Honest Confessions

With knees deep in ice. I keep deep in cold. I was born lucky, am nice. With dope I uphold. You can't fool me twice, But if you do, I play it cool. With time you pay the price. I can never call you a fool. I was born into patience. All I know is love. I live each day with a difference. Am still trying to evolve. I am hard to love, I know. Am equally hard to let go. But I ain't too dumb to know. That you reap what you sow as you go. I put family first For they are my everything. I have issues with trust. I hate breaking.
