Black Poetry : Breakout

[arthur1210]

I can feel it, I'm still growing
Despite the fact I'm grown
Changing my negative reputation
Because it's not carved in stone
I feel people working with me
I no longer feel alone
I am hearing a better rhythm
I am trying to match its tone

I lost my since of direction
I lost my reasons to care
I forgot the world's not perfect
Everything is not always fair
Life kept going on around me
I was completely unaware
I lost many of my closest friends
While drowning in my despair

But now, no more silly reservation
No more self pity, nor self doubt
Working to correct my disposition
And my convictions are devout
My pathway seems to get smoother
As, I walk this alternate route
In my past I created my binds
But, I am going to break out

I will exercise my diligence
Knowing it is my only escape
My diligence will aid digestion
Of the meal loaded on my plate
My diligence makes me stronger
To tote my load, despite its weight
It can lead me away from my devil
And through obstacles he creates

I am finding the greater value
With essential tasks that use to bore
Getting back to better values
That in youth, were instilled in my core
Now that I have found the strength
There is no telling what's in store
I'm reaching for the knob of triumph
And I am ready to open the door

I will make moves with more patience
I will stand on more stable ground
I will strengthen my education
Staying fundamentally sound
My load's no longer growing
Each day I put some of it down
Getting back to the motions
Of this world that keeps spinning round

My diligence will aid digestion
Of the meal loaded on my plate

I'm loving the way your mind has made the necessary adjustments,
in order to be in control of your destiny.

You're a winner!

I'm really struck by your flow, arthur. What a great message of personal power, and dang it's tightly written! I specially dig this part:

I'm reaching for the knob of triumph
And I am ready to open the door


What a great image! Nice to see you back here on the board and in full effect.

The structure and rhymes in this piece flowed ever so smoothly. And the powerful message, that we can always change for the better if we put our minds to it, invaluable. Flow on poet.
