Pieces Of Authencity Poem by Laquory Jones

I never got to tell you how sorry that
I am I guess I've been struggling with
What to say with the pen but
I've been placing everything into my
Recycle bin yeah I've been in my
Mind cycling but I never know what
I'm looking for just trying to swim
Myself back to the shores
Emotional rushes becoming too
Intense to ignore
Richie do you even make sense any
More I haven't been making cents
In some time perhaps your life's
More colorful than mine
But I have no choice but to climb
While keeping my head held high

Edgar once pulled himself from the
Brink I'm just fortunate that I can
Write poetry to help you through the
Slumps no doubt that you'll get over
These humps we've taken our lumps
In sum through the Obstacles of Life
That we're now force to face
Every person now trying to find a
Way day by day not knowing
If they'll be okay but this is what
I have to say (ears open)

There once was a time when
People gave their shirts off their
Backs whatever happened to that
Witnessing the world fall off its
Tracks but I see a few fabrics of
Society react just a tad of a
Fraction it's getting harder with
No interactions but the trick
Is to never lose faith but
Richie that's easier for you to say
Minds are constantly swayed

It takes me back to memories
Of an older society then
I have to blink finding more
Pieces of Authenticity
Within you and I
Just more Spectrum of Life
That we have to see
Never letting doubt break you
Down mentally don't let your
Confidence go obsolete
I'm just trying to get you to see
That you're stronger than you think
Just when all hope seems lost
A life-line is tossed just in the
Knick of time that silver-line
That's just the beauty of life
