Shadow

11/22/20 Feels like I'm on and off of Mt. Kilimanjaro Staying happy not wallowing in misery and sorrow Trying to make the best of each day and night, since I might not see tomorrow I know that time can not be borrowed Whereupon I'd stare upon The night sky as time flied, then I continued the marathon Once in a blue moon, was a paragon Heard of, but not familiar with Farrakhan The same can be said for hair of the dog I've been hearing it And experienced Still not taking me serious At times, it makes me furious Then I get drunk and delirious But now, I'm just curious What is it about me, that makes every girl steer clear of this? Just another question, remaining mysterious So unexpected, what this life brings Even though, there wasn't any strings This one stings I wanted to treat you like a queen and be your king Buy you rings, and all kinds of things Animals that do or don't have wings On a property with a swing And a spring Whelp Another heavy punch dealt Below the belt And this one, I really felt No, I'm not just feeling myself I really don't need help But I'm looking to give it to somebody else If only she felt, how I really felt I wanted to make her heart melt And stand out, but I feel like I've been put back on the shelf At times I had doubts I'm not going to bad mouth Or look for any hand outs Got to get it, fast now It's so sad how Here I am with just my shadow
