Poet writes with a broken heart
and finds truths universal
while his life is torn apart
a reluctant true Apostle
Your Poem strikes truth in all situations
External Factors, yes they happen
more important though your own reactions
In your control - you're not just rappin'
When you tell your broken heart
the person I loved never existed
The simulation of love broke apart
In Reality the other one never missed it
Your attitude can change your world
problems become opportunities
through your perceptions whirled
released from your importunities
All understanding is bought
Often understanding
Your Poem strikes truth in all situations

In your control - you're not just rappin'
When you tell your broken heart
the person I loved never existed
The simulation of love broke apart
In Reality the other one never missed it
Your attitude can change your world
problems become opportunities
through your perceptions whirled
released from your importunities
Love is free but it can't be forced,
that's the basis of theology
Sometimes it's just mistaken
that's because of biology
All understanding is bought
at a personal cost
you balance your learnings
you balance your learnings
against what you have lost
Often understanding
doesn't feel like gain
when you find love is wrong
when you find love is wrong
there's a world of pain!

to your own prose of self - reflection
My words were given in sympathy
Been there, done that; have empathy!

Robert L was the muse for this one
I didn't start till last month the spark
ignited now I write until I'm done
