I'Ve Given It All

Took it one step at a time 
I'm just tryna make a rhyme 
Hope I dont take much of your time 
I just want you to listen to my story 
Hoping it will change lives...

Dear Reader 
You know I've always wanted to be a feeder 
But people fed on me 
I became a prey and they grabbed on me 
They tossed me 
Said hurtful words to me 
But still I've never held a grudge on them 
I continued to give them my all 
Played the fool 
Honestly it felt like I was drowning in a pool 

Dear Reader 
I hope you dont end up like me 
6 feet under isnt a joke trust me 
I tried pulling out a hand from 
This dark hole I was stuck in 
But no one was there to pull me 
You know it's funny cause they got 
Out of the same hole through me
See I told you never wish to be
Like me, 6 feet underground 
Isnt a joke just trust me 

I gave it all 
Did it all 
But look at where I am now 
I guess I didnt notice that I gave too much 
Of it all.
