They Call Me #Holmes #openmic lyrical interpretation "Making something beautiful from something so broken (C) 2019

Well, it may have been that fish that got away (that romance you didn't pursue). It may have been that financial opportunity you didn't take advantage of. It may have been__________.

You should get the point by now.
What's left to do then? Wallow in self-pity? Or do you keep living life to the fullest degree?

My life could have been...

Recently I performed a, 'What would be labeled as Spoken Word, piece. These things stated above is what I meant by the lines Gave up before it happened so now I'm flagging for a ride hoping that whatever it was will come back again. 

I was also making reference to those performers and artists who give up thinking they should be further along in the process of success. What is that success? Could it be like a high school popularity contest?

I been doing this writing thang since I was around six years old. Been doing music seriously for about five years now. I've gone through the falling in love with myself for creating to the hating you because you don't dig what I do, the 'What's the point of any of this?'

Someone in their mid forties who is going at #openmics at a steady rate. wonders if it's childish. He was too afraid to do it in his teens. Watched in awe as his friends, at the time, played so effortlessly. He kept thinking they had something he could never attain. Now some of em died, some of em went married and family, some went to the bottle and the drugs.

I'll keep going now. Does that mean salvaging what ever I can...In doing so am I wasting time.

Till then I'll take whatever's left and make it mine. 
Shaking hands with the hands of fate. You're that angel whispering in my ear telling me that "I'm blessed by my mistakes." 

Some on in AA once said "Even if you make mistakes who are you to say they are mistakes." Contemplate that a while in accepting life on life's terms.

One day something happened. I keep telling God my plans. God keeps laughing. 

Told people the truth but they think I'm jokin' Tears in the ink, trapped by what you think. Told people the truth but they think I'm jokin'. I'll stay here making something beautiful out of something so broken.
