MATHEW+WALKER

It was a thursday in the summer So I decided to go out I called a couple friends Only two would come
 * //FIRST POEM//**

We stayed out late Around 10 we decided to go home On the way we ran into 3 kids They started messing with us

One swung but missed So my friend made the kids face kiss his fist I started to run But my friend turned around and threw a bottle at them

I heard the crack Then ba ba ba I Turned around to see my friend on his back The kids started running and I yelled for them to stop

I called an ambulance But it was to late Till this day I never fought again Cause I don't want to lose another friend

Water makes me my body is mostly made of water I drink it everyday I drink it when im thirsty I drink it in my house I drink it outside I drink it everywhere it helps me live I bring it with me everywhere I go thank you o faithful water you have saved me from a life of thirst your scientific name is H2O but I call you water.
 * //ODE TO Water//**

**//MY RIFF POEM//** It’s so loud inside my head With words that I should have said I sit here and wonder day and night what would have been if i didn't let you out of sight The sight that let you free instead of speaking its mind Now I have to speak to St.Anthony to help me find something that may have been lost forever now me and you may never be together Who would've thought a couple words would kill me not in a physical sense but mentally Those words that made me go crazy sitting in a nut house waiting for that day just maybe I would get a second chance to stand next to you once again and lend that ear of yours some medicine that would make us together forever However with every medicine their comes side effects maybe heartbreak but I would be incorrect to think this would ever happen Because They're sitting here strapping me while I think about those couple words that could've changed my life But I held them back to make you think I didn't care Kind of like they're holding me back in this restraint chair.

It’s so loud inside my head With words that I should have said- Lupe Fiasco: Words I never said media type="file" key="My Riff poem audio.m4a"

I was raised by Myself I taught myself what was wrong people may have told me although i chose to understand them
 * //I was raised by poem//**

I was raised by my mistakes what i did wrong

I was raised by cursing hitting someone taking things from other kids I was raised by all of these mistakes

I don't wanna care right now i say everyday Getting done what I have to just to get through life three hundred sixty days a year to my dismay I just try to cut through it like a knife
 * //Sonnet//**

living everyday like there is no tomorrow is what I was brought up to do so i do it with no sorrow and make sure whatever i do im not number 2

So no matter what I say i will love my being I will go out and live so no matter what im seeing I will never have any thing left over to give

SO the moral here is be happy and take a lick at life like its taffy
