All In the Mind

Im staring into the sky and on 
my knees.
Can someone please pray for 
me?
I'm really scared and lost.
I can see the future but what is 
the cost?
I feel like God hates me,
Because I lied and I'm not the 
person I could be.
I remember in the summer I 
was like a saint.
But now I don't know what I 
am if I looked in the mirror and 
started to paint.
I'm just looking for some life 
support,
But they just threw me in 
court.
Started to judge me, when they 
don't know nothing of me.
 Music helped me more than 
church.
I apologize if that statement 
hurt.
I'm not trying to make it skins 
vs shirts.
Y'all might of saved a life, 
but not mine.
I'm not trying to pick a fight 
with you.
I'm just lost and I don't know 
what to do.
Sometimes I feel like I'm the 
only one in these shoes.
Only in a one man crew, only 
one single dude.
I got nothing and I feel like I'm 
in the nude.-Mario Perez
