Poetic Life Lines

Every thought I have has always been concealed Confined to my pens rhymes as I strive to keep it real When my pen hits paper, all bets are off Allowing me to walk the tightrope of my thoughts So I open my heart to say something more than a love show Don’t believe the lies that people tell you Be dedicated to the progression of every move Because all things have got to improve Even though nothing feels the same And the ones who don’t know the tales of my heart think I’ve changed The honesty within me leaves me vulnerable to exchange So it gets too easy to hide and replay Re-plan and remake But then God speaks to me and says do only what I say Touch the lives of all those who don’t think they have a way So I show every color of my pain So that maybe it's all endurable at the end of their day Cool rhymes and crafted word play Look me in my eyes and see where my story lies Does it hold value or can it be compromised? I ask myself this every time I write a line See sometimes we wear masks according to where our story lies But stories lie And we’re merely a coward behind a façade So find yourself before anybody else can Before youre convicted as a lost act So I thank you poetry for my life back And a needed life line For this oh so twisted life of mine
