Life’s a mystery
You’re expected to learn
From your history
As you navigate the treachery
It’s beautiful yet overwhelming
Build yourself a legacy
Concentrate on winning
Without obsessing over perfection
Hone your craft
The way you’d sharpen a weapon
Use intensity with every lesson
Follow in the footsteps of the Great’s
But lead your own direction
Don’t be an open book
Never hide your intentions
There’s one truth but multiple perceptions
Be tough not-so-much
It could be confused for aggression
Speak kindness over gossip
You never know who’s listening
Wake up and count your blessings
Life’s a mystery
We need phrases for inspiration
The reality is we have our face in our phones
Instead of having our head in the clouds
No need for dreams
We rather zone out
Live life vicariously through Instagram
Lie about the girls we’ve had
Spend more time creating the perfect mask
You can flaunt it and no one would notice
We’re all zombies in motion
To be honest I’m out of touch
I live within my imagination
Exploring life’s “mysteries”
With many faces
My facets impair me from living normally
The sensation roaring
One foot in the spiritual realm
The other in this world
My eyes open to detail
My heart rolled like the dead sea scrolls
Ancient artifacts
One day my past lovers will read bout it
For now I’ll try to make sense
Of the senseless
Use my experience to spread knowledge
Without playing the victim
Delve into as many truths as I encounter
Do exactly what I desire.
