Universal Lawz

What is an open mind,
If you do not allow freedom of thought to happily swim through your ear drums?
Opinions vary in a melting pot of unrest,
As most of us walk wounded.
A chain of pain rooted,
From within our own vicious circles…

“I want to be a singer,
Or a painter!”
“But,
You need to go to school,
Become a business major,”
“But,
Mom?!”
“And make sure to turn in all your homework on time,
Not a minute later.”

The narrative we shape around our children for a chance to earn some paper.
There’s no wonder why some of us end up under trees while reaching for a wine chaser.
An ancient spell casting shade upon potential seen as burdens,
Due to fear we have savored.
Subconsciously.
Fear that stuns a lot of weak souls to the ground without a chance to pray first…

Because,
It just appears in the snap of a finger,
Doesn’t it?
Whether it’s Gun Point,
That last test in college,
Or,
That tough choice where you’re hungry and broke with no choice but to keep busting it!

But,
Then you arrive at a crossroads.
With 24 hours in the day?
You can either gloat
Or become the G.O.A.T.!
At what you do.
And what do you choose?
An L to the face while you boast,
About what others think you have,
Even if you don’t!
All the heartwarming things you’ve once had,
Until the moment you became cold…

All I know?
You only have yourself to blame when all you do is point fingers yourself.
All you get back is that same finger when you look in the mirror,
Wondering why life feels like hell.
Sure!
The influence of another might of steered you wrong for a bit.
But,
No matter what we go through,
We will always get back what we give…
