Flying Free

12/25/2020


Weather advisories
To the lowest and highest degree
People that were mean and nice to me
It's just how life can be
Getting rid of anxiety
I'm climbing trees
And flying free
Across the shining sea
They say timing's key
Take hold of your life, you're in the driving seat

Struggling to stay irie
It's been icy
And fiery
A struggle with sobriety
Just another cog in society

Yet all around me, folks take briberies
Fueling the fire for ongoing rivalries
Nearby small and giant trees

Why must we?
Always be on different sides it seems

Hieroglyphics, so difficult to decipher these
As well as objects from long ago of notoriety

I love the variety
Shoutout to Ebony and Ivory

Words hope to be kept privately
Locked inside of a diary
Got read during an invasion of privacy

If you choose to act out violently
Then you will meet your karma, no matter the irony

Too focused on what the bible reads
Instead of survival needs

This is it, finally
