Poem Title:
Poem
[A tribute I wrote/rapped after I graduated high school] i took a bittersweet look into the past flipping it and watching each grain fall back down that hourglass wish this hour could last, but what's a little sand? just a piece of dust falling through the cracks in my hand but matrimony bonds memories with eternity and the passion i had for my comrades still burns in me but it's my turn to fade out, like the first tags i put up on walls bearing witness to styles getting played out i spent three years in this one spot just to be forgot? along with chemistry study sheets, just shut and locked in that box that was like a home away from home where an apparent wealth of knowledge was bound to be grown... with closed eyes, lids like mirrors envision my soul, my mind so divine was each one of you that walked into my life i got love for you even if we might not talk anymore, you inspired me to explore so i guess this one's for you cuz i met a lot of false characters, but y'all stayed true and that's more than a guy could ask for, honestly respect given from me only comes modestly because respectable people are somewhat of a novelty in this life, travelling throught it like the odyssey i'm just a nomad with a notepad, a quote "grad" an alum from some fantasty in the midst of an era so sad but to friends who still have dreams, quench your thirst to succeed never let laymen corrupt that seed let it blossom with the efforvescence i know it takes effort but isnt that the essence? gotta give blessings to brothers who imparted the wisdom and found the courage to release the truth from within them i cherish your thoughts, and with them i'm never lost keep your words locked and that's something i'll never cross if this sounds pretentious, i'm sorry dude but i was told that a faithful heart makes wishes come true so i feel a last little push from me couldn't hurt here you go my friends, and i truly hope it works until we meet again, it's really been a blast always remember the times we had, hourglass.
