One Line At A Time

Misguided as a youth as I wondered for a truth

Yearned for a simple solution to a greater issue

Feeling as if it where critical to express through

My pencil as I gave color to the darkness within

Trapped forever in this whirl wind of life steppin

With one foot ahead, one day at a time always

On my grind overshadowing the man I left behind

In the dust as I physically rust in the sands of time

yet I spiritually grow more divine with every line

Living as an ancient soul within a young mind

Experiencing the pains that life has handed me by surprise

Opening my eyes as I slowly realize that every

Bit of darkness has some form of light unseen

How I interpret the world around me is for me

Now I give a bit of clarity with my use of poetry

To paint upon the canvas bestowed for me to complete

am I the person you see as the world judges me

or am I what makes me unique that one may cherish

For all eternity never forgetting that what I Created

Can never be recreated or replicated by any lyrically

I am the seed rising from the birth of my past

Grasping the future desperately to reach

A better way from all my past mistakes

My history forever filled with remnants

Of a brotha incoherent to the sways of change

Yet somehow I grow day by day at my own rate

I stand my place because ingrained in my soul

is a message to behold lyrically so I show

on the page consistently forever flowing like

the river of life one word, one line at a time.
