Tissue Issues

True or false?

Tissue was inspired by that time of the month when, as Cher from Clueless says, you're surfing the crimson tide

Tissue was inspired by growing up with my brother Naje and his collection of used tissues

Tissue is about when you hold back a sneeze and it tickles your nose

Tissue is about trying to fit in with the other developing preteens

Tissue is about when you forget to bring a napkin and your juicy hamburger drips along the side of your hand

Tissue was inspired by wrapping a bunch of empty Christmas boxes and putting them under the Christmas tree for people to open thinking they got gifts

Tissue was inspired by therapists everywhere who keep a box right there on that table just in case today is the day their clients finally break

Tissue is about when the worst thing happens to you, you feel like you've died and over time the pieces of that which makes you human start to regenerate and form again.

The Anomaly

Tissue

Eyes closed but there is something happening

Underneath the skin and tissue

Muscles are slowing moving

The heart is barely beating

Somehow I have come back

From the ether the unknown

Bone of my bone

From the ashes reborn

Here again...

Brain turned off my soul is traveling

Between thin lines of mortality

To be is not simply to be

Every evolution of me will always find a way to come back

From the ether the unknown

Bone of my bone

From the ashes reborn

Here again...
