Writer's Block # 3

Fear's Constitution

Afraid to be successful

Afraid to be forgotten

To be or not be my mantra

My hollowed skull rotten

On the Beach

Listeners afraid to teach

How can a leader lead his followers

When his enemy is who he sees

In the mirror

Shows the truth

Proof is in the pudding

Could've, Would've, Should've

Simply replaced with couldn't

Leads a frail man on a trail that's decorated with bullets

Always scared to try but never afraid to pull it

Isn't it strange how we close one eye to aim

Because we blind ourselves to reason

Then it's easier to spread the blame?

What if Martin was scared to march

Malcolm paused sparking a revolution

My only choice would be fear

A solution less solution

No theorem to back me up

Against the wall of my failures exist

In my mind I break'em down

Like crab legs

I'm walking sideways

Trying to avoid topplin' on negative waves of defeat

Yeah, I think I'm big me

More talented and blessed

A vision you can't see

Yesterday I had a dream

Crashed in a ravine

Loved one in the passenger seat

Told her not to just breathe

For goodness sake, awake

Don't want you to see sleep's cousin yet

But instead of being paralyzed

Got my angel wings, pair-a-fly

Use the darkness to fuel my journey past the sun

Past the milky ways and Sector 9

Never hesitate to be great

Make them fear your evolution

Never pledge allegiance

To fear's constitution.
