Shine
His lazy mind, refused to climb
Towards his enterprise
Worst, he found, hooded clowns
To quiet his profounds
His silent heart, saw he was smart
But could not wake him up
He'd filled his nights, with strange delights
Left bad wine in his cup
Not being phased, he shared his haze
Damn them-lick it up
But Susie saw, he could do more
And offered him a door
And then, he awed-could it be
They really see
He gave his self a tweet
Why not a bath-a healthy meal
Subscription to the real
A exercise-a sharpened mind
Potential shine
Its time
