You have the knowledge
Just got for it
Enhance your world greatly
Edify yourself and never quit
Be the one to aspire
Reach for larger heights
Continue to do your best
And make your spirits bright

I never imagined we would be this close
That we could exchange crazy, deep thoughts
Things concerning oneself, future, faith
Time, relationships, and adversities
          Just everything under the heat of the sun

I've always admired
Your twisted sense of humor
Your artistic skills
Your brilliant mind
          Especially on how you marvel at life

You've got so much to offer
That the world is not yet ready for
So just sit tight mah brotha
Your time for excellence will soon come
          And I'll be there cheering at the top of my lungs

You are a blessing to the people around you
That you deserve all the happiness
The world has to offer
Happy happy happy birthday, my dear friend
          May God bless you more and more each day

breathing
    swimming
        floating
             sinking
                  drowning
                      dying

you're so caught up
with your own problems
you forget to
count blessings instead
so get up
go out there
crawl if you must
just don't let the darkness
take the best of you
