I'm ready for war I'm ready for war Let's start the campaign Send me out on my tour
A challenge to those up ahead and before Struck me hard in the face Knocked me down on the floor A pathetic disgrace Left me ****** and sore Want so bad: I can taste Change what happened before
I'm not knocking this time Gonna kick down that door You'll get yours; I'll get mine Trust me, this much is sure Can't explain or define A disease without cure Sweet revenge comes to mind Want to open that door
But inside I will find Same mistakes as before Time to leave that behind I can be so much more Won't succumb; Not this time Like a lion I roar Life has costs; Paid the fine I've been given the tour
One directive - 'be kind' Having this, never poor 'Cause my pockets are lined Can not buy at the store Pierces through window blinds Bubbles up from the floor Search not needed to find Fills me up in my core
All the planets aligned A lost ship finding shore Couldn't see 'cause it's blind Spent my life looking for Granted gift when it's time A full rainbow is poured Open heart; Open mind To the heavens I soar
Sorry I've been a little MIA again. There are messages and comments I want to reply to (and will be doing so very soon). As well as diving into and reading the many brilliant creative pieces that have been created and shared. I have a bunch of poems that are "done" but still in 'draft' status. This is one I wrote a while back and since I haven't been really active I thought I would share something new. I hope you are all well. I plan on spending some time on here and interacting again very soon. =)
