Absent Minded
Don't mess with a writer
Think og their elaborate stories
and well thought out stories that the plot twists
where you lose yourself by the end
and they fool the reader
and even the government
they fool themselves
and get away with the crime
the truth is
if you mess with a writer
they are capable of messing with your life
I live it everyday
who knows who is playing what gamew with what story
but here i am caught in the middle of many of them
someone has an intricate plan to mess with my life
and it involves many stories for me to watch
in suspense for clues and wonder just who i am
sure i believe in coincidence
but there is just too much
i know
and i can tell when i am being set up
some writer has a script for my life
and is writing other scripts around that script
to scare the hell out of me
to make me think i made it all up
so here i am stuck at the middle of everything
and the singers who know my names are songs
are just another part of the puzzle
as i try my best to take this all on
as they scream at the top of their lungs political statements
and i wonder if one day they will dissapear
i stand under the neighborhood watch sign and sing along
hoping someone out there will notice this poor young queer
but why would they let this poor young man die if i wnat to
even if thats just something i say some days out of spite
to myself for not understanding rhyme and reason
for being the hostage no one cares about
to train spies and military
and be the game of a century
you couldnt play without me
working my way out
they sing to their spies and other memebers and me
what im supposed to look for
and they are all leaking information of spy versus spy
there i am in the middle trying to stay alive doing what i can
to protest this or protesat that
have someone fall in love with me
and figure out if there is a way to catch onto one of their hooks
to earn me some extra time to catch onto another one later to let the old one go
so we can pl;ay a new game
and let the slide of the game we are playing take place and have me lose control
the poets think they are nothing
well they are something now
i said it once i will say it again
don't mess with a writer
for they are the ones with the big words the fancy tools of riddle
of communication
to come together to throw off the writer who is playing with my life
to find a way to lead me from hell to the next high water
and where i will be safe when i do decide to run for my life
they come up with plans hidden in their hooks and seeds of prose
that i may or may never use
they are the rebellion of what is going on of how the music and movies
is being used as a weapon to torment me
and the poets had no clue and now the have the right to choose
how to play and what to do
stand up for their rights
and make money doing it
for i will never let them know who or how or why i keep coming back to read it
and what authors are giving me a helping hand in what ways
to get through this mind maze
written by some author who wanted to hold one man hostage by words
poetry is the beginning of my escape
the authors of poetry
spark the revolution of my freedom from the terrible things
and clues from the game of clues and tag
that hollywood plays with the singers
and television and books to keep me insane
poetry is a sense of logic where we fight back against what is going on
and the poets know that one day if they writew a book
movie or screen play
there i am at the middle of this writers trap
centre stage nightmare game
where i am being toyed with
and they keep that in mind so i can one day have peace of mind
my names are songs
terorised by the radio
if only you knew the coincidences in the movies
who i am i still don't know
I know i am being toyed with
by the likes of someone who is capable of covering their tracks
like a writer who is capable of teaching
hitmen and assassins how to get away with the perfect murder
and the rest of the game
is how to get the innocent away
through this mind maze
while blindly he is surrounded by thousands of traps
the poets haunt me yes
because i inspire them in a different way
they are like me
hurt and sensitive
caring and brave
they are compassionate and see what they can and must do
they are not like many vocalists and creative writers
fueled by hate and animosity
a poet will do the right thing
and here i find release
until the ghosts catch up to me
and my nightmare i no longer live alone
when your names are songs
and there are too many coincidences in the movies as clues to your life
when there are too many synchronicities around you
and you know this non existant crime scene is no longer just mine
you will see the poets
become writers and plot their escape of confusion and mystery
and here i will be
the first wishing to be the last
the one who says he is everything awaiting his rebirth
and you ask what takes me there
and you ask where i'm going to leave the old me
for i always leave something behind
and well thought out stories that the plot twists
where you lose yourself by the end
and they fool the reader
and even the government
they fool themselves
and get away with the crime
the truth is
if you mess with a writer
