been there before...

I could’ve sworn
that my spirit was poured
into my physical form
mere moments ago
I remember it though
the memory of being born
I should’ve known
because I’ve been there before

    ⁃    might not seem to make much sense
but it does 
just when 
you’re not paying attention
themed content with each concept 
but how could this be?
reincarnation
someone else already made this confession
everything has already been done 
not to mention
I’ve been there and done that
so many times over
religious routine between chaos and order
that’s stuck on repeat 
randomly 
fractalized
we have only just begun to decode it
can’t you see?
that half the time
we are relearning what’s already known 
but long and forgotten
the short version
most questions are the answers we’re searching for
forevermore 
I should’ve known
because I’ve been there before

    ⁃    it feels so familiar
something intrinsic
somehow instilled in the
past lives lived
passed down since gills
amphibious existence 
it gives me the chills
in my webs and my fins
deep breath lungs filled
if I drown in my dreams
do I die then for real?
as I recall yes sometimes
until
embryonic thoughts bear fruits in this field
    ⁃    high yield
naturally selected 
survival skills ‘cause life can get hectic
and you better bet that it will
when you least expect it 
mass extinction event 
go get the checklist
nobody left if
there was even anybody there when we met this
Big Bang theory 
the point being the nexus
which feels familiar
because I’ve been there before

    ⁃    let us explore
all that the universe has in store
all that we do is worth its reward 
it is all up to you as for me I am bored
been there and done that 
but tell me what for
something material?
or something much more?
don’t be so serious
settle those scores
if you’re just playing games
it’s the dice that you roll
how can life be controlled?
yeah well I’d like to know
not for my own motives
I just gather info
to further understanding
beyond ego
superfluous go
with the flow
it is all about soul
it’s about that time
if you ‘bout that yo
what’s it all about?
what it’s all about
well once in a while you get the opportunity to let ‘em know
yo
I’ve been there before

    ⁃    back at it again
with a pad and a pen 
detailed documents
each tale that I spin
recycled with a grin
it’s as if it’s an infinite loop
let’s begin
this never ending story
table of contents
the framework the formula
suffers pretense
no guts no glory
but in my defense
these words cut deep
I have torn my flesh
just to bare my soul
and the scars are fresh
wounds heal slowly
but time does it’s best
and you already know what’s next
so will you choose to go with the flow
or reject 
what’s been set in place 
destiny or fate
definitely take
a second look make
up your mind like “wait
I think I’ve been here before”...
