what's really good about my life, my pride, the joys, the sorrows
the past, the present, the todays and tomorrows
the dreams, the nightmares, the focus, the distortions
the closures of my past, dead and nailed in the coffin
the trials and errors, the sins, the testimonials
the stresses, the guesses, the few I lent money to
the paybacks, the struggles, the hardships, insomnia
the sleepless nights I had to fight within the lines of
the looseleaf...the words that defy my self worth
the discipline implanted in my blood since birth
the honor, the respect, the triumphs, the wealth
the chances I take adding salt to my health
the broken laws of nutrition, the common fears
the reformation, the hopes of seeing 30 more years
the shortness of breath that I measure with the melody
the ex's I sexed with, the love, the infidelity
the trust, the promises, the goals, the causes
the fast forwards, the rewinds, plays and pauses
the smiles, the frowns, the highs, the lows
the checks, the balances, the ebbs, the flows
the questions, the periods at the end of a sentence
the vows, and the proof behind the ring that says I meant it
the marriage, the break up, the file for divorce
the surprise, the cries of my little man's loss
the voices, the choices, the moving-on process
moving on slowly, but slowly making progress
the insights that empower me...paid by the hourly
the courage that outshines the weak and cowardly
the sweat, the blood, the meaning of existence
the mind, the body, the soul, the significance
the bio, the man, the career, the positions
the ounce of my keys; care to snort my condition?
This is inspirational. I was suffering from writers block but you have just snampped me out of it. You are phenomenal, baby. I know talent when I read it and you are one of the best. Go 'head wit you bad self!!!!! Keep doing your do's!!!
I'm really loving the execution of your rhythm on this one.. as usual.. I haven't written in a while due to some issues that LIFE is trying to SUPPRESS & OPPRESS & DEPRESS me with.. but I believe that visiting your 'spot' will help me to find my itch for the pen again.. Thanks..
& Stay Blessed..
