I took a break from life because I needed. The ones who were there to support did not get it though.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Let me explain it to you
Because don’t seem to understand
My mind is not some mere light switch that could be flicked on and off
There is no wind that will blow, or no sun that will shine
or any thunder to rumble
That will cause it to stumble.
It moves at a speed that cannot be measured.
It processes the good and the rotten
The horrible and wishes: to be forgotten.
To take a pause it not some simple feat
To have that pause is delectable treat
What I seek does not come by some peaceful moment of silence
For it speaks and the volume reaches is nothing short of brilliance.
It takes not one or two little factors
And absolutely no attackers
But let me explain
So I will talk plain.
the attacks aren’t from those who wish you harm
They come from the ones who judge ready to twist your arm
Don’t judge me for my methods of taking a break
But then attempt to show concern and end up being fake
You think that now that I have been wasted
That I would be addicted to what I have tasted?
My mama and papa raised no fool
But you think that I was just trying to be cool
If only life was really that simple
And being cool solved all life’s pimples
But I am no longer a child
To be protected from life’s harsh tide
I have to learn and I have to fail
And I need to be left to blaze my own trail
I will not step where you have step
neither will I soar where you have soared
nor will I stumble where you have stumbled
you are not I and I am not you
I will find my own path and make it anew
The road is not easy and surely is rough
And I will always try not to be gruff
But I take my steps carefully
As I have been taught dedicatedly
By those who love and will love me some more
But while I lay adrift on this shore
Please, be slow to judge but quick to understand.
Because some days pass by and I am grasping a strand
Holding on so tightly that my grip
Would not dear loosen for fear I slip.
