Handyman
Markees Jul 2017
I called in the handyman
There was a bad storm there's a lot of fixing to do
My ribs are broken
There's a hole in my stomach
I twisted my ankle
My bicep turned blue
I can't see outta my left eye
My whole body wants to die
So I called the handyman
I said handyman I got a lot of fixing to do
I need you, a full repair
Exclude my heart from the bill it's just fine
Stronger then ever
Markees Jul 2017
We need it now more then ever
Plagued we are
I look out my window and see the fear walking my people like dogs
Smiling
So fat from the constant food we supply them
our spirits so frail and week from lack of
They party all night
There's pit fights to the death staring our courage
Our pride is ****** around
Our love is given the life sentence
Our hope is beaten down if it shows any sign of Positivity
Our faith is tortured
Lincoln you have failed
Slavery is not dead
Why couldn't you address this too
Im scared to dance how I want whenever I want
I'm scared to speak my mind
Scared to share my dreams god forbid I even try to live them out
I'm afraid people won't like it
Scared you won't love me any more
Our relationship will end
Our laughs won't be the same
The unknown is always bad to me
No that's not how it's supposed to be
Revolt in your mind
Riot in your heart
Rampage in your soul
We shall show fear who has put it in its position of power
With the endless power we have

A child's song
Markees Jul 2017
A day ago in your time
I looked down on the beautiful chaos
For a childs song has reached my ears
What a beautiful song it was

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the lord my soul to keep
If I should die before I wake
I pray the lord my soul to take

That was not what caught my attention
The child did not feel like that simple prayer was enough so he began his song

Please forgive me for all my sins
I lied to my mom
I stole from the grocery store
I did so much more
Do you really forgive
I hope so
Cause I want everyone to go to heaven
I haven't seen anyone that hasn't sined
Hell doesn't sound like a great place
Can you help me and my family
Guide us to heaven
Help my friends
Help all of us
Stop the fighting I hate it
I just want everyone to be happy
Thank you for listening
Amen

And so I placed the signs
gave the chances
Showed the way
A little extra for the child
That's all I can do
So I wrote this letter to you child just for when the times get hard
to say Im here and I love you

Is it tomorrow yet
Markees Jun 2017
Where the fighting is over
Where we're safe
And the sun is shining again
Where we have another chance at life
The place something new can happen
The birth of something great, in tomorrow
So is it tomorrow
I've been waiting
I been praying
Hoping for tomorrow
Where there's freedom
Where's there's hope
Positives
Redemptions
Lessons learned, new ppl, new love
Remembrance of this day
But relief that it's tomorrow
So is it
Is it tomorrow
Don't lie and say it is
Tell me the truth I can take it
If it's not I'll fight to it and wait
For that tomorrow
It'll come

No title
Markees Aug 2017
Words can't come out easily
No matter how much you long for these words to leave and for freedom replace it's absence
What would these words do once they come into existence would they show me the answers
Give me a new friend
Create a new love
Brake a heart
Ruin everything I worked for
What would they do
When We're both free
That is the thing that scares me

Dear tomorrow
Markees Jul 2017
What's in store for me on Wednesday
Today isn't giving me anything he never does
Your the only one I can count on for a better time
You never wanna say though how the day will flow
I never know
Maybe that's why I like you so much
Mysteries always interest me
Especially ones as elusive as you
I think I know but you just make these plot twist that change the world
I can't keep up your always ahead
can you promise me something
Don't let yesterday catch up to you

Small, even combined

The grand scheme is bigger
The universe is greater
In this we are small
But we are important just like the universe

GOD
I'm not at the poetic level to explain this poetically
I believe I was you in a past life
To which means you were also me
Which shows what this world could be
If we just thought a certain way
Who am I to tell you how to think
Who would I be if I didn't suggest these things to you
Cause I care I really do
How could I not care about myself
Since I was you
Is this to much
Is this going in one ear and out the other
Is this just going completely over your head
Am I coming on to strong
Is everything I'm saying completely wrong
Do you like this
Do you hate me for the things I'm saying
Do you envy me for my courage to speak my mind
Are you mad at me because in your heart you think I'm right
Do you love me?
I love myself
I guess that means I love you
So I should rephrase the question then
Do you love yourself?
Just know you did
In a past life

The missing piece
Markees Jul 2017
The ocean goes here
So the land must be there
The sun is above that
The moon is on the back side of the sun
The sky is all at the top half
The humans are on the land
By the ocean belongs the sand
The animals go in there respective place
It's all tying together like a shoe lace
But wait
Look there's a empty space in the middle
I have no more puzzle pieces
Did I drop it did I miss place ?
I look around and I can't trace
Now I'm curious
In the puzzle all the animals look to the missing piece with a smile
humans look at it crying tears of joy
This must be something important
I ask my mom i ask my dad
They have no answer and it makes me sad
I ask friends I ask family
They have no idea what this missing piece could be
I go to the store to look for more
The employee says there sold out for sure
I look it up on my phone
everyone who has it, has a similar tone
Nobody has a clue
this missing puzzle piece is a mystery to the human race
So I think what about the animals they see it too
Suddenly I know what to do
I find my dog I show him the puzzle
I ask what is this missing piece?
He looks at me then paws at my heart
i say come on this is no time to start these games
At least if you don't know give me names give me a clue please I don't know what else to do
I feel like without this piece we're all like caged animals in a zoo
But my dog walks away with nothing to say
Now I think about that day
Why did he paw at my heart he was very adamant to touch that spot
I think about what this action might have taught
When you see a heart what's the first think you think of ?
It hit me hard like a train smashed my brain
Cause I feel so dumb right now

He never finished this because as soon as he figured it out he left on a journey to find the missing piece now that he knew what it was
I pray he finds it for the sake of the human race

My mouth moves to produce silence
My hands move to produce my soul
As it flows to my fingertips so fluently
I open my mouth again still nothing
Except a tear falling down
My voice is trapped in my heart so he talks to it so it can tell my soul
as my soul speaks to my mind and says
For our health and wellbeing write these words down release it into the world
The voice will be free soon
I know it
The voice will be free soon
With this it is written
and so it is guaranteed
The voice will be free soon

Dear death
Markees Jul 2017
You don't scare me any more
Not to say that you tried
Naive lost humans created this fear in death because they don't believe in where they came from
I was one of them everyone is at one point
I'm sorry I thought of you in such a bad light
I'm sorry your one of the most hated feared things in life but you are our savior
Why do you stay
What do we do to deserve lifes ending
All the badness we are don't we deserve to live this ever so flawed life forever with no end to the constant happiness that is only ripped away until we no longer try to be happy any more and stay sad
Don't we deserve that
Cause I see people everyday
That think the same way
Your meaning means nothing to them even when it is told to them
I love them I do but what will it take to make people understand
That this physical life is only a test to the higher collegiate level of the GODS
Where there is only happiness that can never be ripped away
So you can not live this life in fear or hate of death
As I say a lot love is the answer
So I just wanna say I love you death
Thank you for your never ending love
You don't give up on us so I won't turn on you ever again when you decide to take me I'll hold you in my arms I'll say I love you to your face
All that you take from us I know you need it

Markees Jun 2017
I've been out here living
Just when i didn't think I could grow anymore
I try on a pair of my pants
They used to be at my ankles
Now there at my calf
Then I put on a shirt in my closet and it rips as I try to put my arm in the sleeve
I guess I need to go shopping

Dear humans
Markees Jul 2017
A flower falls from the sky who knows where it comes from
Just know it's the most beautiful flower you have ever seen
Beyoncé has nothing to say to this flower nor can Mona Lisa Tell it she was a better work of art
the idea of god might even one day cower at this flower  
The smell is a transforming one into anything
whatever you like it can be
So as this flower falls
the closer it gets to the world we live in
the more it's beauty fades away from the mere sight of the world
When it finally touched the ground it has forgotten what it was
to become ugly in every sense of the word
It's views are blurred
It starts to **** itself further
Yes this is you
Now the flower did not have a choice where it fell to
but It did chose to fall victim to it

Angels, demons and you
Markees Aug 2017
Even angels have there evils
And demons wings are white under the black
If this conception falls far from your perception
What is the direction you walk For it to land so far?
Have you walked far enough to know who you are?
I think not since you don't understand you are both
One white wing one black is the truth on your back
Meaning your meant to do good just like the evil but your good will always be more feasible
The wings are both white at the core what you see on the outside is nothing more
The black gives more meaning to any good your seeing
beautiful souls pulls toward black holes in order to find the white hiding where there is no light
You know it's there when you feel it questioning your desire to chase the deadly fire is a doubtful deed
In the end death is what you need
So I say chase something that you would die doing with a pleasure so you will never feel dead when it's done and said

You'll find a Abraham dead on the ground everyday
But you'll only be lucky when you find Benjamin laying there
Honestly I've seen more Abrahams then Benjamin will ever represent so if i picked Abraham up every time I saw him by the time I find Benjamin I would already have more then he represents

Think about it

I miss you
Markees Jun 2017
So you came into my mind again
That's the 20th time today
Probably another 100 left
I don't really fight it anymore
That just further ruins my emotions
You don't deserve that anyways
You deserve embrace
That's what I give these thoughts of you
I give them loves embrace
Your gone, but your here
Always here in my mind
I was talking to my heart yesterday
He asked when are you coming back
I said i don't know but she'll be back
He worries about you
I sometimes hear him crying at night in his room
I know it's cause he misses you
My soul said one day
He said, remember that day we spent with her
That one day the she carved a heart in the moon as a sign that she'll always be there if you look up
She never wanted you to look down
After he said that I looked up
And my tears mixed with the light of the moon
I miss you
It's hard to be strong for them
It's harder for them to be strong for me
Like I said though your always with us
Your spirit infused with ours
With that
I know we'll be fine

Just a dream
Markees Jul 2017
She comes from a broken place
Tears fell down her pretty face
Home to many was paradise
to her it wasn't all to nice
Family feuds twist her mind
Peace in home hard to find
A boy then comes in to her life
He seems to heal all her strife
But Bad company he did bring
Leading to sorrow that I sing
Mind twisted even more
Her heart smashed on the floor
Why o why couldn't it be me
Her pain I really hate to see
Years gone by haunting her mind
Peace & happiness don't come kind
Then I come in to the scene
To do something far past mean
Relapses come to attack
Sadness quickly comes back
She takes me in and gives me peace
For her the pain doesn't cease
I brought it back I know for sure
Just take me head and bring the door
Close it once, close it twice
For all I done close it thrice
Why does pain follow me
Everywhere I wanna be
I want to take it all inside
Run away go and hide
So no one can be sad again
I'll go now, no need to say when
Asleep we we're one day at night
A dream, she was Tryna fight
When she woke up what came to be
She said no don't touch me
What happened is i was in her dream
And I definitely wasn't on her team
Confused so I thought to why
Suddenly I began to cry
With her pure soul she tried to comfort me
One day I hope she will see
Everything she's ment to be
What lingers now is paradise
This dream has now happened twice
Paradise isn't what it would seem
As I cried she told me it was just a dream

Hells picture
Markees Jun 2017
Hot in some parts cold in others

Goodness all around but everyone sees bad

Everyone looking for love in the wrong places

Drinking and drugs to drown pain but pain has gills

Desires lead to disasters

Disasters lead to deaths

Deaths lead to dead

Dead People with so much regrets

Doubts in people

Judgement towards others

Minds closed and locked the key lost with the love for their selves

Dreams are mistaken for fantasies

Children raised to be negative

Being different is punishable by a lifetime of torture

Hatred is fed

Cops die, blacks die

Whites cry too

The majority is only seen one way

The minority has always been seen one way

A small amount see rainbows

A small amount hear different voices when there being spoken to

There’s a book that’s says you can’t love whoever you want and its worshipped

You can die for speaking your mind

You can live by following the crowd

This is what’s in the picture I took of hell as it posed and smiled for me

It's time we meet again
Markees Aug 2017
It has been a while and the way I last left you was not in style
The way I stayed was not exactly smooth as suede either but I plan to rectify my wrongs by showing you things will be better then I will solidify my place as the king of Mary's land
For I will not do you wrong like I have in the past
I will not abandon you only to want to run back fast
I have changed in a way that is hard to explain I can not say
It's a change though
you are home
I love you so
I know we have not seen eye to eye which leads to you asking why
No longer can I lie
Because I can not lie to my heart
Your were there from the start
Land of Mary I know believing in me may seem scary for the offenses I committed blaming you in by hard times when I was the only one to fault for my crimes but I'm coming back Mary I know it may seem scary but I'm gonna do you right until my last night and forever represent everything you present
It's time we meet again on the right terms
I love you mary in me you will never go weary

You are
Markees Jul 2017
I've been thinking
About you
In the grand scheme
In the worlds dream
How you fit in
Who you are in this
Ideas came to my mind
Theory's
Visions
Of who you are
Maybe I'm right
Maybe I'm completely wrong
This is just what I've seen

You are one but you represent all
A blue of suffocation
A blue of the sky
The fire as it warms
The fire as it burns
love in ***
*** in pain
Material Temporary feelings
Spiritual lasting love
The storms the kills many
Rainbows that come after
Every color they leave out of the rainbow
The sides that can not be seen
Life of a tree
Death of a pig
My love, his love, her love
Our pain
You are
The worlds dream come true, inside of you
All everything ever asked for
The things we hate, to what we adore
In two words you are
realities fatality

Weight
Markees Aug 2017
Times my weight by ten
You'll know how much I carry then
Though my body may be skinny
My heart is as bigger then Texas
Carrying things that make me sick and things that cure any sickness
Some cardiovascular work might be spectacular I need to get rid of all this weight
But this is years of obesity
Everything I try never eases me
The doctor said they can't do surgery on my condition
Figure it out yourself
So I'm here on my bed
Gaining weight as we speak
Now a days my body drags my chest around
They say I move so slow
Well now you know
My hearts gonna blow from all the **** it eats
So I'm prayin to god to shave some pounds
........
That's what I thought you'd say

My heart now is the weight of the world
What can I say it wants it all
When it explodes then who would you call
To take in all these worldly things and destroy themselves as you walk around skinny and free
I asked for help and you just looked at me
You scared of a little weight?
It'd do you some good
No now your to late
This is my fate
Learn from this hold each other's weight

Never again ( hurt )
Markees Aug 2017
This feeling In my heart twists my gut
You started a tornado that is destroying me internally
In so much pain I think how can it be
I could be so dumb as to let you see the real me
So you can have your way and leave one day
I asked no, BEGGED You to stay!
Your answer reflects where I am today
In my bed with so many words to you unsaid
Right now hateful words that if spoken out loud would probably **** the birds
So I keep them in
I guess you think you win
The games not done
I will be the one
Happy in the end
This will eat you over time
Your heart will bend
For every word in this rhyme
Is it safe to say I hate you
I wish it was but I wouldn't want to say it if I didn't love you
What made me date you in the first place?
I guess that's just how sweet it is
Loves first taste
Now I know To avoid someone with your affliction
You gave me more conviction
So I went to the doctor and he gave me a subscription
For a medicine called never again

Dear rain
Markees Aug 2017
Fire falls from the sky
Endings are near
What is good
As long as the rainbow still shows when the sun glows
Then imprints itself on the moon
the moon will cry from such a beauty
One big tear which drops on the world
Trees grow from this
making apples and oranges
Man and woman rise from roots
So there must be a serpent forming from the branch
Who looks woman in the eyes and says you have the power to make man cower
(It is true but the idea is not needed)
So then the woman laid down serpently charms on the man
For test to only say I jest
Which left the man in tears to eat the apples of fears
So now the clouds see love is not seen clearly
Pain can be washed away in rain
So it fell until none was left
Lonely and sad the earth was
Rain continued for years
As the rain built love in its true shape and form
Humans were then born again

You know what would be just right
Let's have a movie night
What's your taste in sugary waste that you wanna eat as we take a seat and make this night so sweet
with a good movie
You see I'm tired of going out Let's just stay here
I have a fear that the outside world doesn't understand what we demand but at our own command we can watch a movie that relates to our minds debates
You know?
not feel so judged, or like we're art that got smudged
If we are, aren't we still art?
what puts us apart from the others we're all still brothers
They can't see it though
this movie does so let's stay here lay down there's nothing To miss, out on the town
so much more is right here where everything is more clear
I know we're gonna have to go out there again
don't you just need a break now and then
The nights excitement can't always be on 10
A 4 is fine if not more on the days a good movie slays the things life pays to give us a hard time figuring out
when the answers with out a doubt are simple
You see I get it life's unavoidable but for right now let me win this one fight
let's have bliss with this movie night

When I dive into her is the only time I can swim or maybe it's the only time I can breathe under water
The water is something of none other to much will **** a brother
I don't care any chance I get I take a dare
**** I'll die and come out of this same water so what does it matter
Skip all the chatter let's have *** give me a new life through you boo
Bend over I'll hit you right there
put your head down put your *** in the Air
girl I swear your something else this water won't stop flowing I can't stop going all night
I'll hit it just right as you scream I'm living out my dream
when you moan it's just the right tone for me to send my life into your womb which is my tomb
it was worth it I had a good time
you drug me the way you tug me into you
I'm dying but this *** you're giving has me flying
feeling your skin makes me win
The look of you while I sink or swim
For-fills my every whim
do I love you or do I love what you do
are they the same what do you claim
stop moaning and screaming, talk to me tell me how you feel about this feeling
Come here give me a kiss when I die this is something I'll miss
while you sit on me rotating your hips let me feel those lips
Let me feel that love, that life as I fill you with mine
You are the the meal tonight as I fine dine
Your *** is my savior I solemnly swear I'll serve you as you served me a whole new life
Thank you

Sure won't be the last
I wanna get lost in you again fast

Birth

He.

He who is unknown to my mind right now

Her.

Her who is always on my mind

He softly touches her skin with his words so that her mind would ease and open the secrets of this world to he

He. He who yearns for knowledge as broad as space and wisdom always rising like the human population

He gained enough knowledge to know her was the key to what he yearns

Her. Her who does not know her true potential but it oozes off her drowning anyone she’s close to in euphoria of the greatest level

He. He who sees through eyes of wonder, he is fascinated by her

Dumb founded,

Can nobody else see the power her holds

He. He who will bath in her euphoria, soak in her light fuse with her golden blood of creation

Her. Her who feels he, her sees he’s passion of a suns explosion and falls in love with his unending love

He. He who will finally get his deepest desire, his reoccurring dream, his life’s work

He. He who shall become one with her tonight

Her. Her who will let he into her fire of a phoenix that was blessed to her at birth

He. He who climbs to the highest point to get the privilege to dive into her fire of immortal life and death

He stares at it below the heat pulling him closer, the fire roaring his name

He undresses, he walks toward the edge and he dives into her

Her. Her who absorbs his knowledge and wisdom

Her who pushes him deep into her fire

He who is burning in bliss

Her who is eating in ecstasy

He who dives deeper than her pushed him into

Her who screams in love

He who is getting more than he ever imagined

Her who never imagined anything like this

They. They who slept in creation and woke in birth

Face to face
Markees Jul 2017
Through the window of my room
In my moms house
As the winter bloomed
I discovered inspiring beauty walking in the cold night
Every step you took my heart took two more towards you
Lucky my room is on the first floor cause I opened my window and jumped out at my hearts command
By this time the house on the corner cloaked your body but I could still feel the feelings you give off
I follow it
It's a frozen yogurt on a hot summer day
A Happy drunk
Sounds Beautiful music
A Dream come true
A Genuine laugh on a sad day
A I'm happy and I don't care what you say
Along those lines is how you make me feel
So I run
In my Hanes boxers
My white T
My bare feet
That run to you through the cold was so sweet
Cold was of the earth
What I was running to was bigger then heaven so I rose above for you
I hit the corner
Flicked off the house
Don't you ever hide my spouse again I say to it
You see she gave me the power to see the future when I looked at her eyes for those 3 seconds
I saw me and you laying down doing what couples do
My heart saw it
he believes it's true
So here I am standing in front of you
You and me me and you
Face to face
So now where do we go from here
I'm thinking forever
If you don't like the sound of that how about eternity
Love?
Happiness?
Friendship?
If not any of these things can we just talk occasionally
Life is a paradise around you
Face to face
Right now we have nothing but each other
The cold even wants us together it's freezing us in this moment
The world loves us
Face to face
What is time while our presence eats up space
Nothing is real but me and you when we're
Face to face

Stress
Markees Jul 2017
Self inflicted disease that has spread the dead across the earth
Infected the day you gain a conscience and some responsibilities
The stress takes effect to your abilities
Also your tranquilities
Things that make you calm are not so bomb
Stress is all that's on your mind
Peace is hard to find
This disease is never kind
Your body then starts a pain because your mind is going insane
All you have to do is not think so blue
Blue as bad blue as sad
A positive thought will cure what stress brought
Doctors can't prescribe positivity
Pharmacy cant give a good mentality
The cure is a slight pour of a pure thought
Into your core thoughts
That'll clear you right up
Apply every time stress tries to fight up
It'll bring it right back down
and bring the light up

Surprise still strikes your eyes
10 years invested
You still don't fully know what you invested in
Will you ever
Will they ever
See all sides
Have you discovered all of yours
Did you come to terms with the ones your not to happy with
Discovery is the definition of life
Look around love around
Find the sides you never seen
Just know you'll never find them all

The list
Markees Jul 2017
On an on
An
On an on
The list goes of what I have to do
Lord knows
Woke up today on a mission
Operation life tuition
Complete the list
when the objectives complete
Then I go back to the place I came
Where me and my creator meet
But first this list
I'm stuck on one it's pretty hard
When I was growing up there must have been something I missed
It's number 1: love everyone
Ok thats the only one
Yes I know I said it goes on an on
I lied ok a silly little con
Back to the list of one
The list makes it sound so simple but how can this be done
Some people just aren't loveable at all
When I think of who my self was the first I saw
( and there is the point where he drops the ball a hopeless mindset leads to the hopeless life jet, airline where we fly you straight to the ground )

A family
Markees Jul 2017
Boy
Father
Mother
Daughter
Boy o boy stares at the stars at night
Then his mind at day
Father o father looks down at his family creation & Becomes lost in his power
Mother o mother stressed and hurt weight on her back harder for her to stand straight every day
Weight given to her children she can't carry herself
Daughter o daughter you take a hell that can not be explained and you still walk with the fire of it burning your heart
You talk with the ice of it freezing your soul
I see you daughter you are strong and the peace of the world
The love of the universe
Boy you are the hope of the future the drive in the world
Father you are the roots of life
Mother you are the life support
Nurture your family
While your roles in life don't define you
They do guide you
Evolving as they evolve you

Unknown
Markees Jul 2017
Find me in the unknown
I'm starting to like it here
It's never dull
Always something knew
I find amazing things here
I meet amazing people
I feel like I belong in the unknown
I get to comfortable anywhere else and I'm always the outcast
In the unknown when I'm free I'm excepted
It is not for the scared
Not for the closed minded
Outside it seems dark but walk in
You see things you never thought you would in your life
Good or bad
The unknown betters you
You were created in it why are you scared this is your home
In the nothing
In the unknown

Desperate to survive
Markees Jul 2017
Me or you what shall I do
Power I hold to make you dream with a touch of a hand
Do not force me if you have unfinished business
I have the same
Bills I've yet to claim
Let's walk away in peace
Not leave loved ones in pieces
To the best of my power I will finish my business
Anointed to me by the highest
Markees Jul 2017
I stop and I say
What are we doing
We know how little time we have
Yet we walk like death is not tomorrow
A hour from now
Or in the next minute
We move with low purpose
We talk holding off what we say
Procrastination rules what we do
Time watches us with his popcorn and soda laughing, crumbs flying out his mouth
soda leaking out his nose
Tears of the time we wasted flowing down his cheek
We have such little time until the day we die
Let's fight until we die
Love hard until our heart stops
Be honest with ourselves
there's nothing to lose with so little time
We have to have fun
We gotta die happy
There can't be regrets
A frown will not be on my face as I close my eyes
Because I loved the little time I had before I died

Inside
Markees Jul 2017
A place where shapes form
Army's become one
Freedom waits
Love hides in plain sight
Trees grow in may different ways
Sleep never closes its eyes
The sun explodes every once and a while
Water takes its own form
Kids teach adults
Daughters protect fathers
Good has a mischievous taste
Bad thinks about others all the time
Fear fights followers
Snakes tell you to follow your heart
Apples tell you there true intent
Signs see you
Pain is peace
Power waits to be recognized
Hell holds love
Heaven scares the innocent
Demons tuck you in at night
Angles then kiss you before you go to sleep
Then they go to there bedroom to cuddle and fall asleep in love with each other
This is inside

Speed
Markees Jul 2017
Where does the road end
Move slow you'll never know
Move fast it won't last
How many miles should I walk a day
When should I sleep along the way
Can I stop to have a little fun
Should I walk until the road is done
Will relationships halt my journey
Am I really in that much of a hurry
If my dream is on the side
Can I stop moving with the tide
Stay there forever
Or Move on
Would it be clever
Is this road a con
I move forward
Not to fast
Not to slow
To some place I don't even know
What should I do
What would you
Stay the course
Or follow something new

— The End —
