Phenomenal goals meet rejection with methodical woes,
Or topical prose on feelings of abdominal growth,

Unstoppable ghosts haunting all their probable foes,
So, out the window is where canonical goes,

Ideological crows peck the eyes from fanatical souls,
Recap and slow the carnage down to a tap of the toe,

Failure happens, you know, boasting irascible holds,
Battered and cold, sign up for impractical roles,

I tactically dove into the pit of misery's depths,
And came to rest on a plateau built of hate and unrest,

The pattern of death scripted on a plaque in my chest,
Rejects matters of jest, present the latter in text,

A patter of steps, down the hall, gather, infect,
Laughter can vex a feeble mind, remodel the best,

Scattering less innocence than we claim to possess,
I'd rather impress who I am than prattle and guess,

So lather your chest with blood from a spatter of life,
Saddle your strife with a win in a battle for right,

Gamble away all the money you can't take when you die,
Ramble for days never fall from the ladder of pride,

Go or stay, love your ways, how they happen and why,
Work or play, sin or pray, even happy men cry,

A turbulent ride is promised when we open our eyes,
But burdens can slide aside by invoking our minds,

Hoping to find peace awoken, keep a toe on the line,
Holding a sign: Depression is a passage of time,

A ravaging crime, a poke with a ravishing dime,
Complication is causing all our lavish designs,

So if the damage we've exacted isn't ever defined,
We'll be sandwiched by the sickness, eternally blind,

Real success relates to the state of the grind,
So the message that I'm stating is to never rewind.
