How Writing Works Within the Unfinished Seal of Fate
Within the chemicals
remain your mind
somewhere the soul divine
within inspiration
everything you say and do
not depending on the clothes you wear
or the shoes that define you
you are a writer
gift from soul learn lessons
want to share them
with spaces perplexed reason trapped within
as you become an artist your soul begins to scream horrors
cry and shout
you begin realizing the nightmare
pessimism's hellfire's
truths wonders doubts
don't fret my friend for this is only the beginning of your gift
only a matter of time
for your brain
creativity to understand privilege
blueprint or the script
essence has developed
take it slow learn tools of expression
when your mind notices
you are paying attention to your spirit
your soul, doors begin opening and closing
all tumble down this rabbit hole
when you learn to express feelings inside
start to understand there are many sides to this puzzle in time
start to understand life lessons
and the beauty of art
you become humbled enraged
smart stupid and full of heart
keep asking questions
don't forget to go back through your own pages and answer them
don't forget to look through insecurities
unanswered prayers
tell yourself what you have learned from them
don't deny your lessons your heart is begging you to learn
keep in mind as you grow to become wise
throughout time
philosophers
great thinkers
prophets
historical revolutionaries
were also once blind
reasoned with the puzzles inside
when your brain realizes you are listening to your thoughts
your mind begins playing tricks
whether you like it or not
see through the illusion
learn which voice to hate more than you
and offer yourself clues
to go back on to which door
you obviously readily did choose
keep in mind you are beautiful and your soul
the angels mans plans and god will pave the way
you might feel lonely like everyone but there will come a day
when all the loose ends fit
and you see your piece of the bigger puzzle
your voice of reason in the insanity
screaming filth
that’s a blessing to be heard
but don't forget
you choke on your own words.
