Poem

My life’s a movie, roll tape, lights, cameras, action
Playing every scene with pain as my main attraction 
The life I live is more like a devilish transaction 
Said I quit the drugs, but slowly I’m relapsing 
Time ain’t on my side, I feel my time elapsing 
Trapped inside my perception like Nathan in a steel cage 
Need a time machine to go back, just me and Nate 
I hear my pops tell me I ruined his life 
I can relate. he did his best, but I let him down 
My mind is ed chasing a dream that was never mine 
All I live with is regrets, chasing shadows, half my prime is gone 
No more, from now on I’ma do me now 
I’m done crying, game’s over, I control my life 
Chip on my shoulder, done drinking, I was paralyzed 
I find it hard getting out of my comfort zone 
On the other side, a sign was posted saying, “No flex zone.”
Terror on that side; a place for outcasts 
My pain always feels like it will last forever 
In my closet is where I found God, but I harshly judge myself 
I'm breaking free from the chains that bind my soul
I'm finding strength in the darkness, making it my goal
To rise above the pain, and let my spirit unfold
I'm rewriting my story, a new chapter unfolds
I'm taking back my life, no more growing old
In the darkness, I've found my light.
