The World Aint Mine

I love money but it will never become the death of me/
I love poetry so that must become my destiny/
I love my sight but i would trade it just so i can see/
A new vision/
Threw out the darkest night/
A poetic collision/
To help me develop a new sight/
To help me make my decision/
And over come my fear of this new hight/
To guide me threw the competition/
And become my new light/  
Despite... 
The fact that da world aint mine/
So I carry the vision in my mind/
just in case i go blind/
And attempt rewind/
Time and watch as the hands on the clock rotate counter clock wise/
And I watch this all behind the darkness of my brown eyes/
For those of you that cant tell that means my eyes are shut tight/
And I allow the darkest vision to become my inspiration and light/
Despite....
The fact that the world aint mine/
So I take the batteries out of my watch to try to save time/
So that I wont be late standing in heaven's line/
With several questions on my mind/
Like dear lord please tell me is this my sign/
Am i pose to release my thought in this poetic rhyme/
Is this the reason you gave me this talent to deposit a poetic hymn/
I stand with the questions build inside of me/
All I can do is wait patently/
For my turn/
Hopeful I slip and fall and that will be another lesson learned/
Maybe that is my main concern/
I sit and wonder what is my main purpose in life/
Sometimes I catch myself adjusting the lens in my glasses to try 2 develop and deliver  a new sight/
Now that aint right/
Im trying to exceed to my highest level in life/
But i cant do it cuz im scared of heights/
Im in life's airport lookin for my flight/
Cuz i dont see what the purpose is/
I mean tell me if you feeling this/
Tell me If you hearing this/
I mean let me know do you think I sound ignorant/
Ignorance is bliss/
But its more noticeable then this/
Word..../
this sounds like something i never heard/
Even though its hard to believe this is my spoken word/

"I love my sight but i would trade it just so i can see," that's a powerful line." "Im trying to exceed to my highest level in life," I'm striving for this, too.

Kareena, it's ok to utilize 'spoken' linguistics in your work! see my haiku "Mojo Buttons" I wrote just a few days ago! I often utilize this technique to emphasize my pure feelings...I feel if I write honestly, the reader will receive all I got!!! and you have shown us a beautiful stream of thought here! welcome to the soup! thanks for your warm comments! and keep writin'!!!! Love, Jim

It should have been listed as a rhyme. It is a good one, too. Do you go to readings? Fine work! Sincerely Matthew Anish
