Lately, I just haven’t felt like writing about sports. I’ve stopped covering games and just don’t have the passion to write about what everyone knows. The Yanks suck and have zero heart while the Mets are the polar opposite and resilient as ever evidenced by last night’s eighth inning comeback over the Phillies. Kudos to them as they haven’t played like dead men walking as opposed to what’s taken place in the Bronx in what will be a very quiet and sad chapter closing the only Yankee Stadium.
One of these days, I’ll get motivated again and give everything and more. I just don’t want to half ass it. For now, another lyrical writeup waxing poetic which is how it’s gone lately.
“Somewhere”

by Derek Felix AKA D Flex
Somewhere you stand all alone
Smiling and laughing in your new home
You’re one of those cuties I used to know
And there ya are in your glory fully grown
Someone who’s clearly in touch with herself
And doesn’t need all sorts of wealth
Just fun, happiness and lots of health
Which explains why you smile even by yourself
Cause you’ve got it going on in more ways than one
That’s your beauty and why you’re in the zone
Nobody can ever rain down telling ya you’re done
Until you decide what you want cause you finally won
This is your entertaining kinda game
That keeps ‘em guessing in your domain
Cause lately you’ve been all in my brain
A couple of years later and still not the same
Somewhere you are like a shooting star
Living it up way too far
Driving your fancy car
While getting songs played on the guitar
You attract ‘em like magnets who want to stick like glue
Fantasizing of doing it every which way to you
While you call out as their wishful dreams ring true
But there you stand grinning cause they ain’t nothing but fools
You’re playing them better than ya ever had before
Yet they still get down on their knees begging for more
The next victim quickly knocks on your door
Then leaves knowing it meant nothing to ya
You always were smooth like butter on a roll
No wonder I wanted to take ya against the pole
At the time I didn’t know it was all just for show
And here we are later and it’s still taking a toll
Somewhere you stand in all your glory
While I ponder what’s been your story
Has it been everything and more without fury
Or is there something I didn’t envision making it blurry
Only you aren’t giving any warning signs
Instead just looking as good as ever feeling fine
Relaxing and taking it all in while sipping wine
If only God knew how much I wanted to make ya mine
Maybe it wouldn’t be so hard if I’d played along
Then perhaps I’d be hearing a different song
Instead the same tune plays in my head reminding me what went wrong
It’s why I still look around wishing for a new dawn
Finally there’d be a way to make things right
All these months later you’d still look out of sight
With the moonlight shining down on your face making you bright
Lighting up the night making me want to take you home tonight
Somewhere you’re sitting in your room
Cool and calm as ever in full bloom
Knowing full well in your world there’s never any doom
Where every night is perfect with a full moon
You always had such a nice way
Giving off the right vibes and knowing what to say
But there I stood older and confused on any day
Studying and admiring your eyes which could make it May
Enjoying the flirtation and that reassuring pretty smile
Always wishing I could stay for a while
Fast forward and here I am going mile after mile
Longing to run into you walking down an aisle
Knowing full well I already had my chance
But never really took it due to circumstance
Why does my conscience always take this sorta stance
Can still see you smiling and getting down while ya dance
Somewhere the party goes on
Somewhere it’s happening till the break of dawn
Somewhere you’re the center of it so well known
Somewhere I sit with my mind wandering totally withdrawn
Smiling and laughing in your new home
You’re one of those cuties I used to know
And there ya are in your glory fully grown
Someone who’s clearly in touch with herself
And doesn’t need all sorts of wealth
Just fun, happiness and lots of health
