Growing Pains

Stability in motion,

No choice but to respect it

We are not sworn enemies, 

but bearers of perspective 

Inching towards an exit, 

endings mark beginnings

Skin is scarred, the flesh be starved, 

but heart still bears a message

No matter what I go through, 

the creeks of shit I row through

The throws and gains, the pangs of shame, 

the victory I hold to

Seeing that it holds true, 

In spite of plans that fall through

I fan the flame and further cause,

Towards destiny immortal

Art infused with threads of life,

Crossing borders through the night 

I'm not always running, 

just needed to say something

Mentality tribal minimizing tribulations

Mimicing the majesty, 

the fact we are adjacent

Neighbors knowing networks, 

knowers of our net worth

The chords are strummed and rarely cut,

Even during disasters

Such a sign of frailty, 

so I up and use my voice 

In growing pains, the growing shade,

Can breed a lack of choice

But know your boy deliberate, 

and shuns the insignificant

Wearing cross insignias, 

pen pushes for deliverance

The purple mountain majesty, 

the stars and stripes comraddery

The pride it takes, accept mistake, 

a merit to our odyssey 

I shake hands firm and properly,

But not Mr. Monopoly's

Believable because its true,

Reciprocated stern and cool 

To many men of diffrent crews,

Status, shapes, and apptitudes

Could it be what I've been through?

The changes in my energy?

The growing pains have sharpened faith,

To work towards greater unity

Thus I sense congruency,

To motivate the you in me

Results, insults are set aside

For everything thats true in we
