Memories
I hold memories so dear
Remember few years ago
How come you can gain so much confidence
And every little thing you can get crushed like an egg shell
At least at this point you should have passed that
Get over yourself
Why do you seem to precondition yourself to hate yourself
I know my worth
And it is not great
But my mission has greatness within
What is this
Some scene from Star Trek
I don’t watch that show anymore
They went too far
Like lots of people in my life
Battlestar Galactica
Remember that
Remember when you thought you were going to be an astronaut
Remember your strive for innovation
And dreaming
And being more contempt
Maybe so
You haven’t been hitting the gym
You haven’t worked enough on that script
Nearly as hard
Many plans and you got this
But you got to man up
And stop everybody on their tracks
When they think you are a child
Some too nice
Overgrown Child
People pleaser
Saving lustful self desires
You are selfish
But have quality of nobility
Because you think your feelings matter too much
When humanity needs you right now
Find happiness
Or actually be useful to society
Why can’t there be both
Sometimes there is
But you got to chase what is real
And you have to be true and real to yourself
Sometimes things are tough
Troubled times create nobility
You’ve been sheltered maybe too much
Or childhood was tough
But you need to light your life up with a fuse
And do what God wants you to do
What you are supposed to do
Stop being so artificial
Sweetners are bad for you
Because they have a bunch of chemicals but feel all fake
You want to be fake
Go ahead
Or chase greatness
God forgive me
Memories
Nostalgia
Club Penguin
Prince of Egypt
Collectibles
Simple things got people to dream
Remember Pokémon walkie talkies
Or baseball cards
Stamps and coins
Comic books
Action figures
Myth Busters and Invention USA
Sitting back Electric Guitar and attempting music
Skateboards and Scooters and mean neighborhood girls
Sega
Gameboy
Nintendo DS
Hey, yeah you
You like some of that
The plug-ins
N-Gage, Zone, Meccano, Hasbro HyperScan
Ben 10, Cartoon Network
Shows sent me mixed signals
What, were they subliminal
Why am I so weird right now
Remember the late 90s
Early 2000s
Tie-dye
Malls were fun
Even though I was a huge germaphobe
Even being embarrassed
Or feeling ashamed
But lots of cool memories still
Titanic
Remember when Céline Dion wasn’t so polical
Josh Groban
Michael Buble’
Luciano Pavarotti
Il Divo
Andrea Brocelli took off
Reruns of Rocky
And GI Joe
Sesame Steet
Leapfrog
Bro, remember 90s rock
Parents didn’t want you listening to Aerosmith
Or Green Day
Or Sum 21 and Everclear
Man, Everclear was so underrated
Goo Goo Dolls
The Journey reunion
Deep Purple was still widely played
Guitar Center was more popular
So was GameStop
Remember Survivor the band
American Online
Myspace
K-Mart
Blockbuster
Going into Toys R US
Sea Monkeys and Test Tube Aliens
KB Toys and EA Games, and book stores
RadioShack
Circuit City
Gushers' commercials
RC mods and sneakerhead culture emerged
Stop the intrusive thoughts
Forgot what I was gonna say
Forgive me
Memories
Everything was amazing before 9/11 and culture wars
And even remember Alabama
Michigan’s earlier years
Fam in Egypt hit different
Church hit different
You are special
Different
No
People seemed way kinder
Remember Kinder surprises
You were way into candy
Clouding your mind
Thought I could run races
Sing Elvis
Even MJ
I was way too chubby
But kids were too much still
Teenage years went downhill
I am different and special
But at the same time not
My mind worked different
Esoteric
Ruby
Georgia
Rosa, what is this
Boxing dreams
And YMCA
That Village People song
Remember Big Brothers Big Sisters
And afterschool programs
Bro, you need to volunteer more
You have a dark soul sometimes
Look how far your family went
And they always gave you the silver spoon
Both figuratively and literally
Mind is clouded
Complicated
Hey don’t get too dark
Listen memories are this and that
Intrusive thoughts go away
At the end of the day
You think too much
And overthink
And expect yourself to have time to grow
Dad don’t be angry
Don’t scream
Don’t be disappointed
Grandma don’t distract me
Don’t worry me
Don’t confuse me
Don’t talk to me
I’m not some child anymore
You are worried
I know things are hard
But you got to let go with the pain and drama
And stop acting like everybody should care
And start acting like everybody is gonna light you up
You are here to survive
And move from one place to the next
The world isn’t just
Or noble
But you can push it further towards that
Slow down the destruction
Rather than indulging in self satisfaction
Self destruction
The opposite of growth
Or self-edification
You are doing much better
But look at yourself in the mirror
Fam, is this really where you want to go
And be
You are obsessed with patterns
God loves you
We have free will
Stop with the indulgence of pity and pain
You are of nobility
Part of a royal priesthood
I know you have your arms open
Eyes closed
Hoping for change
But life is a tragedy
And you can be the light onto the world
The happiness onto others
The kindness to the human race
Memories
You got this
It is okay
Stop thinking of every little word
Complicating life
It is okay
Memories
You got this
