Title:Voices..........
Wrapped up and sealed in the multiple corners of my mind,
so quiet and draining,
cause of the imaginations of different kinds.
My imagination is so real that I feel as if the world is empty.
I'm floating in the blank space of my mind,
a hollow pit that's undefined.
My head is short of words and my mind is full of thoughts.
I listened to the endless noise...
I felt that break between rising and falling...
I saw how life could be frustrating without a purpose...
I now know the pain of having a cracked wall...
So many messages that haven't been read,
diverse thoughts that have no end, lined-up needs that haven't been met, and countless promises that need to be kept.
This is how critical my life is!
So I just decided to sit in the lobby of my failure,
listening to the voices that tend to be major,
voices that say
"He will never make it, we're quite sure"!
Hearing the echo of words that mocked the success out of me and the enchantment of words from the wicked that made me flee.
I'm so void yet I hear voices,
voices telling me to start giving up due to the vices,
but what's there to give up on when already,
this creature is a living crisis...
Trying to avoid the violence of the streets, "Baby boy, never let survival break you", my dad said to me! Keep going, the violence surely kills, but at least you'll have a story to tell later in life as you live. You see, don't live like me, don't live on relying on others and your pleads, you have a God, just go down on your knees, read the Word, bow your head, and then you will see, you will see, and know that "the race isn't for the strong nor the swift, but of God that shows mercy".
