Free your mind, grasp your soul
Don’t forget your jacket little buddy its cold
Are you talking about the world?
No, though weather changes rapidly
The skies have dimmed
Cover up or you’ll have a running nose

A stiff breeze will cover a town in a fog
The story sits like the war creeping in as you sit lumped on a log
We must not proceed to war
Though death is eminently approaching insight
Remember everyone isn’t your friend some thieves lurk in search for the night
A crept smile sends thrills down the spine
In light, they are pawns by day friendly in plain sight
The ones who effortlessly feed on the weak

Lose hope in life

So don’t play “cupid”
Though they leave the torsos without a heart kindly so the kindling doesn’t kindle the sparks
Love is blinding in combat so protect your neck
Just don’t forget the heart

The remnants of war have brought death to all opposed
So there is no clear victory to this fight

“well time waits for no man
and death waits with cold hands
im the youngest old man that you know
if ya soul is intact let me know
-Earl

What does it mean to love
A desirable treasure locked away forever in search of the spot that marks X
Digging up the past, reaching for the future 
With a firm hand the shovel hits something stiff 
[“The mind starts a day dream”]
If you dont live forever, Why do we buy gifts
If you speak more than you show, Why isn’t you that is at the top of my list
How do you prove rather than fault
There are times we push forward but when do we know when to stop
If the bird never jumps , will it die nurtured in the nest
But for those that jump will the flight be smooth as the rest 
Why do we pursue things we dont want
 Rather than hold on to the things we need
If the wound was cut deep how long will we reach before the soul bleeds 
Crying out 

Help Me 
If we say one lie dont you think the rest will come clean
If life was meant to be free why dont 

we push for the finer necessities 
Rather than what people think of us
To Be in control of your own destiny 
Who knows who controls our fate 
Mind games are just a twisted state 
Either you believe or be deceived –
If life was meant to be happy 
Why cant we smile with the littlest of things
Rather live lavish in a world so futile 
More of anything causes more problems
So why not express more 
With paying less
But if life was meant to explore 
Why dont we stop paying for the same flings
When there is more out there to see in life which is a beautiful thing 
More out there than the X on most young hands
What does it really mean to live life
If you choose to settle, how do you really embark
Any fool can know, the point is to understand 
How do you posses potential but never push exponentially 
Life, a hard concept to grasp but if you can’t explain it you don’t understand it well enough
[“Hey what did you find?”
“Just some old rusted beer cans from the young kids again”]
Just Dig Deeper 

In the darkest days he still shines

He’s not selfish but has no shame to claim “what’s mine ”

So who are you?

I grew up in the city kicking rocks and picking up dimes

Hot summer days call for ice cream 

How can you tell me I stole this money ?

I found these 

Who are you to judge by the color of my skin

A raisin was once a grape 

Don’t you think the sun does the same thing?

If a wolf cries is it alone ? 

If you live a life together, why do you die alone?

We are entitled to our own opinion but where does history lay the facts ?

Why is there still discrimination between whites and blacks?

It’s 2016 I thought we as a nation was better than that?

If my hands are up, will you shoot back?

Back to the basics

Off to the races 

One bullet takes us back to the race issue 

I don’t want to die too young 
More of America’s understatement

It’s more like trying to find the right home 

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but sticks to the norm

Seek guidance but take wrong path

Suffer the consequences but blame the crowd 

Violence has no color but most people see it as black

What happen to the childhood dreams 

The playground where most kids made the most friends 

Now it’s over who has the most likes 

Or did y’all see that fight?

Man, if education was the root to success

How could you not push for the opportunity at hand 

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush

Push for something new , make a way   

Don’t give the world a bullet to shoot you away 

Create a product of intellectuality, instead of being a product of your environment.

From a tree the leaf falls

A hand out to catch what is left

On one side you see the color

On the other you see the journey it had from afar

The veins which sprout life at one point in time

A long season of cold winter, harsh weather but still held on

The leaf is small but delicate

The tree still root strong

A little eager to see what’s in Stored

The seeds which grow into a better tree

You ask yourself are we still good?

Reproduction works well with proper sunlight and water

However as the leaf falls it is quickly falling for the next seed

Forever ingrown learning is immaculate

To be bigger than the last but learned from the previous

Sometimes if you can’t let go just fall and learn from far away

You’ll always smile and continue to grow

How hard is it to be happy

To fight what’s inside

To overcome anger and let go of pride

Time has changed but only few get every minute of it

To be immortal has its perks

To be loved by all

The live joyously without fear

To be strong in the eyes of anyone near

Or to be called a coward

To be tortured of frivolous decisions

A social pariah in the eyes of all

What is like to be accepted ?

Rather than have a title and its expected ?

Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder

The one who tells you become closer with your inner self

Insecurity as you cloth yourself

Who am I as the mirror glistens a vague shadow

The fright is here as you lay there thinking

What am I doing here ?

Photos flash as you see time wasted ?

Quickly sitting up you realize its not you who you are Portraying

Dream until your dreams come true

Eventually you’ll wake up

Or sleep until your realize your dream was never thought of

Being accustomed to reality plays with the mind
What is it that you seek?
A dream is a mirror image unless thought prevails motion
Is it love?
Just a tweak
Who do you admire?
Could you tell your self everyday I love me?
Smile through the the bad because it’s happiness  you seek
What are your goals?
What do you pursue?
They key to success is to be humble and thank those who have helped you
Take a leap of faith to soar a life of fulfillment
Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder
The one who tells you closer
Insecurity as you cloth her
The fright is here as you lay there thinking
The hardest part of life is letting your pride Take over yourself esteem
Love yourself and believe in me

With so so much thought, there is a lot of detail
From a tiny spirit there is a story to tell
Let your soul breath baby
If I told you there was a universe inside of you would you believe me
with a high chin
As the view tightens your stomach you see the butterfly take off within
The eyes is how she tames the heart of the lion
No need to show off his prowess
But he roars to show his dominance
As the grass dampens she scuttles
Becoming the prey he seeks
He Stalks the night but she disappears into the day with quick feet
Making the thought of tasting her flesh a beautiful gaze
For days and days he is lost and dazed b the smell of her aroma
He passes out in the Sahara from heat and coma
As a cub his father tells him careful if you chase after a woman

As we question our existence we tend to run out of patience

Our uncertainty thrives our motivation to seek the unknown

Without proper success we sometimes come up short

To believe in your self

Sometimes makes you scared of your soul

why do we do so many things we don’t like and like so many things we don’t do?

Why agree with many things we don’t mean and say many things that we wished we  believed

Trace the steps that we take

Progress, time is inevitable

To beat the system you have to understand it first

We all die. The goal isn’t to live forever, the goals is to create something that will.

-Chuck Palahniuk

Never the less stay positive

Although the world is tempted so that you are held captive

What Hopes Leads Integrity

As I write I hope to inspire

With the pen i Bleed encouragement

No one knows the future nor the present

With much anticipation, How can one succeed?

You can only succeed through failure

So why not give it your all?

Its okay to fall

Don’t worry just do

Reclaim whats lost and give whats left

Respect their wishes and do anything to satisfy those needs

To operate off tough love, feeds off despair

To obtain lust is to have heartbreak

No one is perfect

Be humble

Let me be your faux pas to your image of me

What is so blind, with love can clearly be seen

Close your eyes, breath with the mind

A field of petals as we run through the meadow

A sunset so bright, with passion that creeps into the night

Let the fireflies guide the curiosity as the chase for the vibe leads to the shrine

Let all fears go as the sailing souls glow into the night life

With all the laughter, be sure to let it all go

Whats life without struggle?

Whats love without pain?

As the world spins

We seek connection with the one who holds your hand

Seek love, Find Friendship

Next best thing

Achieve greatness, to acquire fame

A Shallow patch of grass where two young lovers lay

With dew on the ground leaves a gentle mist array

A soothing kiss is just a finger away

Along with the dandelions we blow

Taking a breath a day

I could be everything you need

Life so vivid into the day

Only at night do you get to dream

How can you paint a picture with your mind

If you don’t let your heart breath

The Love, The Lust

Gasping for air as it blows away like dust

What is it you search for ?

Maybe for someone to trust?

We all have insecurities

But who is there to tell you?

Open up and free your mind

This is not a day process

To be patient requires time

Here let me guide you

Life is almost a circular motion

Let your grow and take a friend with you

Be humble Be nimble

Make Life Simple
