amazing

it's amazing to me
how you claim to know me
yet still can't talk to me
how you read about me from a distance
yet are afraid to touch me
have yet to learn im human
that there is some reality in the truth of my existence
it's amazing
how you try to play me
don't faze me
can't wait to be inside me
but have yet to touch me
you skim on the surface
never hitting home
yet
you amaze me
how you act like
you got it
you got me
you got got
but
u still don't see
won't see
won't even try to see
me
you amaze me
how u play me
like cards
bend me on the ends
get my surface sticky
toss me around
shuffle me and deal me
amaze me
how
u
want 2 be me
want to hate me
can't get rid of me
yet love me
amaze me
how
u love me
how u hold me
how you know me
like the skin in your own hand
are me
you
amaze me
how u lie me
wife me
buy me
laugh me
hug me
birth me
sometime me
leave me
alone
amazing to me
the faces we display
the display we are
when we are doing our thang
this thang we are doing
is either going to destroy us
or eat us alive hopefully we'll realize
how amazing we really are
b4 it's to late
amazing to me
how young you are
you remind of me
and i want to slap me
for being so silly
for being so naive
want to yell at me
speak some knowledge to me
teach me some lessons
grow me up quick fast
with some reality
but me being you
will take time to see
how things be
maybe it will take a few more knocks on the door
for us to hear
what's waiting for us on the other side
amazing.....
how we lie to cover the truth
how u make me say things to ease your ego
how you say things to ease her ego
how her ego needs stroking
how your needs need stroking
how i sit back and wait and watch
waiting
amazing
how you take me out to eat
and talk to her the entire time
how you get mad at me
but when i fall alseep
you talk to her till she falls asleep
and you say you love me
& i blv you
b/c amazingly
in your own imma wait till she recognizes i love her way
u do love me
in some compartment in your brain you justify your wrongs
with my wrongs and make me the victim for being so amazing
so amazing ur mad at yourself for loving me
but it is okay b/c it IS
amazing
this cycle where in
how we can forgive ourselves
for our own transgressions
how when u pay 2 remove ur sins
im paying to remove my own
and we abort our faults into
an abyss of tumultuous shenanigans
this cycle never ends
amazing
how each new day brings the dawn
each small thing brings my smile
and in the end
i know
how 2 be
truly amazing.
