My mind overwhelms me

My mind overwhelms me,

Four corners confine my body while my body entraps my spirit

I wish to be free, but freedom is like love 

A treasure at seas bottom

Sought after but seldom found

Thought of but rarely expressed 

Hidden but in plain sight

But what is freedom?

The condition of being free, the power to act, speak, or think without externally imposed restraints

So in actuality we are all slaves, but to whom?

My mind overwhelms me,

Im am no womanizer, but i do tend to break hearts

When her eyes look into mine the affliction starts

Accelerating at a fast rate only to crash head on

I look at our love to see if it still exist

non responsive, another fatal attraction.

I morn for a season, but yet again i look into anothers eyes 

Praying for genuine love that consumes me & never dies 

But lets be real, these niggas more concerned about material items 

Postin pics on ig hopein a shallow individual like em

I wish i knew her before she devalued her worth 

Made in Gods image buh came from the earth

As our bodies intertwine she hopes to captivate my heart

But anything of high value wouldn't be so easy to bag and place in my cart

And as she embraces me i kno these feelings are rushed & only temporary

Im on a conquest for something real, so they label me a visionary

My mind overwhelms me.
