Bettering through inspiration

Inspiration looks different,
When all you’ve felt is anger,
Trying to not be viewed as belligerent,
Your mind and self are your only anchor.


Inspiration brightens you’re life,
Makes your days go by easy
Keeps you from getting into a strife
Because being kind isn’t measly



Inspiration comes from many people
Maybe your mom or father
For me it comes from kind people
Which will continue to push me farther.

Premium MemberI Care, I Search

I care I search for the missing piece in my life
the one thing that holds true happiness
will it be in the choices that I make?
is it living one day at a time bettering myself?
I am who and what I search for
hoping the past doesn't repeat itself 
I am the glue still looking for the missing piece

Premium MemberApologists

...anywhere and about, an apology alters an argument.
Before--bickering breaths boxed bigotry besides bettering bases.

Closure cutoffs, constants considerable circulation, contradicting confusing controversies.

Detrimental debates deliver disturbing discernment, distinguishing divisions' defense.

Every episode extracted evidence, excluding even elements.
Familiar facts fathomed fantastic fiction, fractured factions--following...
(the last line returns to the first line and ends)

The Feeling Inside

Egos feed off the things you achieve
Not bettering people as some do believe 
It's a diet of what you can do and can be 
Never bias comparison of ability 

If you don't feed it you'll find jealousy 
Bitterness reigns and feeds on envy 
Literal pain breeds dominantly 
Accomplishments prevent it being empty 

If you don't get better or you don't learn more 
you'll be upset and you'll be left sore 
When you get up and go you'll feel the reward 
The feeling inside the ego longs for 

Your ego lives inside where it's always been 
It finds food inside not from what you have seen 
It feeds off of feelings not visual scenes 
Don't live an illusion when you can chase dreams

Premium MemberTruth

Everyone wants to be admired,
To write the poem that inspires.
A piece of oneself to change the world,
Bettering the next generation of boys and girls.

But what is it that I can say,
That will change the course of your day?
That you would help one and another,
And change your enemy to be your brother?

It's not that we can't face the truth,
It's just that we just go along.
I'm as guilty as you are,
But maybe you will write the song?

Surpass In Excellence

S-urpass in excellence, 
H-ear the words of wisdom; 
E-agerly learn the lesson
I-n reaching God's kingdom.
E-arnestly surpass in excellence, 
S-how your ability; 
C-apable of bettering your own, 
A-im to taste the victory.

C-ome surpass in excellence, 
A-s you gain the knowledge; 
S-eek the voice of truth, 
T-urn not a deaf ear to message.
R-each the best finish, using your intelligence; 
O-n the twenty-fourth of September, surpass in excellence.

Mad Until Achieved

I'll achieve the impossible
and you'll say I'm mad
reveal the improbable 
as truthful fact 

Blinded by horizons 
dismissing my plight 
forget the sun rises
and with it comes sight

I'll travel the path 
you fear to attempt
you'll have a laugh
as hear of events 

and I'll carry on
as I see what you can't 
thoughts of "he's gone"
thinking at distance 

reputation will tarnish
avoidance you'll choose 
socially banished 
destroyed and will lose

And you'll all be right
common opinions breed
stood tall I'll fight
a constantly believe

I'll be the joke 
the mad man you poke
freedom to stoke 
make fun of this bloke

no benefit of the doubt
you're better than me
as I slug it out
bettering me

and I'll achieve something you never will 
when suddenly there's change to the way you feel
my madness now skill, an achieve most real 
you called me insane but you're run of the mill

I'll forever inspire
you will not 
my clever desire
you thought was lost plot 

It'll be what you didn't
and only I could 
you'll be just an isn't 
and I'll be the good

Peace and Love, Homie

Hey, we're going to the station
But I gotta warn you this is no vacation
We're out here to find peace of mind
A piece of time to rewind and remind
Reality is heavy but we're strong
We'll stand against the wrong
At the forum we'll post a bill of every lie
And hold them there until we ask why
Everything is corroding at the foundation
When we're the wealthiest nation
But there is a history of misery 
And it's not a mystery given their trickery
While the rich steadily get richer
I may not have aim but I'll play the pitcher
Throwing curve balls and facts
Fending off mass media attacks
Your legacy is dead soldiers on foreign land
For oil buried deep in the sand
Our economy is made of paper
And as that paper burns I see the caper
But all the money in the world is fool's gold
Compared to empathy and compassion if you behold
A better world of united people bettering each other
Holding hands with our sisters and brothers
There's still time for you to do the right thing
And perhaps that is when we can all sing
Homie, it's all about peace and love
It's all about peace and love

The Man of Men

We all want to be the man of men
setting trends like Eminem
be independant like a pendulum 
and depended on to pen beyond 
with wisdom for friend and young.

bettering everyone as we're second to none
defend competition titles we've won
in complete repetition we stay at the front
handling hurdles and troubles 
whilst applauded and humble,
but we tumble, we fall, lose sight of it all,
see distractions and bad reactions then grumble,
back to seek satisfaction when found we want more
perhaps leads us back to miserable, I'm not sure.

We find meaning through metaphors 
dream of immense reward
wish many miracles 
whilst tending our given cause.

Life is all these things, the dreams and real scenes,
and we're living it,
now imagine your life if you were never given it.

Empty.


*Each man is the man of men,
(and because of the politically correct age we live in),
I'll state, men stand equal to women,
and each woman is the woman of women,
because those that are not, aren't living,
imagine your life if it was never given.

Bettering Myself

I used to be silent,
walking this earth with no voice,
unable to speak for myself....
to myself....
I felt useless....
I felt like I was the one,
who couldn't do anything right.

I was the one who refused to fight,
I used to try with all my might,
to keep things at peace....
to be your strength,
your joy,
your smile....
I thrived on your love and touch....

I spent nights silently weeping,
because i loved you so much,
but you betrayed me in the worst way....
and you didn't have the guts to say....
you were sorry for it all,
you just did your thing,
and watch everything burn....

Well now it's your turn.

I used to walk in your shadow,
being the best thing to happen to you,
or so, you said....
but now, it's time for you to watch me rise....
rise from the ashes of your dreams,
rise from the depths of nothingness,
rise up to become a better person.

Watch as I fly right past you,
as I take my life back,
as I regain my family,
as I get back my friends,
watch as I right every wrong....

You had your chance....

What Thunder Struck

what thunder struck
have
i
less lightnings heart break
storm me through vacuums violations
find me brokenness
tatter me torn
lay me still
plant me
bury me
face
me
do me bettering still
revolving perpetual wheel
onto spinning canary feels
this gas'ing we breathe life
intoxicated throughout it all
intoxicating doubts crawl
breathing deeper to fall
not  breathing at all
returning to dust
what thunder
struck
?
