K.O.

KO
So you think you want to know about Double P
Please you can’t handle the complexities of me
You can’t even see what is in your face
The genuine signs I show everyday
Such a rare find
Value often overlooked
Until the date is too late
And Miss T comes into play
So many people think they know
And they come up with the dumbest things to show
Run and tell
I wonder if they feel dumb when they are wrong as hell
Steady thinking the pressure will break me
When in reality
The pressure is forming this diamond more and more beautifully
Shine becoming brighter and brighter by the second
Hope you at least have on shades
I really don’t want you to disintegrate
Cause it’s like looking at a Roman God in its true form
Or a solar eclipse
Not to be looked at directly
Maybe you should turn your head
I see you squinting when you try looking me in the eye
I know the shine is just too bright
Maybe one day you’ll grow enough to see
To realize we are all here for the same thing
To learn what we need to in the time we have
That really no one is better that the next
It’s our perceptions that needs to be fixed
Once you find the balance between being humble and proud
The judgment you have will reduce for the crowd
That you see around
I know this is supposed to be about me
But without people and the bonds I have
Where would I be
I’ve learned from the good, the bad, and the ugly
I would do it all again
Especially the painful moments
To learn and grow
Become the butterfly
From the caterpillar
I grew in my for years in my cocoon
Now I’m spreading my wings
And learning as the flight goes on
I’ll keep pushing til the end
Of my time in this realm
Making sure my business is taken care of
On the way I’ll continue to give all the love
And help that I can
Trying my best to leave a great impression on this land
A legacy that never ends
I’m smart enough to know
That I’m not where it began
And strong enough not to allow it to end
With me
But to pass it on
Mentor while I learn
It’s the only way to truly be
What point is there to know
And not to share
Knowledge/power
With who you can
I know that’s not most people’s plan
The greed causes them to think again
But I’ve never been one to follow the next man
Standing out has always been my plan
And I do it so well
Because I only know how to be myself
So if it’s not what you expected
Oh well
UnXpect’D is what I’ll always be
That K.O. will keep coming
Trust
Not only in poetry
Give it enough time
And you just might see

Hurt

Hurt
Dam this hurts
Why would I listen to what his words said
When I could feel in his heart different
Or did I speak it into existence
Anyway I’m left again
Holding another bag
With nothing but pain within
Trying so hard not to be
A “bag lady”
As soon as I dispense of one
Another one comes
Fuller than the last
When will this all pass
How do I grab that other bag
The one full of happiness
The one that seems just out of my reach
Always helping someone else get there
But what about me
Maybe this is my purpose
To be a pit stop
On the way
While others are on the road
And actually reaching their pursuit
I’m just walking forever
Stuck in the twilight
With no end in sight
Can’t see the light at the end of this tunnel
Maybe I’m in a cave
Going deeper
And deeper
The darkness becoming thicker
Eyes adjusting by the day
My own little evolution
Evolving to survive
This environment
That it seems I’ll continue to live in
Is it by choice
Or is this God’s plan
Before you even begin
To tell me God wants everyone happy
Do some research into history
And the Bible and you will see
There are those here meant to never be happy
And plenty of times
I have to sit and wonder
If one of those is me

Knowledge

Knowledge
I heard a song today
That pushed an issue even closer to me
It’s not like I haven’t heard this before
Especially in main stream media
But it still saddens me to see
That our society
Not only accepts and condones
But feels this way more and more
People really think
Money is more than knowledge can be
Child please
Society has forced us to use money
Why is it so hard to see
That knowledge is something you can’t take from me
My heart is another thing
Some may try and argue
That with money you can buy anything
Knowledge and love included in their schemes
I guess it would seem that way to a fool
But knowledge is not just something you find in school
It’s something that can be gained from anywhere
So I’m not saying you need a degree to get there
But when did it become acceptable
For a person to be downed because a degree was one of their goals
One they worked hard to obtain
How could that cause so much distain
Are we so naïve
That we make money our dreams
Are we really too blind to see
That money doesn’t make the man be
A man in the end
It’s what’s within
The knowledge it takes
To use the resources in his wake
To step up and take
Care of his responsibilities
To know love and even envy
To be humble
And not realize
How many people wish
They can be him on the inside
While people are so busy clowning
And downing
They really would give anything
Especially all of that money
To have the true riches
Only knowledge can bring
I hope this reaches at least one
And helps them understand
While on this Earth
Gain all the knowledge u can
