Definition


hmm , how can I start this odyssey off , try & make yu understand how my mind reels

but try & deliver this dilemma to yu without revealin that my thoughts are explosive like a mine field .

I need ma spine healed 

tha backbone of a cerebral foundation struck with erosion by ghostly thoughts if only I could find REAL . "they" say time heals

but who are "they" ta say what ma furture holds & tha chances ta take , thass a blind deal . it gves ma mind chills 
ta think outta tha boxx when so many are yet caged up in confined steel .

yet ma faith remains in mankind still ,

in hopes that one day this race cuhd be the epitome of greatness , be the ones to

DEFINE REAL . maybe

tha stars will realign til , its tha right time ta reveal who's truly tha masterminds of the intertwined divine colorblind thrill . 
In retrospect sumtimes I shake loose ma skin , a deprived seal , ta wipe away internal scars,

& meet her . 

A girl untouched by wayward woes & I swear , in yesteryear's today I used to be her . I used to need her .
But why subject a person to a world where joy is fleeting ,

where "they" only want to conquer her mind , belittle & demean her . 
Audacity levels are flyin off the me-ter .
I survive only food for thought , i drink intensity , gimme a li-ter . 

The only satisfaction I get is that everyday when i look in the mirror ,

sometimes , I get , to

SEE .. her .

<p>Beautiful piece without a doubt. I had trouble reading some of it because of the spelling though even if it was on purpose just some of them did slow me down. Even then though you portrayed your message very well thank you for submitting and may i ask what inspired you to write this piece?</p>
