What’s that?
Do you ever just think why? Purpose, is it worthless? I guess my mind wishes to seek. Answers

I really didn’t know the answer
But the feeling swells inside me & I want to rip it out like a cancer
Every turn on every street I hear a greet as I walk
The voice of truth hits me to my roots even though no one has talked
Chalked around my being is a constant fleeing of energy
But I’m a shining star so maybe it’s just subpar waste of my inner me
So I asked myself am I wasting a wealth of bionic effort
So my mind sighs give no indication of why & show me a vision of slaves in red dirt
Can’t complain right that sight should make you appreciate life, sike
It’s a metaphor for what my soul long for, freedom right?
I guess explaining this mess builds stress until I scream I don’t know
Because the man willing to admit he doesn’t know just admitted he wants a chance to grow
So I gotta know thy self & shine like Orion’s Belt & put fear on the shelf in the attic of my soul
Cause my goal to teach might not reach the world on the whole
So I’ll teach those in my reach for that’s all I can control
