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.

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.
