Which Ones Are Chosen

Which ones are chosen,

How, let me count the ways,

I'm feeling some type of way with these streets that I cannot pave,

I'm a loner in world of glory days,

Socially awkward and my communications on the same page,

What type of individual would you like me to be, 

When it all comes down to it, 

The answers no,

I can just be me,
I can just be free,
I can just be able to speak my mind like,

Which ones are chosen,

I need your attention and i hope you hear me,

I can only tell you what's in these words and days of no further worries,

When I expire and transcend to the next level,

Make me who I'll be in the next life,

Please add good genes and morals,

So I can be,

which ones are chosen!

Choir director

My instincts coincide 
with what I believe my attributes to be

People, 
no more directly 
you indirectly 

Influence 
what I mean to me

How I tend to move

What I tend to see

Not all the time 
does our light shine together 

But our average of sunny
Shines through 
And weeds out
What I know 
stagnation to be

Premeditation at the beginning 
We always dreamt

What our lives could be

What together our lives could mean

Marching by our own sound
But when in silence 
Meditation is key

Marching band on our side
I know the director

The director….

that’s me
