The lock on this door is none but the one loch placed there the one hung by his own hand where I hang out  the window, smoking A ribbon of rancid choking like a white flag rising rising SOLEMN blown away by the wind like the poems I whisper between bars walking between worlds falling through cracks another mortal frame of life arms dangling, beautiful above red clay bricks drunk with sunlight arcing toward the horizon with no end in sight just another sentence just another prisoner of many lives. by pmb 2024

The demands keep coming from up high  Nothing is given back  in return  Trying to do more with less  No wonder why we are so stressed  Punch out for the day and go home  Now I'm stretched out on my bed  Shuffling through many thoughts in my head  Trying to find out how to get more bread  So I can make my way towards stability  Plant my flag and celebrate future success  Tired of sitting still like a rock  Staying stationary kills potential  I'm chasing after fulfilment  And  haven't found it yet , feels like I'm playing hide and seek  I've never been good at catching a running target  Dodging fear and seeking growth  Trying to keep the hunger alive  And avoid being provoked   When I get my shot I won't choke  I've waited too long to go to the back of the line  Just having the thought that you want to do better is a sign that you can do better  I see the vision no matter who else is blind to it 

Quit using your insecurities as a blanket  Getting wrapped up in  your mind  You keep embracing the idea that something is going on  Why do you treat the truth like a fable ? I cannot tell a lie I'm honest Abe  Obviously the message isn't linking to your brain  I have zero appetite for drama  My presence can cause a thunder  storm to hush  Don't jump into conclusions  The true  conflict is within yourself  Allow yourself time to resolve that
