Brand New

I'm flawed like the hero I'm learning to be
Whatever this world really wants from me
I can't be who I am without bending the rules
Whether it's doing things differently kick it new school
I don't want the old guard I wanna be new age
Be fresh like the book you opened to a new page
I've got some experience some tough some good
I haven't really responded like I thought I would
It doesn't mean I can't do it just gotta be a trend setter
The goal the dream is always to get better
I'm not a psychic I can't read between the lines
All in my heart I just wanna go for mine
I'm not sure how I'll get there but damn i will get there
Just as sure as I can count all my little gray hairs
Lets make it brand new like the sun in the sky
For me its a day there's no reason to cry

Confident speak to a lady...

It's not expected to respect an obvious love
It'll take the peace of two like two doves
Am I interested maybe but no more drama
Don't worry not planning to run to momma
My heart is not here to go through more tension
It's here to expand this to a brand new dimension
Concentrate on us what we got the potential is there
I say that as I run my fingers through your hair
In living you learn to love the life you live
In time I've learned I've got to forgive
It isn't hard to see that you and I match
Baby girl you know you're nothing but a catch
Infact I'm thinking you roll this way
I've got a couple of things I'd like to say
Like lets get together and make this work
Like the great ones u beam me up like Capt. Kirk
Not joking true story at the end of these words
I want you to appreciate the con and subtext of these verbs
In so many words lets be who we'll be
When it comes down to it its just you and me

Leaving

You told me to be the person that changed it all
Didn't feel that way when you forgot to call
You told me lies more than I thought I could take
If its so real then why does it feel so fake
I didn't come here to argue I'm getting my clothes
The situation hurts me more than it shows
I just wanna go get my bearings find common ground
Right now I'm feeling I can't have you around
When they said love hurts they sure weren't lying
Well to be quite honest it wasn't for a lack of trying
Maybe we should both think of what went wrong
Or maybe we shouldnt've been together all along
I'm just thinking just pondering taking the space
Trying to remove the frown from my face
I just wanna leave damn let me go
Will I come back I can't say that I know

Great Expectations

Ever hear a story about the human race
Going out to every person and every face
There once was a girl who expected the best
From her boyfriend and said she expected nothing less
Two days later he cheated on her
Those great expectations not so great yes sir
What about the man who wanted a raise
He expected some fruits from those labor days
Two hours later he was fired
Great expectations didn't take him higher
What do I expect from this world not sure quite yet
Taking it day by day is the best bet
We should expect the best from ourselves and others
But maybe a little more in our sisters and brothers
Cause despite our rise society is still flawed
The cold nature in some people hasn't thawed
So you continue to do the best that you can
To be the best woman to be the best man
One last story I wanted to tell
About the man who was poised to yell
Because he needed to find a better way
To say the words he needed to say
She hushed him before he could say a word
She calmed him before this that or the third
And said the words I love you very much
With that he was healed by her touch
This man didn't have many expectations
He didn't succeed in many situations
But he had this woman who saved his life
This woman would turn out to be his wife
What I expect can't say I'm to sure
But I try to expect what's best and what's pure
The moral of the story you ask me
Is expected the unexpected and more be free

From Broken to Whole

If asked how I survived a broken heart
I'd turn and say you don't at the start
You get broken down piece by piece
You're looking for any type of peace
I've seen it all in my 23 years
I've fought it all when it comes to fears
I'm not special not super so this applies to all
Whether its summer winter spring or fall
When you lose what you think is everything
Remember what's there when you're thinking
If someone has the ability to take you down
There is no need to have them around
If someone can turn you from happy to sad
Then all in all they're no good they are that bad
I remember the days I used to blame myself
Those days put me in such bad health
Until I understood that you can get stronger
Until I realized you could last a little longer
I'm not the poster boy for tough talking
When something happens I just keep walking
I've been broken before but I've learned to survive
I've learned that you do what you must to be alive
Hopefully you and I could share in this lesson
And maybe that pain you have or had could lessen
Just call it chicken soup for the soul
Only you can turn it from broken to whole

Live for....

I live for the moments I can catch my breath
I live for the second I can turn to the left
What I know is I live for a day I can breathe
For once I can live knowing I can believe
In you in me in the days that we see
Living for a future that wasn't quite there
Now I see this happiness everywhere
Live for a setting where its not so regretting
Is there anything to live for that I am forgetting
It's unwarranted untold if I may be so bold
That live for a hot day like you live for the cold
The point is to live till you stop for good
Live this life like you thought you would
Any day is your day as every day is our day
My life is good living doesn't matter all in all
Live for this life summer spring winter fall

Man over mind

The quote was said be the man be the truth
The line goes as if there doesn't need to be proof
What's my story just called me the flawed hero
Who at times might think that he's worth close to zero
What makes a man change his stone cold ways
What makes a man happy for the rest of his days
The truth sets one free and free I shall be
As close to the story that you soon shall see
Great expectations to be the man be the mountain
Not sure if you'll find me drinking from that fountain
Of fear of doubt the things that can destroy
Every hopeful girl and every hopeful boy
In my years I've learned that salvation is in self
In my tears I've learned to control my health
Be willing yet to stay strong through the fire
Be patient keep that burning desire
To be as good I can for the rest of time
Ever so hopeful I do think that's the last line

Go time

Give me the go signal wanna make it last
Forget about the scenario from days passed
It's about you and me where we are what we need
You want a man to take you just follow my lead
If asked the question I'll give you an answer then some
The first kiss on the forehead tells it you it has begun
Let me know what's in your heart or head baby girl
Want to give you that heaven wanna rock your world
The spoken word tells you that this love is for real
Slide right next to me then you can know how I feel
In life its the decision to act fast like the flash
Forget about going out trying to spend this cash
Tonight is you and I you and I goin eye to eye
Truth be told I'm gonna make you fly

Without regret

In forgetting tomorrow we remember today
If asked I can't explain why I feel this way
Am I wrong for trying to be the best man
Do I bring on hatred in the worst that I can
I won't ask for forgiveness I'm guilty of nothing
What we're guilty of is turning nothing into something
I don't regret the action I regret the result
Is the saying that has us all in a cult
I'm not sorry for the time I said true words
I'm not regretful for the kiss on 133rd
The experts ourselves claim we are who we are
Well believe it or not then we'll never get very far
The story has been told time and time again
The end is the same my confused old friend
Whether a breakup a fight and the choices we make
Those are the chances we're compelled to take
Overall I don't cry I don't lie I can't tell
If we'll be led to heaven or be led to hell
With these things we truly can never be set
I'd rather live this life in confidence no regrets

The Expertise of saying goodbye

It isn't personal I just don't care anymore
It isn't about hate lets not make this sore
I've given all I got to try and appease
If you think of the same then I just say please
The truth is we're only as good as the last day
It's not that complicated to feel this way
The bottom line is lets let this go
The friendship was nice but what's there to show
How much must I ask or call out for you guys
I seemed to be the only person that tries
Now detached and trying to live as I can
Only concerned with trying to be the best man
If not said through my words than said through my actions
We're not the same not the same old faction
Again if it was hate than there'd be beef
Right now honestly what I feel is relief
Thanks for your time I appreciate it for real
But im just sayin good bye that's how I feel

The Ultimate Sacrifice

To commit to this life means I must cut down
It means that I sacrifice all around
My dearly possesions to advance the plan
In order to become the best that I can
Will take will and grit like never before
Will it take me out or will it make me want more
The love I have for life is higher than high
The choices I have sometimes make me cry
The reason for tears is I know the answer
The thought of doubt does spread like cancer
Though I know I must be strong be ready be steady
I have to prove to myself and the world that I'm ready
For what I want not what I need what I want to be
Is to be the best person that you can see
In order to do that some things must go
Maybe one thing I'll keep for that I'll say no
For the love for the life for the days I need
This advice I give to myself I must take heed
Sacrifice it all for now is the ideal
For my future will be made that much more real

Quote the stonecutter

Remember that line the stonecutter said
I do and to my recollection this is how it read
It isn't about the last hit the chisel makes
It's the ones before it that has what it takes
To break the hold to break the line
Like anything else just take your time
The patience of few can give us a plan
To save every woman save every man
If asked I quote this little fable
Make sure to not leave the quote on the table
Use it apply I know that I need it
Sometimes we gotta live it eat it and breathe it
In all of our truth we don't wanna try
We're afraid we'll be left to cry
Maybe that's the only way we'll learn
That in life sometimes we just have to burn
Quote the stonecutter the brave boy said
These things I'll follow as I read

Give me

Give me style give me grace with the passion of the greatest
I need to be the man of not before but be of the latest
Give me that strength to deal with what's wrong
I want to be that solution looked for all along
Give me that love that I've been searching for
If I got it once I just might need some more
Give me a second to show you my skills
If told the truth it aint just by sheer will
Give me the faith to stay true blue like the sky
Wanna be like the birds I believe I can fly
Give me ability to rule from a position of power
Can I have this done please by the hour
Give me a thought to be the best that I can
Not talkin a wedding but still wanna be the best man

Love spoken by me

It's the chase I made four months ago
It's the time I spent purging my soul
The things I'll write and say to you
When I fight all my lies to be this true
It's the moment I told you how I felt
It's about that kiss that made me melt
It's the difference of opinion that we share
It's the day that I realized how much you care
If reminded I go back about two years
When you were the sum of all my fears
How I tried and I tried with no chance left
I wanted your heart to be my next theft
Effortless no it took my all my being
It was something special in you I was seeing
If asked whether I would chase you again
The answer without a doubt is yes my friend
These days so fast as they go by
Is it love I suppose that's the reason why
It's the tears that never come it's the pain that's gone
I've known it was you all along
In the end does it matter how the story was told
In the climax I'll kiss you if I may be so bold
To be truthful to heart to be honest to light
As was said to you on a bench on that cool night
I love you and that's all I must say
I love you and that's what was spoken today

I write this for people who need it

We can believe in love and the power it gives
What we need is our hearts for us to live
Believe in the moment you respect yourself
I swear don't leave that thought on the shelf
In order to trust it do what it takes at all costs
On the real there'll be more than just a net loss
If you can't believe in what you do or what you say
You tend to lose hope from people that way
Remember the story needs a little flavor
So in life's journey we must remember to savor
The good moments the harsh the ones we hate
We'll learn to forgive and forget at any rate
I have a problem too and I need a new slogan
To continue this bond in hope it won't be broken
Here you me say be as real as you can
Whether you're woman or you are man
The choice is yours be what you must
In God I believe in God I trust
To correct my error to change the game
Continue to support and believe in your name

The Story I never told

If I could ask for some privacy that's right I mean you
Today isn't the day o yes it's true
Don't need the third degree and thousands of questions
How many people will ask are you alright in sucession
No rudeness at all how about just stay out
Only one I would talk to is my lady so don't shout
So apparently I talk a little to much
Didn't know some people felt as such
So as was said yeah i said silence is here
So as far as me speaking you have nothing to fear
When it comes to today I have nothing to say
Don't ask me why I feel that way
If I had a choice I'd just write it down
It would probably avoid a major frown
This story I never told will have its say
I just don't wanna talk about it today

Introduction

As goes the man who must find his way
He hopefully starts this journey today
With the spirt of many he rides the wave
The obsession of life that he's trying to save
In ways he needs the drama he brings
In times he doesn't know what he's thinking
To tell the truth to state the fact
He needs to keep his state intact
Forgive the fact that he still needs time
To avoid committing any further crimes
With will with strength he shall overcome
In all reality the story has just begun

Welcome all, I'll be posting poems and thoughts on this blog, I hope you enjoy.
