I don't want to be entitled.
I don't want to be called
the epitome of ethical,
the paragon of virtue
and the abridgment of righteousness.
I don't want to be the
lone specimen of the brightest future.
I don't want to be elected as
'The Future President'
I don't want to be an idol.
For if and when I fail,
My mind- that heard these words,
My mind-that expects itself to succeed
fails.
The burden of failure weighs me down.
The failure to succeed
showers down on me
I fail!
"Life has many ups and downs!"
They say.
Then why would mine be all up?
Why would mine be flawless?
I don't want to be entitled
'The topper'
For when I come second,
I crumble beneath the
hallucinations of disappointment.
I don't want to be entitled
'The Nerd'
for that personality that needs credit
is concealed beneath.
I don't want to be entitled
for it took me years to realize
that those titles were just
expectations- of strangers, not mine
Dreams- not for them, but for me.
Legacies grafted that need not be true.
It took me years to realize that
'I don't care to be entitled!'

Our God is bountiful because
He is the epitome of pious,
the paragon of virtue
and the abridgment of righteousness.
Rising from amidst the flame
of hope and unprecedented 'happiness'
a soul all too great
for we are his creatures
And he- our creation!
The 'unwavering' presence of Him
with his abode in our souls
his flattering and 'astounding' presence felt in every step
for we are his creatures
And he- our creation!
A guiding light...
The unflattering glimmer of hope
A life all along presiding under us...
beneath us....AMONG US!!!
for we are his creatures
And he- our creation!
Yes! He exists...not as one...
But as many...
Not Inside one!!
But inside millions!!
for we are his creatures
And he- our creation!
But yes he is the one...
The one and the only one!
Believe me....He is 'irreplaceable'
He is 'inevitable'!
But sure yes, we are his creatures
And he- our creation !
Well,
Our God is bountiful because
He is the One.
He is unparalleled!
An abridgment W is
For the water in the ocean;
It becomes high and it gets low,
Showing its shift in mild motion.
An abridgment W is
For the weight that's heavy or light;
It's important in boxing match,
Topresent a good and fair fight.
An abridgment W is
For the week with nice seven days;
It begins with Sunday so sweet,
As Saturday takes the last phase.
An abridgment W is
For the west with a summer wind;
It fervently waits for the sun
To silently set or descend.
Hitting rock bottom
Time to turn it around
Screw them
We are all death bound
Cherish every free moment
Keep your head up
Through this time of adjustment
In the face of the corrupt
Break out of the mold you created
Time for revamping
Control how you're elated
To the Past you must stop grasping
Open your mind
Pass no judgment
Then you will find
Abridgment
Pooling of fabrication
Part of deception and deceit
Hear their indignation
Struggle when you sleep
Must overcome the hardships
Pick up from the start
No time to worship
Drifting apart
Put up or shut up
No more talking
As the future develops
Dead you are walking
Now is the time
Feel the love
Reaction's enzyme
RISE ABOVE
Convalescence empathy
removes the grit of wear
my thoughts are now encompassing
before ~ were just aware!
Oh, bide my time in effigy
thee once were all I shared,
now look away in emptiness
with sullen eyes that stare!
That saying Faith brings sympathy
aloneness brings compare,
religious truth seems apathy
and nurtures with impair!
The grace to ride this seamy sea
abridgment rules as care
were not the cost of everything
love lost in virtues bear!
There must be time, repairing, free
that wholeness can entail,
the grudge, and fate, and angers flee
took us beyond avail!
No longer was I meant for you
no longer you for me,
forgiveness was not our affair
all else was enmity!
There must be time of reckoning
just ours ~ just meant to be,
that in this grave, unsettled world
our future holds esprit!
The morning comes ~ the evening's nigh
restoring its' degree,
still in our heart, we stay apart ~
. . . . . . . . . . . a separationing!
