Running endlessly through a buffet of what life has to offer
Yelling, screaming, kicking, pleading because they didn't get what they wanted
Anytime's fine, unless the time's right now
Never can get what you want boy, you know that's not allowed.

Making crafts out of what no one would take a chance on
Anything'll do right now under the right circumstance son
Teetering towards a heavily weighted decision.
This is what causes the opposing forces into collision.
He knew what many felt should happen, but he also knew what was in his heart.
Entering this mode of thinking he felt, "then why hadn't they all thought this way right from the start?"
"Winning" could bring about closure, but it could also bring proper exposure.

Jumping for joy because people were on the same page.
Every single person, an actor on life's stage.
Nevermind what had made them different before,
Kings and queens they now all are, with only the whole world to expore (and beyond)
Insight made everything feel right and all the people now did bond.
Nights and days, rang out cheers and praise to you and the stars above
Seeing to be true what was always saught, the utopia of love.

Revisiting the past and sorting through countless
Years of memories, times when there were no stress.
All along the playbacks were building blocks, an unfailing test
Not saying many of them were not stress related, that could be debated, but all of the above left me blessed.

Many times I've searched for more.
Anything other than what is.
Time, has showed me the real score.
That there is nothing better than this.
Heaven can be above, but it's always what we can make for ourselves.
Eternally grateful for everything I was ever able to put onto my shelves.
We are to know no positive limits, unless we want to find out what inhibits.

Jury duty is what most play when they're not in court.
Experts too can be very wrong, from presidents to a sport.
Now to judge another is easy, but how is it we see we?
Kindness truly is a virtue that goes too often unnoticed.
Instincts push for competition often putting others below us.
Never look past the actions of others, and please don't be so quick to brand
Seeing things,not as they are, but how we are, is the real issue at hand.

Difference of opinions
Brings out our minions.
A whole new confliction
That is based on restriction.
So what's the method of attack?
*Pardon me, at the ignorance I took a crack instead of giving a hand.

It seems at opposite poles is where we stand.
The North and South yet do attract;
The distance looks more beautiful and for most that's a common fact.
We know what we lack,
But still to start a war there really is no turning back.

*>I'll just make sure the music's tight, so to currently cement that the vibe is right<

To attain you must train.
Use your brain but don't drain yourself.
It'll be a pain and you may even become less than sane..
Just make it an even plane.
Don't like the situation? Hop on a train/plane, go to Maine, Spain, or somewhere else new.
Listen to Coltrane, Jefferson Airplane or whatever you choose.
There's a stain but it can be spotless.
It will remain though, without feeling "I got this".
Don't live with whatever disdain you grew for reality..
Try and not complain, but even if it's tame don't stroke the mane of a lion, face the factuality.
While waiting for the sunshine, bust out the cane..have fun and dance in the rain
:)

David? Whatthefuck, back in the day we used to kick it,
today I wake to the news that you paid the ultimate ticket.
The world is wicked, and killing is shameful.
To know there'll never be just justice is painful.
Thinking back to some of the memories we had,
I laugh with the moments cuz they really made me glad to know you.
Still I've always known you to be a good person,
I know how occasions can lead to bad situations.
We all have a temper,
now it'sbest to remember that we should just cool down.
Otherwise there'll be other times where we find others are gone now.
I'm taking this time to reflect, because you getting shot is something i'd never expect.
You texted me months ago, and I saw you last week.
The questions of life is now something we're all to seek.
David, hopefully at least some will learn based on what was done,
and learn that f*cking with guns really aint that fun.
Much love to the heaven above for you or whatever place there may be.
You're gone but not gone, for in our hearts will always be Dahveeeeed!
Rest peacefully :/

Love is the river that we're all emerged in.
We must embrace it for what it's worth if we ever hope to win.*

Going against the tide causes a lot of frustration
While standing still only furthers contemplation.
Whatever your muse, only you choose to do what you do,
and as your eyes gaze upon that big beautiful blue
you must ask yourself what's best for you.
For in this time when we are carried by the grandest emotion,
you see that the river expands, into an ever-growing ocean.

I see things everyday to potentially get me ******,
I want to change it but what hurts the most is rarely do I really feel missed.
Bliss gets whisked away, and though I try to get by my mind goes into disarray.
I want to go out and play,
have some fun outside of this hole,
but not much is ever really under my control.
I binge and cringe at how my past actions could've left me.
Girls and friends came and went,
and there were times I felt like a deadbeat.
From what I wasn't told, 22 really is old.
But I feel so much older.
Words are actions too, and they can crush you like a boulder.
I'm almost always cold and want something to warm my soul before this world chips too much at my head for it to take it's toll.
I always want to know,
but I get ever more aware how much the truth really hurts.
I guess it's best to take it when it comes in little spurts so you can at least prepare yourself for the road up ahead.
Maybe it's miniscule, to you, things that were said.
For me it was more than trivial, and boom, another scar to my head.
I don't wanna give you the wrong idea but so much of our everyday is left unclear
and what's worse than feeling of fear is the probability of the actions behind it.
In life I have learned the hard way, but despite whatever happens,
there'll be a day I won't mind it.
