Whaddup, social community. This baller’s had a few revelations, like signs from above. Bear with me now, as I sing like a dove. My life is happy and full, and I’m feelin’ the love!!
REFORMED BALLER, LOVE ZONED
I stand alone,
A strong tower,
Needing no support
While life comes at me
With all of its twists and turns
Leaving me breathless and desolate
I stand alone, bruised and battered
Shielded by apathy and indifference
Cold as a glacier, empty
That starts to melt
With the heat given off from those
Gathering around—hands open
Offering love and friendship
I didn’t know I was lacking
Until it was absent.
I lie here broken
Cracked wide open
Craving what I once avoided
Welcoming embraces and kindness
Waving a white flag in the face of Love,
Wanting to have, rather than to have not.
