To Start, To Stop


I know the starting and stopping drill

Oh, I know it all too well 

One day you're driven 

The next you're in a spell

 

Oh, could it be no destiny 

Or maybe no real zeal 

Could talking remove you're eye on the prize 

It seems to me there is no denying 

 

I know the starting and stopping drill

Oh, I know it all too well 

To Start, To Stop 

Who cares the lot

It will never end well

<p>Also come check my page out, it's starting to grow but soon maybe I can get it big. I just posted about you can tell others to check you out, I'm give back to those who commented on my stuff by bringing others. I just there was a better way to adiversite your stuff so other would see you, so that's one of the other things I'm trying to do. Also, it's like a feeding ground for others to get ideas and become better or even just to lash out by talking to others. Soon I hope there are poeple to comment and share &nbsp;so others come and talk to bounce ideas off of each others. Let others know if they want to check it out too.&nbsp;</p><p>https://www.facebook.com/MafiThePoet</p>

<p>I kinda know this too well, It's never good to start and stop cause it will never get finished. I do these with my poems, I work on them and the next I'm doing something us and months go by; only now for me to finish it.&nbsp;</p>
