Long Underestimating Poems

I'm not addicted, so this will be easy
It's a hard truth to hear so I just tune it out 
and I’m arguing with walls 
but I end up letting them fall on me 
“But it...

Is this life but a dream? 
I once wondered to myself, in this life
Will we really find true happiness,
A place to which we can escape,
A place where there are no worries of the future,
Where we,...

your belief system is the major indication
of what you can accomplish with positive validation
if you can see it, you can achieve
if you can perceive it, you can believe it

non-achievers are always...

years of writing and learning
working
guts spilled
heart ripped out
torn to holes
stabbing myself open
and spreading myself thin

but one comes along
and i am forever lost in...

Looking at the mirror 
with good day’s pleasure
I see slothfulness’ glamor 
taunting with delight’s leisure
Yet ready to attack sense of honor
defying time-worth’s treasure
So defiant; not a generous donor 
offering gift that costs much pressure!

I challenge...

Late night overthinking
Heart racing, made up situation anticipating
Feelings chasing, dread encasing
I return, rewind to the start, replaying the awful part.
When they said that, what did they actually mean?
Conversation misconstrued, I probably came across really rude!
Going...

I'm feeling good, so I think I'll kick some multi syllable rhymes,
It's a known factor that I flow in undefinable time,
Because I'm killing it, I'm at an undeniable height,
and if you don't like it then...

I wonder if a difference
between a mature
health care bodhisattva
and a less experienced
potential peace messiah

Could be uncovered by noticing
a wisely curious genius
gathering all sacred passionate values

While sadly believing 
s/he can access only the wrong
insufficient
benighted 
disappointing
unwoke audience

And/or...

If I do not trust my wisdom
then I have earned nothing,learned nothing,loved nothing, become nothing,
I would be a random phantom,a struggle absent triumph to fathom,
just a creature chasing feelings, ignorant of meaning,
would be like disbelieving...

I go hard in the paint like "Olajuwon"
Taking the last shot like "Lebron"
I see how they think I got a Magic "Wand"
Cause how Magically I'm running with the "Baton"
Running a "Marathon"
No Quran but I'm like...

Where is our new beginning?
Where is the end to my difficult ending?
I can't believe this is happening
Being with someone that understands
Becoming part of an underestimating land
Your calm waves change my heart
Being with you and never...

In the depths of my struggles, I once believed that my scars were badges of shame, never to be relieved.
But my God, Yahweh, sees beyond this façade, He knows my worth,...

You doubted,
You're doubting,
My words to you,
aren't sincere anymore,
If I had my conscience shown to you,
If I had my heart worn out for you,
If I had my brain on for you,
You would still doubt the bits...

We are taking no shorts on this time around.
Respect will be given when we roll into town.
Empathy is what they say got us the first Super Bowl.

Thickened and scarred, my mask bears the burden of time,
Torn, stained, this tough shell silently unravels,
And yet, somehow, it continues to keep me alive, to protect me from the world,
It was never a shining armor,...

At any moment spring might arrive
Be prepared with a light jacket in hand
Can you feel the cold wind running away?
Dance with me as the meadows turn green
Enjoy the sounds of streams as they thaw
Feel the...

The ship on the horizon,
Sails broad and full,
Sunshine sparkles the ocean.
Where is my love,
My life,
Tonight?
On the distant shores,
Green grass grows,
Don’t look at it now,
Underestimating life.
A brick falls to earth,
A wall comes tumbling down,
Harmonica plays.
Hesitate not,
But...

They bound our capabilities
By always underestimating our abilities
They have already planned our life before birth
Tossing us away as if we don't have any worth
They treat us the way they please
In there eye, will our dignity...
