When I was a kid I hid my heart under the bed because my mother said if you’re not careful someday, someones gonna break it. Take it from me the bed is not a good hiding spot I know because I’ve been shot down so many times I get altitude sickness just for standing up for my myself. When i was a kid i could fill a bookshelf with EVERY different way they told me how not to play. They’d say it's time to START putting childish things AWAY and I was like FUCK YOU but more and more they made me BELIEVE that our hearts are like door knocks and that's where we get the sound of the beat and i'll never get to meet the women inside if i can't stay still long enough to be there. I’ll never know myself if all i ever do is play, Don't want to be a women. When i was a kid i wanted to live long enough to make old age sweet i wanted two left feet so i could dance around important issues until way past my bedtime i’m not saying don't have opinions just that others will less likely want to argue if they were as tired as i was, fatigued as to AMEN as what a good night's kiss does to kids it puts weights on our eyelids and returns us to a place where reason and IMAGINATION laced together shoes whose tongues stuck out at stillness and beckoned us to move forward. As a kid i was always drawn toward MOONLIGHT despite an armada of adults who insisted i must set my day according to sunlight.I would lay in bed and fight sleep believing if i shut my eyes even for an instant i would miss out on something AMAZING.
