Poem
When you live long enough You learn the hard way The only person loyal Is the one in the glass Reflection You see each day People there but all alone It's all about what you do They can ask for your last But only God will stay true A billion never phased me Can't miss what you don't have So you can wake up and chase it for a t-shirt While others sit back point and laugh Days turn into nights Thinking about the strides Waking up to ask for forgiveness When you are wrong It seems then God hides Nobody to care You stop to give your all Others spectating Waiting for the day you fall These are life's lessons What I know one day I will leave Teach my daughter life ain't perfect In yourself You believe Don't take life too serious, have fun, and pray Your mama was soldier Who made it her own way Chasing a dream in a country That may never really exist Go to school fall in love make it Wake up in perfections arms with a kiss Hurt and yet wounded Never one miss All the years all the pain Right in my face Sleep with your eyes half open Because they want you to catch a case Daddy said love others But where does it end Remembering days working three jobs Just to make a meal and make ends Nobody there but iyou and the good lord But the creator showing you snakes So you try to stay on guard These are life's lessons Take it back oh no God blesses You all for free Praying to God for help When one day I know I'll receive No point in looking back Nothing but ashes and grief If I cut my heart to the last Then maybe it's relief So I strive and push harder Now it's silently Waiting to guess a next move Nonchalant I don't see Only to know life's lessons Then it's on me
