~The Grey Shade ~

I am exactly as I appear to Be
There are no qualms about this Personna
Live Life to it’s fullest, Every-Day!!
I get high off on Moments, Not Marijuanna

Stand up tall cause it’s easy for Me
There’s no Fronts, Fakes or Trickery
Integrity tight, My word is Boundless
And my character is seamless See

No smoke and mirrors nor slight of Hand
Never roll like a thief in the Night
There won’t be no Ambush from hiding in a Bush
I'll bring battles while you just bring Fights!!

See you can hide in plain Sight...All you Want
And trust this homie, You will never be Seen
For your sights unseen is always hidden in your Dreams
Your Awaken State!...Just another Mid-Grade Scheme

See your life could be this or It could be That
Or is it actually that it’s Nothing at All
Cause your reflection is your shadow from Yesterday
Standing 10 Feet What!...Against that Same-Bullshit Wall!!

So what’s your story cause you’re an open Book
Full of adjectives and Metaphors
Speaking so many Pro-Nouns that you’re a Pro-Now
Prone Now to the Phrase “ Me–Tap-Hors”

So you reside Half Way, Love to live in the Middle
Life’s intersection and which way will you Go
So you criss cross Life’s Lanes, Hoping for a Change
Red Light! Sorry - You just can’t change No Moe

So here you Stand and Here you Are
All alone and purely Man-Made
All your life...You’ve stood for Nothing at All
That’s why your skintone is called...~The Grey Shade~


Get The Point
Which Way??
Please - You tell me don't look for the Crowd!!
Step Up and Stand On Your Own

Peace

    Wow. This was an interesting poem. Very opinionated but in a great way. You did an excellent job on the rhymes as well. Write on.

    Good Job

    I see this as also stepping out on faith. You have to stand up and do it.

    I must say this was an excellent poem. Your use of language really captured my interest because it seems like a more realistic poem than most others, something that everyday people can relate to. There was a great message embedded in your words that I think more people in this world need to hear. To many people live off others their entire life and never take a stand for themselves. They never take the time to voice their opinions because they haven't realized that they can make a difference if they would just take the time to try. Instead, they just live off others and "go with the flow of things." Truly a great poem.

      Thanks for connecting and you absolutely got the point of this write. Thank you very much for the awesome feedback and that is my style of writing, I don't look to have 2,00 syallbles to make a poem. I look to reach and touch in the most simplistic fundamental means. For many times messages are lost due to the use of what some think is the "let me show my incredible vocabulary" and my point of view is "So What you used a 9 syallble word that probably no one really understands and your point is lost so what has been gained-"Absolutely Nothing" except another exceptionally not understood pretty writing. I look to have all folks relate and not just read. Thanks man for the excellent feedback and connecting with my writing here. I truly appreciate that very much. Keep your head up and always have awesome days. Later

    Wow. Many could learn from this poem. It is so powerful. Everyone should stand and feel their own worth instead of living off someone elses. Bravo Poet.

    Love be the message,
    Peace be the journey.

    Always a pleasure to read you

    I like this one and the message that you are conveying again. I never get tired of hearing what you are saying. I will use it for myself to motivate me to make some changes as we all should. I hope others shall read and get the point. I think I will put you on my favorites if that is fine by you. always the pleasure.
