always in my feelings

Where an already endangered species is on the brink of functional extinction...

Oh, and 500 million animals unique to this country have already lost their lives, upon homes that have been destoryed and lives lost of people as well...

I mean... we're only living in a literal inferno...

415 fires. Fuck are we dying...

Oh yeah and people are just fleeing to the damn ocean, you know?

Do you want to know what Hell on Earth looks like..?

Because there it is in all it's unfiltered, firey rage...

There it is... my home from space...

This is only the beginning. Our country has not only entered a new decade, it seems a new dawning era as well, because this flaming apocalypse doesn't show any sign of stopping any time soon.

And you know what saddens me? I've never seen Australian tragedies trending here on this website. I mean it's been going on for months and only now does it seem to really be getting recognized, even if it is only at #9.

And I'm going to be honest with you here - the internet, and media in general is so American centric, this website being no exception. You'd think that an entire continent being on fire for several months with devastating consequences would have more recognition, but no, it really doesn't. The most notes I've ever seen on a post about the Australian fires is at least a few thousand, and that's about it.

Yes and no

Hot and cold

This game with you gets old quick

I’m TIRED of the bullshit

451 degrees Fahrenheit

What it takes to burn paper

It ain’t shit to catch a flight

I want you now stupid, not later

273 degrees

Below centigrade

Your flame me grows colder

But mine will never fade

I feel as you can tell

That you make my heart swell

But still you won’t honestly tell me how you feel

The clock is running out of time

I’m doubting if you’ll become mine

You’re convinced that I won’t stay

Some poets get on stage and speak for hours

That ain’t me

Some people find poetry in every flower

That ain’t me

Some people assume it’s easy to write

That ain’t me

Some poets think all they lines is tight

That ain’t me

Some of y’all like to not claim each other

Saying “we just friends” when it’s clear y’all lovers

That ain’t me

Some of y’all like to string people along

You feign being nice when you’re just leading them on

Some folks never have the courage to speak up

They trample over you and now your hearts been dragged through the mud

That ain’t me

At the end of the day everyone moves different

Just stay true to you that’s my only advice

If you’re sweet please don’t act belligerent

And if you’re brash don’t waste time being nice

Impostery is our generation’s downfall

Out here tryna be something you’re not

Being honest really ain’t that hard now

Take one day and just give it a shot

If you take nothing else from these rhyming lines

Promise me always remember one thing

I ain’t y’all

dark

rich

sweet

smooth

your presence precedes you

An essence that can be felt from leagues away

Drawn ever closer to you

I chase after you each day

Your heart

Your mind

Your life

Your soul

Chocolate

Chocolate

You’re so decadent

So sweet

But still you slip through my fingers

Melting from my heat

You hold the key to my heart

But I’m afraid being with you

Will tear me asunder

I want to be your peace

The brilliant sunshine

Amidst resounding thunder

I MUST stick out from the others

Like a throbbingly sore thumb

Growing tired of this front

You play hard to get while I play dumb

Chocolat

Cocoa bean

So decadent, so sweet

I love you yet you melt from my heat

Chocolate

Oh chocolate

So fragile, so cold

Let me pick up all your pieces

A dog chasing a toy

A father and his boy

As his mother watches in the distance

Scenes that bring me joy

Dark black hair

Matted and nappy

To young and bright to care

dark

smooth

strong

bitter

sweet

the perfect wake up call

enjoyed by few

recognized by all

my skin

my eyes

my soul

You’ve opened yourself right up to me

You must think that I have integrity

If only you could see my forest of flaws

You’d flee quickly, and with just cause

Because on the surface, I’m better than most

But when faced with opportunity I often go ghost

I run and flee!

Scatter and hide

Scared to reveal my sensitive side

I haven’t been hurt

But I’ve heard tales

Of people people who’ve played the game

And undoubtedly failed

By maybe there’s chance

If I’m not like the others

That feeling can grow to flame
