POSITIVELY THROUGH HELL
They say: Nothing's new on this surface of mother earth.
The mouth that speaks life must have tasted death.
The eyes that sees optimism must have seen dead-ends.
The smiles that accentuates must have been puffs of sighs.
The life you see is the survival of close shaves of death.
We're masters of suppression of pain beneath.
Positive peeps are not just positive enough
because they skated through tempest of life.
They're positive cause they've got stories to tell,
scales to shell-off as they've been through hell
and decided not to live there anymore.
Positive peeps are eliminators of a terrible life sore,
They are the hell survivors of a great War.

i come around
ignorance is the educator
i see new things
blinking blinders was once eliminators
there was a sign once upon a time
the words changed my life for the good and for the better
the central theme had to do with mind expansion
it really brought things back home to the roots of me
re-reminded of my dusty, rusty dreams
i pack a few suitcases and drive myself somewhere
what i discovered was i kept myself from
i had to admit that the enabler was me
i gave myself an intervention for the ages
like a punch in the eye, i felt the pain
like a true wake up call, i finally used my brain
actually enjoying life returned me back to sane
i must admit with each tear....it's so good to be back here....
