Cursed Blessings
Why do some people hate being rich?
You have long arms so you can reach that itch
Its a blessing to be smart
But rarely do you do anything from the heart
Indecisive, all decisions coming from the head
Stuck in a rut with feet like lead
Maybe youre never wrong
Or you can hit every note in a song
Either way you've got something to embrace
Something that people chase
And covet
They love it
To have your abilities and to be blessed
Yet when you let them interfere it can make a mess
Because they all want something from you
Not you, and it tears away at the glue
That holds you together
When you feel as vulnerable as a feather
I believe every blessing has a curse
Just like every person is going to need a hearse
Is it ever right to sacrifice art?
Is it ever right to break a heart?
Questions full of intrigue
Its blessings that get you to the league
And its the curse that drives you nuts
Mishandled, is your work in the hands of a klutz
Overcame
All I see is rain
Wanting to change the world at once
Yet I waste time explaining myself to a dunce
So is the blessing truly worth the curse?
You pay all that money for a purse?
Should I continue to let my time and blessings waste?
Your food isnt going any where whats the haste?
It goes cold
This has been foretold
The curse
At its worst
Leads to stifled expression
Yielding constant anxiety and depression
Unsure of which way to turn
Creativity slowly churns
The fire of the art has left
Or has there been a theft?
Severely controlled so creativity began to choke
Looking for a way to say it can't breathe
When its gone its dead
Its not broke
It will not come back once it leaves
We must value the thoughts in our head
Our blessings we must embrace
Our inner problems we must face
Because those that "have it all together" don't. Looking for help is something they won't. Do. Because no one around them has the right glue. It is a personal journey. I feel that mine has begun to burn me. Unsure if what signs mean. Mentally starving, I'm lean. I need something more. It isn't sold in a store. I need a mental connection. That glows over time like the subject of heat convection. Looking for a way to use the blessings I have. Its not a matter that produces a laugh.
Not just physical.
Trickle
Down
My frown
Pain
Rain
Stain
Of blood
Drained
On me
Self trained
Hard to see
Right
In my plight
A waste?
Losing taste
Feels like hell
Dry
In a cell
Escape?
I constantly try
Why?
Am I
This way
Cant fly
Must stay
On ground
Mind turning round
No shape
Tape
Cant fix
This mix
Of bitterness and hate
Wait
Problem
Stop them
Creativity sucked
*Bang* i ducked
Still hit
Light
Not lit
Might
Jump
Stop
No lump
Run a cop
Embarrassed
Attack
Of a terrorist
No tact
Dead
Softly tread
Former self
Disgusted with wealth
Deteriorating health
Hidden with stealth
Mission failed
Train derailed
Cursed
Burst
From the inside
I hide
Bye
Why?
Love
No
Show
Its over
