Life goes on

We lift our chins and mend our bonds.

We enlighten our spirits

and then pretend to be strong

and hopefully after long

the pretending will be gone.

I suppose that life goes on,

we just gotta adapt and respawn.

A matter of right and wrong

belongs to us moving along

living beyond what’s far gone.

Paralyzed on the floor

how earth could I respond

At a loss for words

just stuck upon the song

Titled “Staying Alive”

Irony had dawned

and risen upon the horizon

leaving me as a pawn

questioning his being.

While being in a state of disorientation

thoughts in condensation

but void of contemplation.

What is going on

What is this unforgiving sensation?

Losing someone you love

is such a confusing situation

asking all the questions

you don’t wanna take it into consideration.

The denial sets in

that comes without hesitation

but the truth leaks in your doubts

and then begins all the aching

both physical and spiritual,

emotions are lost with your patience.

You can’t pretend not to feel

but you cannot feel, you hate this;

But there’s no way to escape this

You just have to face this.

He’s gone and his name was Brayden,

a noble man with no patience

Since day one of school

we ran together through our races

you always finished first

now hold my seat I know you’re waiting

One day we’ll be together

but for now my dreams are taping

I will take all your stories

and I’ll make spin-offs for the ages

and when my time comes

I’ll be remembered for my pages

I’ll be a billionaire

with a smile that was contagious

This life here is outrageous

Shout to my brother Justin

Stew finna make his pro debut

it was only yesterday

when we were ballin out brand new

sweating rocks at the park
