Poem
Manifest me But what does that look like Broken apart peice by peice Entangled in what I was and what i want to be now Enticed in an illusion of what I should be Confused be the illustrations of my life those far Colored in the lines for so long Outside the box was insecure Now the picture I want to paint is no work of art Impressions of the life I once had It's so shaded so unclear When I could no longer out run the past I tried to stay in the colors of simplicity But where did that get me Here and now alone in the decisions I made Caught between the childhood that never was And the adulthood of evil realities These concepts of what could be Were erased by time but still there in some shape or form An abstract into the complexity of a man There was no soul purpose no heart to his game Integrity non existent It was almost like a blur in time A fracture in my own conception It took everything away from me I never stood there and fought I gave up on what I could have been Now here at 48 I try to reason with myself Chase the demons away with self gratification I am what is wrong with so many in this generation I keep it all hidden Soulless eyes is what you all saw I have beat myself up over and over again I am not the one for you I am not your shining star I feel more like the space junk that has no direction when it crashes to the surface I have ignored all the advice all the knowledge you gave for what to be unprepared for the inevitable. It's a vicious cycle A two timing cheat on myself When I know I can write all my wrongs But I just get in my own way over and over I am the catastrophe of my own intuition I sit here and write tonight bearing my soul to you But in essence it's to my own self You see way more in me then I do in myself So tonight I am taking a step forward into the haunted house I call my emotion I would like you all to see that We all have these demons but why should we let them get to us. We can't let them win We can't turn the control over to them We have to be our true incarnation of our own reality We must move forward and grow Step outside the norm and become the absolute best Version of us we can be because in the end who is the only one who has to live with us. It's me......
