Ticking Time Bomb

Always on the verge..

Everything's working a nerve..

Daring someone to speak out of line..

Growing more and more impatient like I'm standing in a forever-ending line..

The things I'd usually smile at gets me down..

The people I'd normally spend time with, I wish to not be around..

Music that would comfort me is keeping me on edge..

Death stare thinking I'm going to fill you up with lead..

Becoming more tired of my surroundings as if I'm one who's old..

I can only advise you are light years away from me when this ticking time bomb explodes.

Powerful. Moving and Haunting...you're saying more than you're actually saying. Yet you're revealing emotions you're trying to hide. Very good piece...

[Tamika Finley]

Gawd, it's hell finding out you changed when you weren't lookin... and ain't no rhyme nor reason to it - YOU just flat out changed. And they - that vast crew of yesterday and the night before - LIFE - moved on and left you standing lone and tall on tha street and wha-tha-hell ya gonna go n do now?

Welcome to world - it's been waitin on ya!

[Tamika Finley]

It's been waiting to welcome.. but we can never quite configure if the stay or leave is what really matters.

[Chris]

People and family matter, things - even work -get lost and replaced... go with your gut and keep it real.

[Tamika Finley]

Of course, money and anything that comes with and from money could be replaced easily. I wasn't saying what matters to us humans, but to the world that's waiting on us.. The world that seems it wants to break us.. What matters more to this world, our coming, our stay, or our go.

[Chris]

Hard questions for a real life.

[Tamika Finley]

Questions that we're not sure we want answered.

[Chris]

yep... you changed when you weren't looking.

[Tamika Finley]

lol you felt the need to repeat this.. tell me what you mean by it

[Chris]

We don't always recognize the depth to our change... THAT usually comes when someone outside of our experience notices us because of a statement or stance we suddenly realize or make. Our understanding of life and how things weave really do change as we consider things we hadn't knew enough to think about.

[Tamika Finley]

I understand. So you noticed some change within me that I haven't?

[Chris]

I noticed YOU - here by the words and tone used and then by how you answered back could see even more growth of the personna within.

[Tamika Finley]

Growth is good. Thank you for noticing ME

[Chris]

YOU earned it... and THAT says it all.

[Emily]

I love the wording and the layout of the words too!!
Keep it up!!

[Tamika Finley]
