Sometimes Part 2
10/11/21
Sometimes
I wanted to lay low
Or get recognized
Stormy nights and days with rainbows
Was it all really like what is televised
I think not, but for you and me I wish us the best in life
Any wrongs we've done let's set it right
Meanwhile opposition continues to weaponize
Life being compromised
And jeopardized
Sometimes
I would read in-between the lines
Gave it all a lot of tries
It took more that fifteen times
Sometimes
As one of the guys
I went against what was ill-advised
Drunk and high
The outcome I paid for or it was minimized
Sometimes
I couldn't always rationalize
The answer difficult to find
And describe
As I continued to analyze
Sometimes
Areas got vandalized
There was scandal and lies
Leaving others agonized
Sometimes
I was being blind
Instead of opening up my mind
And eyes
Sometimes
I'd hide behind
A disguise
Anything to get the prize
Sometimes
I went counter clock wise
Having many lows and highs
Sometimes
The skies
Left me mesmerized
The same could be said for Fireflies
Sometimes
It wasn't all what I surmised
Or had in mind
It was quite the surprise
Sometimes
They would patronize
And chastise
Time after time
Stab you in the back with knives
Sometimes
My eyes
Would dilate to a bigger size
Felt lethargic or energized
Being lazy or exercised
Took it personally or was desensitized
Sometimes
They say it's a sign
Of the times
Among all these enzymes
It's unclear or the lines
Being drawn are fine
Sometimes I felt alive inside
And revitalized
Nearby a rising tide
It's all been an exciting ride
If I die it's fine
