Taken

I was taken for a ride
by another poets desire
to take my love
and warp it from above
but I got wise
to love in desguise
and I became stronger
my intuitions longing
for flying friendly skies
buying the ticket
waiting in line
the thrill of this chase
got me thinking
is this a 
 wonderful ride
or Satan's demise
so I took the time
to comprehend
that this game
wasn't my time
to explore my mind
in finding
the thrill ride
was just a game
in a players find
minding his rhyming
for pleasures of
unwinding inside
so I tore up 
the ticket
and walked away
thinking
to myself
I'm glad 
I ended
this game played
so I could 
be myself
with my quest
for real love
in playing
my way
