Let the Lines Define

Established as the world beats me down Not going down without a fight I’m surviving these twelve rounds My passion’s what I’ve found You can hear it through every heart beat that sounds Swimming in thoughts by the pounds Attempts to never frown Fighting to never drown Seeing skylines from mountain tops Free styling prophecies as soon as the beat drops We’re mentally sound as we lounge on trees that are downed Combinations and word patterns that drown out the social chatter Talking of topics that truly matter Conversation filled with laughter These are the bonds that I’m after Half a decade into a new chapter Dreams are obvious factors when life tosses disaster Memories I choose to capture It’s evident when I binge write Words to defend what’s right I’ve put forth the effort I can say I’ve really tried These words are a guide for my life Why do I not believe in god? My dreams are too easy for him to dodge God could be the ultimate facade The story seems odd and robs the mind of its job Life continues to live on So live as one Peace of a settled mind that fought hard to keep its design Crafty words written on the line Spiraling out of pages and changing the times Stick with your goals and stay on your grind
