Letters straight to heavens door

It’s been awhile since we spoke 
Im in a good place smells of oak 
How’s heaven tell me all about it 
I’m still going and I don’t quit 

Remember the good times
You still live on in my rhymes 
The virus what’s your point of view 
Luckily heaven has you 

It’s taken lives already 
Trying to keep myself steady
If only there’s times with you 
Till then I got to do what I got to do 

Maze

Before I was a prisoner of my own mind 
Lost I couldn’t find 
The difference between left and right 
Long days and long nights 

Time Seemed endlessly falling apart 
Conflict between the brain and the heart 
Eyes lie beyond 
That’s already gone 

Although things fade 
Nothing can aid 
Conflict of the mind 
solutions you can’t find 

Self image

Sometimes I put to much pressure on myself
It’s a damper on my mental health
I try to give myself positive feedback
But I’m a perfectionist and out of whack

Sometimes I put myself in a never ending battle
Cause I forget to empty my emotional cattle
I try to keep my problems till I solve them
When I need to forget them

Cards

I’ve played my hand well 
My problems I don’t let it dwell 
I play a great game 
To realize each hand isn’t the same 

Each piece tells a story 
The struggle and the glory 
Time will tell 
The future as well 

And when the sun rises each day
You play your hand another way
Till time ends 
Moments mend 

Thick and thin

It’s not easy being me 
Honestly it not as hard as it used to be 
I got older over time 
Things expressed in my rhymes 

My life became clearer 
As I came nearer 
To loving myself for who I am 
In life’s complex jam 

Nothing gets easier 
sometimes a little breezier 
Let the stuff fly 
As time goes by 
I’ve learned to so no a lot
Cause my voice is all I got
To stand up for what i believe
Is amazing what you can achieve

No to protect yourself
To protect your health
To speak your mind
To discover and find

What your voice can truly give
If you live
For yourself and mind
 No regrets and rewinds

Own path

In the world full of maps and directions
I’ve been doing some reflections
To find my own pathway
When others distract me on what to say

The humming keeps me on my own beat
Relying on my own feet
Distractions on the way
Mute feelings what do I say

Hiding from my innocence of my youth
Wanting to know the truth
How to go my own way
Knowing what to say
