food for thought ;; barriers .

find yourself at this barrier,
no left, no right .
just straight forward .
shortcuts, rarely are what they seem to be .
choices, determine our compass in life .
you may sit back like,
i got this, tight, on lock -
but continue to glance over your shoulder,
as if that doors' unlocked .
insecure .? insecure .
you repeat, as if you cant see, your in-
securities .
only you, know the tempo,
of your own beat, see . .
time waits for no man, nor woman -
so breathe deep -
as you take your step into choices, my friend .
your life may not end -
your destiny .?
. . well, that depends .
peers may tell you, be careful .
you heed, yet an elderly may say the same -
but nahh they couldn't conceive -
the intentions . . the aim,
or, final destination .
"he/she is just a hater", you say . .
a motivation .
wood for your fire, you stray away -
that's all fine and dandy .
but confide in those words,
constructive criticism is never unhandy .
even comments toward how you dress .
image is everything - whether professional,
or simply when you tryin to flex .
a prestigious employer, cannot, and will not -
hire you, straight off the block .
you gots'ta be crazy .
im not implyin' folks lazy -
but the presentation thats brought to those eyes,
seems careless, there's no room to improvise .
you feel me .?
its the choices .
those everyday decisions that seal the deal .
its alright to have fun,
but keep in mind tho . .
not every shortcut leads through,
to the right road .
yeahh, it may be tight tho -
farther down that road . .
you gon' be walkin on that ity-bity tight rope .
dont depend on anyone to help you -
human nature always tells you
look out for number one,
cause no one else can re-direct you -
to that path of righteousness .
cause at those times, you might just miss -
the lesson,
which isn't mentioned .
thas sumthn you just cant dismiss .
. . .
alright,
your doin great .
times past, no more mistakes .
dont forget to live life -
go out, order a steak .
that time is surly comin
when you can sit back and laugh
cause now you know for sure . .
no barriers are left in your path .
