switching lanes on straight lines

i've been feeling weary
heart....heavy
these people are abusing my psyche
damn...get off me
let me breathe
lemme shine
it's cold how you wanna try to test my mind

with your..
fake smiles
fake genuity
i see right through all the unoriginality
doubting myself
doubting my core
i have so much more to give than they could ever know

feeling weak
feeling tired
my soul has damn near from my body retired
and these tears that floweth
from a heavy heart
never stop once they start

i am here for a reason
but recently i've lost the taste of your season-ing
up, can't hide the truth
and i lay in wait
steadily gathering my proof
to shine the light on
all of these misconceptions
and give birth to a word
born out of no protection

from the they, the them
the mosquitoes that bite me
the sting of a bee, the wrath of an aedes
now this fever
is catching-a-fire
and burning
in my soul
and once unleashed
not even the jaws of life can hold -
me

imma go out
and i'm gonna
let the world know to watch for the stealers
who be-friend you
then tarnish your soul
watch for out the the "unrealers"
they tempt you with imitation gold dealers

i'll shout it out loud
and hope they hear my echo
and run more talk than the green gecko -
dude you'd think i was
glued to your set, your soundbox
but be careful what you wish for
cause sometimes
you have the key
with nothing left to
unlock.

I like your poem, it's well written and yes, you may think that I have forgotten you, but I haven't.
I've just been going
through lots of changes. It's alright to reinvent myself every once in a while, so I guess that's what I did. I have not forgotten you and never will. Your poetic voice is as powerful as ever.
Keep it up!
