MIDNIGHT WALKER (just real enough)

Midnight walker…

I ain’t lost.

I’m just done explaining.

⸻

I walk alone like my shoes don’t fit the ground

Like every thought too loud, every face too proud

I talk like a weapon, masked as a joke

I write like a preacher, chokin’ on smoke

I been through hell — never asked for maps

Learned more from silence than I did from facts

They say “you good?” like it ain’t too late

Like pain got a curfew, like grief can’t wait

Every scar’s a lyric I ain’t spit yet

Every friend’s a ghost I regret

Family tied by blood, not respect

I’m the product of what they won’t accept

⸻

Midnight walker

No moon, no guide

Just rage in my breath

And scars I hide

Midnight walker

Built from the black

You see my back

But never the cracks

⸻

I don’t smile unless it’s strategy

I don’t cry — I just burn calories

They said “forgive,” but I got allergies

I’m allergic to fake analogies

You post memes, I post trauma

You chase clout, I dodge drama

You want peace? I want armor

I’ll write pain ’til it flips karma

Used to care if they understood

Now I rap ’cause I said I would

I ain’t better — I’m just real

You numb out — I feel what you conceal

⸻

I ain’t angry.

I’m exhausted.

Ain’t heartless.

Just cautious.

Ain’t dead inside.

Just paused it.

Trust?

I lost it.

⸻

Midnight walker

In streets with no light

Made of mistakes

But I still fight

Midnight walker

No map, just mind

You run from demons

I let mine guide

⸻

If you see me

I ain’t lookin’ for love

I’m just

Lookin’

Forward.
