Life's References

Felt like bringing in some of the influences in my life to one piece of paper.

Training my way to the top

Gotta catch them all

Like a teenage phantom

Ghosts haunting me, in and out

All about

Like the rays of the red sun

A mere alien in his own world

I live within the darkness

A mere shadow due to the

Eternum Nocturne

of my own mind

Conflicting me as a child

To bring about the tears

of when it rains

A process of equivalent exchange

Where I trade in my sadness

For an equal mass of frustration

I exorcise the demons out of my soul

With the blue flames of passion

The burning bachatero

Pidiendo que me rechacen

As I discover the relationship

Of a sound mind and body from a sound soul

The madness in my eyes

Merely reflects

The gaze that will pierce the heavens

As time goes by

But it will not be so

As I retain a link to the past

So I zoom ahead,

living and learning

Yearning to discover the way

A mere warrior of life

Can gain the crest for promotion

Into a new level

And so I continue

Hopping the platforms

And busting through the obstacles

In my path

With nothing but sharpened words

And loaded stanzas

Ready to enter the battlefield

Of my struggles

And come out a Champion
