“Curiosity killed the cat”
What did I mean by that?
I don’t know anymore
I really don’t care
I have no more words
I’m left empty and bare
I sit here alone
Just aching to write
Don’t know what I’m feeling
Don’t know if I might
Drop dead from the black
Want to steal my own blood
As the cold, heavy tears…
Are beginning to flood
My heartbreaking eyes
I’m so sad and so weak
Even weaker than you
Or, so to speak
The one thing in life
That you’ve ever learned
Told me the opposite
Of what I have yearned
But I am the tough one
Even though I’m not numb
I can work through my feelings
Well, given that some
Are not as extreme as
The ones I despise
Like the ones that I find
Have been sick, woven lies
But even those feelings
Have faded to gray
You made me forget them
They all went away
And I know that it’s drama
That you’ll do without
'Complete minimalization’
Is what you’re about
So I’ll sit here alone
And wonder why
You’ve turned yourself into
Desolate Guy.

In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
