A Poem for the Morning

So, as I get up this morning, I thought of a few things.

1. Why am I up so damn early?!
2. Thank God I'm still breathing....
3. ...............But still! Why am I up soooo damn early?!

My thoughts went back and forth like this, until I forced myself up from bed. As I rolled over to my right where I keep my notebooks. You see, I often write, or try to write, something before I go to sleep most nights. (I tend to have a lot of thoughts before I go to sleep....Eh...#Shugs) Anyway, I was flipping through the notebooks, finding some nice poems here and there, and some unfinished gems. I came upon one of em that I particularly wanted to finish. And here it is:

Under Construction

Under construction am I

Under tha constructs of time n space

Of loves and hates

Under a society that is so set on self pleasure

One would say it masterbates


We must overcome
Overpower
Just get over
We who are
Underconstruction.....

We must overcome
Overpower
Just get over
We who are
Underconstruction.....We must overc
um

Overcome

Just get over

We who are

Underconstruction...

One needs no introduction

To the destruction

Of the evils of jealousy, ignorance, and lust-in

We must win

Cant leave it up to chance

I take the “Win or Go Home” stance

Ha…

Guess Im goin home

Cuz I’ve been put told from the start

That only losers follow their heart

So I follow it to Heaven, Hell

And everywhere in between

Hoping every lesson

Every smile

Every tear

Every laugh

Every fear

Every piece of a broken heart

Can be used as a brick

Helping me build

Until, then

Im Under-Construction


And with that, Good Morning Academy of Tomorrow!
