Mythabay - Hello Poetry

I fell asleep one dreary day, I lost my will, I lost my way, I ran from all I ever knew, And feared the call I was supposed to pursue. I drank from wells set on fire And filled my voids with unholy desires. I dressed the part to play the role And slowly began to lose my soul. But, when you’re down, And shadows grow, And you finally have nowhere else to go, The only way to rise again, Is from the power of an eternal friend. Many leave when you’re at your worst, When your hearts so heavy, it’s about to burst, And when many people claim so many titles, Their efforts are futile, and their time is idle, Their promises bleed through incisions, For they can’t possibly understand the mission. Battles have been the hardest at times, And memories have played with my mind, But, I keep marching like any good soldier would, Even though most of the time I am misunderstood. I keep on fighting the forces and the fears, Knowing one day, that I’ll shed a tear. I keep on giving it my best even when it’s not enough. For when the waves get too rough, I keep on believing that one magnificent day. I’ll see true glory wash away my yesterdays. I keep on believing that one marvellous day, I will see the gates of my destiny, And I’ll be able to make my testimony. But I swear I’m no phony, And while I believe in a higher power, I don’t believe it’s someone who should make me cower. The higher power is myself, So, I delve, Delve deep, and figure out who I want to be, Because the only one I have to impress is me.

The Tear

I fell asleep one dreary day, I lost my will, I lost my way, I ran from all I ever knew, And feared the call I was supposed to pursue. I drank from wells set on fire And filled my voids with unholy desires. I dressed the part to play the role And slowly began to lose my soul. But, when you’re down, And shadows grow, And you finally have nowhere else to go, The only way to rise again, Is from the power of an eternal friend. Many leave when you’re at your worst, When your hearts so heavy, it’s about to burst, And when many people claim so many titles, Their efforts are futile, and their time is idle, Their promises bleed through incisions, For they can’t possibly understand the mission. Battles have been the hardest at times, And memories have played with my mind, But, I keep marching like any good soldier would, Even though most of the time I am misunderstood. I keep on fighting the forces and the fears, Knowing one day, that I’ll shed a tear. I keep on giving it my best even when it’s not enough. For when the waves get too rough, I keep on believing that one magnificent day. I’ll see true glory wash away my yesterdays. I keep on believing that one marvellous day, I will see the gates of my destiny, And I’ll be able to make my testimony. But I swear I’m no phony, And while I believe in a higher power, I don’t believe it’s someone who should make me cower.

Only one must tell the tale For those who cannot hear Weave a story from ash and dust To escape all that they fear Only one must stay behind To create a show For those who are blind To represent all that they know Only one must think to breathe Breathe to dream Dream to live Live to survive But all must come to see The masterpiece of life Unfold before their very eyes And think and breathe and dream and live But all must come to hear The song of creation Wind its way through the sky And down into the Earth below. Beyond all that we see All that we hear All that we fear and know Is life and love and time Life is a gift Love is a virtue Time is immortal Only one is needed To change everything, we fear Everything we see, hear and know Only one

I’m the gate, I have no fate. Things are so uniform, I yearn for something out of the norm. As cars go through, I wanna say BOO. But what am I gonna do? This school is already like a zoo. Although it’s pretty cool, Just like that guy, Redfoo. Blue, Red, Green, The people like to preen. But there’s no need to be mean, Cuz most of them are keen, Being at school, That’s what’s really cool. You don’t wanna be at school, You’re being such a silly fool. I’m the gate, I have no fate, But it’s all good at this rate. There’s nothing here I could possibly hate!

I’m back in the game, I’m back better than before, Better than what we once saw. So, listen close an’ listen hard. Ain’t nobody gonna fuss, Cuz nobody got no love for us, And, there ain't no peace, there ain't no justice, And it seem like much of a muchness But right now, I really couldn't care much less. Immune to the decadence, I found some meaning Places I've been in, Slapping the demons, Cleansing the heathens, Rhyme with no reason, Son of the last season Soon as I'm on the case, Soon as I'm leaving Artisan outlaw, Long-time ****** Like George Clooney, Moody in the midnight, Can’t stand the light Steady we on some, looking to lump sum Pull up a gumption, Thanks for your function, There ain't no assumption, And, as the Holy Ghost touches my spirit I'm spiritually uplifted, That's what the spirit did. I seen the trends, the fads and the phases, The whole host of points of view, Brought to the stages. Now I'm the fogey, Kicking the bogey With nothing in between And no place for me Yes, I'll take to the trends and split the clichés. For da rest o’ ma days, As long as the job continues to pay, So listen next time I write another track. Cuz, I promise you that I’ll be back.
