They saw world through closed eyes

In explanation
Had grown up too fast

Eyes traumatized
Sights not meant for such young
Supple bodies

But never opening to realize I am not her

The rain that drenched her as a young lady barely grazed me

Maybe I have closed eyes to thank for that

let me show you what a shadow feels like.

blank, dark, unnoticed.

i am my own shadow, in the light.

When the world
Fails
To let the light in,
Turn on the light inside of you.

When the world
Is awash
With bitter cold,
Fuel the flame in the hearth.

When the world
Looks
To silence you,
Scream your name from the rooftops.

When the world pushes you down,
Tests your limits,
And blocks your way,
Find the hand reaching out to you,
And let them pull you back up.

You are not alone.

Our paths may be different but we journey as one.
You will get through this.

I promise.

<3 Cam

I'm NOT ONE To Shirk...
When It Comes To Work... !!!
But See That Some JERKS...

Like To Run DUMB Words... !?!?!

Like...

" Virge is so Lucky ! His life seems YUMMY !
He and his bed, are the best of friends !
When he gets up, my work day's done ! "

"Well that's because, i’m an artist son,
who isn't in view on entertainment news !
Isn't what we do, a form of working too ?"

You See I Work In Ways...
That EMPLOY My BRAIN...
In... DIFFERENT Ways... !!!
To The Modern Day SLAVE... !!!!!

Who Just WORKS To Get PAID.... !!!

You See The WORK That I Do...
EMPLOYS My Brain Tool...
So... ISN'T Valued...
By These New Age FOOLS... !!!!!

Bosses Whose Losses...
Have Bonuses DROPPing... !!!!!

Have You Been Paid Off...
Cos' Your Job's Been Lost... ?!?
Like Money That Was Given...
To... BERNIE MADOFF... !!!

Are YouThe Type of... " ***' "... ?
Who CLAIMS To LOVE THEIR JOB... !?!

EVEN THOUGH Your Boss...
Treats You Like His DOG... !?!?!

Do You HATE Your Boss... ?!?
Because of What He's GOT... ?

THAT You CAN'T HAVE... !!!
Cos' Your Wage Is... BAD... !!!!!

Cos' You Work Like A SLAVE... !!!!!
For A... " minimum wage "... !!!!!!

While Those Who Shirk Work...
Seem To Be... WELL PAID... ?!?

Well I Guess NOWADAYS... ?
That MOST Would Say That They...

" Work to survive,
cos' that's just life ! "

Well I've Done MY TIME...
Working On THE FRONTLINE... !!!
So Let Me MAKE THIS CLEAR... !!!!
To... JUDGEMENTAL Ears... !!!!!

MY LIFE's Work Has Made Me Learn...
That Money BURNS For Worms To TURN... !!!

I Turned My BACK On A Life Like THAT... !!!
When My Mothers' Health...
Left Her........... UNWELL.......... !!!!!!

So I Worked for Her...
UNTIL Her... Death... !!!

NOT Pounds or Pence... !!!
Cos' It Made NO SENSE...
To Be... Making Pounds...
While Her Health Was...
.... "Drowned".... ?!?

Because WITHOUT Her......
Where Would Big Virge Be... ???

In Her Womb WITHOUT Room...
To MOVE Or... "Breathe"... !!!!!!!

See I WORKED To GET HERE...
YES I DID... COMPETE...
To EARN My Place In HUMANITY... !!!

So I... IGNORE Clowns...
Who KEEP Running Their Mouth... !!!!!!

UNLESS YOU KNOW My Story...
STOP WITH Your Allegories... !!!

Cos' I've Worked In Ways...
That Required NO PAY... !!!

Because... MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS...
Was My Mothers Diagnosis... !!!!

So I Had NO Month of Notice... !!!
Or Time For Quick Promotions... !!!!
  
Cos' THESE Words HERE I'm Quoting...
Are NOT THOSE Made For JOKING... !!!

Some of The WORK I CHOSE To Do...
Has Left Some People BROKEN... !!!!!!!!

But STILL Some CLAIM...
... " I'm LAZY "... ?!?

These People MUST BE CRAZY... !!!!!!
My Work DEFINES My BEING...
Cos' I'm Working When I'm Sleeping... !!!!!

Just Like My Heart KEEPS Beating... !!!
My Mental's ALWAYS Breathing... !!!!!

Cos' NOW My Art is Where My Heart...
Is Making MARKS WITHOUT The Charts... !!!!!

My Artistry's An INDUSTRY...
Because It's CREATIVITY's...

BEYOND Those Built...
... For SLAVES You See... !!!!

Is That You... ?
Cos' That's NOT ME... !!!!!

One Day Maybe The INDUSTRY...
Will SEE These Words As Being Worth...
MORE THAN Verse...
That's DEEMED To WORK...

Because It FEEDS...
Chickens Like JERKS... !!!!!

Who CHOOSE To SLAVE...
For A.... " Daily Wage “...

A Wife And Kids...
And A House That's BIG... !!!!!

Well That's ALL GOOD....
If You Work For... YOU... !!!

But CLEARLY MOST...
Work For... THE MAN... !!!

And Seem Quite Willing...
To Do HIS BIDDING... !!!!

It May Seem That We DON'T Do Much...
But Artists STARVE For Work We LOVE... !!!!!

So BEFORE You Choose....
To CAST... " Aspersions "...

I Suggest You INFUSE...
Some... HIGHER LEARNING...

Cos' NOWADAYS It's Well Observed...
There Are... MANY THINGS...

That DEFINE....

......... " WORK ".........
