What Could Be Never Became Possible
There Are Many Dreams That Fade Away
I believed in so many different thoughts growing up
What were my core beliefs you may ask?
They are based partly on cliche's
I heard and believed over my lifetime
A lot were passed down from my father
Right or wrong
Words I lived by and I learned to respect
If you do bad it will come back to haunt you
Remain calm in the face of danger
Keep your head while other people are losing theirs
If you tried your best it was good enough
Between right and wrong right will always prevail in the end
If someone treats you bad turn the other cheek
If you have nothing good to say, say nothing at all
Don't judge people because you wouldn't want to be judged
Treat other people the way you want to be treated
Nobody loves a quitter
If you can look yourself in the mirror every morning
Then you are living a good life
If you do wrong
You have to look over your shoulder for life
That is no way to live
Do the right thing at the right time then you don't have to worry
The list goes on
Nothing good happens when the lights go out
Don't cry over spilled milk
Some thoughts are more difficult to imagine let alone believe
I will rather be a lover than a fighter
Do it right the first time
Then you won't have to do it again
Don't worry about what other people are doing
Be concerned about yourself
You really don't know that person
Until you have walked in their footsteps
Then over time, my own ideas started to develop
Don't get involved in other peoples business
You will get the short end of the stick when it is over
Help people instead of hurting them
Then I began to believe some things that may not be true
Even though everyone that I know
In the same situation
Falls in that category
Don't get involved with someone
If they come from a broken marriage or a divorce
Mixed with things that I tried to prove false
But over long periods of time
I was wrong time and time again
You don't need a lot
Live a simple life and you have fewer worries
A fool and his money soon parts
You couldn't possibly know
You haven't lived long enough
You don't have enough life knowledge
Gambling doesn't pay
You have to earn your money
There is no easy way
When you look at this great melting pot of ideas and thoughts
It has got me this far
I haven't done too, too bad
I could be far worse
It kept me out of harms way
Then there are things that are just are
Nobody loves a tattle tail
Mind your own business
It is funny how our thoughts change us in all different ways
Hopefully to make us be the best version of ourselves
So in all this
I have had many dreams that I believed I could make possible
They fell quicker than the footwork of Muhammad Ali
For what reason
I am not so sure
I tried my best and it never worked out
I am always learning and will keep trying
There is something that comes with age
Not only grey hair and wrinkles
We may not only be losing our hair but our minds too
