Lessons In A Chess Game

Facing it feels like a task that I'm not ready to succeed

Loving it feels like a passion that I'm not ready to feel

We go through it with eyes closed looking into it as a majestic

scene. Waiting to be found by some unwanted cherished being

We seek it not knowing of the consequences it brings

the fears it upholds

the danger it molds

it rips our past right out and exhales it to the world

without a care of the pain, you brought on yourself

The Apocalypse brings a depression

into the abyss of oppression

teach us a lesson

The surrogate mother in the alley with a needle

waiting for a fix, waiting to fix

her broken soul, her babies bone;

doesn't matter to her.

She lacks the common sense

the confidence, the defense

for her humanity, her intelligence

she is held in captivity

of her own fantasy

unaware of reality

she needs a man to see

her b.e.a.u.t.

y?

does she need this ecstasy?

part of her unfinished dynasty

is to be,

wrapped in her own simplicity

ruled by a monarchy

In her mind

she tries to find

the reason as to why she lives like this

thousands of miles away from perfect bliss

I wish I could answer all your questions

but even I am in this lesson

separated

hated

jaded

betrayed by this we call life

cut by a blade

beginning to fade

afraid of the future

no sense of adventure

we're not a perfect creature

we make mistakes

not a smooth road

hydraulic breaks

quakes

we make, these stupid remarks

hide in the dark

though

I am electric

waves through my body are eccentric

not some random chick

wear no make-up, no lipstick

cannot be bought with just a click

though this life is hectic

I make it epic

euphoric

majestic

beat it like a drumstick

think outside the box

no, I'm not cubic,

just trying to add some logic.

Poetry flows inside of me

through the veins and outside my body

We hear this and that

not knowing what to believe

afraid of being naive

the fake people are about as many as a shirtsleeve

perfection we will never achieve

its all in our conscience

ability has its absence

hides in a corner together with brilliance

to unveil, we need guidance

between those and ambition

there is a huge distance

to break the gap we need patience

it will not happen in just an instant

for instance

the time It takes to feel a moment filled with transience.

Pay attention

live with passion

you have to pay that pension

stay away from that weapon

though you feel the tension

fight it

use your whit

it's always legit

I may seem like some politician

with lack of diction

but wisdom is not common

be articulate

not some cheapskate

someone who I can relate

speak your heart till the walls start to vibrate

with a rhythm that makes them pulsate

nothing wrong with that, just setting the record straight

the world's not leaving with this current birthrate

all you do should be great

all you say should create

make people appreciate

make people graduate

think straight

your own story, narrate

be in your minds current state

if you hate where you are, vacate

start a clean slate

before it's too late

before life says ''checkmate''.
