All Aboard

All Aboard!
We are boarding the train of thought!
I hope you're prepared for this winding, twisting, and turning adventure
Please do not be startled by the complete transparent interior
Even though it seems like it nobody will see the real you no matter how hard they try
Let's begin!
Here we are at Happy Place, if you look to your right you can see simile sea 
Off to your left you can witness metaphors meant for more than failed loved attempts 
Let's move on 
At this moment we are crossing over superhero bridge 
If you look through the floor of our lovely T.O.T.
You can see Black Panther and Captain America fighting it out 
Hulk and Thor, Superman and Batman, Spiderman and Ironman, all of these heroes having disputes
Don't think you're the only one having a hard time trying to figure out who's the hero or villian 
Maybe it's just some type competition 
Our Conductor himself lives competitions 
Always putting odds against each other what he likes to call conflicting contradictions 
Now we are entering the tunnel of dreams 
Do not fret the darkness its always like that in here 
Fasten your seatbelts because we all know dreams can come true 
But don't forget nightmares are dreams too
Let's just rush through this like we do with any task 
Who said we can't get it done right and fast 
Okay, okay we made it through 
Now through our final scenery before we get home 
We are arriving passing through fantasy island 
Best place to be 
Matter of fact the facts of the matter let's just stay here and create our realities 
Ice Cream camera to capture the sweetest memories
Now that's a Kodak moment 
Kool Aid streams so potent that the coloring is permanent 
Let's douse this whole realm in permanent and become full time residents
End the democracies, dictatorships, no more Presidents
It's evident that the evidence proves this is our world to make in any image 
The best part of these fantasies
We decide when they are finished

Limits

I'm limitless 
I can say this because the possibilities are infinite
But whoever said you can be anything you want 
Is a liar 
The truth is 
You can become anything you work for 
Strive for, dedicate your blood, sweat and time for 
The only limit is where you see the top 
I believe trees are living testimonies to the idea of limits 
They grow reaching towards the heavens 
While staying grounded knowing where their roots lay 
If trees were people they would walk confidently 
Never fearing to trip on a show lace 
When confronted with the world at my feet 
The highest point I can imagine at my head 
I think a little higher 
I smile a little brighter 
Because the possibilities are endless
I'm limitless

Soap Box

Masculinity is the soap box each man stands upon to praise themselves 
Also it is the need to break backs with every hug to remind yourself how tall you stand 
Masculinity is the crushing of bones when you shake hands with another man who may be standing as tall as you 
This is the burden we as men are plagued with from birth 
We use all of our strength to hold onto those ideas and at the same time we let go of everything that defines us

Sunset

The sunset is the penny falling in the wishing well hoping that tomorrow comes 
It is the last glimpse of light before the darkness 
The sunset is the closing of the lips from the smile of the one you love 
The sunset is last beautiful glimpse of the sun before the day is done

Lost Name

I never knew a love so deep 
That I was shackled from my hands and feet 
Tied up by her veins and arteries
I was a beast that she tamed 
That must be why they call the rib cages 
I was her heart and was given abundance of love and it was tasteless
The worst part I would do it all over again I'm shameless 
I wish I could say her name but I can't remember what her name is
