I am a skeleton that's supping time
I savor it afore it dribbles down my femur
The pendulum strangles me, don't report a crime
Same force I use upon its father
Had a picnic at the beach, the sky above was glassy
Poseidon whispered ardent speech, that told me tides are turning
Conclusion wasn't hard to reach, with waves that smelled of destiny
That I was placed in hourglass to preach that grains are churning
Some yearn, purely for a Lambo
Hoping to feel full, when they get behind the wheel
I'm concerned, whether to put the lamb's blood
All around the windowsill or just round
Puertas, de mi hogar
Están mis ojos, incluidos
Mis cejas, podría pintar
Con sangre de mi pluma, yo veo
All the sandcastles they build to feed the tide
Alongside, are shells upon the beach they've sanctified
Drunk upon fruition
Olvidan el esfuerzo sembrado
Por lo tanto, tán agitados
When viewing ascension
There are
Whips, behind drapes
To make the circus run smooth
Dry soulscapes
Wet lips, could never soothe
This is bread without its leaven time
Staff in hand at suppertime
Others see a dead end
Where I perceive a stop sign
Used to want to disappear
Future wasn't looking clear
Wasted effort chasing fear
Worried being too sincere
People pleasing left me bleeding
My old flame wanna have a meeting
Blocked her then I swipe deleted
Shawty was just too conceited
I had to sit down had to ponder
Found some substance now my courage feeling larger
Since I found God all my confidence is stronger
Read Philippians and now I'm stepping harder
Now I never give up
Change whole flow and my fit up
My new bae praying me up
Get my spirit and my rizz up
Feeling love from above
Seeking peace chasing doves
Gratified I give trust
To the Father above
Ok now I am the one
I ain't do this just for fun
I ain't never been a thug
But homie we could get it rough
Now I know that I'm enough
Don't need money or the drugs
Read the scriptures and unplug
Now I know I lack for nothing
I've labored not to not bury my talents
But every day's another challenge
To not let them bury me
Mom conveyed the import of balance
And honey said beware the talons
Of regret when I retrospect
But they both neglect to see
Often when the water's shallow, rope is short
And town is droughty, someone will arise
Who's willing to jump into well with a bucket
For sake of the thirsty
The woes of the human community
Motley with no ready remedy
Fain to identify
Pouty or hungry
My love
Doesn't give me butterflies
Rather hollow bones to fly
She whispers softly in my ear
And I soar high
I don't
Fret about the preordained
Pray to align my will with His
Hope He forbids
That my vigor ever wanes
Spirit showed up on the track
And paid respect, to how
I fall on my face, instead of my back
And told me
"Tie your laces
You were built to push the pace
Of every, sole in the pack
To leave every soul to unpack
What true purpose of running in this race is"
I said, "Goodness gracious
With my asthma, I could never do that
Without heavenly graces"
Though shadows, in the valley, are quite scary
We are called to stay wary, not worried
Sacrificed indulgence, for fulfillment
Gaze on the fruit of investment
Rather be the bellwether
Than on the bandwagon
I keep a belt upon my vigor
And a leash on my dragon
You wonder where my mind has wandered
But would likely shiver if you ever pondered yonder
I jog on trails others meander
