I take ridicule and turn it into gold.
I was always told:
“Be what you want to be.”
So I am, me.
Hopefully filled, with novelty skills.
The pain that drilled my head,
I killed them all, they’re dead.
The demons that led, me astray.
It made a way, for me to escape.
I take what I took,
And don’t even look,
Back in the mind, there’s no rewind
Or fast forward time.
A simple mind could leave you blind,
Or,
Send you on a care free, killing spree.
I drift with the motions,
Coast with the oceans.
I see, all that’s seen.
Everything is once a dream.
In your head,
Captivated.
By do’s and don’ts
When I say I wont,
I wont.
I will do my best,
Not the best-est.
I don’t compete for everyday tests.
Slowly figuring out
The more and the less.
I see, time is infinity.
Never ending, stop pretending.
Breathe and let it be.
Find yourself more happy then before.
You found yourself a lady your adore.
Around her, you feel less poor.
More rich and hear to the core.
I see this romance and
Just want to slow dance.
Going ants over your face,
Is my favorite place to be
I devote myself to the.
The path in which I walk
Is my way of talk.
Battles and struggles,
Meet the light at the end of the tunnel.
Nothing lasts forever,
Each moment I do endeavor.
Think of the better,
Over the worst,
Just like water to quench your thirst.
I stride to override
How I feel inside.
But I can’t hide what’s already hidden.
We die in this life of non-fiction.
No tricks up my sleeve,
To get what I need,
I write a creed to which I believe
Is my key to succeed.
The path in which I walk
Is my way of talk.
Battles and struggles,
Meet the light at the end of the tunnel.
Nothing lasts forever,
Each moment I do endeavor.
Think of the better,
Over the worst,
Just like water to quench your thirst.
I stride to override
How I feel inside.
But I can’t hide what’s already hidden.
We die in this life of non-fiction.
No tricks up my sleeve,
To get what I need,
I write a creed to which I believe
Is my key to succeed.
Out and about, in a forest.
I began to shout,
“ I adore this!”
Plant and animal life
Two worlds collide into mine.
I do not hide.
My love overrides,
Nature, quite close to nurture;
I’m at peace with the trees.
I sit outside
And watch the world go by.
Squirrels and birds say hi,
Unlike any words I speak:
Tweet, Tweet.
I smirk from cheek to cheek.
Happy to view
The clouds that move.
Spinning so fast that we cant feel,
I’m just another who wants mass appeal.
A sky so clear, you could see the galaxy.
I shed a tear for it has to be,
Motionless in gravity.
I don’t see, what is exactly,
Ordinary.
A tree that reaches the sky,
A snake, we meet eyes.
He tells me, “I’ll change our lives.”
“If you see me, you’re about change.
It might seem strange, talking to a snake,
But if you see, it cannot be fake.”
Through my eyes, it’s my life to take.
Many would say a snake is deceitful.
Since my encounter, I’ve been nothing but peaceful.
The serpent has spoken,
At a time when I was once choking,
I was then chosen.
My spirit is cold blooded.
Skin flooded by scales.
Scent with my tongue, to find a trail.
My destination is still unknown,
Some grown,
Some numb
Some grown and feel like a bum.
Troublesome as I was,
Everyday spent getting buzzed.
Change interrupted,
My brain became corrupted.
So I lost my focus.
I found realization at my lowest
So I think of the scales
Knowing, I will not fail.
I live to tell the tale
Of the snake I met,
The change I made, with no regrets.
Expect nothing so you’re always surprised.
Open your eyes and realize
How to live your life.
A snake eats its mice.
I may not have a lot,
But I do have some to spot.
Anyway that I can help, I will.
I know how It feels to have your
pockets drilled.
Money rules, consumer’s a fool.
Materialism can be cruel,
So lend a hand to a man in need.
Help, so everyone can succeed.
No greed, don’t misbelieve.
I move through time quick,
So much that it makes me sick.
Slow down and see what’s there
Slow down and show you care.
Moving so fast you forget you’re living,
It’s now time that I start giving,
Back to reality
Before my own fatality,
I speed, in need of a feeling.
A rush that I can touch
Instead of dealing.
I speed for the feeling.
