Random Poem #1

Location

Though you see me as the one with personality so strong

I feel as if I've misguided and told you wrong

Aspirations and dreams have constantly filled my head

And though I get weary I won't tap out until my last breath

I see people living for things of no real value

Instead of love and happiness which constantly runs true

The poetry is not only an ode to myself but also you

As a reminder of what to live for in these brutal days

Because the real things unmask the dishonestly in the game we play

That person may be showered in riches and gold

But void of true love and with no one to grow old

The person with less usually has more

And the person with the riches is usually poor

Poor in family which is covered by fat checks and fake smiles that wrap up into their hex

Usually we try to go after happiness in all the wrong places

And end up lost in deep and dark spaces

What do I live for? 

Is that what you ask?

I live not for the riches, cars, and camera flash

Nor fame and popularity which comes to pass

I live for life-long success and family, you know it

I don't live for the dream

I live for the moment
