Fears Bondage

I put my heart on the line so many times,
I shared so much, I never felt the need to hide,
I viewed it as freedom to speak up and out,
I chose faith over fear more than anything else,
I watched fear debilitate and anxiety ridden,
Over cautious hearts believing it's wisdom to stay hidden,
All because they were scared of reactions and opinions,
They allowed their fears to dictate their decisions,
I didn't want to feel trapped by fears gruesome eyes,
I didn't want to live in bondage when I could see through the lies,
My heart ached to speak out, and stare fear in the face,
And vowed to God and myself ide never live that way,
And then of course, when you go against the grain,
You will always have some people who will say,
She shares too much, she's just seeking attention,
When they have no idea about her true intentions,
To care more, to free you too,
To break down feelings of fear so love will shine through.


whatever happened to

it’s lonely standing outside the cage
  with the left of centre attitude
             as
the majority look upon 
                      with disdain

whatever happened to freedom of expression?


   the darkness casts no shadows
              now that
the sold dream        has morphed 
         into a nightmare
and 
    the path to dystopia 
            is starting to get worn

populism has become
          democracies illusion
when opinions expressed
          go against the grain

whatever happened to 
       freedom to free speech?


a muzzled voice can’t scream
     so they just point  
and silently laugh
                  at the different

      but who is laughing?

behind the light the fork tongue speaks
through blinded eyes and closed ears
they perceive it to be true

the oils blackness has now seeped

the 21st century plague has eaten 

the jelly brains now blindly follow
   
      question not

 when the alarm bell rings
they all stop to sing 
     its tune
and those standing left of centre
are looked upon with disdain

whatever happened to the right
of having a different opinion?

If I Give All I Give

If I get up and go against the grain
taking the energy found in pain 
consume to use on retraining my brain 
going all out 
crushing doubt 
with ignorance 
to grasp the chances  
reclaim my existence 
for all that it is 
surging with resistance 
recycling insistence 
a rejection of depression, 
where being active’s compressed 
and suffering impressed 
with stress inheritance ingest 
squash it dead with pressure 
until leisure out measures 
and I've widen feathers 
an endeavour 
to no matter whatever never 
be imprisoned to rot 
to have risen with all given 
as to give myself a life worth living 

if I give all I give and leave nothing spare 
sparring the enemy til the enemy not there
I will be forever a winner 
with a legacy that'll never see 
the enemy in me roam free 
depression in a state of deceased 
leaving me living with freedom and peace

What Is Poetry I Never Really

I never really question people’s word unless it has no emotions
I never really understood till now why poetry is such blessing
I never really thought to do such wonderful words with feelings
I never really understood why people seem to say it need more
I never really quite thought that being judge to say thing would be fun
I never really understood what a paragraph and sentence structure is
I never really ask why people want to change my words around
I never really understood why emotional remark on someone is so
I never really ask for any of any remark to bother me but it does
I never really understood why implicate to change some emotional value
I never really judge the peoples word because to judge is to find false
I never really understood what positive reinforcement till now
I never really had English as my first language and learned to speak it as a child
I never really understood why mimicking parents to say words was important
I never really once decided to write I am better than any one
I never really understood why it is important to let someone know you care
I never really let one to feel so down that they think about rewriting 
I never really understood why lectures is to improve, but they are to be aware
I never really like to go against the grain, but I do, and things are better
I never really understood why I am special, yet I seem to fall on words
I never really test one who has more experience, but ask questions
I never really understood how we are all the same in every word

Against the grain

I go against the grain, this is the journey I’m in
I waited for reality… until I dreamed.
You’re now a memory, I bought you a cake,
I got lost in the past, and from there, I escaped.

I walked aimlessly, just for the faith
That through all the smoke, I’d see you again.
I kept your words, then tore them apart,
Today I embrace the wind, no longer your yesterday.

How many times I searched for your glance in the shadows,
Ignoring me… made me stronger,
It forced me to hide.
It was my fault, my strength broken,
Power is nothing without desire
Until I found the speed to feel okay.

I caught your gestures, your ways, your stride,
But the glow faded, it no longer knows how to shine.
And your smile… it begins to drown me,
Like a memory that refuses to let go.

I walked aimlessly, just for the faith
That through all the smoke, I’d see you again.
I kept your words, then tore them apart,
Today I embrace the wind, no longer your yesterday.

Heart

Oh’ heart you are such a fragile thing, from you dancers dance and singers sing.
The painter paints their next masterpiece, with you in every stroke of the paintbrush or step, sudden movement in the dance routine.
You spark inspiration to pursue every ridiculous go against the grain aspirations hopes and dreams. Although you are the strongest muscle in the living body you are sensitive to pain, once you are broke how can you heal again? You are the root of all things that represent love and compassion. You are the fuel to where one can find their passion. Your language is a complex one because words are limited to what only emotions can say. You are the one who helps determine the tone of every day. If you are not feeling something than I’m not feeling something and the passion begins to fade. However once a connection is made the spark rekindles the fire deep inside to burn away to blaze a trail and follow whatever you are drawn to. Sometime in the form of I love you other times there may be the desire to do evil and corrupt things depending on the exposure. Once you are restored to your former state only you know the right time for everything and you are never late.

Premium Member Archer of the Forest

Deep in the forest
Outlaws lie in wait
For well off noblemen
Their monies to take
 
They steal from the rich
And share with the poor
How long can they hide
In their forest so pure
 
This band of commoners
Go against the grain
The Sheriff of Nottingham
To have them slain
 
The followers who follow
These outlaws so bold
To introduce them
Your about to be told
 
There's Little Joan
A girl so large
She bowls men over
With the strength of her charge
 
Then there's Touch
The Miller's daughter
Who keeps doing things
She shouldn't off aught to
 
Willena Scarlet
Demanded clothing and a horse
If this never happened
Her language became coarse
 
Not forgetting
Nena the nun
Whose amazing beauty
Made the enemy run
 
And the last of the gang
Butler Bill
Whose amazing weaponry
Made this leader shrill
 
You've met her gang
Now meet their leader
She's Robyn Hood
An out and out heart bleeder
 
Dressed in black leathers
Low cut front
Cleavage guys die for
Which makes them grunt
 
It's not the poem
You thought it was
But why the change
Och, just because

What U Make of It

i sit and focus on my purpose//
provin to myself, and then the world, that im not worthless//
contemplate measures to take to make it hurt less//
the pain that courses through my viens//
every thought seems to go against the grain//
nothing i do that i used to feels quite the same//
but i sit and smoke and zone out to see the world simple and plain//
everything we do is a play in a game//
with consequences that are real and can potentially mame//
and mutulate your vision of whut is ur true fate//
a date with destiny that will eventually take place//
but until then the physical is stuck in the same place//
but the mental roams around freely at its own pace//
sometimes rapid, other times sluggish//
life has the potential to proceed the smoothest or the roughest//
its all what we make of it//
the way we roll with the punches//
and counter with hooks that cause us to be triumphant//
able to look through the dumb and evaluate quickly on wut to come with//
whether to duck left right or back//
then to determine the best route of attack//
and like that the obstacle that had us seemingly trapped//
has passed like a mic in a cypher at night//
filled with only kids who had hunger and drastic appetite//
to hold that device that aids our raps so nice//
see life is like a blunt u twist//
its all what u make of it...

Live Life To the Fullest Before Its the Final End

The sands of time are falling away
Make sure to make the most out of each and every day
Release all of your hate and conqueror your fear
Don’t have regrets and have time for cheer
Treat everyone around you as you want to be treated
Accomplish everything you can before it’s all completed


Raise your hands and raise your glasses 
Enjoy your life before your just ashes
Laugh and love with family or a friend
Live life to the fullest before it’s the final end

Forget the past the future isn’t set
Make love not war as much as you can get
Don’t back down from anyone but strive towards peace and harmony
Turn the other cheek when you can and be the best you can be
Be charitable and help for fellow man
Fill yourself with knowledge whenever you can

Raise your hands and raise your glasses 
Enjoy your life before your just ashes
Laugh and love with family or a friend
Live life to the fullest before it’s the final end

Dare to be different go against the grain
Stop and smell the roses and always kiss in the rain
Listen to music read poetry for your own sake
Be true to yourself and never be fake
Take walks on the beach and swim in the ocean
Be thankful for what you have and pray to God in Heaven

Raise your hands and raise your glasses 
Enjoy your life before your just ashes
Laugh and love with family or a friend
Live life to the fullest before it’s the final end

Take pictures so you can look back on your journey
Enjoy the arts sculptures paintings drawings or a movie
Give kisses and hugs to the ones you care about
Work hard and play harder before you check out
Go through life like it was your last day
Because it could be so enjoy it and make it count in every way

Sneakers

Let’s go against the grain, break the rules, and make forever possible again

A classic chic fashion without limits, we set the bar for relationship goals and plan on continuing to go far

What is better than comfort that holds you and is not just there for support

What is better than being in love with your partner in crime

Living the American dream trying to make a dime

I already have mine and could not be happier with everything that makes her you

Dimples in your cheeks I cannot not lie is one of my favorite attributes

Like teaching our son a good bow tie will always beat a good suit

p.s. yes we could dress up with fancy pants and shoes but why not dress up and wear our sneakers instead…
