Free write (name ideas?)
James Hedrick Sep 2015
At times I look back an think maybe I know to much;
  Only to open my eyes and realize I can never really know enough.
#Knowledge

  It's tough,
When facts come to light;
  You start thinking its the end of the tunnel....
    Till it funnels you right into some more headlights...

  That's not bright,
Shoulda stayed in your lane...
  You get confused in your moods and act rude with these dudes on the assumption that you know REAL pain..

  Making presumptions that you an I are one in the same;
  Playing a role in this game;
Just tryin to get by,
      Get high and get fly but I guess things change when its success that's in range...
#ThatsEnvy

I could take it there...
  Fk your 2 cents b*h,
Especially when you ain't got any sense to spare.
   (That's not fair)
Thanks for the reads!!!!! It really means the most to me!

What is evil?
James Hedrick Sep 2015
I've been holding this one back but **** it might as well drop a diamond every now an then....

They say "money is the root of all evil"...
  Which I can see the confusion because it makes sense that when cents is involved it usually call's for a deceitful illusion...
      No that ain't right, let me try again..

They say "money is the root of all evil" which makes sense if your fake,
   Since anytime evils involved it usually revolves around people....

   But what's "evil"?
  It's funny we'd blame the money and not our need for change.. ..
  Given the currency of our situation you can almost see the green in our veins... .

  Excuse me,
See the greed in my veins just wants to live free but these politician's rather see me in chain's,
  See me in pain,
Starving to death in these streets
They wanna see me be tamed but what do they say????
.......
."Not a snowballs chance in hell" you'll ever come to see me that way,
  No not today,
    Not tomorrow or even next year..
  I'm not like you,
I'm not like any other dude or your closest of peer's,
  Not even if they switched up their mood, found a new groove and started facing their fear's..
  I am the only me... ..
An a hundred million years from today that'll be something the world will still see.
Follow me!!!!! Hope you liked the read! I'll be posting more often. Thanks for your time!!!!

Hashtag poetry
James Hedrick Nov 2014
Wisedom is to know the difference between your faith and religion.
  Stupidity is to not know either.
They say war isn't an action but an emotion fueled by rage and anger..
   I say war isn't part of what we do but who we are,
Its in our nature.

People now days have confused strength with confidence and how far one is willing to go...
#Unwise

We judge the people around us before we meet one another.
  We pick and choose people to hate an people to love without making choices.
#NoLoyalty

They say YOU can change but you have to change yourself...
  Better said than,
The world is gonna change and your status will be determind by your wealth.
   Saying "money over everything" is like saying "**** everyone else",
But to put that in action is like admitting you'd rather live by yourself.
#TheWholeπ

Surrounded by galaxies and a forever reaching domain
#Space

We have a problem admitting we are all one in the same.
#humans

Weighted down by opression and smashed by our fears,
We're doomed to work for an eternity beyond your childs years.
#Government

Shed tears for our future,
Held back by the weak,
We've been chasing dreams and against reality, dreams will never compete..
   Its hardly a race when your starting in last but we look forward to the future, never questioning the past.
#ClosedMinded
Thank You all for the read's!!!

Life's A battle freestyle
James Hedrick Nov 2014
I'd rather sever the thought,
  Pull the lever and measure the plot as it drop's,
   Find pleasure in better thing's that are all but forgot...
  Im not this distraught...
   All the battle's I've faught..
  Chalk em up to a win,
Now I realize all that I've lost as we draw near to the end..
  
                    Just to...
               Make amends,
                       To.....
               Find friend's,
                     Who's....
         Loyalty just depends,
                      On..
How much their friendship would cost before it came to an end...

Tell em,
  The great depression is in,
My intellection will win even though it is yet to begin,
    Rapid succession with lesson's confessin within,
   Leave an impression through expression everytime the session begin's...
  ...
........
Oh God,
   How I wish they could hear me,
Fear me or cheer me,
   Clearly no one is near me..
Not your closest of peer's, see?
  I'm willing to PROVE it..
I just hope I don't LOSE it..
  Not to confuse St,
I don't mean LOSE what I set out to PROVE, b*
h..

****,
  Worthless lines of rythms march through my mind,
  Debates that I find while chasing down time and Im.....

At a loss of words...
Im so ****** tired of people admired by liar's chasing religion because of a fear of the fire..

I am,
  The igniter of fire,
Standing high on my empire of desire's like a king,
  Just call me sire.
Living breathing,
I am everything...

Faithfully

True poetry.

Would LOVE feedback and will return the favor :)

The image:
A dark grey sky looking over the ocean.
Theres two boats right off the coast just floatin..
I see a great wave off in the distance..
One boat stops...
  Looks at the wave and beg's God for forgivness...
I witnessed..

As one boat struggles to prepare for the wave, the other boat seemingly believes theyve been forgave...

The water hit covering the ships but then only one boat remained,
   Back to work they went as if nothing had ever changed..
   In the spirit of mystery...
Ill leave that ship un-named.
       But,
Lets not forget the history before that great wave rained.
  One ship worked hard to survive the splash...
    The other just stood there,., expecting the clash to pass.
     Faithfully.

My Life
James Hedrick Nov 2014
My life,
   The story of unforgivin never endin sin,
  Broken promises and memories, I cant help but to live em again...

Relapse,
  Im relivin the pen...
State to state,
  Id move the world for my kin... Make no mistake im going out on a limb...
  Stumbling around cause im gone off that gin...

My pain is insane i can feel it within..
  Who changed all the game cause i know it aint him...
Real's the new lame,
Its all the same to all them... Fakes an earthquake effecting the world that were in....

I speak thoughts everyday but your deaf to the truth...
I pray everyday but i dont have no proof...
They say in a way,
Gods where you look,
Id chase him all day if thats what it took...
  We speak all the same but his words got you shook...
  Your reaching for praise but theres no where to look..
...
And
...

****,
I cant quite land,
Im high in the sky,
I got the clouds in my hands...
I cant quite stand,
This life is a lie but id die for your hand...
  Just a rambling man,
Trying to express himself...
Your gambling hands when you should keep your bets to yourself..

Do You Remember?
James Hedrick Nov 2014
Do you remember,
All the things they would say?
Everyday it was like another rule up and changed.

Can you remember,
When we was out in the rain?
You told me when you looked up at the clouds it was like God drownding your pain..

I remember,
Going insane,
forgetting my name..

I remember...
All the things that you said,
About,
A mans only as good as his word,
Without it,
Your better off dead,
Words up-on words that seemed to fill up my head....
...
..
.
Past times...
In passed times Ive tried to speak my mind,
I pass time,
With all these rythms that I find in my mind and...

All the times I rewind :(

I remember,
The way the sun shines at the end of the day.
Replay,

Do you remember all the things they would say when I was away?
How they called out your flaws,
Now look at the pain that you've caused.....
....
...
I stood up for you,
I held you up everytime you was weak,
I was your voice when no one allowed you to speak...
.... who wouldve thought along with your thoughts, your loyalty was also bleak..

You remember,
  When **** got deep?
I remember,
  My dreams of you being the only reason I'd get sleep..
  Holy water drownding my sorrow,
   This is the leak..
  All the money in the world Id let you borrow like an Arabian sheek.

Im bored with this so Ill just stop but truth be told,
  I dont care if you like it or not.
