Off My ChestA Poem by Selagiv
I remember days when I lived any way the wind swayed
Mom's use to say, Giovanni keep God first even if the heat paid Never was a cheapskate but use to rock the cheap skates Pine Island bike race, jeans straight, band tee With the key chain. I never see straight walking alone through faith I show up to the gate, though I may be late Usually late, wonder why my tray filled plates Only disappear once my eyes see hate Once my eyes seen hate as a child It took a while, to relate, my mix traits Half Rico half Colombiano, No espanol Third generation grengo, trying to go slow But society expects us to grow without a soul and school speak foul about the clouds When it's mouth yells every day out loud to do unto him proud. People think the dark has no sound It's grounds are endless, believe me it's emptiness fills up quick, hot air surrounds Shriveling lungs take in, making, your trip Easier to not cringe, He grins the closer I get The accomplish push force to my back syringe Numbing my course to heavens door, of course my words course through veins on course never cross lanes Bullets blaze through plains, like a good beat without waves People need to cease ways cause making him was my only chance To impress God, enough with the confess He knows a bluff from the rest, Stop the meddling test Maybe a fake nod, I hope my blood line can show face to the world While decompers beneath hide, and I might be over top, to his side Crying whenever my son lies, but I can't lie I use to rant the same, and sometimes in this game of life, it can force you to never take stance Personally fine, but no angel, a bullet in the safe if I can't handle This stress the world puts on me, an ordinary stranger contest Living a mediocre life the best, with useless spending and never saving, bank caving wallet shaving always fading into the faded, emotions constipated, the opposite keep on saying that she love me but deep inside she would rather be leaving I'm sorry things got to that point, dont know if it was me Or a lack of the head face coin, she made her point That's why I put every cell into my lines, in hope one day The stories I tell keep me out hell so maybe one day we can rejoin, foreshadowing can't you tell © 2014 Selagiv |
