A Legend's Timeline
I am poverty
The boy on the street wearing dirty old clothes
Sleeping on the floor, slumbering somber woes
There is no hope
For the poor there is no hope
I am fortunate
Waves of risk call my very name
Save me! Save me! The kings calls out in pain
How glorious my luck
How glorious my gain
I am involved
He taught me power
He handed me wealth
And from this tower of opulence
I learned from good health
I am loved
Her hair, her eyes, her style
Stay awhile
Her laugh, her heart, her smile
My flower, stay awhile
I am corrupted
War can drown the soul
It will begin to destroy,
And you will begin to blame
Those very motives that kept you full
I am young
My journey has just begun
A dawn of adventure
A walk to remember
Why sit still when you have the freedom to run
I am king
Bow down to the throne
It’s my pleasure
There is not a better measure
This is a party that won’t ever be blown
I am the party
This is the time to dance forever
May we have this dance together?
Of course you’ll say yes
Insert coin here and pull the lever
I am a mystery
Behind shadows, my laws remain martial
The rumors are twisted
Fifty cents of truth, twenty-five of lies
Twenty-five of facts that are partial
I am empty
She stole my heart
I don’t know where to start
With clothes? Or fortune? Maybe fame?
Figured these magnets would attract her
But they only keep us further apart
I am lost
Shrewd are the colors that I have seen
In a boat with no mast
Stuck to the anchor of the past
The only hope for safety
Green
I am selfish
My fate should not be tampered
But I am the king
I make the birds sing
Why can’t I make church bells ring?
I am lonely
There are too many blind spots
In this estate
Too many holes in my heart
Not enough happiness served on my plate
She found me
Finally safe and sound
I can feel my heart
Pound, pound, pound
An indescribable passion
My patience has paid off
Finally
I am jealous
Things are different to me
To her I’m a benefit
To me, she’s my life
Thought I locked in her love forever
Didn’t know she gave away the key
I am prideful
They look at me with envy
I look at me with pity
The world revolves around all problems
Not just those who deserve to be witty
I am emotional
These mountains have no end
I’m on a rollercoaster
Sick with the adrenaline
Yet still screaming around the bend
I am scared
Creeping eyes watch all of my moves
Each and every solemn moment
That the lions sense a missing component
I hear my death as they sharpen their grooves
I feel normal
Around her my cup is full
Laying down free of the cold
She calms the mind of a frightened bull
The green light isn’t noticeable
I am comfortable
With love comes peace
And when I settle with my love
When the petal drops for my love
I have satisfaction and ease
I am passionate
Our love is sacred and to die for
A lover’s kiss comes from her lips
I feel her heart beat again
As she bites the apple at the core
I am secretive
My plan is working without a doubt
He doesn’t know a thing about
Our divine sincerity is clear
And only God has the power to strike fear
I am careful
It’s difficult enough to keep on trying
To keep our love in the shadows
To sleep through the night dreaming of meadows
Wondering why we haven’t begun crying
I am misinterpreted
Only I understand my intentions
She is my motivation
But when motivations proves unclear
I end up with unwanted tensions
I am angry
I’m speechless and tired of running away
He must know the truth and she must pray
To God of course for help on the way
The way to freedom at last by the bay
I am troubled
Everything has come down to the bone
A skinless dry decision
My faith in the past precision
Has failed me and left me alone
I am hopeful
Just trust me, just trust me
She will pull through
Find out exactly what she wants
Will she finally understand my view?
I am waiting
For the call of a flower
To ease my pain
To settle this matter
I sit. I wait. I wait.
I am a tragedy
My hope was my death
But at the same time
It was my life
And everything I believed in
Up until my very last breathe
I am legendary
However you may look
Whether I’m a king or a crook
The truth, life is a book
A chess match with only a rook
