I was told to speak my mind,
Or forever hold my peace.
But if I should speak,
Pardon me if I sound so bleak.
When my pen leaks,
Only the blank pages,
Feel every stroke of my pains ink;
I'm hollow and empty inside.
I try to fully fill the blank papers on each page.
How do I purge this feeling,
Of being unfulfilled in my life?
Tell me later, right now feel my rage.
Have you met her yet?
Destiny:
To me, it has nothing to do with what,
Or who I'm meant to be.
Destiny is what you choose to be;
When time takes its' toll on you.
I told myself if I should speak,
Then it's all on you.
Life is a gamble.
Think twice,
Like rolling two dice.
& don't let your hands fumble.
If I should speak, only silence would understand my lingo.
It’s like music
Universal...
But for the record, I'm broken,
& sound like a broken record.
When will i make history?
Forever, I will be a mystery unsolved..
I'm so old, my soul says; but my body will be young forever, even at old age.
See what I'm saying: The reflection's in the mirror.
Unfortunately, all you see is a mirage..
Will you hear what I'm doing if I should speak?
I'm no apostle, but my acts are louder than my speech.
If I should speak,
I hope my vocal cords won't fail me.
I'm lost for words, but I hope you find this message..
Reply when you get it!
Don't misinterpret it.
Trying to bask in the moment like Basquiat
Some things are better left unsaid... paint!
So i try holding my peace forever,
Even though I can't get a grip.
They tell me I got no taste with this poetry;
Little do they know, my life's a book of novelty.
Woe to these numbered words if i should speak!
Enough said.
I've said enough; never know when to stop.
So every ending signals a new beginning..
Bringing the horizon every evening:
I beseech forever to bind this for eternity
Let this be my timeless speech
IF I SHOULD SPEAK.
