To accept the truth, is to be free of hindering
Break the chains, shatter the ties that keep binding
Grow more than you are, more than you should be, more than you can see yourself being
To be more than yourself, creates the unexpected path, worth taking
I was a stranger, a nobody, to the vision of others, I was merely dust
But for a second of hopelessness, a change, I was seen by eyes filled with compassion and a loving lust
For my grey colors, to be painted with yellow and red, a heart of gold whom repaired an armor corroding with rust
You simply just lent a hand, a hand of kindness, but a million blessings given to a random stranger, you, a Sir, of charitable trust
Still here, but your presence comes unseen
Still here, your essence lingers, only felt by the one’s who are keen
Just gone, but the pain stabs hard, beats me every night, left an aching heart
Just passed, but feels like a million years, that I been missing a beloved part
We all struggle, and we all may fall
We all have moments when we cry, we try not to, but still we do
We all put on brave faces, to mask the pain and erase all traces
We all eventually meet at a path, comprise of a way so wise, a way through the struggles, still we rise
Eternity, does it really exist
In a life of constant turns, death and twists
But reality is that, nothing in life does last forever
Time catches up to everything, that’s just the truth of the matter
​Let the shadow, gracefully dance under the grey lit shade
As I dance in the darkness, magic is made
Too dark, too silent, to bad no one stays in the shadows with me
I make magic, I make art, but no one will ever get to see.
You need a suit, I’ll cover you with the best
Are you tired and sleepy, I’ll make your bed for a comfortable rest
Feeling hungry, craving a delicious meal, I’ll have it ready, served up on a banquet style dinner
My royalty, I shall cater with body and soul, for you I’ll be a sinner
Clinging to the rhythm of an ever changing generation
Once a child, then a teen, now an adult of a speedy transformation
I now move with responsibility, workforce and sound
As an adult, this is an image I must uphold around
I love you, but it hurts
I love you, but I bleed
I love you, but I’m left bruised
I love you, but I’m crying
I love you, and I’m dying
I love you, now I’ve passed away
Through the hall, dress in white, in a moment
The music plays, time stands still, walking pass loved one’s faces
Come face to face with your partner, exclaim the love, an exchange so sentiment
“I Do,” and faces glow with laughter, but one frowns, and the matrimony is over
