J. R. ERDEG: Poetic Atonement

J. R. Erdeg

I'm 20 from Melbourne. This blog is inspired by the great leaders of the past, present and future who stood against injustice and succeeded. All I wish to do if for you to see my vision, for a better future for not only our generation but also for future generations to come.
HiiiPower is a concept from Kendrick Lamar which is simply all about standing above all the negativity that's happening in the world today and challenging everything that everybody has told us to believe in from the day we were born.
Simply, you become independent from the "system" and society. You essentially free yourself from the chains that we are mentally enslaved in. In order to succeed today, in order for a better tomorrow, we must all come together and learn from one another. We must question everything that plagues our society in a negative way, find solutions and together make a change. But we first be the change ourselves before we help change others and than slowly we can help change the world.
"If you do not stand for something, you will fall for anything." —Malcom X
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, concerned citizens can change world. Indeed it is the only thing that ever has." —Margaret Mead

Poetic Atonement

7 months ago my life changed. This is a testament to that moment in a crowd of people that I felt this was my next stage in my life.

Life is about moving forward and moving in a direction that isn't necessarily the easiest route to go. I took a chance on life and I ran with it. I wanted answers to my situations that I've endured over the last few years but everything has its place, every person has their position.

People change like the seasons but everything, everything happens for a reason.

You put up with everything i've ever done.
I made mistakes and if i'm honest, i'm not the only one.
I wasn't able to be clean from the moment.
I'm not on drugs but right now this is my atonement.

If you love someone, you would love them even if they had hurt you.
Expression is the art so I let my words speak to you.
They tried to take me away and throw away the key.
I wanted to be left alone and let be.

Life is hard when you can't get it right.
But as long as I keep trying, i'll be alright.
Life can be stolen in one night.
But this is the night I'm brought back to life.

To this day, I've written my name so you wouldn't forget it.
I wrote about my life so you'd know I never forgot about it.
I never wanted to be the same man that the world knew.
I wanted to take it back and change it too.

To travel is to live,
But what am I if my heart is racing yet I'm not breathing.
Does it mean I'm alive?
Never in the same position twice.
I just want to get it right, not lie about it twice.

Poetically I'm in love,
With the world and a million other girls.
I just couldn't lie about how I thought of you.
What is love if I'm not with you?

What if life took away everything?
Would it still mean everything to have nothing?
I guess we may never know,
Until its over and the sun sets and it begins to snow.

This isn't about a relationship,
I've had too many that have sunk like the Titanic ship,
Its the love I had for where I was going,
What I had been trying for years to be doing.

I gave everything to where I was going,
I gave it all up just to be chasing,
Beautiful nightmares or ugly dreams,
I'm trying to get money, I'm trying to make that cream.

Now this is my time,
Time to make my life mine,
Free from the chains,
Now I'm free to dance upon the rain.
