Good luck to all and everyone here
Because reaching for the stars was never quite clear
No title or description, just a three word mission
More like a word of advice
"Don't get hurt" and watch yourself slide
Everything I got show over your head
Going to look for it may render you dead
So just keep right there sitting
With that blank look on your face
Like someone somewhere will help
You finish the race
And all I can say is God speed
And God bless and watch out for that hallow design
When you tread with heavy feet,
Mind the signs
"Watch your step" "thin ice" "There's a bump in the road"
All put up to help you get where you need to go
But those thoughts weigh more
Then you were expecting to believe
And you'll never make up the ground
You don't even have a place to stand
No little place to call your own
No place to warm your feet
Or lift you off of the street
Or give you a pause to call it home
Just a "Do me one better" and a
"forgive her or forget her"
Or a cross over the heart and
A promise from the blind
That you'll get your wits back in due time
And keep the things the way they aught to be
This status quo **** so quickly taught to me,
Talking too fast to have time to disagree
So I'll just stay here with the ink left in my pen
Let it bleed out with the stories that it wants to send
I'll open up- Read the lines behind the black, poured out like that.
Because I'm manic in a moment
A loose cannon you might say
One brick shy and two minutes too late
Tastelessly obsessed with a new kind of mess
Tangled up, twisted and lost in total direst
Blank minded thoughts and directionless flaunts
Point me the way back to the west
New aged grooves are the next big thing
Too poor-a boy to buy my baby a diamond ring
So I'll just sit here to pass the time
Write my stories to explain the rhyme
The situation to fill up my gut with complication
A matter of patience, prefaced with-
I do not possess
A position of authority dealt to me with a weighted deck
The house rules say I'm no winner today
Let me know my place
When they empty my pockets with gestures of graciousness
Leave me empty handed, empty headed
Empty belly and empty soul
Urging to come back for the next roll
A heart filled with a new world consciousness
Sinking my drinks for a two minute connection
Lucky as a new star in the sky
I'll keep my distance as I watch you shine
From so far away it only seems OK
When I couldn't make out the blood stain
In the corner of your eye
That for so long you stumbled upon a new kind of credit
Relax and you'll forget it
So you keep it tense,
And full of drama
Backing it up and keep it caught
Loosen your grip and it will slip
From the corner it is barred in
Trapped, Backed to the point, inverted totalerian
Sub terrain, below the grid where we once played the game
There are a thousand little things
All mixed together
One on top of one on top of one on top of the other
Belief in God
Hate for your father
Knowledge of love
Talking to your brother
Failed business plans
Failed to your mother
Finishes gone aerie
And deprivation of air
Going belly up
Digging threw the junk
That made your life something,
Or more then a nameless lump
