Opportunity

Thank you for your attention. 
A blubbering idiot’s here. 
After I chose those that can be trouble for me. MY IDOL
just to better me in a conversational given verse.  
As I take note to better work with 
my easy killers to help sharpen steel for the house 
but I must talk with hidden under armor, 
till I’m a head with the shot. Guided ink by the likes 
of Em and Bob 
Meghan and Jay and J Blige. 
Tim O’Brien and any known to known for unknown, 
that should be um known 
before that artist death. Dead broke.  
I’m sure the talented Rupi Kaur have unsung idols 
or Stephen Spielberg’s energy 
for shot but from which part of shoot came from a down muse
to help with his title. 
Help with the edits for my benefit mostly, 
while I speak in skill instead of walking to you 
like we’re neighboring homies. Till actual smoke leave me laying cool.
Naw I’m cool. This a resume…
and you responded to it, why they wouldn’t?
I’m Joking fore’ NOTS 
and tears for aggression before a cool calm 
for a silent kid that made it with his crying mom’s happiness. 
She knows it’s not just me, we made it
from an actor’s other face. The mask is helpful 
because the helpful unmasked got blasted.
Well I’m not the second coming those shoes are too big 
for any one man but I’m bred from his pain. 
Even though I’m super ignorant me being talkative 
guides me with my placement in bigger feet. 
While I pull the train till cheers after smiling rings. 
To conduct from wasteful ways. 
I want my kin and close to have the stage
and then I can not answer while being told about
my sinful known mistakes. If I burn I don’t care 
as long as my blood line are no longer enslaved
mentally and will plan and take the good 
if I left any, add to it but do it their way. 
That’ll make my day after I’m captured 
just as long as they’re happy, full and safe 
and I left with my brain even if it’s 
unnoticed as sane. 
The big guys watching. 

So say what you want but if you 
don't want to be in the dark alone
and especially if you want to reach, 
not just English but Spanish, French, 
And Hindi speaking people. While the blind feel it.  
Scribble for communication from a difference for difference 
Of differences can be different with the same peace.

Boy I know you got it, now speak from heart 
without causing intentional damage because you will burn you 
and the ones you can help will not receive it. 
You're uncomfortable, good. 
Remember what you’re here for, now play.
