A Journey Through My Life

Pin drop,the silence was loud Hashtag a baby is born, dead gone the mother was Bang bang,the landlord overthrew Loud cries,papa had fled Nosiy chaos was the start of it all @JayHeart I came into the womb like a clout of blood. With no pant and cloth; a boy was born. I kept quiet to observe the new environment. But a hit on the ass was what I got Then I realized how tough the journey is gonna be. ?? *Penspeaker* Hustle bustle the noise of the street Wailing sounds of the siren wakes me Gunshots, riot in the town Cling clang,I'm locked in jail Tear drops,suffering for a crime I knew not @JayHeart I grow and glow on a daily basis I tried to communicate the way they do, But all my effort only came out in cry I learn to walk and speak with mom And slowly I realized how miraculously the transformation was ?? *Penspeaker* Buzz Buzz,the prison doors opened Whirring and jeering, neighbours mocked He's an ex-con I heard them say Heartthrob, loud heartbeat, I sobbed and cried Tears and sweat off,I took my hat and heart to work off @JayHeart I was enrolled in school to acquire knowledge It was fun and awkward; those moments I had Picking up my bag to join the race. First it came as joy when I got to play with friends, Then it turned to sorrow when I got to memorize thousands of things. ?? *Penspeaker* Tractor sounds,whirring noises,cling clang Jack of all trade or so I was called Yes sir,yes sir, I returned to boss to an errand Guess who I met in the elevator ? Seems life is full of ups and downs afterall Runaway dad was a cleaner ,oh my... @JayHeart Adulthood came with lots of joy and anguish The quest to mingle brought love that ended in tears The handsome and brainy dude fell into the trap of love Thinking everything was gonna be fine with her forever, But eventually got married to a random lady with less love. What a life! ?? *Penspeaker* Moments they say define life or so it seems Time to cry and another to laugh, God has promised I've perspired in the mire, but didn't retire Though I misfired, but I refired to acquire That desire I admired... Guess that's just my life in a bit @JayHeart Responsibilities got plenty than expected, After plucking kids like an orange in garden. I got to work under pressure, just to put something on the table The body got weakened and I got to walk with sticks On the ground I fell, and I realized the journey was over. ?? *Penspeaker*
