Live it to Spend it.

Live it to Spend it.

A Poem by D. Nelson
"

i don't know how to describe it. users' manual to my existence.

"

Don’t let yourself run from the things you find,
gettin’ you down in your’ time of need
just remember no life is one of a kind,
still leave it payin’ no mind.
Keep it cool,
see what you please.
Never try to stand when you’re still on your’ knees.
Just keep in mind,
that if you all got the same love to give,
you’re lost in your life and your stress,
and you never have anyone give it all to,
then you turn off the high beams and love a little less.
cause’ this s**t I write is probably about you.

Now here we are,
in my house,
tryin’ to find our way to the bedroom,
in the lack of light,
And the way you see it,
it all seems so black and white,
so plain and trite.
Maybe it wouldn’t if you had some rational insight.
Try to flip the switch and turn on your’ light.
But the way you are,
it all looks so stark.
So hurry up, girl,
and make your mark.

Now live your life,
don’t get lost in the strife.
Think of what you could have wept for,
and then after you wont ask what the hell you left for.
Now once upon a time,
your’ soul was never under what it finds.
Wandering around the world,
attempting to become with souls of the men,
and the women,
in this place which you once came in.
Now how you gonna lament to the point of its own extent,
until it stops,
backs off and revises it’s cruel fate intent.
And when you recognize the urgency,
time impending,
clock tick tock,
don’t call an emergency.
Through the dark haze of the night,
I come on a black horse of the right,

it taught me my will to fight or flight,
rhythm of it’s hooves gather most of how I write.
And the rhythm is my insight.
Cant tell you how to live your life.
Cant tell you how to end your life.
Gotta find your own path down to the end,
and push your’ will and keep it tight.
Gather up your soul in the sunlight.
And put it down in the end.
roll to the only time you live to spend.
