Sometimes when shooting for the stars
we miss.
We feel at a disadvantage its too far
to hit.
We tell ourselves we can’t.
Give up and quit.
Meanwhile the stars falling in our backyards
still lit.

Lost in the sounds of our own thoughts
we fought.
Just to give up now because the voice is too loud ?
Meanwhile mute divine. As we caught up in our own lies.
Never find time looking outside for what?

Everything we ever need to be happy’s
inside.
But we’re blind by this filter called
excuse.
Like we’re not safe in our shelter so we run
and hide.
Come time nowhere to go, what am I
to do?

The barricades at heavens stairs prepared
at heavens gate are only there in shade.
Cast down from the weight of the crown
we carry.
Not knowings its a fair price that we have to pay.

So before you act out the things you say,
Think for a second. Somethings you can’t take away.
Never thought time catch up back in the day.
Drank from the fountain of youth. We found in the rain.

Speaking the truths, not something i always do.
I need more practice, so i spill my guts to you.
Speaking to a stone in dark closed room of a tomb.
My backyard star extinguished. I’ll shoot for the moon.


My zig zagged puzzle I’ll carve it to fit.
Turn all my pieces to accommodate your shit.
Twist and contort through every disaster all of these pieces I’m learning to master.
One small breeze… My tattered pieces misalign and scatter. Never to completion.

Trying to get a piece of peace but the pizza
pies always just out of reach.
Reach for skies? Can’t even reach ceilings.
Each of my four corners decreasing
In size.
My walls closing in crushing. Suffering. Losing touch with my soul inside.

Troubling mind wondering what I’ll find.
If I ever decide to confide in anyone again.

I lost love, close family and long friends.
They say still waters run deep but my tide
Is as far as the eye could see.

If still waters deep than my sea has depth.
Til the worlds edge from end to end is a journey not many can comprehend.
