As Time Flies

A poetic rap about growing up and memories

Friends come and go but never the memories even as our dreams unfold,

So many stories untold,

so many faces I see on a regular basis unknown cuz you see I’m still undergoing the realization of what I'm fully capable of knowing

Yeah...

What I’m capable of knowing or realizing what opportunities the world's been showing, cuz as time flies we seem to become more alive realizing a dream that honestly never dies

All I’m saying is at least never let your motivation cease.

Cuz the greatest test don't always seem as if it's the best but that's life so I guess for now it's just gonna have to suffice

We started off in elementary school man did those dreams make us feel like one big fool,

Then we got to middle school, our dreams became a lil more literal and realistic,

We got to High school and every dream seemed more like statistic than real-world-s**t.

So I won't be the only person to admit it...

but I lost myself for a-little-bit,

As the world spins so does the clock hands so I think it's about time we cut the crap and finally figure out where the world-stands figure out where our morals-land and look back at all the friends we once had....

think about all the memories before our lives turned bad,

Turned stressful...

Cuz we all seem like we're trying to think big but it seems our heads-full,

till we get a push or a pull that tells us which way we need to go...

Show us which paths to take,

show us what's really at stake,

and give us an opportunity to make gold dreams that uplift our self esteem    

We all can't be superman but we have to remember even at first superman didn't have any big plans until later in his life span and even he has a kryptonite,

that sometimes makes it hard-to-fight

But he has yet to be beat,

much like you and me

cuz’ our lives are still worth living

Now one last thing,

I’d like you to all take the time to thank your few closest friends for the support and great memories they've been giving...

Who help make this small world a better place that we live in.

End

Author's Note

I know there is a lot of controversy about rap out there, weather it is poetry or not. I hope this sets a good example for rap.

Hello young frnd, your first but not the last work I'm reading and reviewing... I think you have mentioned so many details into this poem, which is very important in a free verse poetry... A free verse poem is an opportunity to express more briefly what we feel and you have achieved that in this poem quite brilliantly... The memories of childhood and from there on to elementary school, and so on is quite excellently presented here... Your message in the poem is very wise... I loved how you used highlighted some words with bold fonts... Over all terrific write in terms of the concept and the message also for the structure of the poem...

Sincerely

Wow! I am a big fan of rap music actually and I had thought that it was similar to rap before I read that it was supposed to be! So great job! You're poetry is so beautiful though. I absolutely love your description of growing up and facing the reality and the power of goals and dreams. Very inspiring. Lovely work :)
