“Votes”

Dropped out of the campaign, but I still promote

Haven’t been in the race, but I stay getting votes

Alive and well when some thought I was comatose

Might as well haunt like ghosts

I kill demons like an exorcist

Practice don’t make you a perfectionist

It takes talent, skill and knowing the right measurements

I might go all out and climb Everest

Do or die, the time is now

Procrastination’s always on the prowl

I rise up to the occasion

Charisma and Jedi persuasion

I have anxious and I have patient days

Meditate and learned that patience pays

I am gifted, make no mistake

Imagine what would happen if I put my soul on full display 

"Roots"

No absolutes…

The roots need improvement, nonetheless the juice has truth

Squeezed of all niacin, vitamin deficient, but sufficient time recoups

Consume soups…

Meditate to attract and snack on fruits

Upgrade on cardio, lifting weights until the pain is soothed

Create a movement and follow a strict regimen

Establish laws, allowed flaws without the need to feed on medicine

Fully healed…

Peal the layers to uncover a major breach that’s been concealed

The soft tissue is armored and has hardened like a dozen tons of steal

Look forward…

The Taurus is stubborn, but gives way when the substance’s important

Brain’s no longer dormant, positive thoughts work as reinforcements

Blessed…

Digest all concepts to prevent any missteps

No question there’s a purpose to fulfill that I will accept 

“Parallel Universes”

Wake up to a palpitating heart

Could this be the start of a devastating farce?

Moments ago I was indulging in sweet episodes

Ringing earlobes, skin feels sunburned

The darkness never bothered before, now I turn to a light bulb for comfort

Why did I ignore the spiritual and allow my physical needs to come first?

Did I push my body to betrayal?

Rewind, I hope to take a wrong turn on that undesirable trail

Fast forward, fireworks compose the scenes of my REM sleep cycle

Time overlaps as I urinate in cozy diapers

Growing up fast, time flies when you’re sinning

Middle and high grades filled with escapades of young women

Cut class for sex, grass and classic rock

Threw away scholarships to be the cool guy…what a fool, right?

Close my eyes, focus on education with countless study sessions

Bombarded with acceptance letters that will allow me to choose any profession

Wake up to a lonely mansion accompanied by expensive automobiles

Various bank accounts that allow me to do whatever I feel

Travel the globe in search of serenity as the emphasis

Contemplate the meaning of life and the writings in the book of Genesis

In a world filled with hate, make no mistake I am my biggest nemesis

So I stay on my toes because if I falter other foes can’t be blamed for the negligence 

"Smile"

Smile because life is too short
Can’t afford to spend my time dwelling on agony behind closed doors
Never knowing what’s in store 
Smile, life is a beautiful thing
We all are born queens and kings
With aspirations and dreams
At times I wake up from a deep sleep in screams
Smile, the nightmares are temporary
Even though scary, they’re eventually buried
Into the darkness a torch I carried
Smile, the light is vibrant and warm
Swam with the sharks even when I was warned
Drowned, but somehow washed up ashore
Smile, the water has cleansed my soul
Now, time to set new goals
I’m sure to reach heights that erase the lows
Wish to spread good vibrations around the globe
Smile, the best has yet to come
In a world of bread, I’ve only tasted crumbs
So much time was wasted drunk
Took a blow to the head and bled
For weeks couldn’t be removed from bed
Smile, in the face of death
Tortured, but passed the test
I must cherish each breath
Smile, I’m awake and I love it
Wish to share my positivity with the public
Trust in my creator and place nothing above it
