From the Tree, I Branch...
My mind's mixed
with a mish-mash
of the mental's
memory n' myth...
so accustomed
to having been fed
a diet of an 'adjusted
'HIS-story' that bullshit
N' no I'm not cryin'
'bout denyin' the past bit
but I look back to get pass it
Eye, steady frame
hair triggered, my sights
that appear too far out
of flight's aim...
Yet, diligent as ever
to always stake claim
to my birth's right...
A branch off of the family's
tree, my name wasn't born
into riches, yet I pitch this
vyin' to being a Wise one,
I'm my momma's son
though the others may point
a finger at what I'm lackin'
I won't ever run...
and still, without parental guidance to provide us with hope n' possibilities, within 'crapshoot's reality because, who knows of the effect if when 'our fruit' bared, it'd be ripe when plucked from the tree?

Sir Poetik. . .don't know if the Misc. poem category was appropriate for this piece as it reads more Upbeat & incredibly Inspirational as well as Observational. . .Is there anything you can't write?. . .Genuine & Heartfelt speaking from within is the vibe in this piece. . .Enjoyed. . .~xo, Devlin.
Sweet, precious Devlin, my goodness
you're so wonderful! Yea I know the category doesn't jive much, but I've found people tend to overlook (my) 'positive inspiring' ink far more than
it seems as opposed to something
that piques their curiosity lol
Tricky? Maybe but the goal is to
inform, inspire, n entertain...by any means necessary lol muah! Appreciate
you bunches! :)

Stand tall and be proud like a great oak. Strong, powerful, beautifully written.
Just love the first stanza, from the message to the alliteration you are the master.
'My mind's mixed

I love the style in which this is written.
I love the
Eye, steady frame
hair triggered, my sights
that appear too far out
of flight's aim...
line, it seems emotional in indescribable ways.

The thing I love about trees is that while they're quite solid and stable, they're also very flexible...bending with the wind to allow it to move safely around them. That's kind of the feel I get in this one...I see you strong and proud but flexible. It's a lovely image. Very much enjoyed this. :)
