BARRIERS | #SPOKENWORD

BARRIERS

Sent to block my path,
Set in place to control my wrath,
Of good deeds I fed to the world,
Low key people kick my name in the dirt,
Even though dusty,
I brush them off,
Trust me,
I am ready for war,
No limits I can’t overcome,
I got my faith,
I walk outside,
Head’s up,
Shoulders back,
Ready for the stage,
Why would I let them out shine me?
Or treat me like some side chick,
Falsely trying to wine and dine me,
I will be just fine,
Pacing myself,
Standing out,
So you can see me coming,
Or not,
Just know your shade,
Will not be casted on me no longer,
I am here,
I am prepared,
I am stronger,
Time to break the walls down.

There have been countless times someone didn’t not want me to get involved.  They set up barriers and name calling, try to have me fall down to them.  But are we mice of men, excuse me, are we mice or men/women?  We have to make a choice on the path we want to go on.  We have been distracted, I have, and I can own that.  But once you know that as a fact, are you still willing to watch this cycle repeat?

For me, at the tender age of 12 or so, I scoped so many impossible routes to my life.  There and then, I spent hours and days sleeping, meditating, researching on all my key attributes to never have someone set a barrier in front of me that I can’t break.  I mean seriously.  This is my mind frame at that age.  Of course I was still like a child.  But my mind was open.  I was ambitious, I was attentive, I was grounded and disciplined.  I knew there wasn’t going to be a sprint for my wins in life.  I knew it’s all about stamina and outlasting those who ran up front, thinking spend was all you needed.  I didn’t want to be the fastest, I wanted to be the guy that lasted.  So one by one, each barrier that was in my way, I took them down.  I was prepared, I was re-engineered to last and master my skills and traits.

And with that, that’s how I teach others to respect themselves, pace and time out their plan, for if it’s worth it in the end and worth keeping, it deserves patience and training.

VANISH | #SPOKENWORD

VANISH

I was here,
Then gone,
Vanished,
Reappeared,
Now faded,
Smoke,
We were together,
Now apart,
Living in a dream world,
Not so far,
Close to home,
Is where I lay,
Eyes open still,
Veins,
As I left today,
Was there,
Where will I be tomorrow?

There are days I feel like I am not close to my true self.  I feel I am lost.  It’s almost as if, my surroundings took pieces of me and hid them.  So I try to uncover them in places I have never been.  Like friends, after high school/college, some disappear.  Then there are those you grow really close to, but you are apart.  It’s never too complete as a day-to-day thing.  It’s always like a big reach to get that old feeling bad.

I believe in recreating or bettering yourself.  Sometimes you have to leave a familiar situation for something unique, different, odd, just to be able to collect yourself on who you truly are.  It’s like proving to yourself, whether or not you belong here.  Do I deserve my successes?  Did I do something to deserve this pain?  Who is truly responsible?  There are so many questions to ask, but who and where you get the answers, is not always clear.  The sources of our power to unlock doors, comes from wanting the truth and trying hard on finding them.

I am a firm believer of not giving up and finding a path that’s yours.  It may take a long time, but if you have patience and timing, a long time to others is just right on time for you.  Don’t let them draw you into the sketch, be yourself standing they have to work around you already being there, being yourself.

ARENA | #SPOKENWORD

ARENA

Seats filled,
The crowd is glued,
To see me do,
What it is I do,
I make a shot,
The whole place roars,
It’s like I own the building,
About to create my own tour,
Hopefully my jersey will go up,
As one of the greats,
Open your hearts and cheer,
For me,

SATISFIED | #MOOD

SATISFIED

Never was known for being needy,
With that slice of pie neither was I greedy,
I really try my best to be different,
And in the end in my mind I know I am winning,
Filled with smarts,
I should use that more,
I need to open up more closed doors,
Every time I solve a problem,
I feel like a king,
I just want to provide the world with more wins,
I am content,
With less,
No stress,
Pause any abnormal habits,
Crack it,
If it’s a password,
Hack it,
If I can’t get in your world,
No more left-overs,
I am filled to the brim,
I just like how things are going.

INDIFFERENT | #MOOD

INDIFFERENT

So what,
No care in the world,
You say you broke,
I am broke too,
Can you borrow some money,
I need to borrow money too,
I could care less,
I am not impressed,
Don’t bother me at all,
I walked out,
Drop the mic and the ball,
Ain’t worried about it.

UNCOMFORTABLE | #MOOD

UNCOMFORTABLE

Kicking off the sheets,
I can’t sleep,
I am too hot,
I am too cold,
I am in heat,
I am going crazy,
I can’t stay still,
I know the answer to my problem,
Oh yea,
Take a pill,
Goodnight,
See you in the morning.
