Gracious Giving

What you see is what you get and I’m a sight to behold
Or so I’m told…on that fact I haven’t been sold
Life is cold, I’m naked in a room full of wolves
It’s too dark to see their eyes, but I can hear the hooves
Inching In, I pretend, this is the end
Then I, hit em once, and then I hit em again
7-3, no A, still I have to say
The Drums of Steel will heal when we’re led astray
Better days ahead, if you know the way
I’m still mapping out my coordinates, I praise the day
I take a step in the direction I was meant to tread
Worn and dead-beat from this life I led
Love don’t spread, sometimes it dissipates instead
Tears’ll shed and then regret the things unsaid
What a shame, I tried to explain my end game
But in vein, now things may never be the same

Three times, seven years, 21 degrees
Wants and needs neglected while the monster feeds
Possibly, you’re just as lost as me
I watched my seed grow into a poisoned tree
But I’m poised to be, the cure, that’s my sworn decree
Born free, but bondage came so naturally
Chained down to a system made for my defeat
Eyes to feet, mind, to the times I sleep
They’re there for their share, leave me incomplete
Talk is cheap, mind the company you keep
Some will use you up, and toss you off in the heap
While others drift away when the water gets deep
I’m trying to complete my training, be the best I can be
Come test that for me, guarantee, it let you feel free
Give and receive, balance is a thing that we need
To some degree, if we ever hope to succeed

Give graciously is basically the road I trekked
Slowly stepped, took time with each new face I met
The taste of sweat, tears, and some blood that dripped
A whole lot leakage, had to watch for slips
I watch clips of life on my memory chips
Each moment eclipsed by present time emotional rifts
Opinions split on issues that don’t even exist
The premise is this, a thought without truth is a myth
The proof is equipped to shift all doubt off the cliff
The sweet smell of success, breath it in, take it whiff
But take it quick, it’s known to fade away, in a blink
Cause sometimes success ain’t as real as ya think
We need to re-sync, life added wrinkles and kinks
Pushed to the brink, sadly it severed the link
It’s never too late, to improve on mistakes we make
But time we take, determine if it clears the slate
