Delivering Blu Skies (BWWM)

Blu's Poem

Blu’s Poem #2

Hey, I said hey

See I got trapped in a breeze

The one where the ocean meets the seas

See I used to be… Me

The chubby kid with no teeth

Then they asked me what I wanted to be

A dentist, an actor wasn’t for me

Trapped but not in one of those metaphorical seas. – On the shore where

I chock on seaweed.

The seaweed of repressed memories.

Hey, I said hey

I’m invisible

I haven’t found my label

See I wanted to be an artist, but all I could draw was this…

Then I wanted to be a singer, all my notes turned out flat not like Beyoncé, nothing like that

And I wanted to be a swimmer but I always a afraid of a the trigger,

Leaving me a lap behind while I tried to butterfly

So I wasn’t a sports knack or talented

I faded in the back .

Hey, I said hey,

See I don’t like change

Content in my bubble, with my green dress, I was kinda subtle

Now I’m left feeling like leather; a little dead but a bit better

See I gained a bit of control

Used to use a blade to fill up my soul

But now I’m on a roll, only use one cut to make me feel whole

Only need one drop of that scarlet blood to feel numb

But it’s not like it matters cause I’m just a number, right hun?

Just a number chasing paper until she’s in a casket.

Disguise modern day slavery, damn I thought we were past it.

Hey, I said hey

I realised I can’t trust anymore

Drowning in lies and pipe dreams, living on the inside

While the rest of you have goals to build a family and to buy a home

But this isn’t a joke

Wanna hang yourself with your own rope?

I brought enough for you and me both

But I want more

But you can’t have more if you’re alone waiting for the closed door

To open, for you all expenses paid world tour,

As a side chick because he always leave the trash at the door.

Hey, I said hey

I’m done playing these mind games

I need to rearrange or rehabilitate or revise my fate

Because at this rate I just feel like an unhappy modernised ape

Just a puppet in a game

Let me feel a drop of rain before I go insane

Midlife crisis of the youth of today,

Hey does that sound like a state update?

Hey, I said hey.
