|Substance| - "Step into the Sun" [8/11]

I wanted to inspire others to find their inner peace so writing inspirational pieces became a theme

“Step into the Sun”

Stranded on an island

Disbanded from the group

Forever feeling aloof as I maneuver through life

Not because of the strife endured once before

But rather because life is a closed door

 

My hands wretch as my arms outstretch

For the direction I turn to is askew

Always being reprimanded for getting sticky fingers

But the thought still lingers as to what could have been

 

The rot kills as it disseminates through my mantra

As hills occur and valleys appear

Hills where the challenge isn’t clear

Valleys where the path isn’t near

Only to sear in the baking sun for my immobility

 

But my ability to conquer has been seen

I’ve been doling out accomplishments since fifteen

I’m obscene and careen to my desired route

Always smiling never giving a shout

As I get clout for coloring outside the lines

 

A sense of doubt should not be achieved

Perceive that your actions shouldn’t make you grieve

Because you see people who only have so much time left

Be a champion of your days

Escape the haze

 

Learn that the rays of the sun should kiss your skin

As we should strive to take all of it in

Enjoy the time spent with others

Forsake the bothers present

Don’t resent the fluctuations

Ride them in confidence to a brighter future
