The View

The days all come and go, but when it comes to time we have no control.

There are things that eventually puts stress in me,

but I have learned that this life inevitably blesses me.

It takes more than an alarm clock to wake yourself up to realizations,

and despite aspirations, many only step with hesitation - never really putting forth the perspiration that ends up being the precipitation that causes the idea to grow into something beyond.

Despite likenesses and similarities, is there really a good reason that we can't form a bond?

I may not be fond of all that I should be,

but I take the chance and dive into the pond of what could be.

It takes more than to just look, because it won't get you far.

Things are not as we see them, in my book it says we see things as we are.

The Scorpion

Often intimidating
Exterior hard
It bears a leg for every lifetime scarred

With age comes wisdom
430 million years old
Capable of love but a claw is hard to hold

Often mistaken
An intuitive tune they sing
Never double cross in fear of the sting

Defensive creatures
Sometimes stuck in their ways
There's more to it than what the image portrays

Poison
The venom induced can rot you to your core
Treat it right though and you'll be hooked, wanting more

Dive into the depths filled with soul and compassion
Has tried the infinite mind on for size, more than just for fashion
The emotion runs deep in an abyss filled with wonder
Come for the lightning, stay for the thunder

You start to get a feel of the tremendous history
When you gaze into the eyes filled with mystery

Only through connection can everything eventually grow
You can get rooted right here, with this Scorpio

Nation of Liberation

In this noisy society,
I step through quietly.
They focus on actions made violently
While they try to lure out the worst that lies inside of me.
Don't you to wanna be free,
Instead of being forcibly guided by the narrow-minded
That shines through masking indecency?
I guess what stands between them and you is me.

I have the power to fight but I'd rather use my mind.
Still while I feel alone not much can seem to break this bind
To find a kind of peace that'll soothe and ease.
Branch out like the trees that sprout, I shouldn't have to say....Please?

Will we ever be more than we're meant to see?
Someday we'll rise up and FLEE
From this state of helplessness.
We must replenish the soul for us to regain control.
We're one,
Realization liberates us from this selfless test.
A true revelation can show us at our very best,
But we have to stand together against
Those who want us to walk in line like all the rest.

For the beauty that goes unnoticed

Our river runs deep but it trickles to a halt somewhere,
My river has expanded but it's like you don't even know it's there.
Sometimes we are inhibited simply because we care,
Please, take the chance on your life, if you dare.
Know that you won't always be prepared,
But if you never experience, you'll never know how well you fared.

Failure can happen,
But no longer do I fear it.
Happiness is across the gap,
I can help you clear it.
Love can stain,
and I just want to smear it.
Sometimes when i sing,
I wish that you could hear it.

The road I'd rather not travel

I don't know where this life is to take me.
I'm still right here
Not nearly always on the move like I used to be.
I'm still right here
I was driven by thrills and curiosity.
It feels like I'm starting to veer
Now I wake due to necessity.
Losing sight on things as if it's all become unclear
Had a very meaningful talk with family, not blood-related.
Boats often float the same
We both feel the need to branch out, and won't be compensated.
This life is a game
Attitudes need to see if they're approved by the mirror.
Find out who's to blame
Otherwise you can preach until there's no one left to hear.
*There are two kinds of fame

Among faces, among the rain

My life is a sitcom with a fluxuating genre.
My head is full, but I won't lay it out upon ya.
Somtimes with my attitude, the days feels mastered.
Other times it's not fine and feels nothing short of disaster.
It's not an exaggeration for how we feel aint the same.
Right now I'm just tryna figure out whether or not I like the rain.
Most times I do, but depending on situations feelings can change.
Anybody up for a friendly exchange?
Strangers aren't strange, merely foreign, which many people can become.
It's okay to feel down or whatever because it's better than being numb.
Where are our heads putting off what we dread,
Thinking that there's something better instead?
We see where our own feet now stand
Without directing ourselves elsewhere, it seems that the past is in high demand.
Right now though I'm gonna sit here on the bus among the silent before for school I split.
I'll try and dictate how I feel looking out the window while watching the rain hit

Haikutime

Your soul's own value
Is beyond what you can dream
We are infinite.

Don't limit to words
Do what you thought you couldn't
Every step made counts.

My purpose is grand
Not to say that yours is not
Let's stand together

Insecurities
Blind us to what is
You're beautiful how you are

Ideologies
They can hurt and deceive us
See life, for yourself.
