going corporate.

thomas michael — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 23:42:26 +0000

so in seeking a new career, I’ve decided that I’d rather go corporate than continue to do (music, entertainment) jounalism. this way, what I do by day won’t become blurred with my passion and when I do choose to write about music or my passions, it will be for fun. shall we see how this goes? oh why not…

FIRE!
you’re let go to wander these suburbs
hungry enough to eat the herbs from shrubs
dirty but no water for rub-a-dub
here we go with the metallic guns
for kids with thumbs up their butt
silver spoons in the tomb
desperate times call for insane tactics
you’ve been under pressure call it practice
royal oak disappears in a mushroom cloud
the nuclear demolition was a good show but to those in the know
you know, showtime gets scrambled to those who can’t afford to subscribe
this flow is dipped in mercury
you know, its still good to go
no dead presidents but they want us extinct
clutching a couple coins but the vending machine only takes VISA
and you can’t get one to go or stay and pay
might as will waste away

“scared to speak and speak cuz you scared”

violent outbursts and smacks to the face.

fantasies of smacking you in the face with all my might. making you cry. blood.

denzel.

in sexual pleasure with myself, i found the answer.
and i realized, though i love him so
i can let him go

and i felt like i had denzel washington towering over me
he bellowed
“motherfucker, you can’t know anyboby, until you know yourself!
how are you supposed to fuck when you can’t touch ya own dick
i’m gonna look in your eyes and tell you something
that you are gonna have a great life, you are gonna do something special, you will have love and wealth and health, you will go mountains above what you ever thought you could ever achieve, but you do it, step by step, and you get to know yourself.
take this time alone as a diamond in the rough.
let this gem shine and lead you through these dark times…
that are actually kind of fun; now aren’t they? i see you smiling deep down.
so go ahead and touch yourself tonite under the covers.
don’t let your head tell you a goddamn thing.
i’m not giving you an ego boost
we’re going to build a brick bridge of confidence
and we’ll build it with all the shattered pieces from your past
i might be invisible right now but i will hold your motherfucking hand
and you will get through all of this manure and it will fertilize the soil to a beautiful rose
and someday some lucky motherfucker is gonna come pick you up
but goddamnit you’ll have some sharp ass thorns.”

it sucks when you can’t control your thoughts and your brain is just blank and fuzzy and melting.

forest.

thomas michael — Sat, 03 May 2008 01:28:50 +0000

if you can’t see the forest from the trees
how will you see? how will you see?
you’ll get lost wandering

you can’t love someone that doesn’t love you back
crunching leaves through a darkened path
you won’t win him with that

take a deep breath
let the air go
take a few steps
from out the shadows

you have to see the forest from the trees
take off those blinders
stop only seeing
what you wish to see

cherish that one flower
give it the water it needs
someone will walk by one day
pick it for their bouquet

stoic.

thomas michael — Thu, 01 May 2008 18:02:31 +0000

you say i’m stoic
but i have emotions
sometimes i let them through

i’m thinking about what you’ll say
and the tough thing I have to do

if there’s any doubt in your love
i have to see myself out

you say i’m stoic
but i’ve emotions
for you
I might lose

down to violet hill.

on the last day of april
future-tom talks about may

i remembering turning 19 on the 19th

this year..

afternoon.

thomas michael — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 19:39:47 +0000

in the afternoon
what do you know? what do you know?
where do you go, to stop time inside a mountain dew can
the soda has a bit more fizz inside
in the afternoon
where do you go? where do you eat lunch?
on a hill where there’s a slight breeze
where do you go? where do you go to feel okay?
in the afternoon, when you forget about time
i wish it could be 2 o’clock forever
in the afternoon, it can’t be soon enough
i shut off my mind, upon a grassy knoll
in the afternoon, i sing a tune
its stuck in my head
its stuck in my mind
i see the same things over and over
i trace my heart over the bark
in the afternoon, someday soon
we’ll talk about stuff
