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!!!
