Rising In Reverse


Sunrise.

Sunset.

Goodbyes.

Regrets.

Stand up.

Fall down.

I’ve been Lost.

Finally I’m Found.

Move forward.

Fall back.

Left behind the lies.

Embrace and face facts.

Speak Truth.

Hear Fiction.

Always talking.

Never listen.

Futures fade.

The past remains frozen.

Some doors are locked & others stay open.

Some give up to easy.

Some hang on too hard & keep hoping.

Pick a path at the crossroads.

I’d rather pave my own.

After hours.

Before minutes.

Life is a puzzle with missing pieces in it.

Even if you had the whole picture would you really see it?

Could you really see it? Or is your perspective obstructed by the box in which you dwell.

Really? You think you’re free?

You can call it a house but it’s the same as a cell to me.

Your mortgage is the warden. Your neighborhood is the cell block.

The only difference is your prison is permanent and located in your blind spot.

Money is funny. You think it matters how much you got?

What’s it worth when you’re out of time? A whole lot…

Of nothing.

Yet it’s something.

You traded your life for it and some walls to surround you while you chase…

The cheese with all the rest running in the rat race.

Check out the sad truth while wearing a happy face.

A bitter pill.

The aftertaste.

Keep it down. Throw it up.

Stay steady. Hold still.

Calm down. Hold up.

The good news is that the rat race it isn’t real.

Bad news is that it’s a hamster wheel.

And you’ll keep running because it’s all you know.

Afraid to take a leap of faith, just jump off, no looking back just close your eyes & let go.

From Dead Days are born New Nights.

Sacrifice spawns Sunshine.

Mercy melts in the Moonlight.

I’ve been Remembered.

We will all find ourselves Forgot.

It’s better to have had then to have not.

Said some has been to a never was.

Unknown… notorious…

Underrated. Destined for greatness, Godlike & glorious…

My story and your story.

It’s all the same it’s boring. It’s history.

So it Begins.

&,Eventually it Ends.

It’s real. It’s fake. It’s fiction. It’s all pretend.

If it lives. It must die.

You can’t quit. If you don’t try.

To see the truth you have to hear lies.

You have to fall down if you plan to rise.

You have to start somewhere if you plan to finish first.

To be blessed you have to feel like you’ve been cursed.

Can’t go forward if you’ve never been parked or reversed.

You can’t know the gospel without the church.

You can’t pass the test if you haven’t been tested or tried.

You can’t right your wrongs and still be right at the same time.

But you can be a hypocrite & oblivious to the contradictions.

You can run from your pryamid of problems piling up with consequences.

Instead of judging. Try forgiveness.

Instead of speaking. Try to listen.

Instead of putting someone down, try to help them up, use your life to make a difference.

Go beyond being better & set an example like a role model.

Be a leader people can be proud to follow.

As today transforms into tomorrow.

How it started doesn’t matter it’s always been about the ending - be it a novel, a film, or a song regardless of genre or runtime.

Inspiration is everywhere if you just look for it, for example I just found mine in the sunrise. 🌅

I’ve always been a writer. I consider this area to be a living rough draft of the miscellaneous monstrosities, melted/molded memories, and maniacal/magical mysteries of madness manifested by my pen. Mostly, it is just a way to preserve stuff while also potentially gaining some kind words/cryptocurrency tips from random people who will never know how cool it makes me feel when they like this chaotic conundrum of content.
