Etiquette Nov 2020
Today I feel fantastic
Waking up with a smirk
I think I'll play a classic
And put on my favorite shirt

Walk out to a sun-rising breeze
Hair blowing in the wind
I look over I see a hive of honeybees
Their sight makes my heart mend

This idea that I can be anything
I relish in my potential
Days like this make my spirit sing
Like the lyrics to an instrumental

As the time progresses
With each passing minute
There's an alleviation of stresses
Previous bad relationships amended

The clocks turn to five
Confidence grows with each step
A glimmer of hope in every stride
Glad to have a house and a cashed check

I finally have some peace
No worries in my brain
Returning home from busy streets
A happy life is what I aim

As I sit here writing at eight
Music playing in my ears
I imagine new lines to create
To justify the deserved cheers

I'll fall asleep as midnight closes in
Thankful that I found sense of being
The day slows to an end
My mind is clear so I know what I'm seeing

The fact that we are alive
Satisfaction will then follow
Be grateful when we survive
In anticipation of an even better tomorrow
Etiquette Nov 2020
We fight with a purpose
In the mind is where we plan
Feeling from my spine to the surface
I start to see the line in the sand

As far as I can tell
We live to survive
Being alone is what we dwell
The time to stand together has arrived

True soldiers can fight forever
There is no limit to the weapons
Sunny days and rainy weather
Protection comes whenever threatened

Prospering among the enemies
A promise to all who stand across
We will succeed against the entity
No matter how many end up lost
Etiquette Nov 2020
Life is like a dice game
It's all in my hands
Nothing stays the same
Trying to be the strongest in the land

The bane of my existence
Is the thought of failing
Thoughts of my childhood are remnants
Of a time when pain wasn't scathing

Ability to avoid crumble
Resistance to temptation
My power to never stumble
Success is the sensation

The pressure of this society
Deteriorates everyone around me
The best is what I try to be
Pros and cons that surround the beat

Still young with a ways to go
A flamboyant personality
Technical rambunctous flow
Authentic unescapable reality

The halo of life remains bright
Even at times it feels lonely
I never feel unneeded in the slight
Fruitless to loathe me

Writing down my thoughts
With the help of the dictionary
In the mind I'm never caught
Wordplay from the itinerary

My timetable is infinite
Never deviate from the plan
My opposite is a sycophant
Nonexistent to man

I can hear myself talk
But only in my head
Sounds like that's my fault
Better take myself to bed

But it's not a bed
It's the lair of thought
The ideas i've been fed
And the lies that I bought

— The End —
