard day’s night, wounds won’t let her resign
Watching her own steps before another conflict arrives
On a day to day basis asking how will she survive
Keeping in mind her fight [...]
