Life lesson life sentence



shake within the exhale
Understanding incurred without changing.

Hardly just a life lesson
Life sentence only because I miss the blindfolded me

1 red flag placed before so many others
I felt pride somehow having someone with such precise gestures.

I’m dying with a smile
How did I take that so lightly?

To know who I was around
Correct my social life say I am the liability
Just for grounds to seek their company while we were falling out.

There were 2 ways to crazy
One without a picture the other without embrace.

Couples to couples Judged in distance
IQ’s compared to merits
Coat tails may find you money
Smoking jackets may give you time

Taken from the one whom preys upon my misfortune.
I don’t want to spend time I’d rather explore.

Sending the mind for words to describe just how still I want to become.

Still for.
Sure; still.
For sure.
No more.
Still more for sure.
Still sure for no more.
For sure no more, still.

No more.
