I guess all this time of 35 I’ve been blinded/Timely reminded of all my loses that left me hind sighted/
Haters should like this… Born agains should be behind this/
They say catch your epiphany or live forever timeless/
Caught up in a loss of words but I’ve never been that mindless/
See life is nothing but learning lessons/
Either you make change or make less efforts/
Some rise and some crumble from the pressures/
And my resolve is being measured by a few of the evil and clever/
I guess it’s a never ending story in the world today/
Sometimes my fear of conflict disrupts what I really wanna say/
Sometimes I’m near to contradict such of really living this way/
Maybe my so called perfection has already gone astray/
Or maybe I was never perfect…
And so my mistakes have been paid/
And if they would have stayed along with those who I’ve engaged/
I wonder if my life would even be the same/
But your either moving forward or trying to explain/
And everything happens for a reason but some reasons haven’t been redeemed/
And reality is some people are just as lost as me/
What’s the percentage of that win loss ratio and is it costly/
But chicks be bossy and dudes be saucy/
And being alone seems the only way to avoid these people trying to off me/
It’s all me…
And all I read now is actions you can keep your dictionary/
I see it all and call it like it is and that’s no game like pictionary/
I guess all that the world made me was a visionary/
And what I’m seeing in the world is really scaring me/
They used to say I was arrogant and more or less extravagant/
Passive aggressive bad temper but know how to manage it/
Good hearted, honest and trustworthy but they took advantage/
And so now my anger is my joy because they know now I won’t have it/
Appreciative and grateful if I have it because I know it can be a had it/
Listen to all because I know we all have our own madness/
And I understand that most of all we try to mask it/
But I always been the type that all you have to do is ask it/
Because I can only shine like my God if I come open handed/
But even I have limits and limits have certain tactics/
And I am certainly in control of a life that’s so frantic/
Surrounded by the ill minded and the manic/
Survivor of it all and walked out unscathed when it mattered…/
And that made me all that I am when my time comes and they ask if/
The sky above tells all tales and your truth/
That’s why I look up and smile through the pain and never confuse/
My journey has been filled with the win and lose/
Crossing different paths and got lost on a few/
But I found my way… And now my road is anew.
I really like this poem it’s intense. I feel like I’m being led on a journey.
