Convoluted
11/22/21
This is sad, it makes me sigh
Why try to lie?
My guy I spy
That there's more to life
Than getting high
Wasting money and time
To change it, effort is what you must apply
Go ahead roll the dye
You might be surprised from what you find
Make the best of it, before it's goodbye
Good and bad occurring in daylight and at night
For a long time the heart sat on ice
Eventually you got to make a sacrifice
Do what's right, not follow bad advice
Just about everything has a price
But some things don't now isn't that nice
Have you ever had sushi with black rice?
No need to open up
People still at each other's throats so much
Is that a joke or what?
Inaccurately computed
Causing another relationship to be ruined
As they continually feuded
It was convoluted
Being disputed
Still too soon to be concluded
Don't be stupid
And feel so wounded
You got to do better and get through it
Spirit and energy boosted
Approach rerouted
In an area that is moonlit
More than musing
In a life that can be simple yet confusing
Make the best of it, all of your choosing
As a human
Often I brooded
Searching for meaning and cupid
Don't care about a new trend
Regardless of who says
I got a message to send
Getting pushed to the edge
Tying up any loose ends
Shoutout to my few friends
This all gave me a true sense
Of reality nearby a bamboo fence
Can't let any nuisance
Or jealousy
Get the best of me
Let it be
Don't give in to the negative energy
So they say allegedly
Still marching to my own melody
At times it was hell for me
Or it turned out heavenly
Incredibly
It happened intentionally
Or accidentally
Of a similar or different pedigree
Could soon be the end for me
They wished the best for me
Thought less of me
Or hoped I'd wind up dead you see
Always something impacting longevity
Struggling and wrestling
Continually questioning
With thoughts and feelings that are unsettling
No matter if they're meddling
I'll leave them trembling
Quickly disassembling
Leading to the end of things
Nothing else developing
I'm first not no second string
The whole nine including a wedding ring
Regardless of there eventually being a reckoning
