All these people about their daily lives,And me about mine,A few stand out to me: There’s Davids on his board again,Kevin’s laughing with a group of friends,Birds flying in the sunset over a meadow. Blue Shift by Kendall :3 is playing in the background,Danny is smiling from ear to ear,Lp just earned a bunch of …
Over and over the cassette plays,The same song from the dawn of days,A million times thoughts streak across,A million times laid on the same cross. Will the scepsis ever stop?Will the voices ever go away? At the end of days, on blackened stone,An inscription writ on a battered throne:Here sat the fool whose eagle eyesSaw …
Turn the pages ‘till the break of day,Dance like there’s no one with anything to say,Kiss the mirror; your own self do not betray. Aghast at deceptions and half-truths,And though oft’ your mind in solace will brewlies and untruths,To thine own self be true.
Learn to be bold in adversityavoidant of conceit,To be generous in victoryand gracious in defeat.Ignore not the ladywho has ceased from mental fightnor the gentlemanwho of his goal has lost sight;He who could not stand;who let his sword sleep in his hand.Tell all your truth and be wary of lies,Love, be undaunted by the final …
In the quiet and small hours, a mind awake, Thinking of home with untrifling heartache . Unseen threads pull at the heart, One and their home, a world apart. A quiet, muted song, for where one’s heart belongs.
Hanging on a cliffI looked down and saw Death’s charming smileI smiled back and said,“Not today, lil nigga”,And pulled myself up,Dusted my clothesAnd walked home.
In healing’s gentle light,Scars fade, shadows take flight.Heart blooms, renewed refrain,Grace whispers through the pain.
Having gone through what you’ve gone throughand survived what you have survived,Having seen the people who were always with you;your joy who contrived,And having seen snakes with faces two; your fall who connived.To heal and stand, recovered from an austere bleed,To have lived to this age is a very splendid thing indeed.
