Listen to my face.
The glisten of the sweat, evaporates
toward the sky.
Listen to my face.
The eyes can scan around a room
to find you.
Listen to my face.
A sign-post to my given race:
that's all you need.
Listen to my face.
Lips locking round a sentence
that ends in, "No!"
Listen to my face.
A subtle hint of a smile.
Come. Sit a while.
Listen to my face.
Don't make the first mistake.
Make a move.
Find a grove.
What have you to prove?
Listen to my face.
Walk out the door and never know
the truth that lay beneath.
The truth between my teeth.
Listen to my face.
And by your chosen grace,
I'll listen to yours too.

Sabotage
Lately I’ve been in a funk where everything can be going right. You know I’m in a happy place talking to who knows, I’m at peace and feel like everything is just going great you know. But once I start seeing that everything is going great for some reason I need to sabotage it. I need to sabotage my happiness and what I have going on in my life so no one else is able to do it for me. Does that make sense? Am I the only one who gets this way?
