Backwards

Your words took the breath out of me Made me realize Gave me anxiety Brought me back to reality That I need to make changes I feel like a stranger in strange places I realize my misjudgement How I treated you with words unfairly Now I see things more clearly I'm a poet Some say a rapper with a pen All I know Is I won't make that mistake again Sometimes I feel backwards Like Kris Kross in the early nineties So many things remind me If who I was at one time Chaotic mess Chaotic mind Now I'm searching for peace of mind But every moment I find I'm one step closer to greatness Without this pen I feel naked Stripped of everything I am Maybe others can understand What it's like to be different I'm different and that's okay Cause everyday I'm changing constantly When I look in the mirror I see A driven mind
