Where does the time go? 

Is it where the money flows? 

When will the need for goals slow to a stop 

These feelings stack up

 its weighing a lot 

It’s not what I got, it's the things that I do

Its costing me a lot, but what else would I do

Your life is a copy and paste of someone else 

I might think with haste, thoughts ringing like a bell

In my head, I’m still in my bed 

Maybe I’m just overwhelmed with all red

Said it all, im left bouncing like a ball 

Look at yall, green with jealousy

Peeling away the lies, find the center of honesty 

Alone most of the time looking for integrity 

Intuitive like a book, but I won’t be red 

Blue like I’m cool, just heavy like lead

King like i'm George ain’t no ignoring 

Sing like I’m orange, going to Florence, foreign. 

Fast driving like lighting, elevated, I’m soaring. 

At last I reach my destination 

Besieged, always known i’ve been destined  

To break free from the hold, no hesitation 

Lately thinking about becoming something new 

Few choices I got all different hues 

Made the news in my city I want to go back 

Fade to black, close the curtains, thank you.

I love writing like this. When I write one line I feel I have to keep the flow going. This was the most fun I've had writing poetry in a long time.
