I Guess Not

I GUESS NOT

i guess im not who my frame says i be
i guess i wasnt strong enough to not let the game change me
wasnt quick enough not to let the circumstances blame me.

cant seem to walk without draggin my feet
cant seem to talk without studdering my speech
cant seem to regroup just to save the life of me
cant seem to get a signal or even God to pick for me

i guess i cant move forward cuz my past keeps cuttin in front of me
i guess i wont move cuz my beathe keeps leaving me
i guess i wont walk cuz the life in my legs feels like its dying.

i guess ill give up cuz  my heart has stopped but is still beating
i guess ill stop looking forward and put my head back down
i guess i wont live the rest of this life but i find there still breathe in this shell so
i guess not
