The phone rang viciously
Hollering expletives until answered
Screaming with urgency
When the phone yearns like that
You don't check caller ID
Some information was shared
That broke my heart for my caller
And broke my heart for the can
Of A&W; that hit the floor
Life is messy
And like soda on the underfoot
It gets real sticky if you can't clean it up
So I tried reasoning with them
But they didn't understand
They had no where to go but me
And I was expected to be the voice of reason
So like I have taken a liking to saying,
Breathe
Shut up
And listen

Dreams cannot be the sole foundation
For everything
Dreams can be the starting point
But a foundation of dreams
Is almost as bad as a
A foundation composed by
A web of lies
Like lies
Dreams often fall through
True sometimes dreams are enough
But you have to use common sense
And hard work
To build a house to store your dream
Foundation

Many of the greatest things
I've encountered in my life
Start with my philosophy
Five seconds of brave
Sometimes there's a second of
Oh ****
That follows from crippling fear
But those five seconds
Are all it takes to change things
My greatest friends come from this philosophy
My greatest accomplishments
Are direct results of courage
We can't walk through life in terror
Carpe diem
Seize the day
Take every opportunity to change for the better
And never let fear stop you
Because it only takes five seconds
Five seconds of brave
With maybe a single second of
Oh **** to follow
But never to regret

Recently I've been told
How great I look
How I've put on a bit of weight
How my eyes don't sag
With rings of sleepless nights
How I look brighter
Happier
"Wow you look great"
That's because I'm fueled by emotion
Driven by heart
I'm learning that I can't
Fixate on the crippling past
And hunny I'm back in action
I'm ready to take life in my hands
And build
Not destroy
So thanks for noticing that
Wow
I do look great
As narcissistic as it sounds this a confidence poem not a conceit poem
