Def Poetry #0

To preface this, this poem was my first foray into Def Poetry and I performed this at camp.

Unstrap the shackles of your mind.
Get out of your head and you'll find
The world ain't black you were just blind.

Escape away into my rhymes
which are all designed
to wed- the dreams from bed
into reality we choose to shed.
Like snake skin into a new body
we're shakin now cause its not a hobby
we're comfortably
with.

I wish that this
Will explain the rift
between time and reason
and all the signs of seasons
changing
is just the world rearranging
the water
so the seeds will grow
in the hotter places we'll never go
change the paces in cultures we'll never know
It's funny though,

How words are insights into our brain
Communicating things we can't explain
through motion
like the ocean evaporates into rain
and how the happy emotions dissapate into pain
deviate until we're sane
and can reestablish all of our gains
so we can cut the losses
bogged down by bosses
work us til we're exhausted
but in the end its worth it to come back confident
that this life is a constant.

Like 60 seconds in a minute:
it's sixty can't spin it
it's been there since the begining
when we created time to commit it
daylight to the world spinnin
providin sunshine so we can keep livin
and keep givin
build eachother up
so we can reach the threshhold limit

Of our life.

Manage the stresses and strifes
and realize that it will all be alright
Cause tonight
I find i own the sights
That bind me to the rights
inside me.

And the hand that planned it is ever expandin

Walks behind me
giving gentle nudges to the future
so when i get cut by the judges
the hand stiches the sutures
and wishes renewed for

What?

The wishes renewed
for the nudges and prods
of that hand that guides behind and inside me
is the path of God.
