Question? by Zae

To be a male governed by emotions
Engagin in situations that requires
Just
A lil bit of patients
And since I don't believe in half steps
Laziness is instigation coupled wit frustration that's motivation for me to stay to myself
Now my heart stay on my sleeve which gives insight to my buttons
And I hate to lie
So am I lying if I don't say nothin
Not to mention I care to much
About something's and almost everybody
So I get hurt by something's and almost everybody
Wit my comprehension as far as reading
Can only be compared to gluttons and eating
Delicacies to my taste
But actions and words are the volumes that I'm seeing
And with all that I'm receiving
I'm noticing to some deception is as involuntary as breathing
Wit nothin new under the sun
My memory don't allow me to forget
The games
The B.S
And every moment with the things that I miss
Now this pride at times has blurred the lines of humility
Some people have to be asked more then once
But more then once to me is silly
And I ain't beggin for nothin
With the difference to me between beggin and askin is
REALLY!
Now with all that being said even spoon fed you can tell I'm far from average
Yet I have to continue to prove this and put myself in a category opposite of maggots
So are these strengths or weaknesses
But I'll leave that question up to you to answer it

Blood Boil by Zae

Smells are a pet peeve
Beautiful smile and nice eyes
BUT DAMN!
You ain't brush yo teeth
Halitosis is an oral disease
That's the result of constant neglect of yo personal hygiene
To be the coldest thing I den seen
But it smell like yo tongue spoiled
And that's just one of the smells
That make my blood boil!
With the fluctuations in the heat and you got halitosis of the feet
Like you was doin laps in plastic wrapped in aluminum foil
Smells!
That make my blood boil!
How can you shower and immediately need to take one again
THAT GOTTA BE SIN!
But again
Smells that make my blood boil!
Or the one that you catch on a breeze that could bring you to yo knees
Victoria's Secret Pure Seduction
Or the version they put out every spring
Quite as kept
That gone keep my blood
BOILING!
Or to be a gift to a prize
Like CANDY
NOW THAT'S GONE!
Make my blood!
Wit lightheaded and dizzy spells compared to dehydration resulting in perspiration
Because something's
Make my blood boil!
Like to walk in a room and get yo nose assaulted
Fabreez got a slogan
You NEED to wash it
Smells that make my blood boil!
You ain't showered in two days
And you keep putting on Cologne
If you got on the same socks
I know you got the same underwear on
And that's a smell
I KNOW
That's gone make my blood boil!
Fresh out the shower and you feel the way that you look
That SMELL!
Gone make my blood boil!
They say two wrongs don't make a right
Yo spot is like a sauna
And you ain't take a shower before you got in bed that night
Them sheets got a smell
That gone make my blood boil!
So if smells are a major part of yo world then you understand where I'm coming from
They say cleanliness is next to godliness
And if yo smell ain't together
I know where you coming from!

Alone by Zae

With this thinkin when I was younger
I wonder why I wanted to be
Alone
So hungry for interaction
That even if it came in fractions of infractions
I just didn't want to be
Alone
Left in the deep dark recesses of my mind
And I den been this way for along time
Cause all I have left is me to deal wit dis pain
So how long must I remain
Alone
Holdin on to memories aided by conversations over the phone
In search of help for tomorrow
But I have to deal with today
Alone
In this place seperated from home
I have to continue to go on cause I can not not be strong
I'm just so
Alone
Wit thoughts of the flesh of my flesh blood of my blood bone of my bone
So well known
Just
Alone
And I've had some success mingled wit even more regrets as I continue to reflect
Alone
So as stress compile on top of stress and I try not to flip or melt when I get upset
And be left
Alone
Cause I think about how I came so close
Or was I so far
One night wit no stars
All lies and no fact
No main course just snacks
And me
Alone
As I feel like i'm losin my grasp on reality
Cultivated by vivid pictures when I sleep
Littered streets of casualties
So many bodies different versions all me
As peace and serenity flee and leave me
Alone
Now my intellectual faculties are struggling for understandin
Lost and abandon
Left out and stranded
Alone
As mental enemies continue to hinder me and just won't leave me
Alone
So I stay in constant communication wit the author of creation
Beggin, Pleadin
Please don't leave me
Alone!

A quality that is maintained and sustained by the faculties of the brain
Aided by an awareness of self but from the outside lookin in
Can be perceived but never received as mundane
A uniqueness fueled by an independence and a resistance to be anything opposite of different
Because if my friends jump off a bridge would I jump wit'em
Considerin
I didn't even know the basics of swimmin
Not to mention
That water might not be the spot that stop was endin
And my pride in some situations I find to be a hindrance regardless of position
Adapt
An ability to overcome because failure is not an option on this mission
With an open mindedness accompanied with an acknowledgment of traits you don't usually find in this generation or times
Physically they say I'm at my peak but mentally
Far!
From my prime
A dime
Wit a lack of confidence you'll never see
That’s in short supply and you at the back of the line
And a gift for a love of words that my momma say I need to learn and observe
Because of this consciousness I see how its use can cause other to swerv
A.K.A
A depiction of verbs
I'm talkin bout symbolical meanings teeming with the effects of insecurities and inner turmoil
My whole family do this
And that’s just reading with the intent to learn more

Everyday I wake up I have to wait to be released
Roll over and be patient
Till my bunkie get done wit his morning ritual pee
Just so I can brush my teeth
Or vice versa
He gottah wait on me
I hear yall out there losin it
Talkin and walkin in circles
Well we been doin dat
Except for we got uniforms tryin to get us to perform tricks
Like jumpin through hoops and over hurdles
Everybody comparin vices in a crisis
We do that too with even less we can do
And they keep up-in the prices
People on Social Media having problems with Social Distancin
Now if I had one
I'd be in isolation wit even mo contact missin
But it ain't nobody listen
So I have to stay on my square wit no support
Cause since court
All I have is my mental consolation due to my Social Sentencing
And on this path my Grandma past and I only get to hug my momma once a year
On top of that I rarely get time wit my kids
I'd love to get quarantined wit dem
You think y’all strugglin’
This is my definition of a pandemic
A.K.A
The way that I live!

Time spent, time stacked...Alone!
Drip drip, pit pat...Alone!
Idle thoughts roam free
What was, what use to be, chit chat...Alone!
A passing breeze and I wonder why
No lights in my sky, a look back.....Alone!
Hope and dreams but what song sings
Different tracks, same laps...Alone!
So is this what it is or is this just me
But Zae there is an the end to the tunnel, just don't believe that...Alone!

When you look at somethin
Do you see what it is
Or what it can be
A lil critiquing fine tuning to bring out its tru beauty
So I ask her
When you look in the mirror
Do you see what the world see
Or
Are you trying to get the world to see what you see
and as you recognize they lies and get hip to yo fate that you great
Are you surprised that these simple people hate
See
Some have an eye for the end results
But
Because of they faults they try to keep the world in the dark
That stankin thankin say I ain't gone accept dem to be better then me
That's why snitchin at an all time high
And the whole worlds gone be blind because they still believe its an eye for an eye
BUT ANYWHO!
I was never good at goin from A-Z
Hell
I got a hard enough time goin from A-B
Without combining the letters for Bae & Be
But that just me goin beyond what others can not see
They closed minded thinkin and impossibilities
See
I believe pink ain't nothin but Baby Red
And that Baby can only grow based off of what that Baby get fed
Mind, Body, Soul
It all start wit dat Baby head
And if she ever gone be Queen its gone begin wit da princesses in dat Baby bed!

As a result of reckless spendin endin in a collection of material
Literal!
Worldly value but its sentimental is zero
I worked hard to obtain the means to acquire my desires
Win, Lose or Draw!
Tryin to win I was unconscious of how much I really lost
A false definition only defined by position
Only to find my acquisition was a song they would watch and never listen
But I still love to show i'm livin
Now that's just me
A closed mouth don't get fed
But instead action can tell a story subliminally
And I can remember when it was just the opposite
When it was so hard to stay positive that every chance I had I dodged it
Now my head didn't understand unless it included a profit
In the world 1+1 is 2 so if you subtractin from my hand that's goin against my plan and to me that's simple logic
Sponsored by those with goals of they own self worth
Now with hurts that don't disperse over knowledge of my own self worth
And dreams that seem to sparkle with the essence of possessions
Like things in the dark come to light
AKA
My darkest confessions
Accompanied by reflections of lessons and how I was disrespectin blessins mainly from a lack of discretions
Simply put by bad decisions or other words a lack of discipline

It’s our marks that set us apart
Ink in our skin as we agin’ try to find a way to express what’s in our hearts
I got a microphone wit lyrics to carry me back home
Reflectin’ on thoughts that won't leave me alone
I had a tall drink of water for a Queen
With thighs and cheeks that could make any man dream
Our anniversary her first and my last name
Yea that’s somethin’ i'll never do again
A madd ball was my first goon
A skull with a skully and a bandana somethin I still think is so cool
I got my daughter’s name on my hands
And my first goon keepin’ watch over my lil man
These designs is just me speakin’ on myself
Family legacy down the backs of my arms with space for my wife on top of the shelf
A nickname was my first tattoo
An acknowledgment to the effects of how I move
So when that needle penetrate what is yo message
At 60 you can't tell no mo so how you gon’ pass on that lesson
But then again what is you really expectin’
Sometimes it’s best to leave the canvas blank and keep ‘em guessin’
