Just some lyrics I wrote no name yet

Yo, you're one of those
smokes a lot, 
Can't flows a lot 
Won't take a shot 

Doesn't know a lot 
You're Such a waste of thought 

You ain't ready for shit
My rhymes  so lit
I set the fire pit 
Ablaze with a spit

Admit it ya mothafucka 
You must quit 
 it ain't worth it 
You ain't fit to hit 

The mothafuckin beat 
That shits so weak
You can't reach 
This peak 

I stand so tall 
If you wanna fuckin brawl  
I gotta warn you
I don't sting like a Tattoo

I crush 
Like a stampede
No need 
For your greed
Imma you show you 
What you need 
To succeed 

In this world
Full of hate
Lost in fate
To waiting 

Isn't is it enough 
To disrupt 
The earth
Waitin to erupt 

Come on tell me 
You haven't thought of 
this before 
caught up in the this civil war 

With no way to go but 
With a blind gut 
Stuck somewhere between
A fog and a smoke screen

You don't know 
What it's like 
To live this life 
Of strife 

Strugglin to 
Pay for the 
Food I eat 
The water I drink 

Your idea of struggle 
Consists of two
Different houses 
With too many gifts

Tell me when you've 
Reached the cliff
And thought what if 
Then you might understand

What it means 
To feel banned 
From your dreams 
And left with only screams 

Of what used to be 
Confused to be 
Abused to be 
I Refused to be

Sorry if you don't like me, 
I'm not tryin to be,
Your friend. 
That's the end, 

Man.

Remorse

A steel coarse,
With Cold remorse,
Fighting time,
Pity crime.

Tired eyes,
God forsaken lies,
Terrifying thoughts,
tied knots.

Dire rest,
The dreadful test,
Right mast,
Slip trip fast.

Like you,
My missed rue,
Bliss mind,

A lost kind.

Friends

It seems to me the best way to start this is with my name.
Hi, my name is Suttel Soleil Griffin: 
My parents are hippies and theirs before them. 
I’m not a hippy so much per se, 

But it built my childhood.
It shaped many of my strongest ideas. 
Like the beauty of the trees
So tall they block the sight of everything

But the faintest of sunlight,
Or the reflection they create 
Mirroring themselves in the 
Winter water stirred by no man.

I love staring up at the pure 
Strength of the mountains 
Standing up the powerful sea.
The way they stare back at 
Me giving me their strength.

I love listening to the sea in the 
Pitch black sliding on the sand so 
Gracefully and without worries.
It whispers to me.

It asks me to calm my mind.
It asks me to sit and confess my problems.
It won’t ever judge me 
Because it does not know how.

I like to lay with my back to the 
Ground and my eyes to the sky. 
The bright Moon is always 
Kind enough to say “hi.”

But that’s all she says because 
She knows I just want to 
Sit in the silence.
She reminds me that sometimes 
My thoughts are too much for my own head. 

So the moon and just smile in 
Peace together, always aware of 
Each other’s presence but knowing
There’s no need to acknowledge each other. 

I love sitting in the presence of the Sun.
He’s so warm: 
He comforts me like none before.
He shows me kindness where others avoid me. 

These are the friends I’ve met in life. 
I met them when I was young.
No one knows me like they do. 
I didn’t want anyone to know me either.

Slowly they taught me I couldn’t always rely on them:
That I would need people to help me in my journey.
I eventually realized that they were right. 
Sometimes they couldn’t help me. 

Sometimes I wouldn’t be close enough to a forest. 
Sometimes I wouldn’t be near the sea. 
Sometimes the moon won’t be visible
And sometimes the sun will be too hot for me. 

So I payed more attention to the people around me. 
I looked for those who truly cared.
I found them one by one. 
Each with these attributes. 

It wasn’t easy for me. 
It took me years to give them all of my trust. 
We eventually learned how to trust each other. 
I learned to care for them as much as they cared for me

And I want to say thank you, all. 
You know who you are. 
I never would have made it this far 
Without you.

Don't Ask Me

Wait, stop, stand still
Like everyone else. 
Idly watch as the world moves. 
Don't focus on anything;

Because then, you won't 
Have to worry
And everything will be out of sight. 
What happens next

Won't matter anymore. 
Simply, let it go. 
If that's what you want. 
Because that is what you are asking for.

And you don't have to ask for my help. 
You can do that all by yourself.

In This Darkness

The darkness is consuming.
It's flooded over what I thought I knew
And I no longer have the shelter I once had.
I'm open and I'm scared.

Vulnerability, I thought was always a strong point for me.
That's not true.
I'm going mad;
I'm just so sad.

I can't see anything anymore,
But I can feel everything.
It's destroying me.
It's emptying me.

I want to stand up stronger.
But, I do not know if I can.
I want to see something.
But, I'm not sure I would be able to see correctly.

Something is calling.
I can hear it.
It sounds familiar.
I'm afraid to follow.

It continues to call.
I can hear it saying my name.
I must take a step forward.
Everything is so dark.

That is what scares me.
I can no longer tell what will happen next
And I wish I could.
I have to move, though,

Or the darkness will only consume me more.
I'm not sure what to do.
I have to make a choice.
The one that frightens me more seems to be the only logical choice, though.

So I will walk forward.
I will risk walking,
In this darkness,
Hoping that it will lead to the light.

Hopefully the light will shine in a beautiful hue.
And hopefully, that light will lead me back to you.

I'm Sorry

I'm sorry,
But I'm not worth it.
I am a predisposed failure.
I can't help you become secure.

I'm sorry,
But I'm afraid that I'm not good enough,
And I don't think you understand that.
I'm not what you're looking for.

I'm sorry,
But I can't truly give you what you're looking for.
I'm just a substitute.
I want you to keep en route.

I'm sorry,
But you deserve better.
I'm just a lie; I'm not confident
I'm scared and not worth it.

Politics in a Box

I've stood in protest for as long as I can remember.
Not once have I sat to catch my breath.
I'm starting to ask myself,
How much of this will mean something.

When people look back,
Will they remember
These choices I've fought for,
Or is it just another missing history?

Does this protest punctuate my purpose?
Can my protest be seen on through time?
I want what I've done to matter.
I want to leave knowing there was real change.

Not just the classic position-taking.
Not just logrolling my way through life.
I won't let my choices be arbitrarily diminished.
I know what I'm fighting for matters.

It's not just politics in a box.
