Epic Story

Sometimes I close my eyes and see a scene so serene It seems I can’t clutch it ’cause it’s only a dream I know a dream is a silly thing to put your hope in Sometimes I close my eyes and wish that they’d never openThis dream is better than the reality where I liveI wish I lived on the other side of my eyelidsI wonder what would happen if this thing occurredYou ever wonder what happens to a dream deferredIs it like a flower beat down by the rainBut when the sun shines it stands tall againOr does it lose momentum and crash like a planeAnd hit the ground and crumble into nothing and shameWho’s to blame if your dreams don’t materializeAnd clearly define that guy that you visualizeHow vivid is the vision that you get when you envisionWhen you pushing pass the limits and dream is what you livingWhen life gives me lemons I make orange juiceSkip what the world expects I do what I want to.In my hands I hold my future who knows what my future holdsI took a stab in the dark and light started to glowSo I continued to stab some say I murda the flowI say I breathe breath into it until I can feel a pulseThe most passionate whenever my pen bleedPoetry is in my blood for you it’s just skin deepI know it sounds cliché to say it’s the reason that I breatheBut if the power went out I’d write to my heart beat.
I’m slipping into sin again and sin don’t have any benefits, I know because I've been in it. Well let me paint a picture with the pad and the pen.Thought I had it well guess I was wrong ’cause a sister got static again.Living life feeling like I was an addict againI don’t have any control I’m about to crash and spin.I’m a Christian but a sister wasn’t practicing it,when I turned to God that was the last thing I didI have to pray I have to get this right.I have to see God's light living in my lifeHe’s the righteous silent lamb saving the sinful manFrom the sin he commit over and over againMan if I fall I’ll be holding on to him, holding on to me,holding on to them.

Shandreeka, that was deep. I like the way how it starts off about you and then it starts getting like your imagination. This was really deep girl.

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

Nice poem, but it is too short. NO CREDIT.
