New music to feed the soul

Poetic Dan



My real will make your real look like a rental
This line in a song is driving me mental

The reflection inside of me is not the same as my society
I'm in a shadow of the who that I could be

If only I had the courage to speak all the words outside of me
Then I'd no longer cage this raw emotion internally

For I have no problem saying all of my defeats
The times I've not met my own beliefs

I'm part of the negativity and the positivity
Living a life most dream, yet unappreciative

Every reason to smile knowing I got a head start
So when will I learn to see all things I've had from birth

Maybe by doing more than just writing these lines down
Come out from the shadows and let this lion raw

We need to stop doing all the crap we do to each other and of course, ourselves!

If your real is as real as mine feels
Thank you for the struggling
May we change for new beginnings 
To end this internal suffering

    May those new beginnings become reality.

      Where my rhyming gets better and less negative chater.
      Thanks for the comment my friend

      I agree. We need to be better to others as well as ourselves. I share the guilt and blame.

      • Poetic Dan

        Absolutely as I am still struggling to meet my own expectations.

        Dan,

        Yes, we all struggle...some of us more than others!

        “I’m in a shadow of the who that I could be...”

        You do have the courage!
        Don’t cage that “raw emotion internally”!

        By writing this excellent piece, you’re aware of your strength! You have a head start. Don’t fall behind!

        ~Laura~

          I read all the comments but no time to reply, for whole weekend I kept them in my mind.
