Tenfold
3/20/22
Use to have on a blindfold
Always chasing fool's gold
Problems came tenfold
Lost sight of goals
Continually losing control
Fell into a black hole
Despite the toll
Never sold my soul
Still got a heart of gold
A lot of lies being told
Yet again B.S. unfolds
Until I'm old
There'll always be trolls
As well as gulls
And people that scold
In a world that can be beautiful or cold
Constantly I mull
In every direction, it all pulls
Can be difficult to cull
Endless thoughts inside my skull
Had to be bold
Put it all on hold
Took a stroll
Ended up at the North Pole
Oh no not him again
When will it end?
A bunch of backstabbers, nitpickers and crud talkers, ya'll suck
Can't sweat the small stuff
Messed it all up
Blew it away in the wind
What happen to the discipline?
Went back to it and did it again
You'd think I committed sin
Don't compare me to every citizen
At your own risk, try and call me a simpleton
On a planet tainted with carcinogens
From here to beyond Michigan
Often they say "it depends"
But it's not the same, much was different then
Since a kid always been a friend
She's headed toward Wimbledon
Owns a dog a named Cinnamon
And takes care of her dad on Insulin
What a peculiar path I'm on
They tell me to find god
Not temporary it's lifelong
Can quit or fight on
Big difference between right and wrong
Many of times I defied the odds
I helped animals such as frightened dogs
And white swans
According to
Who
Me or you?
Am I doing right in life
Or losing the fight and sight
Of what's important
Meanwhile true potential lays dormant
Another step backwards or closer toward it
In space I drifted
Often felt conflicted
Struggling due to being addicted
