The Recap

Part II

Image Via:https://www.deezer.com/en/album/196604982

We all know what happens when you put someone on a pedestal,

Even the purest angel can become a devil.

And through it all so many things to bear.

Hurricane, earthquakes and to top it off a pandemic.

But really few get what the island went through,

Much less what these people had to do.

Corrupt governments also never help in the peoples fight,

What could be done? Except accept they may be right.

But the people weren’t silent and today are still showing all their might.

Yet the land isn’t everything that caused immense pain,

Nothing was more difficult than finding a permanent friend.

Through illnesses and broken bones,

No where really, felt like home.

And even accompanied resonated the feeling alone.

If life isn’t cruel enough,

The shiniest pearl became so rough.

Haunted by failures and misfortune,

The closing of doors that had long once open.

But the closing led to the crumbling of walls,

No cage standing to harbor the soul.

No sheriff or marshals to dictate anymore.

So a refocus of thought was all that was left,

Because the second time around,there will be no failing the test.

The Recap

Part I

Image via: https://m.facebook.com/RWNDparty/photos/a.191166280899553/1461339583882210/?type=3

I started this journey thinking it would be fun,

Thinking I’d finally be able to finish the run.

But man, did life have other plans,

And let me tell you, Im not a fucking fan.

You might say, yeah ok, here we go,

But these last few years really did blow.

Hear me out,don’t discard me just yet,

I haven’t even started to put up the set.

So the show all started about four years ago,

When I knew once again, I had to let go.

Another fool who tried to play my heart,

But nah, I wasn’t willing to play that part.

And yeah it hurt,we always think we found the one, dont we.

Mmmmm! but that man, was not for me.

So broken hearted and stubborn,

I went back to the past,

But with the excuse I wanted to grow fast.

Enrolled in school to gain some higher power,

Maybe the past would see I could still be a flower.

A flower with thorns but a flower none the less,

Even if I didn’t pass test.

But what do you expect a 19 year old to do, when experience comes knocking at the door.

Theres no choice but to get on the floor

Begging on all fours.

And sure, yeah that’s not a pretty image,

But trust living it wasn’t no picnic.

I know you must say, “ yeah sure just another gimmick,”,

But you weren’t there to witness.

Nobody was, that’s the problem,

The stones were cast and all forgotten,

Yet there was my corpse starting to rotten.

Fast forward, somehow I picked myself up,

But in the back of my head I knew I’d fucked up.

So I did the right thing, rectified myself,

But in the end I could still feel all the stares.

And most of all, the deception in the air.

So I did the right thing, focused on my studies,

Until one day came along that sweet little buddy.

Distractions, distractions, that’s all that I got

Once again, almost lost my damn shot.

Refocused, re-evaluated when along came an angel,

My own personal Gabriel the Savior.

I cried and I shouted a big amen,

I had finally gotten my perfect ten.

Small moments that seem real;

Small moments that make you feel.

Attached to each other in an endless chain,

Taking away all the pain.

Small memories that come together,

Small memories creating forevers.

All Consuming Flame

Never had I loved with the intensity of a thousand fires.

Nor had I felt so much passion and desire.

In your eyes, I saw an everlasting calmness, a passiveness that eased my being.

Yet a fire that stirred up my heart and ignited my mind.

I can still feel your fingers tracing my broken silhouette, making it whole again.

And boy did it feel good to be in your arms, oh, so good, to hold you forever tight.

To drift off into your being, share the deepest parts of my soul.

Never had it felt so good, to be so close.

To have my heart ripped out of my chest, have it taken care of at its best.

I can still feel your hugs screaming my name.

Giving loose end, to my all-consuming flame.

Your soft, sweet kisses, reviving my cheek, your cool breath under the starry night.

Everything good, everything right. Everything bright.

Never did I remember loving you so much, as I remember tonight.

Bittersweet, ecstasy. Ignite my taste buds with your memory.

Combine your self with ice and water; make your self a lover.

From your process bittersweet I will gain a tasty treat.
