Breaking the Limits

There's only so much

I can say with twenty-six letters.

I try not to touch

all the wounds that could never better.

Some things are best

to be left alone all the time

and no matter how blessed

we are problems will still arise.

So give me a second

and a little longer rope.

I'm tired of reflecting my reflection

as I see it. It's hard to cope

with the thoughts inside my head

that continue to torment

the brain that's half-dead

and looks more like an accident.

I got a few more lines 

to spare in my quest

'cause I keep seein' these signs

that tell me I'm the best.

You wanna know what's funny

about the signs I see?

The people who already

put them up on the street

are the same people who

continuously try

to degrade all the true

accomplishments I abide by.

But I'm not a bad guy,

even if my brain is sorta awry.

Some days I barely get by

on all the different things that I try

but now a days I tend to rhyme

the same themes over and over so why

do I feel like I'm actin' so shy

when all I do is let bombs fly

and almost every time they're a bulls-eye.

I'm sure you would easily agree

that I'm one step from a catastrophe

and if I scream they'll call me a banshee

because I'm banned to a certain degree

from trying to exercise my emcee

talent that I've displayed already.

And if any of you people saw me

become the person it's possible for me to be

you might never be absentee

from the shows I put on regularly.

I regularly put on a parade

that's more like an arcade

and is close to a charade

except it's not full of shade

and continues to blockade

all the feelings that are betrayed

by the people who crusade

to destroy me in the shade

where nobody could have weighed

all the terrors showed towards me.

I need a hearing aid

because I hear a fire brigade

coming to put out the fire I portrayed

in every possible way

while I continued my tirade

towards the people who left unexplained

all the crimes put out to the dames

and everyone else who was unmade

by their critical critiques that were paid

in the worst ways possible. They swayed

all the hope and desire that stayed

and turned into hope which was arrayed

throughout their lives as they played.

I just wrote those twenty-three lines

and each of them matched and perfectly rhymed.

I guess that makes me the Michael Jordan

of putting together lines out of boredom.

Just imagine if this poem was made

entirely because I was bored of sittin' in shade

under the tree that continually gave

me more inspiration every day.

So what could I do if I really tried

to make a masterpiece directly from my mind?

Could I change the world with just a couple lines?

Or is this poem just another one of the signs

that tell me I'm on the road to success?

Could I do better or is this my best?

Am I gonna improve 

and work on my groove

that I got back into

not too long ago too?

I bet you the world

that one of these days

my flag will be unfurled

and I'll be swept into a haze.

I'm about to transform

this world beyond the skies

because this lightning storm

is just starting to rise.

Wow you have no idea how much I enjoyed reading this. It had me smiling and giggling like an idiot the whole time. I have to say that its very attractive, in that when you first look at the piece, the way you've shaped the paragraphs is simply beautiful. There were small grammatical errors in between but that didn't affect the meaning and beauty of this poem. And I could really relate to the awesome message. Wondering what are my limits and even if I have any. I could do anything and everything, or just next to nothing. The rhyming scheme was also amazing. I was just reading along and waiting for it to falter but it never did. Great job . stay inspired.
