Question you

It wasn't always this easy, just coasting life, easy peasy

Had to navigate my way through, having emerged out the blue

Starting with nothing, carrying a lot of emotional baggage

Upset that you don't meet the mark, always wanting to hit it from the ballpark

Wondering what you were meant for

Are you to die for

Who do I scream to when my minds racing crazy , no

They have to be physical, my mind way too focused on our spiritual

Not gonna commit a crime so they can cage me

Looking into the sky, erase me

I'm fading fast, I feel my heart sinking

Everybody walked right past me not even blinking

Are they here in this world, gots me thinking

That beat failing, winking so sure,

My whole life's become a blur

This one thing I know for sure

All that's left is his good grace

He sent ME to this wretched place

I have that gift left to give, it was placed in me for us to live

This life is not mine though, say what you want, so

I yearn for the good souls who strive here, they hustle and grind near

They beat a intoxicating beat relentlessly

I am she, relentlessly

That is a personally admired word I learned in college alone

Don't worry that wasn't my first sad song

You know how it feel, just keeping it real

It was like the unattainable feel, of wanting to be somebody's real

The wanting of someone to see me, know my curiosity

Hang with me, bang wit me, roll out to the beat

yeah you know, be my friend, blow a joint in the win

Then you can smile and say, way back when

Something people miss today

That connection of heart in some special way

Meet me at the ballpark with the family and play

Kick that assprin from some kickball play!

We all laughed when we kicked the air from the ball

That day we all stood tall

We looked at each other satisfied

Together once again

That ball game made love magnify and win

Victory in love never goes wrong

You just have to remember to stay strong

Driving down the road I see more clean people on our streets

Who really said we need open boarders when the people on the streets just get deleted by reporter’s

Was it karma, or just swift judgement came around the corner

Maybe you shouldn’t have done the former

I mean my clean people getting hit hard too

Speaking in between the lines, what happened to my boo

Yes its true, me and him are two

Reminds me of why I have to walk straight lines

Never catch me being led by the blind

Keeping it solid, ain't no rewinds

Comfort is sought out in any love of color

Our arms are open, its your token

He is listening

Are you speaking

Never indulge too much

Who said you wasn’t enough

Attain enough knowledge and watch them begin to burn

But that was an excerpt, just obtain enough to learn

In every aspect you will have your turn

Even the wisest can learn

You don't have to wait a turn

Exchange a conversation let yourself learn

Never be lectured, and use ones instinct to challenge the status quo

Never let anyone pull you below

They can’t stop your show

I just thought I’d let you know

When something happens good, you can tell it is real

The spirit is just testing the drill

Enjoy life and the rest is all real

Take notes while boarding all boats

Remember when you dock

Never believe what you see let alone what you hear, unless it's important to deaf ear.

Namaste

It wasn't always this easy, just coasting life, easy peasie

Had to navigate my way through, having emerged out the blue

Starting with nothing, carrying a lot of emotional baggage

Upset that you don't meet the mark, always wanting to hit it from the ballpark

Wondering what you were meant for

Are you to die for

Who do I scream to when my minds racing crazy

They have to be physical, my mind way too focused on the spiritual

Not gonna commit a crime so they can cage me

Looking into the sky, erase me

I'm fading fast, I feel my heart sinking

Everybody walked right past me not even blinking

Are they here in this world, got's me thinking

That beat failing so sure

My whole life's become a blur

This one thing I know for sure

All that's left is his grace

He sent ME to this wretched place

I have that gift left to give, it was placed in me for us to live

This life is not mine though, say what you want, so

I yearn for the good souls who strive here, they hustle and grind near

They beat a intoxicating beat relentlessly

I am she, relentlessly

That is a grand personally admired word I learned in college alone

Don't worry that wasn't my first sad song

You know how it feel, just keeping it real

It was like the unattainable feel, of wanting to be somebody's real

The wanting of someone to see me, know my curiosity

About the Creator

Alisha Bell

The birth of beauty was in me, I lost my family see. Foster care and locked facilities, yet imagining my possibilities. I have seen much in life, I have hid these stories, make believe some a figment of me. Now I want you to see! NAMASTE
