Poem
Poetically impressive Mentally progressive Addicted to my writing it’s becoming a bit obsessive But this is the medicine A therapy for my depression Post traumatic disorder Is the cause for my aggression My heart gets heavy My mind gets to stressing My soul gets to feeling like I’m lost Without a blessing Heart ache and hardship Are the teachers of my lessons I always keep my guard up When I’m facing these testings I get crushed under the weight Of the times I was filled with hate Left alone by myself With none that could relate I only knew the will to survive in hard times I found mines Like digging in a coal mine I stay concerned with hard working And maintaining my health Writing to escape But there’s no escaping myself Even working overtime There’s no accumulating wealth Circling myself Like a dog chasing its tail I have an uncanny ability To find ways to fail Still on the search for Heaven Walking through my own hell I’m a full time writer A Full time fighter Insomniac so I stay up all nighter Alone in my own head These thoughts are an igniter My feelings become the fuel Of this emotional lighter I seem to never learn I must love playing with Fire I’m looking for a staircase Lord please take Me higher I’m addicted to pain I think I’m just looking for a rush But some days pains the realest thing that I can touch And it really doesn’t matter Cause I never get enough the pain only shapes me I’m impossible to crush. I’m an artist with my words And this pen becomes my brush Painting pictures with my pain For others to reach and touch Ace King Queen All jokers are getting flushed If you can’t withstand the pressure Then like powder your getting crushed I’ve fallen so many times From such a high height I should evolve wings To turn a fall into a flight First boots on the battlefield In every fight in life Seen so much trauma It’s hard to sleep at night Every moment that I’ve loved Has been a double edged knife I was built for the hardest times That I’ve faced in times of strife I’ve stumbled And been humbled I’ve seen the glory in the fight pain can be rewarding When you’ve overcome your plight Sometimes though the nights can be so long Then I get to feeling like everything Is always wrong God forgive me Sometimes I’m headstrong Shaken in my Faith Lord please give me calm Order my steps in this world bless the workings of my hands Give me patience to get thru it And the knowledge to understand That where I am now Is not where tomorrow I will be The road is long and winding On the road to Destiny Give me the strength that is needed To overcome my inner me That is the only enemy That I need to defeat If I can face down my demons My training will be complete Let me guard against hate And slander in my speech Give me the wisdom to turn knowledge Into a lesson I can teach And please bless my words So they will have a longer reach I came to be a witness But if You command me I will preach The journey isn’t over So once again unto the breach But I flow like waters rush I stay writing and fighting I’m impossible to crush Hot to your fingertips the process that makes diamonds Is my process not my crutch I stay gifted and lifted Because I know I have the touch This is the realest thing to me though I may not have enough What I have is plenty And reason enough to call your bluff I shake em Then I break em I don’t get moved when life is tough I’m only here to break the chains That trap the ones I love I’m here to shine the light In a world that is dark speaking Life to those I love I bring a flame out of a spark life is always moving forward I will never stay in park I’m Realer than MTV or BET’s 106 and Park This is all straight verses There’s no hooks or chorus here Just a Man always willing To overcome his every fear. Just a man willing to lay his life upon the line The same way I put my soul in every line.
