The Journey

The Journey

Where do we go from here

how do we overcome our greatest fear

faced with new challenges everyday

constantly looking for the right words to say

feeling like you got your back against the wall

well before you learn how to walk you gotta crawl

getting to the top is not an easy process

and yes this journey will be filled with a lot of stress

but don’t rush just take some time to reflect

and good values and morals please do not neglect

looking at the top from down below

realizing how much room you have to grow

that’s when success is not too far away

and each time you wake up it seems to be a brighter day

the transition from rags to riches

the change from broken smiles to joyful pictures

it all happens so fast

and it doesn’t take too long for our future to become our past

so give your all each and every day

and before you know it work will become play

Rewind and Think

Rewind and think

People say you don’t have a heart

now rewind that thought back to the start

is it possible to live without breathing

is wanting something the same as needing

I don’t think that’s how the story goes

and we all would like to hear something that nobody knows

is such a thing possible

or am I being completely illogical

if I said yes you’d probably think I’m crazy

others would think I’m tryna be like Jay-Z

but I’m just tryna bring about some thought

and into this web of comparisons we all eventually do get caught

who has the right answers will always be debated

and we say that racism is dead but we will always be separated

walking through a tunnel where you see no light

hoping and praying that everything will be alright

we have to hold on to the hope we have even if its small

because giving that up is when everything will start to fall

no one can say you don’t have a heart

and if you don’t agree then you are far from smart

we each have the freedom in life to choose what it is we want to do 

and also the freedom to believe and accept what we think is true

so i’ll leave the rest up to you...

These Thoughts of Mine

These thoughts of mine

All of these thoughts going through my mind

is there a solution to all our problems we can find

all I see is trouble and issues

people running to find the nearest box of tissues

why do the rich seem sadder than the poor

maybe its because all they think about is money and how to make more

our emotions keep changing like the seasons

not stopping for anyone or for any reasons

at times I feel so confused

I just can’t fathom why so many people are abused

people are dying everyday

everyone fighting for survival tryna find their way

so many people feeling so much pain

negativity coming down us like sheets of rain

through all of this though we hope and pray

that change will come our way some day

The Blankness

The Blankness

Before I started to write

the page was blank and the page was white

my thoughts ready to flow onto the canvas like a piece of art

but its not just pen and paper its emotions expressed from the heart

close in relation but yet so far apart

can these dreams of mine become a reality

or are these farfetched thoughts leading me to a fatality

only time will tell I guess

like a man on his knees praying his lady will say yes

or the young boy playing his best so the coach he will impress

crazy that we’ve come so far and still have a way to go

planting our seeds, watering them, and watching them grow

remembering the process wasn’t fast but slow

but eventually the seeds become flowers

and the reward is great and well worth the hard-working hours

an all important page of your life is now completed

but now is not the time to become conceited

because that is when pride will come along and you will be defeated

its time to pick up the pen and start to write again

time to help others who are going through a lot of pain

this page even bigger than the last

a chance to change many a person’s painful past

a chance to be the star in the movie “life” being a part of the all important cast

and no the story does not end there

and yes I still have a lot more to share

but its time for me to refill the pen with some more ink

time for you to decide whether you gonna let this ship sink

or turn it all around, share this story, and start to make others think
