Life

-
I am warm in a borrowed jacket
The sky is blue and grey.
I’m lost, on borrowed time
Life is pushing me in an unknown way.

I’m spending my borrowed money
to buy lost time today
I laugh at borrowed sympathy
I must be the only one with nothing left to say.


I scoff at this borrowed life
I did not need it, I prayed.
But somehow I kept on living
It was the price I had to pay.

So if everything was wrong and nothing was right
Would I be the one weeping at my own plight?
Would I be the one losing my will ,no hope in sight?
Would I lay down without giving a fight?


I would, I would, I said.
Look at me for I am old ,
These borrowed ideas and a restless soul
Leave if you must pay back if you could
But do not whine and complain,
well maybe I’m just misunderstood.

I’m jaded ,perpetually in cerebral motion
Lost with my thoughts they calm me in commotion.
Lost in trouble lost in joy forever and ever, where do I go?

Reborn

The brightest star burns so fast , The years that came and went did not last . Struggling with these passing years coming to grips with the reality of age, I am nothing more than ordinary, No rockstar on a stage.  The purpose of life is all I've got, at my own cost my Self worth I forgot. Not much to live for ,existence is a chore, Why do I not want anything anymore? Brighten the gray day, sprinkle some sun , Everyday is an end to a fake day that has just begun. Oh beautiful bird in the sky,  Take me on your back ,so I may fly so high , To be born again one has to die.

  Do not live in fear, my dear The end is far, but the present is here Be clear and sincere always persevere With truth on your side, Let that anxiety and worry slowly disappear And on the days the distress is so severe -Hold this poem, so very near Regain your strength, and let it reappear Do not live in fear, my dear Do not live in fear

AN AUDIENCE OF ONE

-
An audience of one is what I seek, Into my soul I need to peek. Self reflection into a seemingly clean room , The rain washed sickness and an impending sense of doom. Shallow desires ,lust and greed, Is that What we always want or ever need? Confess to yourself as you look at yourself in the mirror , jump into those eyes and what do you see, You loved her yes but did you truly ? You loved her yes but did you so casually ? The growth of a man through heartbreak and pain , The universe brought you back to this juncture again. Close your eyes and take a deep breath , rid your soul of the poison, Let the anger die its death. The emotional roller coaster is quite the show, it’s for you to experience and not let anyone know, It’s for you to learn and understand , now ,where do you go?  Time is a friend , an enemy to the end  its time to face reality and end the show.
