  • BE EXPENSIVE

    This word came as a hit  to my soul,             

      without knowing why so, 

        been stuck  in the hole, 

          with nothing to hold, 

            thoughts  flying through the mind,

              but able to caught one to behold. 

     

                It came as a pure whisper, that save me through a loophole. 

           In my distressed moment I heard the  word

    saying..

              " BE EXPENSIVE."

     

    Been begged to be loved, 

    not minding the heartbreak  it cause, 

    giving more of myself and still end up with  less. 

     

    Trying to be cheap and forgot i was

    brought with an expensive price. 

    In reality it becomes so important to use,

    in order to get mine dues 

    minding not the laughter of mine foes

    and tried not to be fooled. 

     

    I refuse to be traped by their slavery rules, 

    because i was a lion  that has to roar  with the flight to soar. 

    the enemies moans and still end up to groans.

    It seems very clear knowing my worth, 

    and stop been hurt, 

    Been valuable and not been vulnerable,  

    not considering the nut  that was hit in the court, 

    as far i was in the path that brings impact 

    i have nothing to patch. 

    Ending the cruelty of mockery was by been EXPENSIVE. 

     

    To be EXPENSIVE does not only talk more about money,fame, popularity and materials things, 

    But more of your thinking, worth, value, character, dignity and integrity.   

    with all this, i sum all in quality. 

       And in clarity, I droped my pen. 🖊
