ADSactly Poetry : Lucid Lyrics Designed to Expand Minds (Part 24)

Hello Steemians! The ADSactly Poetry : Lucid Lyrics Designed to Expand Minds series is designed to be a sort of platform for sharing some of my greatest works with @adsactly readers.

Many of the verses I've shared and continue to share were written in collaboration with a friend of mine.

Others were written as solo projects and some made their way to the recording booth.

I've got another special piece for @adsactly readers today, this is a short verse which is designed for readers to 'sing-a-long'.

The background music I wrote it to has been embedded below. I dare you to give it a shot!

I really hope readers enjoy these and let me know what they think about them.

His heart beat to the sound of the rhythm it was like looking through a prism seeing a reflection in the distance. As we reminisce about good times, times he had with friends and ex girlfriends on weekends and the twists and bends the sticky situations your bound to face when growing up.

As a teen he didn't understand much and as taboo as it may be he thought to himself an older woman had a thing for me and the pressures of a young adolescent teen like a duck that needed to get his beak wet and learn the ways of love making to get respect from the chicks his own age with the tricks he learned.

It may have been taboo but it wasnt necessarily something he shouldn't do. She was willing to show a young boxer the ropes give an education and a bit of confidence a swag in his step and a dash of hope.

And tell me who doesn't want to be loved? And who hasn't had a moment of weakness when they were in lust?

And what could be more intimate than the act of making it with a person you trust.

Add another page to the book of growing up. Went on to greater persuits using what he learned he was a dollap of more cool, a dash of more smooth, he knew what to do, theoretically but a true first love was what he longed for secretly.

Sadly love is complicated the situations we find ourselves in can be truly devastating.

Someone you love but cant be with. It rips the heart and the soul apart of a kid who didn't know much to begin with other than the fact that he loved a girl and it broke his heart to realize there was not a world where the two could be together because their two paths had different fates.

The beating heart the soul and a part of the brain were at odds again. Advised a path with a better outcome but the only way to do that he'd have to sin.

Alone again, depressed not much to look at pretty much a total mess. For a few years his heart was shattered and cold as ice not sure if he could ever love again I urge you to look on him with pity and try to understand. Better not to focus on the pain rather focus on the game sure enough a hustler was what he became and insane the dollar bills were rollin in a constant struggle to refine and outline the rules of success in this line of business. If you didn't watch your back the snakes and sharks would get you wet with blood drippin down your neck. Pistol whipped, guts ripped from your body if you couldn't keep it in check.

To succeed he would have to overcome his basic nature not be consumed by his overwhelming greed. Power-trippin had led to men slippin that were much more notorious than himself. He'd have to keep demons at bay and on the shelf. Just make sure from what ya spent ya'd make a dividend. Managed c-notes properly so they could make friends. Tried to keep his head on straight if he made a mistake the price he'd have to pay was a grave felony and jealousy of those that remained free as far as their eyes could see it was no laughing matter for a guy with hopes and aspirations of university and a golden ladder.

Needed to remind himself it was just a means to an end. Pledged not to keep making the same mistakes he had already made again. Easier said than done when you live your life impulsively chase the henesse with odwalla. And while his mates chased girls he chased dollars a straight baller not giving the time of day to a dame that caught his eye hoping that he'd call her.

Everything was grey except the green the feeling of getting paid one step closer to the day he'd have it made. But when it came to ben and his friends when is it ever enough he found himself on a merry go round doing the same things over and over again. They claim the sweet chedder cheese is the stuff that makes dreams come true but a burden was all he ever knew. With the pigs close on the chase he decided they had him made and his days of getting paid this way were through looked at his stack more than enough laid out to do what he had intended to do. So with a heavy heart of love loss and a big bag of regrets and more pain resulting from his father's death it was time that he left a new term was starting a blank slate to paint like the artist that he knew he was.

Went on in malaise for over a thousand days washed away the pain with growlers and weed trying to heal his heart and soul making music for hours. The music soothed his soul and the pain eased as he aged and grew old. His eyes were dry with not a tear left to cry and outside it was a day he did recognize that the sun shined, that warmed him and gave him hope he made a pledge to change no more blunts and js to smoke. Graduated from university with a degree that gave him a chance to be a part of the corporate greed worked a string of companies to make his cheese suffocating him he couldn't breathe. Stuck in a rut he moved again and began to teach. And to teach you must learn to give more than you take if you really want to make a difference put aside selfish thoughts and enter a selfless state. Now a grown man with a mission not sure if his story helped but he thanks you for listening.



This piece was very fun to create. It just came so easily and really was a lot of fun to perform. Give it a try yourself and see if you can find a nice cadence for it.

No matter what, I'd very much like to know your thoughts and feelings about these, what you liked or didn't like, I'd love to hear your opinion either way!

I don't know if your purpose with this text is to share part of your life or if it is a fictional text, @zentalk. In any case, it seems to be a reflective story of initiation or formation, close to that genre that German romantics called "bildungsroman", which presents those facts that will make the sentimental education of someone. Greetings.

Yah, I wrote it that way so readers would just be left to guess. There's a lot in this one and it can be really overwhelming to process. If the lyrics were recorded and you could just relax and simply soak in the words / messaging that way, it would be a lot easier to feel it. After all the whole story is designed to stir your feelings up and maybe touch on similar events that have happened in your own life! Thanks as always for your feedback.

What kind of text is this? It doesn't have the style of a poem or a song, it looks like a story or an essay. The story of the first love, of sexual initiation, sometimes is not the best. When we are young we usually let ourselves be dazzled by the brightness, the beauty, and we let ourselves be manipulated or dragged by friends, circumstances. I believe that in order for the human being to mature, to acquire experiences, it is necessary that he lives, that he stumbles, that he looks for and obtains the weapons to be able to defend himself. I believe that many of us have fallen in love and have broken our hearts, however, every day we are betting on living that feeling. Greetings, @zentalk

Actually it is a song... But I could imagine its hard to visualize without hearing how the words are supposed to rhyme. There are good parts and bad parts to every childhood. I think lots of people have regrets about how they lost their virginity and the motives for losing it when they did may primarily come down to pressure. People need to make mistakes, its a part of our growth process. Learning from mistakes, making better choices, that is the definition of success. Most people can relate to a broken heart as well. So if I stirred any emotion in you, I've done my job well! Thanks!
