The Word

Among my reflective insecurities and troubling visions Came thoughts of making many foolish decisions Memories of being too lazy to even improve my state And stepping off of life’s carousel to just meditate While all of this did nothing more than calm me I soon retired as the man I always wanted to be, A creative person whose writings influenced others Ignoring my work hard and get ahead brothers No more interest in the shark tank or the city bank And for these reflections I have the word to thank
