The best things in life ain't bought
Even if I never have a lot
All the problems I used to have, forgot
This is how I feel on my day off
Million things in my life that I would rather do
Here I am sitting in a room in front of you
Looking in your eyes hoping things would be different
Like love had a queue to go on but we missed it
Bout time for time for us to start going our separate ways
Time heals all wounds now I'm counting down all the days
Not enough on this calendar but that's how it goes
Guess everything that glitters isn't meant to be gold
Time goes on so you'll never lose your way
Street lights came on now you got no time to play
What You're telling me is I was the only one afraid
Not to let you go
I'm afraid I wouldn't chase
I'm just a memory
Do you remember me?
I remember you were stealing all my empathy
Said you wanted change
Well change is what I'll do
I do it for me
I wasn't good enough for you
I will be making this poem into a little music piece, stay tuned and remember to come back when I re-release it with a link to my Tiktok where I post all my music.
Can't get your flowers with no ambition
Stay watered, make good decisions
Hard to grow if your dream's in the dark
That keep on wilting
You pay them no mind
To bring you peace
With your dreams rooted in some shade
Turn your escape into an escapade
Never give up on a rain delay
Don't let it sway
The progress you make today
There's a reason it's called a process
These things take time and steps
And what happens next
Ain't set in stone
But even flowers grow
From beneath your feet
Through the cracks of the toughest concrete
So if you feel the heat like a soufflé
Ambition turns your world into a bouquet

Happy Fathers day to those that celebrate
I've been preserving the day I'll one day
Demonstrate as a Father in cellophane
To keep it fresh
No dad around so my Mom gets a double check
year round for being everything I never had
I just want to hold your hand forever
Stormy weather meet my umbrella
I promise I'm a decent fella
I just fella into a hole I'm climbing out though
tucked in the smallest of alcove
where no one could see me down bad
practically at my worst
All out of tears and can't quench my thirst
Until i met you
who knew it would sound cliché
Still not caring if I have to say it anyway
its not about the words
or the action
I couldn't imagine like dragons
but this radios about to be active
This little light of mine went dim on the shine
A twinkle that wasn't ready to show
or ready to glow
Feel like I let myself go
into a place I never imagined
but a promise is a promise so I'm
Bound to make it happen
with real reactions in my time and space
some fear has to be stared right in the face
or face the fact you've got nothing to lose
only everything to gain
that comes only with the pain
and every inch of rain
You feel on your fragile skin
Emotional walls condemned
I wouldn't let them in
even late night like letterman
I just wanna be me again
I'm waiting for my story to begin
even this late in life
I found my wife
A true ride or tie
That now her myself and I
To stand the test of time
Till my ready to shine
oh this little light of mine
I can stand the rain
but cant stand some change
I liked how things were
But that way of thinking is worse
in my bag with the opening zipped up
couldn't breathe
not enough room to hiccup
but broken pieces always get picked up
because they have to
cant go on in life being half you
but I'm going nots like cashew
kicked out the fast food
now bad moves
lead me to add to
the things I've yet to change
some rhymes and light story
