I'm black, I don't feel burdened by it and I don't think it's a huge responsibility. It's part of who I am. It does not define me.

Define insanity, define me
'A spectrum of behaviours characterised by
certain abnormal mental or behavioural patterns
that may manifest as violation of societal norms
including becoming a danger to themselves and others or
nowadays denoting mental instability'
Hey! wiki define abnormal, because I don't understand
Tell me who decides societal norms, cause I didn't contribute to them
Let me be dangerous, let me be myself
The stability of whom should I look at?
Define love, define pain, define sufferance
define mercy, define justice, define tolerance
define passion, define sex, define complexity
define insanity, please define me
Take me out of this dream, I can't catch the reality
lead me through this wet fog, guide me home
all my senses are enhanced when
I'm abandoned to your memory
Borderline attitude of being nervous, occasionally anguished
a stormy spirit supposedly calm, a balance quite disturbed
people are arrogant with strange guys
people are scared about non-linear minds
are you among them?
Define love, define pain, define sufferance
define mercy, define justice, define tolerance
define passion, define sex, define complexity
define insanity, please define me

This does make me very very careful, particularly in the second draft, to get it right, because you do feel that somebody in the future who may be extremely important for everybody, is going to have me behind them, and this is a responsibility, a huge one.

I couldn't be happier about being a part of 'Hunger Games' and to play Katniss. I have a huge responsibility to the fans of this incredible book and I don't take it lightly. I will give everything I have to these movies and to this role to make it worthy of Suzanne Collins' masterpiece.

We All Feel Too Much To Say
WE ALL FEEL TOO MUCH TO SAY
We all feel too much to say-
We do not have words for all the intuitions and intimations-
Our lives are richer than we can define-
They have nuances we with difficulty sense-
All we are is more than we are-
And when we define ourselves
We make a shorthand which misses almost everything.

The Rejection Of Respect
I do not desire your respect.
Don't you know I'm a freaking reject.
I desire kinds of attention I'd rather not mention.
Shallow and alone.
Look it's another Sherlock Holmes clone.
What a eloquent poem.
Written once upon a time.
When I was looking to rewind.
Trying to define my past as part of me.
Then it crept inside and part of my heart died.
I had break it off.
As if it was an unwanted girlfriend.
She was just another.
Wallowing in pain to the point where you feel so smothered.
Holding on to the edge knowing this might be the end.
Suffocation with sweetest embrace.
A remembrance of not me.
No not like this.
It is something I want you to just forget.
Get it out of your head.
Cheer to death, and her blessings.
It is something I both welcome and dread.
And this morning I think of her yet again.

The way he paints the sun and the trees
He paints the sun in black bold colors
Flaming in black smoke and the trees
Are tiny and thin all in black like
Charred sticks from a huge fire
He did not place people in the landscape
The black rays are like the hands of octopuses
Crawling and perhaps eating the landscape
I look at his eyes, they are all red
Blood spurting out from his capillaries
With this huge fire of anger
Burning the painting the canvass ashed.

We need to take responsibility and educate people. That's why black folks don't like me. I always say it's our responsibility to make safe neighborhoods. It's our job to get them cleaned up.

In some movies you feel like you're a very small part of a huge machine. Whereas in the theater you can have a very small part, but you can still feel the weight and the gravity of it. Given the nature of theater, it's a more concentrated and quiet experience.

Starlight
It's alright
It's Ok
I'll keep holding on today
'Cause I'm waiting for the starlight in your eyes
No more faith
No more hope
All that I can do is grope
For a shred of loving care from my girl
The pain you felt has burdened you
You can't feel loved
I'm glad that I have been with you
But thats not enough
In your arms I would be
Overjoyed as any boy
Holding on to what he loves
Oh so much
Feel your touch every night
When I dreamed to be alright
There you are in front of me
With your smile
The pain you felt has burdened you
You can't feel loved
I'm glad that I have been with you
But thats not enough
Whoa, thats not enough
The pain you felt has burdened you
You can't feel loved
I'm glad that I have been with you
But thats not enough
Whoa, thats not enough
In your arms I would be
Overjoyed as any boy
Holding on to what he loves
Oh so much
Holding on to what he loves
Oh so much
Holding on to what he loves
Oh so much

Something More
there is a part of me in you,
in every move you make,
every thought you think,
in every sleepless night...
there is a part of you in me,
in every time i do the right thing,
every gentle and good thought,
in everything i believe...
there is a part of us in God,
and a part of God in us;
that cannot be seperated
and still feed the flame of living.
there is a part of love, and the whole,
written by our destinies.
you and i, and something more,
that words cannot define.

Dying is a Heavy Responsibility
Dying is such a huge responsibility
I'm not sure I'll even attend.
Will there be sad tears
or none at all;
or worse approbation
and the silence of the resentful
or will there be laughter and love.
Who will do my eulogy
and will it be someone
I would choose
or will it be some hated brother in law?
Dying is such a responsibility.
Will they dress me in dignified black
could I have a last cigarette
or a last run around the block?
Will I lay there
surrounded by hypocrites
who never lifted a finger in life to help
now tearfully they genuflect;
for some of them
I just might
reach out my hand
and slap a face
that would shake up the congregation.
But who would have to pay for the services?
Dying is expensive, at least 5,000 dollars or so
probably more.
Why waste all that money on
hungry worms?
Dying involves financial decisions
Who will attend my funeral
who will the pallbearers be?
Perhaps I will slink off to die alone
and save myself
and others a lot of trouble.
I think I rather leave a few bucks
and have the mourners have a party;
after all
who says a solemn mass
and boozing don't go together,
even Jesus
liked his wine.
So if I go
by disease, accident, lifestyle, or crash
it would be nice if I could get some help
with all that responsibility.
Wonder if I could get someone to die for me
and save me all the trouble;
It could happen.
You can get anything, I understand, for a price.
Besides who really wants to go to a funeral?
Me least of all
especially
if it is my own.

There to Rhyme
He's a corporate leecher.
Disguised as a preacher.
There to rhyme with poetic lines...
To define a satisfied ego!
Aging an outdated purpose.
As he masks his flight to recite,
Prose of those poor and burdened.
Upon the irreplaceable wings of a true giant,
He seeks to feed a dimishing spotlight.
