Signs



Life is definitely hard at times,
Adjust your mentality, read between the lines,
Follow the guidelines, open your eyes,
Adhere to the signs.
The signs can be as vague as a look, or as simple as a sound,
Whether miniscule or profound, stick your ground,
Your ability will be envied like a king being crowned.
Our souls notate a pseudo-biography, however,
Beware you don't revise the date of your obituary
Succeed by delegating your heart as your sanctuary
Many people choose to ignore the path,
Brush off destiny & you'll feel the wrath,
Theres no rhyme or reason, or a twisted trick,
The path has been laid out, brick by brick
Not as prominent as the yellow road in oz,
But just move forward, you'll lose time if you stop & pause,
Your mind will be inclined to follow the line,
Follow the path & your future will shine!
