Poem Title:
Poem
I There’s only a few things I take seriously One of them is writing furiously Cleverly spinning verses Inked in cursive Certainly no stranger to adversity Head nodding Word dropping non stopping Versing with an urgency Invasive with my mental’s Liked I termed the word insurgency Laser refined this vision of mine Is Precision like it’s surgery These thoughts flow faster than Quicksilver Or the element known as mercury Time steadily keeps on hurtin me What’s it worth to me? Has it ever really worked for me? These questions whisper up my spine And linger on my mind God says we have to walk by faith So should that make me walk blind? I’m wondering if I can read between the lines I’ve been out of line Maybe a time or two That all depends upon who your talking to.. I find myself by myself Looking in the mirror like who the F are you?! There are some days I’m outta my head As soon as I get outta my bed I’m reaching my limit Hate to be the one who has to repeat What he said Some people are ignorant And color blind Cuz my Patience meter Is pushing towards red Their wheel keeps on spinning But obviously the hampster is dead People always judge me like They judge a book by its cover I’ve learned hard lessons Like never let those closest to me Also be close to any lover I love my best friends like I love my brothers But betrayal is the reason There are so many being buried By their mothers My whole life I’ve been the one Always underestimated Faded Jaded Never thinking that I would be the one To stand and say I’d made it I’m so committed The shade you throw Only keeps me shaded Salt and pepper Silver haired The ladies love that I’m distinguished I’m talented with the pen skills I flow like water You say your fire But this talent leaves you extinguished Diminishing And finishing Whatever it is your witnessing Better bring one of your boys Cuz I’m hungry Like F, it ima win this thing I’m in this thing Writing like I’m feeding an addiction Kicking Wisdom and knowledge To shine light on your spiritual affliction No cursing in my versing My language is clean So the message is clear I’ve been facing down my demons While your too fragile Too stand and face your fears I’ve been doing this for years Writing til you say to stop it Been having dreams and visions I think that I might be a prophet I do this as a hobby I will never do this to make a profit Never feeling like I have to battle rap Any wack or impersonating rapper Most only say it but don’t live 95% of y’all are actors I would rather uplift than light a spliff I’m too concerned with what comes after This Life is just a boot camp And after this we meet the Master I’m ready to meet Him The sands of my time Keep flowing ever faster I’m not concerned with anything But the legacy I’m leaving after..
