The art of healing requires an emotional response that guides your energy to create new connections in the brain
Our growth demands change
And every small shift within changes the whole of our existence
Anything and everything now
Becomes significant

I'm not a rapper though
I'm a poet
So talk about it
Go with the flow
I'm Circumstantial Saint and I like to talk about duality wholeness the Trinity oneness
on a cellular level on an astronomical level
how we're all connected and I knew when you were here when you were here
Know what I mean so
I like connectivity
I like to showcase exactly what is within me
because to me it's all about the Trinity
The lack is what you need to see within me
I don't oppose mistakes
because they are risks to take
when you find what is within you still can't take no break
I'm not a rapper though
I'm a poet
I don't know I just uhmm so
See I thought I was too
I see what you mean but for me
I look at the in-between
because what people don't always see
is what they need to see
am I right
like people
people always struggle to find the find
and for me
it's always about what you don't feel or see or understand inside

Why the fuck
did I get with you?
I can't remember
U lay around depressed and stressed
And can't find your own assets and wins
So you pick at mines
Pick at my faults
And tell me why I can't win
Yet you can't and find your own kin
Lost like a lot of us
Yet you wanna say who did you wrong
When u never sat down and looked within
We out here
supposed to be
Breaking generational trauma and ties
And you weighing us down with ignorance and lies
And everyone pays the price
Maybe that's why I took you on
Another project and timeline
Cuz I hopped the train off the last one just in time
And now I'm thinking you the same soul in a different body different face of the last fine
Guy
That caught my eye
Yet you wanna gas light and abuse me worse than the person who helped fuck you up inside
So
I think you're a boy
Cuz you have no sense of time
You wasted my time
No u actually taught me lessons I won't forget or ever set to again come by
Cuz I nothinged you before the last time you laid upon my eyes
A demon in disguise
Satan in a Sunday dress
No lie
I'm tired of being tired of being confined
I know who I am my worth and my time
No settle -so I bounced and left you behind
Why the fuck did I get with you
In a daze I must have been confused
I couldn't sit tight
I couldn't get right and the previous battlewounds left me deduced
To rubble
So there was nothing for you to break
loose
Backed myself into a bubble
And I was the one who refused to move
In a room late nights
Showers no fuse
I need space the common denominator is your face
I'm tired of being disgraced
Embarrassed and my confidence and joy being defaced
So it's time for this darkness to be perpetually replaced
There is no ever coming back here to this place
You gave the red flags from day one and I decided to choose you cuz I had no more energy to move you off my plate
You got lucky with a taste
I gave u crumbs cuz I had to eat the only meal I had in the time it took you to grow up and be late
U ain't grow up
U dumb as fuck and
Why the fuck did I get with you when
You ain't nothing but a fake
The apologies and back and forth with the fucking Idiocracy is making my mind bleed of intensity of explosion of the anger
And
This is way too fucking much for me to take
And again you came way too late
I gave you time said your goodbyes and now you gotta find another plate
and make sure this time
you won't be late
I know you don't hear me tho …
Who pissed in my Cheerios?
The dog who gaslit me but was on the night creep
Your talk is very cheap
And you couldn't keep your actions quiet
But yet u can't trust me
I beg to differ
U can't beat me
They tried to dethrone me
They couldn't win
You tried to mold me
You forgot I'm strong as the ground we walk on
And you swimming with one fin
Get with the foundation of mother within
Why the fuck did I get with you
My ancestors guide me
And they told me not to fuck with you
What is meant to be will be
The lessons are learned and I'm grateful for you
The test of value
In myself
Discernment
With no help
Got me to get away from you
And anyone like you
And anyone that does the things you do
My mind and body wasn't paying attention
Though my spirit knew
Why
why
I got with you
It was for me
To become brand new
Leave behind the bags of the used
And be
Something
Someone
New
Like a butterfly
Breaking
From the cocoon
Now
I remember
Why I got with you
Thank you

Complex Angel-
Circumstantial Saint-
I think I give so much love out cuz I want and need loving I think
but I feel weird giving it all to myself
cuz any love I had told me I was being selfish for doing that
I know how to love me but I still get the guilty feeling when I do it
so I people please friends and lovers and I'm left feeling abused
Complex angel-
Nos feel like heavy bricks weighing me down.
Circumstantial Saint-
Lately I've been learning so much about myself
Growing everyday
I am being more intentional with my intentions of purpose
I am shedding the obsessions of past trauma and how they kept perpetuating family curses
I will not dismiss the past lovers that manifest as another
I am learning the ABCs of discovering
My other
The inner
And
As I
Move in this line and through
I will stand and move
Because the mind bruise
Reminds me I was used
And I let it
Happen
Cuz the fear and contractions of stutters of verbal reactions caused distractions to my attention to growth
And it showed
As time passes the feelings can grow
If you don't let em show
You fold and break cuz the triggers alone you can't take and you can't just shake
So
In your head you debate
about things No one but you can understand and know
and how Why when does one even decide they need to grow
Everyone has different timelines I know
But we all question our own
I am shedding the obsessions of past trauma and how they kept perpetuating family curses
I will not dismiss the past lovers that manifest as another
I am learning the ABCs of discovering
My other
The inner
Complex Angel-
Im not of this world
But im definitely in this bitch
Both-
Angels and saints all have a place
Demons and heathen all have a fate
Light and the dark can't be erased
So why is my time after your shine fades?

Speak heavy
Speak light
Talk that shit
Don't be afraid of
Your night
Talk loud
Be proud
Don't let no one fill your mind with doubt
Speak heavy
Speak truth
The best thing you can do for me
Is be true to you
Talk mindfully
Talk silently
Not violently
Though make sure your words are sung in the right key
Speak wise
Think with your eye
Before you speak
Don't reach
Be only
who you feel inside to be
Speak heavy
Talk your truth
Be truth
Be you
Sound off
Speak up
Even if your voice shakes
Speak up
Even if you stand alone
Speak up
And talk heavy
Speak heavy
Speak light
Talk that shit
Don't be afraid of
Your night
Talk loud
Be proud
Don't let no one fill your mind with doubt
Speak heavy
Speak truth
The best thing you can do for me
Is be true to you
Talk mindfully
Talk silently
Not violently
Though make sure your words are sung in the right key

I will rise against the system and fight
I will fight for my rights
I am learning and growing based off of those before me that knew this system cannot
sustain
I will rise and fight against this oppressive system that kills dreams and uses spirits until theres
no more
Rise against the machines that blanket the world in black dust and plastic dreams
coated with toxic cancers and abolished morals with futile conditions of hunger
I will stand
I will remember
Those who came before me who fought and help those who come after me to understand
That they must also stand
Rise against the system
Rise and fight
I will rise against the system and fight
We only have one planet
There's nowhere else to go
Make a way
Inside we all know
Rise against the system
Rise and fight
Fight for the dreams the children the hurt hunger lost souls from cancers addictions slavery and sins
Fight for the lost friends
Fight for love
The kind that comes from within
Rise against the system
Rise and fight
I will rise against the system and fight
The truth won't be lost
I will fight for all
All are to win
Then and only then
Can we
Be real

Queen FAR-
Circumstantial Saint-
Outside in the rays beyond the window pane
Maybe
I can no longer live in this life
It's too shady
I have to go where the positive energy lies
So that we may live a healthy long life for you and I
It's time for us to say our goodbyes
You must know I love you
You will always be a part of me
Where ever I go you will follow me
Because we share the same energy
But for me
I still need
To let you be
Energy
Inside the shields of this pain lies a warm heart of throbbing energy
Shady
There are and were other lives
There's still a maybe
I will get away from where the negative energy thrives
I am going to live a full intentful life
For you and I
Time is irrelevant forever on the dime
I am always a part of you
Where ever I go you will feel true
Because the energy we share is nothing new
However I still
Will let you be
So that I can be full
And be free
Energy
is always in me
Both-
Outside in the rays beyond the window pane
Maybe
I can no longer live in this life
It's too shady
I have to go where the positive energy lies
So that we may live a healthy long life for you and I
Energy
It's time for us to say our goodbyes
You must know I love you
You will always be a part of me
Where ever I go you will follow me
Because we share the same energy
But for me
I still need
To let you be
Energy

Everything in the universe is free
Yet everything has a fee
Energy is love
Energy is gratefulness
Energy is
Be
Being
Dust is stars
You are scars dust and lust
Pent up from mistrust
The stars haze
Thru your eyes
Is a maze
Dropping wet summer sun haze
Donut holes glaze
Fix your face you look confused and hazed
Give you a break?
There's only but so much I can take
Don't mind my words and make mistakes
I have a reason to be irate
My frequency isn't aligned with your iteration debate
Please do not seek to hate
You are loved
You have the potential
To be great
Sun moon earth blues
Rules and sin
Where is your dues?
Mother will sue
And you will then be few
Get your brew you packed and make some stew
And don't take ones who do not belong with you
Love isn't everything
It's an energy
Between you and me
It flows and navigates effortlessly
Until human intervention
When will we learn to have our own intervention
Stop meddling in others obsessions
Energy
Above all understand frequencies
Imagine
Create
Leave that line in the view of ones who don't give but only take
You have a mind that is treasured do not waste
Leave and don't look back
That's the test to take
Energy
Its all about
Everything is
Energy

Fantasies
Rides outlandish feats
Of reality
Or illusion of reality
Fantasy
Toxic sanity
Fiction In dancing queen
Fashion and vanity
You keep projecting your insecurities at me
And so they naturally manifest as you highlighting what you think are faults in my personality
Subliminally attacking
But with reaction to me
Lacking understanding of vision and reality
And so I understand why you keep doubting me
Your actions caused my reactions
But my reactions are thought out the best way I can think of based off of OUR reality
But your reaction you don't see
Only MY action to YOUR perception
Of OUR reality
This ain't just you this is me too
And we are tangled in the fallacy
I understand why you keep doubting me
Insinuating the bad and negatives just to make you seem like we're living happily
When I look at family history
When I think about the trauma passed down even I'm my own family
When I think about the darkness between us dripped in sunshine and sour candy
Though you crack the surface and youll see one person has no true personality
Just a linger of wants and trusts of bonds abused in reverence of fantasy
And I fault noone time lines fuse
And seekers can lose
With being deep in pools of traumas that bring in hues of blues
And the blues turn purple
And purples and blues are nothing but a bruise
I don't blame I only sought to attain a better life for you and I
Cuz we are one in the same
I stayed longer than I could and I missed the time to change lanes
Not once
Not twice
I blanked and u kept me for another
Ride on a freaking train
And I still don't blame you
It is gonna rain
I just thought we understood each other
I see now you wanted me to be tame
I'm wild I'm free and won't just conform to your ways
And that irritates you
And so then I have to walk away
cause I don't know what else to do
Fantasy
Dreams and scenes of rock candy
False sweets and stinging trees
Force one to be alone to breathe
Fantasy
Rides
Outlandish feats
Of reality
Or illusion of reality

I remember being really brave
And outspoken
I remember leading the masses into a new enlightenment
And then I was touched
And I vowed to never again be visible
And I did all I could to not be
I didn't wanna be heard
I moved through life trying to make as little noise as possible
From making sure my feet didn't hit a creak on the stairs in the middle of the night
To not stepping on someone's toes or crossing boundaries cuz I didnt wanna fight
I didn't wanna draw attention
Though I needed and really wanted attention
And there lies the lesson
I should be bold and brave
Cuz I'm beautiful and all my life I behaved
It's time to fuck up
And fuck shit up
Unapologetically
Rip up the floorboards and open up that secret stash
Of me
Unafraid anymore
Cuz the demons have been set free
The inner child now has lots of room to breathe
And yell and be as needy and vulnerable and angry and
Happy
As he can be
Fresh fruit after the rotten tree fell down
That one night
I replanted cuz the roots that were in my soul were rotted
From the life that was forced upon me by others my spirit clotted
Into adulthood I carried but fought it.
Noone knows but you
I remember always being reminded that I felt bruised.
How to heal
Look within you
