Too Far Gone

Too far gone His minds so lifted A soul so gifted ,but dragged beneath the ground 6 feet deep lies his intentions He not doing much, just living Not trying much ,but what he’s given He doesn’t read and has no needs other than looking flying and gettin some b!&*^es But with his momma is where he's living, with no ambition this sits heavy on her heart Single mom working so hard do it all alone, all on her own 18 years all for a failure 18 years giving him what she was failed to her for her son, she lead a life marked with good intentions, but still missed the mark She can't breathe at night thinking about her son, the black tar cancer marking her lungs Out being a fool; slick by the tongue but dull by the brain In her world the clouds are always low, theirs always rain falling heavy on her conscience The mother of a failure...feel her pain Like a mother cradling a still born son He’ll never grow; he'll never change All her love in vain Words of wisdom wasted on her bastard son More like his father every day, soon he'll just run away And honestly deep inside she cannot wait She’s bitter Cause she's fighting tooth and nail in a battle that's already won The world vs. a mother The world has her son

Intense, honest, a little brutal but I think that was the point. I can really feel the pain in this poem. I think you have a great way with words. Keep up the good work!
