P.A.R.K Somewhere [Poem]

Ya life


it’ll definitely

deal you some strife

& that’s for sure

& on this road

discouragement’ll

make you feel deterred


but since we keeping up,

never stopping or U-Turns

I learned to

not only push through

but

utilize these two words


in this cold world

it'll give the kid

frostbite,

& even penalize

if you ever caught off offsides

but if you’re really stressed

thankfully

there’s a hotline

you can call out to a G

who won’t put you

on

the spotlight


promises you purpose

& that

you’ll be alright,

offers us assistance

anytime, like onside

life won’t stop for no one

since there ain’t no stop signs

or red lights

so when you overwhelmed,

pull over,

& P.A.R.K, slime



P, it equals Praise

& Put God first, no matter what

& tho you weary, kid

muster up,

‘cause that’s a must

You’ll face some distractions &

won’t always see a way

or an escape

from situations

but that’s where He starts, right?


A, equals

Acknowledge His goodness

at all times,

separate the good from the bad

like Apartheid

your problems may be harsh

tho you strong,

you may feel wronger

but

would you help

someone

if they constantly cry

bout

what’s NOT right?


R equals Remember your feelings,

even if scattered.

but cast em on ya boy

‘cause He cares for you

& you matter

His heart beats for you, baby

so trust me, it really shatters

when you going thru ya pains

but hang on,

there’s glory after


K, it equals

Keep on applying yourself,

you heard?

productiveness

in midst of a storm,

might sound absurd,

but,

you’re more than capable

Shawty,

& if you weren’t

then I’m pretty sure

your trials

would’ve BEEN

put you in the dirt


after you done parked

cut the engine on,

keep going,

something like this poetry piece,

just keep flowing,

better said than done

these days,

already knowing

but be sure

that I too

go thru some things,

that’s why I wrote it.


your underlying story

more potent, just like this poem

but get back on the road

& even if

it’s a slow start

everybody’s story’s

unique with its own art

but sometimes

you gotta PARK

(coming from a nigga

w/no car) 😁
