SOMEONE
RobbieG Sep 2021
Today SOMEONE took their own life
Today SOMEONE gave life to SOMEONE
Today SOMEONE has been killed
Today SOMEONE was *****
Today SOMEONE got kidnapped
Today SOMEONE was lost and SOMEONE was found
Today a soul of SOMEONE was saved
Today a soul of SOMEONE was sold
Today SOMEONE has changed
Today SOMEONE remained the same
Today SOMEONE got hurt
Today SOMEONE fell in love
Today, Today, Today
SOMEONE
The list goes on
the good, the bad and the ugly
There's a SOMEONE for everything
Just read the statistics
SOMEONE ....
Well cheers to SOMEONE today, for better tomorrows
and becoming SOMEONE good!
be humble, thoughtful and grateful

TwIsTeR....... MIND-GAMES
RobbieG Sep 2021
Subconscious spinning wheel dictating the various nerves
to be hit

As you take orders without any doubt causing actions to happen

Physically all over the matt being stretched in different directions

Until finally your mental decisions have your body spent

You hit rock bottom, falling all over yourself and the many colors

17 years old
he was still
a kid

Raised by the streets
his mom worked 3 jobs
to barely make ends meet

No male role-model
for him to look up to
if only he did

17 years old
the court said
he was a man

One bad decision
he will now live with
for the rest of his:

Spring mind
Summer soul
Fall heart
Winter eyes

My visions appear cold
as feelings change colors
and start to fall apart
becoming bare...

My soul attempts to nurture the darkness, with warmth, feeding needed hope...

My mind a constant source of new life as it decides between the cold and warmth...

I quit blaming my eyes for I know in my heart it's my mind that makes these visions come to life

I'm scarred internally
innocent sights dissolve
against the wind of insecurities I bare

I quit blaming my eyes for I know they are just windows to the world outside, a place I create mentally

I'm scared internally
innocent thoughts dissolve
against the wind of past trauma I bare

Process Free
RobbieG Sep 2021
The highest probability of getting the outcome desired is following the process

Or so they say in every morning sales meeting before we get started

I listen and take their advice with a grain of salt knowing my closing percent

In an industry where 1 in 10 conversion is considered extremely good

I average 1 deal for every 5 customers I speak to, with above average grosses

I don't sell cars or follow a script based process like a computer programmed robot

I connect with my customers by building from a foundation of common ground

I don't sell cars but rather sell emotions, once the bond is made the sale follows shortly after  

My boss reminds me regularly I defy gravity and  break all rules but he enjoys the profit

He reminds me hard work will always outshine raw talent but I know what he's doing

He's merely trying to sell me on working harder knowing we both would benefit larger

I remind him I dont do this job because I have to but rather because I'm a people person

99'/, of sales is a transfer of enthusiasm and energy so I cannot fake it or pretend

When you invest that much effort into your work it requires a lot more energy
than a robot

Overcome the Odds
RobbieG Sep 2021
I hate statistics
because I have
defied all odds

Raised by a
single mom
no father

She had me
at the age
of only 16

Many step-dads
in and out
bad influences

3 more siblings
3 different dads
I was the oldest

Mom abused drugs
before finally
growing up

2 failed marriages
then finally
settled down

To the dad
of my youngest
two siblings

He was a wreck
alcohol abuser
bad tempered

Abusive to mom
and us kids
mentally unstable

9 different
public schools
total before 8th grade

I got good
at making new friends
out of necessity

Home was Hell
the devil my
step-dad

Subject to every
type of abuse
known to mankind

High-school dropout
teenage pregnancy
emancipated age 17

Finally free from
an unstable and
undesirable environment

I hate statistics
because I have
defied all odds

I've never hit a woman
I'm not dead from an
overdose or suicide

I battled my demons
with alcohol but never
led to doing drugs

I have remained
a good father
to my son

I've held a job
and always
have worked hard

Sure I have
my flaws
but dont we all

I've learned
about mental health
and how to grow

A lesson I wish
our schools
promoted more

I got my GED
I have a great
paying job

Statistics are just
very misleading sometimes
our hearts and minds

Can overcome all math
If we can realize
not all things are our fault
