Through These Trying Times

Ever see your thoughts unraveling?
In another hemisphere traveling
Every good deed can be unseen
While bad sticks out like fire lit kerosene
I am getting flustered
While everything’s clustered
I lay here in these sleepless nights
Panicked, upset by the frights
Sick of these spiritual fights
Too scared to switch the lights
These words get trite
Don’t make them less right
Through these trying times
I cling to these lines
They’re all one of a kind
These are the thoughts on my mind
As I rest and unwind
Writing these strange rhymes
While I still feel sublime
How many damn times can I rhyme in these lines
Before I feel a peace of mind
Through these trying times

Bros are telling me to stop stressing
While girls are far from my blessing
Arrogance is the new appeal
Humility is much too real
I’m a nice guy but I’m not a fool
I watch you sneak a drool at the fools
Who are nothing more than tools
Looking for another trophy to rule
They want nothing more than surface value
While he sits there motionless from the valium
All I ever wanted was somebody to rely on
Sick of girls playing me like a damn con

A sense of contentment never lasts
And bitter memories keep creeping back
Too much for you to love, not enough to hate
Why must you go, please, can’t you stay?
Through these trying times
I cling to these lines
They’re all one of a kind
These are the thoughts on my mind
As I rest and unwind
Writing these strange rhymes
While I still feel sublime
How many damn times can I rhyme in these lines
Before I feel a peace of mind
Through these trying times

Liars dominate this landscape
Making it so hard to make
A name for my stake
In this cold place
Of dissent
My descent
To madness is complete
The sadness which makes me weak
The cycle repeats
As do these beats
Seems I can't take the heat
Life's a game of trick or treat
All about who you meet and greet
So take a seat, let me rap a feat
I'll be wanted more than stars in cleets
Regardless, my mind is a mess
Too much stress, not enough rest
Not enough sleep for my weary chest
Lest I be successful with these teary tests
Through these trying times
I cling to these lines
They’re all one of a kind
These are the thoughts on my mind
As I rest and unwind
Writing these strange rhymes
While I still feel sublime
How many damn times can I rhyme in these lines
Before I feel a peace of mind
Through these trying times
