Mind is racing
Slow down and strategize
Take time
Have a break
Think clearly
Focus on this mission
On this goal
Got to be hungry
Nothing but determination
Resilience
Not lying down
Not beaten
Chained and wrapped in more chains
More so
Chained to the point in which it holds me
Holds me back
Keeps me in my box
My fate
This fate
That fate
Is my fate
Blame
Throw it all around
But never point this finger back towards yourself
It is never your fault
Nothing is the problem
What are you talking about?
I don't see much trouble
Do you?
Only the solution
Works
I won't be intimidated with plays
And ploys to keep me from the seat
They may unite and come up with ways
To get that vote and see to my defeat
Because I'm a threat to their plans
They talk behind my back
My followers put down everyday
But still my numbers grow to back,
me up on my running supporting my way
Saying my name as the fifth
With my name in my enemies mouths
It got me wondering how that's building me
For their exist some mouths
Mouths looking upto me
To rise up and be better than them
Big and bold are my steps
To try and get a foothold on their strengths
Cause times going I've got to stick to preps,
As I strategize to build them as strengths
For I'm an all inclusive leader
And on the day that I'll ascend that seat
They gonna feel my presence
They'll be lucky if they can handle my heat
Cause I'll be more than itch in essence
I'll be stain on the seat that they can't remove

"A stupid Battle"
So much I always had in mind
Another toke and drink of Spanish Wine
Back in flight among satellites
In multiple ways an increase in appetite
Continuing to strategize
I'm not here to 'catch a vibe'
They always try to analyze
There's nothing I have to hide
Even though it's technically confidential and classified
It is soon to catalyze
Once it's ramified
Hung up to dry like cattle hide
Cast aside
Dissatisfied
Far from pacified
It's been a sad decline
Not all shall abide
It's typically an argument and debate, rarely is it ratified
Quick to stab you in the back with knives
All these narcissists tantalize
Worldwide, way beyond Anaheim
Remember, often problems can arise
Another fool acting asinine
Trying to cut, get back in line
I don't mean to be alkaline
Just looking for my Valentine
There's no need to agonize
A stupid battle of not being able to set a glass aside
Got it all wrong, never had it right
Only concern was to love a girl like Vanna White
I made sure
I've done alot
Made mistakes
Took on more
Than I should take
Cleaned my plate
Washed it off
Rinsed it
Put it away
Took it back down
This go round
Started to smile
Instead of frown
I made sure
That
I didn't back track
I made sure to
Forgive too
Everyday it's changing
Tired of the same sayings
Ive been misunderstood
People outweighed my bad
Saw the good
They saw it
Through their own eyes
No longer had to be a disguise
I could feel
Time would heal
Heal the wounds the hurt
Put a bandage on it
Make it work
How could I loose
If I choose
To Grow
Be like Elsa and let it go
But don't run
From your problems
Strategize them
Go and solve them
And you will see there is a cure
When you make sure
I made sure
That
I didn't back track
I made sure to
Forgive too
As you see in this verse
Nothing wrong with putting yourself first
Know your value
Know your worth
Make sure you always come first
I made sure
That
I didn't back track
I made sure to
Forgive too

This abstract puzzle is so complicated;
Fitting logic and feelings together,
smooth sailing is vastly overrated;
An instance your pulse is elevated
terrifying high dive into pleasure,
this abstract puzzle is so complicated;
Strategize to avoid the unexpected
with a vibration longing for adventure,
smooth sailing is vastly overrated;
Your heart and mind have you frustrated
always seeking to be reassured,
this abstract puzzle is so complicated;
Trying to survive this world we created
our potential revealed when under pressure,
smooth sailing is vastly overrated;
Tapestry of emotions to be celebrated
each one an experience to treasure;
This abstract puzzle is so complicated,
smooth sailing is vastly overrated.
Where do remotes go, is what I,
in aggravation ask?
Mine must have feet and to find
them is a most frustrating task.
Hiding under a magazine or my cat
lying on it, hatching one like an egg?
I have tried many methods, but I swear,
mine all have their own tiny legs.
Do they get together at night and have
meetings to strategize?
I think they really do, those teeny monsters,
is what I do conceptualize!

As I fret, opening to soon is filled with fraught,
causing more worries, as I thought.
As people scurry hither and dither;
Seeking to score and scurry back home...
Still ,no alcohol, spray, or wipes!
Yet, go spend money and risk your life.
Facing more issues than toilet tissue.
Am I to be tested even though I am clean?
Or is this a trick to strategize vaccines?
Now this man, or leader was once a germophobic;
Suddenly he's not afraid to go unmasked.
What’s really happening...is the question asked.?
Where do you find,
Peace of mind
Is it a physical place you go,
Hidden from everyone you know
Or a place you visit in your head,
Maybe a quiet space instead
To collect your thoughts,
Or strategize the battles to be fought
Is it to calm your nerves,
Or remind yourself what you deserve
Do you need a walk in fresh air,
To ease the frustrations that are there
Are you motivated to take a step back,
And consider where you are at
Asking if you expect too big much,
Then realizing you were out of touch
How then do you re center,
In a satisfying manner
An affirmation that all will come to be,
A path now cleared that you can see
Disappointments discarded away,
New opportunities come into play
Confidence then,
To believe again
When we were young, we'd freely roam
While supervision stayed at home.
We played the seasons' major sports
On vacant lots and playground courts.
No tryouts or permission slips.
No uniforms or coaching tips.
No judges, umpires, referees,
Or grownups whom we had to please.
Whoever came could join right in.
We'd choose the teams and then begin.
No clock was used to time the game.
We played until the darkness came.
We mended balls and broken bats
And yapped and scrapped like dogs and cats.
In worn-out shoes, we'd all day run
And tanned by sun with friends have fun.
Together we would strategize
And future glory fantasize.
With candy bars as fuel we'd play
And straggle home at end of day.
We taught ourselves what's right and wrong
And how to play and get along.
We sought no trophies nor acclaim,
But played because we loved the game.
The regimented kids today
Obey whatever coaches say.
They sadly do not know how free
A game among themselves can be.
Her words are minced, like sweetened meat in pies.
She must believe that all of us are thick.
Be warned; she’ll try to fill you up on lies.
A pretty crust she makes to get a rise
from you! Her forked tongue gives that crust a prick.
Her words are minced, like sweetened meat in pies.
Half-truths she loves to softly vocalize.
Remember, though, that it is all a trick.
Be warned; she’ll try to fill you up on lies.
She’ll coo and soothe with words to tantalize.
She’ll have you hooked if you take just one lick!
Her words are minced, like sweetened meat in pies.
She also sighs and flirts with winsome eyes,
More ploys used by this very clever chick.
Be warned; she’ll try to fill you up on lies.
She feeds great lines! It’s all to strategize,
and if you eat it up, you can get sick!
Her words are minced, like sweetened meat in pies.
Be warned; she’ll try to fill you up on lies.

He's been swingin' clubs since trouble began.
The Great Leader proclaims he hath no plan!
Hey man! There is a crisis,
With some bandits called Isis!
Cease yer 'putt'erin' and 'strategize', man!

self,
exist with the reality that things
can be
changed.
self,
gain courage, develop strength &
wisdom will come in the process of
knowing that one can never truly
know enough---
one must always be learning.
self,
know that “surrender” eliminates
focus, know that this world is
how we make it,
here,
now,
alone & together,
without any metaphysical recourse.
self,
if there is to be a concept like “trust,”
know that you must invest it in yourself
first---know that each day is a step in
your direction,
be it an error to learn from or a successful
move to hail & use to strategize the next.
self,
know that there is no need to
“accept the things that cannot be changed,”
if you truly don’t want to &
you act on this premise.

Two minutes. Waiting.
My heart is ready to burst.
The lanes are naked, clean,
ready to be torn up by cleats
and sweat.
Hundreds of eyes blinking and
staring.
Chatter swarmed into a calm
storm underneath this dome.
Waiting is the hardest part.
The anticipation, building.
Struggling to breathe as I
strategize.
Faster here.
Ease up here.
Go for the kill.
Take him.
A vision.
It’s almost time. Everything
is clenched. Find my control.
Don’t go out too fast, find your
stride. Tail the leader.
Wait for the moment.
Step up onto the lanes.
Red and white.
My teammates looking on.
The stakes digging into my
Stomach.
Step up to your blocks.
My heart beats faster.
I want to throw up.
This is it.
On your mark.
My ankles shiver.
Adrenaline at full throttle.
I can’t lose. I can’t lose. Go.
