I'm in a lull right now and I figured this poem from Kendrick Lamar to Tupac Shakur perfectly portays how I feel.
"I remember you was conflicted
Misusing your influence
Sometimes I did the same
Abusing my power, full of resentment
Resentment that turned into a deep depression
Found myself screaming in the hotel room
I didn't wanna self destruct
The evils of Lucy was all around me
So I went running for answers
Until I came home
But that didn't stop survivor's guilt
Going back and forth trying to convince myself the stripes I earned
Or maybe how A-1 my foundation was
But while my loved ones was fighting the continuous war back in the city, I was entering a new one
A war that was based on apartheid and discrimination
Made me wanna go back to the city and tell the homies what I learned
The word was respect
Just because you wore a different gang colour than mines
Doesn't mean I can't respect you as a black man
Forgetting all the pain and hurt we caused each other in these streets
If I respect you, we unify and stop the enemy from killing us
But I don't know, I'm no mortal man, maybe I'm just another nigga"

Teenage Parenthood
I woke up to yelling this morning
are they ever gonna understand that I need sleep
I get that that they both want to be right
You live in this house for free
respect it
He's 31 years old
respect him
If I could sleep that would be nice
but as of right now
They are both arguing over the stupidest thing I've ever heard
"I'm gonna call the police!"
"F*** You!"
"You have until tonight to pack up and get out!"
Shut up, your threats are empty and cold
Your language is unnecessarily vulgar and rude
Why is it that I am the most mature person in this house
Yet I'm the youngest by at leased 13 years?
Heres the deal
You are both going to apologize to one another
She is going to get over it
He is going to be better about what she asks
You both are going to let me sleep and Calm the heck down
As of right now I'm 18,
The youngest here,
and Yet I'm the only adult.

MASH
If my life was a game of mash
I would Cheat
I would rig the game so only good outcomes were possible.
My home would be small and easy to live in
Big homes scare me
My three kids would be happy
My Wife will be extremely cute
Occupation: CEO, Solar engineer, or a route setter
This game is rigged
Life isn't up to chance
At leased not for me.
