52 Blues

52 blues so much bad news
stack it up like a deck of cards
hecka hard bein human like me
gotta pick up my personas
like cards i play
they say too much emotion
ain't good for poker

first i go playin the fool
call me the Joker
cuz im
dancin around,
got a painted-on grin
but inwardly i frown
Hahaha-in like i done
lost my mind
wrong, i thought this was the last time

I thought the jester role would save me
from being just another number

some cumbersome oaf
loafing around
with a black and white cloak
so he gave me
the mask
and he paid me
to wear it

but the more that i bear it
i find its now sealed to my face
and disguise is disgrace

i forgot how to feel
and all that money is useless
with no one to share with...

What's the point

Why am I doing this? What is this page all about? Plain and simple, this is an outlet for self-expression...I feel like writing, but I'm tired of making all these random text files on my computer. With that said, the content of this blog is ME up-close and personal, in your face. I'll be writing poems, songs, short stories, vent-sessions, whatever I feel like at the moment . If you like it, that's cool; if not, well that's cool too. I'm just trying not to bottle up this creative potential inside of me.

As for the name, "Empirically Lyrical," i kind of named it that just because it sounds good and it makes you think....my main point is that these poems and random writing are based on my observations and the way I feel about life. Anyway, so read on and maybe you'll get a glimpse of what I'm trying to say
