Look Into Me
Look into me
Analyze from a distance
Watch from within
A deep twist
Understand this
Hard days
Long nights
A fatherless child
Mother was not around
When it all counts
Grandma raised me
The best she could
Aunts and uncles never there
Best friends used me
Because of what they needed
Raising myself, that was life
it was what I needed
Traveled from house to house
Robbed for the essentials
I begged for the necessities
My the cluttered past
My battered memories
The thoughts
Of having a baby would change me
That didn't seem to phase me
Continuing to live life
My reckless ways
My thoughts
My ideas
The process of many mess ups
My life moves forward now
Due to how I move
Life, and pain comes with the decisions
You need to
Look into me
Analyze from a distance
Watch from within
A deep Abyss
Now.. understand this!!!
