i been thinking about this life shit
and what it really means
but while i think
i steady accomplish nothing

the only thing i realized
its a riddle with no answer
like no batman to combat
the criminal, that’s cancer.

we grow this tree of memories
exponentially expanding.
with no mind to look around
at someone else’s forest.

but if i was Gump,
this forest would be running
not away, but towards something
i could use to take your blinders off.

turn your head and cough
physical reality check.
get your head up out those cumulus
and take the next left.

a right turn’s not a promise
for success. its been
test-ed, chill.
failure’s just the first step.

you take on a path
abstract goal in your mind.
but you’ll come to find
it ain’t what you conceptualized

i try hard
not to take my own life.
guess it’s working
still wake up after i sleep at night.

[Break]

soul disconnected from my body
as a teen.
they put it back
told me, put up with the suffering.

life isn’t always sunshine
but its always beautiful.
when the rain comes
it nourishes the ground.

i think that means
adversity builds character
a foundation to stand on
in returning times of stormy weather.

but whether or not
you walk is up to you.
so you choose, compromise,
and see your ambitions through.

ill be waiting at the end
like what it do.
arms held open
so i can embrace you.

its real hard
to keep waking up everyday
you should pat yourself on the back
celebrate ‘cause you kept true.

even if you didn’t,
i still forgive you.
every life is precious to me
even those i never knew.

even though i couldn’t do
what i planed, I’m staying cool
the future is tomorrow
so today i’ll stay and love you.

‘cause i think
you ain’t loving yourself.
i got two hands that can help
and a shoulder made for crying on.

you’re my family,
for you i’d make any journey.
just to see you smile
but i’ll be there when you frown too.
