All those feelings they left without me

They left me behind and sailed the vast sea

Far away from here because they wanted to leave

Get away from my ridiculous anxiety

Leave me to preach


C’mon you gotta help me out

You gotta get me on my feet, up and about

If I don’t start moving I’m going to shout

Lose my mind and yell some stuff out loud

I’m gonna worry start to get sad and pout


Remember those feelings they threw me to the ground

When I hit, they shook me and no one was around

I couldn’t hear anything I was left without a sound

Nothing can help me get up, help me fight, help me get out

So please someone find me when I’m losing my way

When I’m trapped inside my darkness there’s nothing left to say

someone help me because I’ve walked away

Away from my happiness, and even forgotten how to pray


So please know me well enough to see

That sometimes I’m not exactly gonna be

The perfect person you believe

The person that you need

I struggle, I wanna help you out, I wanna set you free

But I can’t when I’m stuck in my own greed and all I do is overthink

Find a way to understand my deepest of feelings

Find a way to see the real things

That are going on inside my soul and inside my life

listen to the things your told and when I cry

Know that I really care and things might not be so right

That I might be in a deep pain that I might need some time

When I’m rapping or rhyming I usually feel alright

But sometimes I feel like I’m in one big fight

With my feelings and what they want me to write

When it’s there turn to take control, it’s their turn to drive


It’s scary sometimes I gotta give up the wheel

To some of the stuff that I hide the stuff that I feel

Because it’s the only way, what I write it becomes real

It’s the only way that I know my fate it’s sealed


It’s just words, what could it really mean

Oh hell you don’t even get it you won’t even believe

What I go through when I sit and I breathe

And jot down all my thoughts when my brain is peeved


My brain it has me buckled in a car seat

It’s racing through the coldness and turned up the car heat

How sweet

I bleed

Get off me it’s my creed

It’s soft serve, but heck it ain’t ice cream

I’m honored, I wanna rap that’s my dream

So let me do what I want, let me tie seams

just topping this off, it’s frosting, it’s icing

On the cake that I call, what is my scene

So yeah let me go, let me try things

I don’t care about the haters, they might sting

they don’t matter no they won’t get in my ring

I’ll knock em dead, I won’t even try I’ll be vibing

So for the last time don’t forget what I’ll bring

Listen to what I preach, what I say, and what I sing

Because you’ll never hear something more special, and more downright powerful then what I sing


Ayyy get it Ben. This is my first time trying to write an actual rap to a beat. Good for a first time not great for an actual rap. Definitely had some improvement since then. I love the mood it gives off though.

The longest stretch of the book, and the loudest. Most of these carry a date and an album.
