The Hero who left

In grace at a time that couldn't be described
The hero decided to become a scribe
To tell his story as he walked away from it all
No more damsels no more rescue calls
He walked away because the pressure became immense
Even stronger than his feeling that was that intense
He was sad but strong in knowing that it was done
It was time that a new story had begun
I couldn't lie he wrote feeling the tears in his soul
I had lost my way and lost all control
The ideal to have feelings was too much to take
I couldn't lose that part I worked hard to make
So I take the cape off I run from that plan
Become different and normal a regular man
This is the life of the hero that left
Though the people thought he committed a theft

Talk Back

I can't listen to her when she talks back to me like that
It makes me irritated can't keep my thoughts intact
I can't defend myself so I don't I retreat to my shell
There's a reason this sh*t sounds like a hard sell
Always priding myself on being as nice as I can
But how should you feel when a woman disrespects that man
Forget getting physical that's a waste of my time
I need to go to jail just because you get inside my mind
Never that but sometimes it makes me wonder
What can I say that has the type of thunder
To get you to calm down and leave it alone
This anger I feel I sure as hell can't condone
It is that and just that is why I cry
Maybe that will send a message tears in my eyes
Cause nothing else works and with this strength I lack
I just learn to keep quiet and never talk back

From Reflective to Transcendent

I had a past but it's not why I'm here
I have a present and that I don't fear
I used to think what was right and wrong
Honestly I really think I always knew all along
Just chose not to live up to the greatness I am
Chose to stay a boy and not be that man
From limbo to relevance to a star I rise
Best part is there's no tears in my eyes
It's not dramatic it's fantastic like Marvel's Four
It's a lesson and a blessing like never before
I've learned to push harder with the heart of a champ
Knowing that I got the support of my team and my camp
I never advertise that I'm the best but I'm getting damn good
Realizing now that in some ways I always knew I would
I'm not even close to my past anymore I'm independent
Can't wait for the day where my talent is transcendent
