Original piece by ¿Who Diss?...peep it "To cocoon a mindset" (Ode to Kendrick) I remember I was conflicted...& to still be at 32, that's been my own life sentence/ Self awareness wasnt possible due to full indulgence of my short-comings, self-admitted... Being committed to nothing beyond the daily tasks, takes a toll on one's daily living... Short-selling myself at the tapered line of my youth's finish line, the end of 20, the start of 30, im short-winded & already turned a blind eye, the more I lie... As in lie down, lie dormant...& yup, lie as in tell my mind that i'm still that spry, alive & ig-no-rant.... So is life like a pair of turn tables? Do U learn ur cues to catch the loops & transition smoothly when open & able?... Into the next phase/stage/decade/maze we maneuver thru like the adaptable creatures we evolve into, eventually...unless we're still cocooned, mentally/ Breaking bad was more than a show title, its the metaphor we gotta aspire to when the brain goes idle/ Escaping the cycle is vital, cuz when our spirit follows, its the most bitter pill for the physical to swallow/ Dying on the inside from spritual cyanide, eyes grow glassy & wide, but life's not the one to criticize... ...cuz its all up to us. That win, that loss, yes, it’s only human that we be flawed, But our Settlements spread like sediment, it covers our trails until we can't see where we strayed from it all... Life is us, us is life, day, night, lows, high, they all go by...we just keep the memories, the lessons, & hopefully the insight... Cuz u, me, we will all reach that time...almost past too young to die, on the brink of too old to try... so we can still dream to live, I see i still aint give it my best try...or do i let my mind's cocoon shrivel up & die...I'll decide. Peace to K. Dot
