Time Changes Us

Sometimes it seems like, time isn't on my side

I want out of this game of chess

It's never to late in this game of life

Life isn't a game... Life is to be lived

I know I can survive... I know I can make it if I truly give it a try

***

No where in my story says I ever gave up on life

I want to grow old and happy... I want to smile every day

I do my best to be better but it doesn't seem good enough

No one is any better than I... struggles in many situations

Everybody goes through something... Will I ever make it through emptiness

Some days I develop the gift of gab... On those other days I'm silent in distrust

Or silently spoken as if some one on the other side isn't ready to adjust

Are you ready to hear me out? I'm truly sorry if I hurt you

Sometime this cruel world makes it hard to be true

***

I don't follow something dogmatic... I like to think for myself now

I love to follow the divine in me... No ifs ands or buts ... ... ...

Why are we fighting the the old ways... changing my old ways

Change is only good ... ... ... when it makes us a better persona

I'm not trying to be better than anyone

***

I just know I can be greater ... ... ... To be great we have to stand with

I'm not trying to rise above ... ... I want more from this life

I want to be loved as I am; Or possibly as I can be 

I like to think we can if only we try a little harder

Maybe there is a possibility for hope for a center chi

We all can do the right thing; we either do or we don't

***

Families need to unit with understanding... Friends need to be better Friends

Like Brothers and Sisters in arms... Together we stand, Separated we fall

I don't have to expect nothing from you... nothing from the world can be taken 

Without giving; I'm not afraid to ask... I wander around aimlessly; I shouldn't aim for stardom

or else I have not bloomed; as I wonder through the years

***

The peculiar procrastination... The thirties is a mystery 

I may need to be more like the one... in the spirit of peace of mind

All I want is to be happy now... Come closer inside out of changes 

I try to always smile all the time... Life isn't all sunshine and rainbows

Or gifts with ribbons and bows ... ... ...

***

We need time to be the essence of life... without one or the other ...

... Mankind will not survive... Every ending is a new beginning

The world is made of greed... look to the elders for the wisdom

To love the world as one understanding... Some get it;

Some don't really know what they want

Don't ever be afraid to ask for all you need

***

Nine lives have passed and I won't die

Like a ticking time bomb exploding in the sky

Or a stillness inside out of enlightenment

I Embrace the blessings given onto life

Bless the fallen... to uplift soulful nature

The chosen few can't ever be harmed

I can't reach for falling stars anymore

All I can do is keep my feet planted on the ground

Whoever is chosen for me will come in time
