Mookie (to all those lost)

sign of hope
sign of failure
sign of
in need of
saving

didn't you save him years ago
didn't you promise me a map
for him to find his way

a new slate
eating off his plate
sleeping on top of anything

a sign of hope
a sign of a thing to come
I can only weep
as he continues to sleep

slammed a life out
crammed a canteen
framed a picture

I watch me
watch me as I lose
control

ever wait
every trait
holding back

want to attack
so she must
procrastinate

dog pinned
rear ended
sleep deprived

sign of hope sign of failure
in need of
saving

this I hold
so closely

ever present
separate

I stole the title from Mookie Blaylock, the basketball player/old Pearl Jam name. I really like the name.

Here are some song lyrics I came up with. I guess they would work as songs.

drool
I hide it
very clear

it is burned away
torn

slap in my face
cold water
eyes seeing grey

welcome back
to all that is
conforting

delbirately fall
to feel something
the pain that is burning

ever burning
I hide it away
very carefully

punch me now
cold water
eyes color blind

paralell
dizy with fright
we just stop

it is burned away
torn to pieces

slap in my face
cold water closer to me
eyes seeing grey

ever question
never stop asking
it can happen

very carefully
I see the light again

it utters something
closer to
closer to me

always stop to question
always continues
inside of me

burning black with dizzy
burning pure fear

learning that it only
gets inside of me

for me to see
for me to whisper

for me to see past

for you to believe


everybody
everybody knows my name
everybody knows my name

and I think they are
creepy


get out
jump out
over do it

everybody knows my name
and I think it's creepy

favorite can
and I think they are crazy

everybody knows my name
shit stain
on the wall

get out
jump off
overdose
intoxicate yourself

everybody knows my name
and I think they are creepy

dress 'em up
call it Susan
everybody knows my name
it's so creepy

step off
peace off
drop out

everybody knows his name
everybody knows my name
everybody stairs
leach off


everyone
get out
jump off
overdose
intoxicate yourself

Just to impress your elders
just to show them you can
be anything you ever wanted

slow down the growing
pump it full of
dossage oh so much
motion speeding
up

you are the stage
oh so full of rage
why may you
do this to prove your point

for many
you were correct
fullfilling their desire
blood and admire

work of the passionate one
ridgid and gaining speed
beating them to it

threw the wild card
you just
got out
jumped off
overdosed

for me you look so nice
like the sheep told me to drool
got off for anyone

get out
jump off
overdose
intoxicate ones self


just ahead of me
it's a habit
snickering

he changed my mind
thought it was so impersonal
back to earth
setting myself up for
something better

habit
gonna get into the medium
keepin' pace
gotta win this race
against the man

habit
gotta make it mine
rule this
inhumane act

layin' brick or suckin' dick
gonna get there
I will see reality
soon enough

destiny isn't real
for me to trust
someone like you

it's a habit

changed thoughts
back to earth
going to get better
in time

keeping pace
Kinda scared where I’m going

Even more scared where I’ve come from

Endless possibilities foil my every thought

Right and wrong just a decision

Mom and dad, not always right

Challenging those seated above

Their speech of protection is a false certainty of safekeeping with every shift

Right and wrong it’s a decision

It’s your decision

I will guide you through this moment of indescribable imagination

Wave of ideas flooding in and taking over our intuition...

Kinda scary where I’ve been; even more scary where I’ve come from

Differences give us the gift of ourselves

Right and wrong just decisions, mom and dad can’t answer your entire question

Questions you must answer on your own

Questioning the eagle; she darts to and fro
