Why?

You love me, do you?
You want me, do you?
Is that your wife caressing you in your sleep?
Why lie?

You love the feel of me,
the thrill of me,
the freak of me,
you possess the skill to compartmentalize.
For real you, what's the point?
Dude, why lie?

You got to go home to keep the peace, so you leave me.
I got to shussh, so she won't hear me, 
"But Baby understand, you are dear to me."
Son, with such ease, you lie.

It’s about the kids, for real you?
You love me, do you?
Riiiight you're my guy!

Me stress you,
trip you,
ponder you!

Why?

Coward

Who are you?
You're a coward to me!

Shadow living like your childhood handlers,
choking on their fears,
modeling their doctrines like designer bling.

Who are you?
You're a coward to me.

Constantly seeking acceptance,
praise,
validation,
adulation,
co-dependence’s underling.

Who are you?
You're a coward to me.

Blaming father, mother,
sister, brother
for your regress,
your mess,
the depreciated path you chose to step,
for your essence muddied with regret and middle age fret,
cause time has crept,
by...

Time to
stretch you,
reinvent you,
rebuild,
challenge,
start anew.

Good-bye Coward. 
Hello Ms. ummmm...

Who are you?

Now

Yesterday, yesterday, yesterday,
tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow

Sweet libation, help me escape my now, now, now.

Yesterday brings with it sadness, guilt, regret, shame.
Tomorrow promises absolution, vengeance, vindication, reign.

Sweet libation, help me escape my now, now, now.

The mind's trip fantastic..
Yesterday, tomorrow,
Yesterday, tomorrow,
Yesterday, tomorrow.

Pause..

Breathe,
inhale,
exhale,
be still,
acknowledge,
accept.

You only have now, now, now.
