Face Value

I told you once, I told you twice, I told you a thousand times.

If you step one inch closer, you will understand, realize. I

Am so much other than the skin on my face and the air

In my throat. Be careful what you think and what you say.

You crave what you don't know. I am surprised by my

Emotional triggers, when I think about growing up into

Adulthood. It's no longer, no longer simple. It's no longer,

No longer simple. All I thought of life, all I thought was so

Sinful has begged me to question my pride's own obsession

For incessant wisdom. Yes, I'll admit I fumble over

Incoherent territory. Defensively dance to a rhythm uninformed

To speak slowly. So, I breath quickly. One breath could

Separate face value what blows away from what falls to the

Ground. You claim to know me. I won't hold you to it. Only the

Wind knows my name. I am surprised I hold onto what withers.

So, I'll drop my gold head to recover to face the ground. It's no

Longer, no longer simple. It's no longer, no longer simple. All I

Thought of life, all I thought was so sinful has begged me to

Question my pride's own obsession for incessant wisdom.
