FS#2: Airplanes

Lets go back to the time when he was 7 years old
So young but yet the world felt so cold
His mama left him and went to New York
Everyday he still prayed for her safety to the lord
But why she gotta leave without even saying goodbye
He woke up and she was gone from his side
That whole week he cried till his eyes were dried
But as he grew older he understood why
Its for the familys future so they can finally fly high
Now lets go back to when he was 9 years old
He finally arrived to the city of gold
The smile show up in this fair lady's face
The kid was blessed by that lady's grace
It was his mama they finally meet again
Everything went well just like how they planned
If he pretended that airplane was like a shooting star
Then his wish wouldn't had been afar
The pain wouldn't had been so great when they depart
Only if he can just pretend none of this happened from the start...

FS#1: Growing Up

Ever had a father but no father figure?
It's like growing up witn an invisible father
Life becomes desperate when you got no one to look up to
Everything that a father and a son would do, would never occur to you
No one there to tell you from your rights to your wrongs
When you realize it, everything has already been done
When I fell down I needed him to help me get back on my feet
When I'm in a predicament I needed him to make my ends meet
I had to do everything by myself
Can depend on nobody else
So when I do wrong I hold myself responsible
When I do right I tell myself that was acceptable
When I look back in my life and all the mistakes I made
Is the reason I became who I'm today, even though time fades
The only part he played was the obstacles he put in my way
Always being overshadowed by his failures rather than my own success
"You did better than ur father" was the only phrase I get
Maybe him having no major parts in my life was a bless
The memories was forever implented in my head
The lessons learned made me stronger instead
The none stop pain and struggle
Increased my abilities to handle
Any situations that brings trouble
What u gotta do is always stay on ur hustle

New Blog: Poetry In Motion

Hello everyone. It has been a long while since my last update. But today I bring to you some good news! I will be more active in blogging via a new blog call Poetry In Motion. Well, it will be in the same page as this but you can click on the labels under my blog title and it will lead you to my freestyle series.

This new blog will be freestyles that I write. They are all written by me, none of them are plagiarized. Some of the freestyles were based on my very own experiences and others will be made up for the sake of rhyming. Enjoy!

FEEL FREE TO COMMENT/CRITICIZE ABOUT MY FREESTYLES. ALL FEEDBACKS ARE WELCOMED!

NOTE: I will continue posting in Back Against the Wall, but just not anytime soon.
