 Everything I see is a reflection of my ego - AdeX 

DATE HAIKU

10/25/22
They waste your time
Play games with you
move up move on
go to the new
Write another Date HAIKU

THE CAGE

 thought i was done
but the flow is still there
let me go down my work 
whilst the vibe is still here
u know the vibe comes and goes 
its really doesnt care
It really doesnt matter if your sitting in the chair
eating a meal cutting your hair
when it inspires you 
You best relax and stay right there 
let it go let it flow from your mind to the page
let every word SINK like the INK in a BLANK NEW PAGE

let me go tun let me go BURN SOME SAGE
Im the hulk with my emotions 
All WAYS in a RAGE
I'm a child of the THEATRE
I love the STAGE
Your love is all i need
And my hearts the CAGE

why do i gotta impress you 
why do i even let the 
things you say play on my mind 
sometimes i think i shoulda left you

thing is if i could i would 
and if i did 
how could i forget you 

put my things to the left boo
take my picture of your dresser 
set fire to the rain 
my jordans and my dress shoes

so what now i dont impress you?
u forgot about the times 
when I used to undress you 
get under your skin 
right down to the bone 
dont u think of me when
your lying home alone

dont you think of me 
when your lying on the phone
tryna tell your friends that you like being alone
i shoulda known
that 

Love 
IS
JUST 
A
WORD 
2 U

You play with emotions 
like cable play CARTOONS
Five finger death punch
with WORDS
THATS YOU
Gas light me say I'm crazy 
Se mweh ki Fu?

Awah uh uh pa di sa dou dou 
Not you that say you love me 
Like coochon love labou

It doh really matter
Cuz Ill always be there for you 
In your ear in your hair 
like Videl Sasson

 how could you be an imposter when you dont even know who you are?

it triggers me 
the way that she blatantly 
ignores me
ignores the greatness 
that lives and grows inside of me

makes and effort yes I see
but so BUSY never REALLY has
time for me

it triggers me 
the way her words
deliver me 
in her eyes I see 
all the things I dream to be 

but when I fall short
I ask myself 
is that all she sees?

cause some how 
thats all she communicates to me
who and what fell short
and how much better life should be
that my work my words my life
just aint enough for she
she triggers me

i love her and thats why you see
the words SHE says
THOSE WORDS trigger me
her love her skin her kiss DELIVERS me
but when i feel like I let her down
that triggers me

The order of things.

 don't ask me where i've been cause to be honest I don't even know I've been working so hard lately to get things in order that I even forgot the order of things. 

for the most part all I can do at this point is put one foot in front of the other and do my best. i' be honest its a heck of a phrase you know, do your best. 

What is that exactly and how do you know when you're getting better? In my experience better only comes from looking back after staying consistent after a very long time. 

Around this time last year I signed up with company called SONGFINCH and now I'm 200+ songs deep in my catalog and doing things financially with my music that one could only dream of, 

As I write this I'm in Portugal for WOMEX a world music expo. An event that i was on stream to attend back in 2015 but didnt due to Id say a bit of hesitation and coincidence. 

Im here because I kept showing up everyday and doing one little thing that would impact my journey. I wrote a song I made a beat I sent an email I sent a text I edited my website. I did something some little thing that planted a seed for GREAT things to take place. 

I dont have all the answers but as of right now I've got to and will continue to do just that.
