Retreat From Defeat
My mind is moving and brewing towards improving/
The heart finds pathways stewing me to be nurturing/
Lives in this part bind fast ways of learning/
Strife in this heart grinds for days I’m deserving/
Brief is the restart of times that’ll be concerning/
Relief gives a depart from jives people may be concocting/
Believe it’s smart to stop and strive before any con locking/
He heaves pits apart through slop addicted prone docking/
Be free and forget dirt thrown or mishaps that have afflicted/
Bad bees sting everywhere deep, what are you a resident in?/
Can’t leave everything and everywhere or avoid feelings more sore/
Lent a reprieve and sent a report to raise noise ceilings for score/
Said I’d see if it’d be agreed to resort to a choice retort/
I need to retreat from the heap of defeat I used to call home peak/
Otherwise I’ll seep in defeat and be seated bleak not so unique/
I’d cover my eyes and ears with a fleet of apathy to keep/
I discovered all advice smart heeded to me I would be cheap and pay no attention/
Now uncovered is a nice, respectful style with more compassion to forgo tension
