3

I know who I am
Who I was and who I will be
And that fact drives me like a brand new car off the lot
Smooth easy and with no worries
My life was marked by stress-filled flurries of doubt, desperation and deceit
Crumbling under the weight of 3
It took some time but now I see
That all I needed was a little time with I, myself and me
A triad of power and self-awareness
It's why I only eat with forks
You can't get me to look into the distorted view of a spoon and try to find myself
My reflection upside down
Confusing my psyche and putting me in a permanent head stand
Sending the blood rushing to my brain and making me dizzy
Unconscious
I release your hold on me
Break my glasses in two because these bitches hinder me from seeing the truth
Wearing man's perception of reality on my face like a fashion statement
Screaming I don't know you
Or who I am
I'm transitioning like lenses led by the sun and God's raw energy
and I know who I am
Who I was and who I will be
My destiny became clear to me like stars in a dark, polluted sky
Like 3 stars in Orion's belt
O the simplicity
I smile through my childlike eyes and hum a tune that's dear to me
3 is a magic number, Yes it is
It's a magic number

Fantasy World

It's warm in your world of lollipops and candy canes
Beautiful daughters who bear your name
Your likeness and your claim to fame
See but its a fuckin' shame
Your world isn't reality
Because here
on Earth
Ex-wives move on
That first son you wanted is born without a slong
Irresponsibility forces you to sing the same 'ol song of
It wasn't me
And still you decide to spread your seed
Let baby mama do all the harvesting
But you want credit when it lasts through all four seasons
A game of hide and go seek
Where you disappear in the darkness, promising brief blinks
But glueing my eyes shut so I couldn't peek
As you took care of the family three blocks up the street
See its bright in your world
Where the sun doesn't set
And broken promises are easy to forget
Four to six hours is quality time yet
That's some shit I can't accept because
Your world isn't reality
Here
On Earth
There's a big difference between daddy and father
Standing behind a pulpit can still make you a follower
And if you're not gonna listen to comprehend, then I won't even bother
I make it plain
I am me
Reverend I'm not made in your image, I'm made in He
Even if we share the same eyes and cheeks
You're not gonna sell that bullshit to me
I need you to see
That your world of daisies and roses
Is full of minds that remain forever closed
Oblivious to truth, deception and lies
Because you choose to dine on superficial alibis
But you vomit whenever I ask Why
See the reality is
You weren't there
And you don't wanna be there
Cuz you like your warm world
Of lollipops and candy canes
Beautiful daughters who bear your name
Your likeness and your claim to fame
But see its a fuckin' shame
That you won't come out and play
