Life's Moving Vessel Poem by Laquory Jones

Life's Moving Vessel

Rating: 5.0


Inside me lives this hunger it became my rising thunder
I've once heard that our days indeed are numbered
And if that's the case there's no time to waste before
I fall into a deep sleep hibernating slumber
Many times my face has hit the pavement just then
My legs went to the left and bent failing at every expense
My days of life has been spent gaining a key of substance
My heart gushing and rushing I don't mean to make you
Feel complacent but my thoughts has gone adjacent
Deep down I know that I'm bound to do something amazing
Something inside me boils as I sit and toil I begin breaking
A sweat when my parents insults my intellect it's been a struggle

Just to get keep myself in check as I hold each card in
Decks they've spitted at my mere existence becoming non-
Coherent tell me, What am I missing? No one's seeing my inner
Vision they've slowly broken down my defenses I've remained
Defense-less while wondering, How could I break this cycle?
But no-one wants to hear it all I ever wanted was just to be
Good at this so I continue my practice one day I'll reach the
Whole atlas but instead all I'm hearing is ab-lib of people
Taking digs they hate because I'm building bridges with no
Edgy ridges lately I've been sinking as problems stacks

Against the ceilings as the pressure's building my thoughts
Begins to seal-in brain matter begin to unreel when I'm
Overcoming odds to get even channeling these inner feelings
Into relaxed healing I'm opening my inner rage letting it
Take center stage I've been upstaged but people are bound
To feel my sole embrace of my mental space now that I've
Become a life's voyager just to encourage you there's nothing
That I wouldn't do just get through to you even when life has
Gone askew that's your cue to bring something brand new no
Matter how society tries to brand you there's some people only
Out to destroy all that you're worth I call them 'decoys' just
People whom to avoid in the end you have a choice speak your
Mind and lift up your voice so never be deterred
let the words occur letting your voice be heard

This became my cry for help across the nation while voicing
My inner frustrations I've witnessed pure devastation while
Searching for hope as my destination I'm going through life
And her downward slopes across the seven seas not one
Hearing my pleas because many friends has gone deceased
Parents only aimed to tease never keeping my mind at ease
It's Semper fi do or die that became my battle-cry Semper
Fidelis 'always faithful' yes to the end the pain never lessens
But I've learned that painful lesson no matter how much I'm
Stressing I'll use my mind as a vessel keeping people
In its threshold life became my utensil that became evident
I'm visiting every residence if no one's still convinced
So lets commence while letting my words com-bust
Feel the rush until the very essence of the soul is touched
With-in me you can enter trust and change the world

The End

A very intense poem with great pain and suffering contained therein. I have heard your plea and pray for you, don't listen to what others say, you know what needs to be done, stay steadfast in your beliefs and convictions, you will prevail more than anyone will expect. Keep writing, you are a very powerful writer with much to convey. Take care and never give up! Always I have said to others, it's none of my business what others think of me, it's what I think of myself that matters. Stay strong and focused you will do great things! Thank you for sharing, RoseAnn
