American?

Am I American?

I've been brainwashed by it's media.
I've been condemned by it's society.

I've been trained to follow the masses.
I've been pressured by the American Dream.
I've been addicted to "fast".
Fast food, fast cars, fast relationships, fast life.

Am I American?
Like I had a choice.

Purse, Peck, Dove.

He and I?
We say things differently.

Him, "Poe-tate-o."
Me, "Poe-tot-o."


She and I?
We hear things differently.

Her, "Toe-mate-o."
Me, "Toe-mot-o."


You and I?
We see things differently.

You, "Toe-mate-o."
Me, "Poe-tate-o."

Spoken Word for a Song

It's not that I need you, but I want you.
I wake everyone morning lost in those eyes, mesmerized
Confused by if this love is true or false times.

It's funny isn't it?

It's funny how "sorry" can make up for lost time, but not small crimes.
Locked away like a prisoner in those lies.
I know you're not right, but I still fight.
Telling myself I'll stay for only one more night.

It's funny isn't it?

It's real funny.

The kind of funny that's not a joke.
The funny that doesn't make you laugh, but make you cry.
The funny that makes sense and is confusing at the same time.
You're that kind of funny.
It's funny that I can't stop from calling you honey, holding your hand, or giving you money.

Man, love is dangerous.

Late Night Friend

I have this friend.

We spend a LOT of time together.
Sometimes we go out and drink the nights away.
Other times we just sit at home staying up late.

This friend always brightens my night.

We stay up learning, playing, and getting in trouble.
This friend supports any weird thing I might be doing.
Never judges, and is always there for me no matter what.
This friend always brightens my night.

We don't let our distance keep us separated.
We are many miles apart, but this friend is always in my heart.
We only get to chat at night, but this friend is always on my mind.
This friend always brightens my night.

I have this friend, and the moon has me.
