Poem
I remember back when I was young. I was a difficult kid who spoke outta tongue. Now I got a song that has to be sung. Wish I could go back when the school bell rung. When you age it's only about money. Regret not going because, my nose was runny. What bills is next the cable, or internet? Get my school work done then I'll be set. There's so much on my plate no free time. Rainy days we would play in mud and grime. These words and, dreams are all that's left. Gloating about my jawline, my unique cleft. Now I worry if I will survive another rent? I'm dead broke and the moneys spent. At least I can be happy inside this mind. Don't regret the childhood can never rewind. My bodies unhealthy need to take my med. From inside this stomach. My kidney bled. No more soda and take away the beer. Dad needs stick around to hold my boy dear. Oh how I hate being trapped inside the prisoners den. For you my son I'll always win. Oh how I hate being trapped inside the prisoners den. For you my son I'll always win. I'll shall never fall shall never cave. Just promise me. You'll never be a used up slave. I'll shall never fall shall never cave. Just promise me. You'll never be a used up slave. I give my all everything I possibly can. Kid your going to grow into a upstanding man. Don't let this world tell you no you can't. It's something society will try and, plant. There gonna tell you this is how it has to be. Forget there ideas form a beautiful tree. Your first job won't be the only. Kick them to the curb say you will never own me. Your my child you came from me. I already know the greatness that they will see. Do this for yourself and not for me. Unlock your mind and, set those dreams free! Oh how I hate being trapped inside the prisoners den. For you my son I'll always win. Oh how I hate being trapped inside the prisoners den. For you my son I'll always win. I'll shall never fall shall never cave. Just promise me. You'll never be a used up slave. I'll shall never fall shall never cave. Just promise me. You'll never be a used up slave.
