OPEN MIC MONDAY – BEFORE I DIE | #OPENMIC

Before I die,
I want to know I tried,
Tried to live,
Read off my goals like a bucket list,
Not trying to miss one,
For not missing one is on the list,
Before I die,
I want to know I believed,
Believing in me and my will to overcome,
Never doubting my route,
Knowing there will be cuts and bruises,
Handy with my med kit,
I will patch up myself on the go,
Rarely falling on my face,
Working to perfect my landing,
Before I die,
I want to cry in joy,
Oh boy,
Happiness is no toy,
So don’t mess with it,
I want to change a space for the better,
Slowly if not quickly,
But damn sure don’t ever say never,
To complete me,
I would have tried, failed and won,
That’s a cycle to repeat on everything,
Until my clock no longer continues to tic,
My legacy will stand,
Longer than I did.

CAUGHT IN A DREAM: BLINDFOLD

Not easily impressed I guess,

Always curious on my what if’s,

Like, what if I die tomorrow?

What if my dreams came through tonight?

Would I be ready?

Would I be humble?

Who would get praises?

Or would I keep all of it to myself,

There is a thing about not knowing,

I can decide now or regret later,

Or I can rejoice later if I fight now,

If the world taught me anything,

You can’t predict the future,

But you can come close by guessing,

As long as you are in control,

You won’t be led off course,

So I walk into my life’s obstacles with a blindfold on and a sword,

Ready to slay even behead anyone who I think wants to oppose,

For I can fight with no eyes to see,

Because within me my vision is clear as can be,

It’s not a part-time job, or do I work because of high incentive commissions,

What I want and work for is my everything,

So there won’t be any black clouds that could block my view,

Just a forward moving mentality with a bright ray of sunshine,

Shining right through…
