Claiming all your life of the magnificense you would bring.
If only you could conger up the courage to spread out those wings
^your gift is vividly apparent in these two lines......felt like you were talking to me......maybe you meant your own struggles with your work but this hit really close to home.......the artist who says they are good but never back it up.......the emcee who won't go on stage.......procrastination at it's best......very nicely written....

So are you really a caged bird, or some one with a lost soul, to sell?
Your sympathies leaking through every crease or do you wear the mask all too well?
have you ever read "i know why the cage bird sings"? because this reminded me of that book.......you have a similar writing style to maya angelou sometimes......which is of course a good thing....she is one of my favorite poets.......my inspiration of sorts....she as well as you, have the ablility to be eloquent without using big words.......dopeness

Is the little hand ticking backwards against the "acheivements" of your life?
Can you honnestly say you've completed enough of the puzzle to suffice?
^sorry but this was just.......beautiful.....kind of a "do you really think you've lived life" sort of messag and an excellent way to end an awe inspiring piece.................great drop ma.....keep writing jewels and we will continue to hold them precious....


respect...
