Setting Sail Poem by GodBody O.G

Surrounded by sand and trees
I stand alone
seas ripple and roll
splashing up foam
escaped from fear
but conscious heavy
not time to go
yet I'm ready
tried it 3 times before
and it didn't work
no physical pain
but it sure did hurt
thinking I'm grown
though God says otherwise
trying to sail away
in hurricane storm skies
too tired to paddle
so I drift away
in the middle of life
I drift all day
stressing, I want
to repeat old habits
but I don't want
to mimic the rabbits

All I really need is one
all I ever had is done
give me one car one house
one lady
impossible when you have more than
one maybe
learning more about myself
while on house arrest
than I did smoking weed
and playing russian roulette

This place showed me
the ugly in us all
which is why I took my heart out
and let it thaw

Snakes eat rats
so I keep them on call
cut the head off a snake
the body will fall

Dead men don't talk
so I burried my soul
had to dig it back up
to make myself whole

See the reason gangsters behave
in the way that they do
is because if someone has to get hurt
it has to be you
it's not tough to show feelings
or be sympathetic
but it is tough to grow old,
lonely and pathetic
not me I'm good venting
and letting this all out
and when it's time to buss heads
my name is no doubt

Be careful though,
I will be someone great
but by then, it might
just be too late
soon as my ships built
and I set sail
I'm out like a king-pin
released on bail
