My words will be immortalized like my soul
While my flesh & bag of bones just gets old
I compose poetic scrolls to create a legacy
Left behind, for folks to find, that wanna remember me
For those who care to see poetry in motion
A timeline of rhymes about my life's commotion
Magic potions that helped me keep focus during my journey
Persevering the ups and downs and rounds fought versus hypocrisy
Lyrically conveying joys and pains; sunshine and rain
Doing all that I can to withstand and remain sane
Staying in my lane, destination unknown
Praying that one day I'll get my Granny on the phone

Hey Crimsin,
Thanks for your kind words. My Granny passed 7 1/2 years ago. I'm just hoping to be with her again in the afterlife once my time expires here.

Damn, Sir Damon
How you cover the transitory nature of life and the power of leaving behind our knowledge for those who may never meet us, plus throw in that wistful memoriam for Granny?
You definitely blend messages masterfully with your ink

Brother, this was one those that hit hard too. Those rhymes are on point and the message "scrolls to create a legacy"! Damn. I think that's what we should all strive for, because after we're all gone, decades into the future, these words will still be around.
Outstanding verse.
