[137]
When you seek to send a message
Don’t get stuck on punctuation

When you find right passage
Do not walk the wrong direction

Day was tough
Took my lunch break early
‘Cause hahuhahu
I’s breathing rough
Pay can fetter you as well as any cuff

Give them six sides
They will put you in a box and
Give a few nails
They’ll assure it is your coffin

[jfromthedarkweb]
I’ll stay awake
Won’t stay in my lane
I’ll stay awake
Won’t stay in my lane

[137]
Do beware
Be aware of all the prisons you’ll encounter
With a more slack dress code
You can try to flee
But the monsters in your closet
Always have a way of finding your zip code

We all do worship something
There are no atheists
Difference is found in our pantheons
We elect or accept our gods and masters
Souls are defined by their choice
And conviction, with which they serve

My plate is never empty
Hot, issues always freshly served

Path is narrow
If I live, I live a hero
If I die, I won’t be here to mind

When you say, “I do,” at altar
You become the sacrifice

[jfromthedarkweb]
I’ll stay awake
Won’t stay in my lane
I’ll stay awake
Won’t stay in my lane
[137]
Clear looks the same
For the near and farsighted
Death comes with equal vigor
For the fool and sage

Demons whisper in my ear
“Marinate in vices”
At every crises
But I won’t fall into their cage

Must be confronted
Shadow is only addressed
When a light is shined on it

Gaining power
By the relinquishment
Of what I have no power over

Steadfastness
Is a flavor favored strongly by my
Nom, nom, palate

Passion is a color
I take pride in
On my painter’s palette
[137 and jfromthedarkweb]
Brilliance (I’ll stay awake)
Does work to evince
Depth of darkness

See in life’s presence (Won’t stay in my lane)
Our impermanence
I’m in future carcass

Oven’s temp (I’ll stay awake)
Makes ingredients
Reach their full potential

Failures
I contemplate
And celebrate

They don’t know
That my failure
Has taught me more
Than my success
When I fall from nest
I learn to soar
