Grew up with tough love
It doesn't come easy or natural
Always a sacrifice to be accepted
Denying yourself over living a lie
Use to rejection can't force it to be
Open to change personal growth
Expected to be someone else
Can't live or be the person
Someone else made you out to be
Trying to be loved hating yourself
Working to be accepted being denied

Broke free onto a new job a new chapter fresh beginnings.
Leaving the job you have and job that's loved working at two locations. Now a permanent full time not having to worry about covering or missing one job to fill the void at the other. One job one location one area instead 2 regular or 2 because you cover for those who miss. Well rounded able to adapt and adjust.

Didn't know anymore
Older and wiser not the same
Things are not what they appear
Overwhelmed by fear
Seem too complicated avoided it
Never the first pick
Thankful for opportunity
Broken just want to feel whole
Be normal whatever that means
Same chance as everyone else
Made work fun but not happy
After a while pondering life
Where did it go wrong
Able to turn weakness to strength
The past doesn't make a future

Tired of proving yourself
Never going to be accepted
Denying yourself to be liked
Called selfish for self care
Showing emotions labeled as gay
Disrespect from the person
Claiming to have respect
Dealing with phonies
Being chummy for information

This heart has been on lockdown
Scared to love fear of getting hurt
Protecting everything by myself
Gave everything to lose it all
Not sure how to feel anymore
Burned up inside from the lies
Was loyal to all the wrong people
Betrayed by friends seen like a brother
All over a girl playing games
Who can't be true to anyone
Telling it all let go of an old life
Can't hold back anymore

Loud music for inspiration to feel it
Feeling the vibe to see in this mind
Writer's block blind to everything
Able to connect or relate feeling out of the loop
Human behavior always observing
Disappointed trying to reset recharge
Going through the motions over it
Grinding through don't want to do it
Just to be doing something keeping busy
If writing could write the golden ticket
Working hard to get hired still a part timer
Working harder than the full timers
Always taking pride in work
While others collect pay doing nothing
Respect for the elders most waiting to retire
Retired years ago just holding on to their spot
So they can have better benefits

Always wanted to make it
Can't take it but work for it
Not worried about others
Stopped comparing competing
Working on a solo projects
Sharing with others for feedback
Like to bounce around ideas
Use to be more confident
Overcome all the smack talking
Rise about above all the doubt

At a fancy pricy spot
She was into the finer life
He was simple and hard working
She'd order an expensive pasta
He ordered the cheapest appetizer
She told him what she thought
He seemed like the refined type
He was the hard working type
That didn't value material items
She was educated and valued it
With multiple associates degrees
While he was a college drop out
Who knew things read a book or two
But didn't take anything to heart
They'd talk about social manners
And gender roles it helped
Give one another an idea
Of their social standing
He grew up poor and worked for his
While she had multiple chances
But never stayed with them
She was a beautiful girl
Turns out employees expected more
She had morals would not sleep
Her way up the corporate ladder
He had a hard time getting hired
Grateful and thankful to be working
They'd walk around expensive stores
She dreamed of more
While he was barely getting by

Being written off by others
Betrayal pierced the heart
Friend to foe now strangers
Stayed away all the pain
Had to cut ties stayed away
Not come around anymore
Ashamed for trusting
Embarrassed by mistakes
Who are you alone
Don't want to be another face
In a crowded room
Meant to stand out
With different people

Haven't had a friend
That's reliable and could trust
Called them out on it
And they do the same
Back and forth with the jokes
Making ******* remarks
Always one sided
Putting in all the effort
Did it to be cool
Yet treated so cruel
Letting a helping hand
So many expect
It's never enough

He failed at his first relationship
Loving a female friend
Who didn't love him back
His heart was crushed
Over protective of the heart
Moving onto the next
Not sure how to act
Or who to be with her
He just wanted a healthy relationship
To be himself is all he knew
He never cheated accused of it
Lots of them projecting toxic traits
On him to clear their guilty conscience

Sometimes others ask
What's on your mind
Wondering do they care
Or are they using you to pass time
Making it hard to open up
Difficult to trust like a set up
Trying to be genuine
Nothing to hide
Everything out in the open
So many don't care
Not interested
Once it's closed off
Shut down all of a sudden
Some one shows concern

He loved her but it was over. She didn't believe in his dream. She told him he wasn't good enough it tore him up from the inside out. The anger didn't resonate with him. He did what he loved while everyone else gave up on their dreams.
He was pursuing it behind the scenes working his craft. Getting better educating himself trying to apply what was being learned to better his situation. His family didn't get or understand him since he didn't listen to NO or like being told that he couldn't do it. Giving his all even though it wasn't good enough staying positive working it from all angles and directions eventually it would work out fall into place.
He wanted to write stand up and sitcoms tell his story. He took those steps shared with friends and did his podcast that gave him a voice. He broke free of his family they called him delusional and kept him out for being single and not having a family. He was smart didn't want to do that with just anyone.

Ever deleted a number mad
Wishing you saved it
Or wrote it down
Hoping to see them again
But its better to stay away
She was in a bad relationship
Couldn't help or convince her
To change her mind
Getting hurt over it
It had nothing to do with you
Tried to make the wrong right
Had to cut the cord
Turn your back stopped worrying
To protect your heart

Saved by God's grace

Thought she was the one
Giving your heart to the wrong person
Being able to heal and feel
Can't keep blocking out the hurt
The misery grows but life's about living
The heart begins to grow learn again
Love is something that take the pain away
Share a moment with someone
Stop being a shell of the past
Be the lit up in the present
Trust the one is out there
Feel with emotions
Love like you've never been hurt
Stop holding back be thankful
Be grateful for all blessings
Don't be boxed in o boxed out
Be you that's who you are and whatcha know

Buying the next round for all
Loved for the night
Will wake up broken
No other moments of communication
Once last call is made
Rushing for the next drink
The tab is closed out intoxicated
Not sure how to get home safe
Low on funds paying for the fun
Realizing it wasn't fun anymore
Alone pondering all the destruction

You can't be that way
Being better than before
Not tapping into the ghetto side
Can't hide anymore
Get to know a person first
Don't assume you know this life
Making up stories ***** crazy boring
Saying everything but the truth
Growing letting go of old friends
Finding closure and inner peace
Cant live a double life
Could barely handle the one living

Talking mid story
Trying to see where it came from
What's motivating this
Where did this inspiration come from
Felt alive wired during the process
Having fun trying not to obsess
From the darkness to being lit up
Reminded of the good times
Followed by the bad ones
Funny stories from back in the daze
Another phased passed onto the next

He blocked out the haters they told him NO it made him want it more. He was obsessed eyes locked on his goals his success so many detours he didn't lose faith eventually he got there and was thankful. It didn't happen right away when it did he was grateful never looked back he just sees the people who doubted him and proving them wrong. Shutting down those that mocked him after being injured and depressed anxious to get back on the mats. Being harassed for missing practice because he had to work. Taunted by people that had it given to them while he had to work for his way. Never fit in or cared for gym politics but one who focused on the technique and drills.

They'll hate you for speaking up he thought about the consequences. Just because you bully everyone doesn't mean you are right. Mind your business stop telling people how to live their life.
No one owe you or has to explain themselves to you. This argument plays out in the mind but the words won't come out. Makes sure you are right before you talk about anyone.
What hurts most is the people you valued and respect; don't see or treat you the same.
He was tired of the lies when he was honest. He seen them as an equal and they want nothing to do with him. They try to make him feel bad but he's been disappointed for year.
They like to get a reaction of people he learned to not give in show any feelings or emotions.
If others seen him overreact they'd assume he was making a scene or had the problem. Being provoked by them was a waste of time he'd walk away. They expected him to change and they made no effort to treat others right.

When your mentor goes
You carry take the knowledge
Apply it to life use it to help others
People come and go like the seasons
Some without out reasons
You'd fight to keep them
Other you let them go
watch them leave nothing said
One last hug and say good bye
After many kisses of passion
This will be the last one
Drunken nights with fun stories
Memories some good and treasured
Along with the bad that helped the bond
Hoping to meet again another time
Some good riddance stay far away

His love grew for her
As she became distant
He knew something was wrong
She didn't look or feel the same
Her vibe changed from charged
To numb avoiding eye contact
He didn't know what the problem was
Or how to fix it make it right
An obsession becoming a distraction

Back home fell a sleep
Composing thoughts and ideas

Pick something more not less
Choose for the better keep striving

She always told him
Pursue your dreams
He didn't always
Believe in himself
He got distracted by work
He never got hired
Didn't want to give up
On his dreams still writing
They met at the community college
They were accepting of one another
She was his friend
Sad when she moved away
She'd come visit him
They hung out caught up

Never in the inner circle
Had crowds and groups
None with goals or dreams
Most just wanted to party
Have fun get laid be cool
After a while it got old meant nothing
Needed to find more like minded people
More goal oriented not just working
Be able to invest in yourself
Those goals and dreams have value
Never talked about anyone
Why does everyone think they can look down
They are more important knocking others
Never been about material possessions
Some see lust as love but don't love themselves
A job doesn't define you, you're easily replaced
So many life lessons learned and walked away

From the heart feeling, and seeing the truth. Moments in time lost in the transition writing takes the stress away. A sweet escape from the reality that doesn't coordinate with these emotions. Dealing with the internal struggle moments that passed. wasn't living in the moment had no clue what was going on. Mind missing loved ones that are going some have passed till we meet again. While other times women wedge and bad communication misunderstanding one another holding a grudge. Divided never going to be friends or reunited.

Forever in this hurting heart
Use to be close not friends anymore
I called reached out got ignored
Seen you as my best man
Women came between us
Prayed to be forgiven
Sober because I hurt so many
Clean living clarity of mind
Not making those mistakes anymore
We don't talk so you'll never know
Leading to fading in the background
Saved your place on this end
On your end replaced
Labeled as the bad guy
Not about that life anymore

The last time we hung out
She needed a ride home from school
Talking to one another
Getting to know each other
She was fresh out
Of a called off engagement
She talked about not being serious
Later would tell everyone things
We're serious usually private about things
Eventually she would find someone
Who would be patient and tolerant
People come and go hard to get attached
Some get intimate but not commitment
Others do everything possible but no labels
Thinking about dating now a days
It's like jumping into
A shallow puddle of mud

Physically pushing through
Giving it all even when exhausted
From wild child to responsible adult

Let go of all the bad
Just be free from the mind scheme

Need to have fun feel full
With new moments

The birdie in the window
Heard the chirps so loud
Saying hi little bird
Flying in from of the window
Landing on the antenna
On the house next door
Flying back to the window
Looking in wondering
Asking are you okay
Chirping thinking of a lost one
Been told birds are loved ones
Angels looking out
Landing on the ledge
Looking out the window still
Wings flapping fast then flew away

Lust mistaken for love
Blinded to the world
Not able to hear only her voice
Didn't believe the rumors
So many red flags still in denial
Lost in those eyes seeking hope

Willing to lose it all sacrifice for her
She'd never open up or true
Closed up closed off love on a timer
