Not a Metaphor

I starve to death before I listen to you rappers
(I need more)
If you're gonna do it, do it skillfully
(Set the score)
I got people who would kill for me
(that's not a metaphor)

In touch with your feelings
I'm drowning in your brilliance
How could someone
Who's been hurt so much
Become so resilient?

Build castles out of sand inside of
Hourglasses and
Nothing you build will last long (long)

A kaleidoscope of monarchs
Bursting out as new becomings
Flapping to the rhythm of the rap song

When night gets the darkest
Magenta eyes dripping
Ego shattered gently
Reality is slipping

We are glitter and bones
Deception, mirage
In the scheme of things
Lingering tones
The stuff of stars
Whatever the season brings

Grieving screams
Held captive by tenderness
Planted some seedlings
Springs around the corner
Covered in blood and disorder
Birth is beautiful and brutal
Futile, musical and horror

I find luxury in observation (You see that?)
They find purpose in their enemies opinions
I'm astonished
Seems people wasting breath chasing status end up
Morally impoverished
