New Life
“New Life”
according to the power that worketh within you
I was the streets bait
The hustles mate
And my addictions degrade
Now #89451 Im writing, reading and flipping through my own book of life pages
Although withholding my dreams and goals that had never left my side
This robust heart for my family was my concrete reason to provide
It was the instant thrill & pleasure from fast money and renowned hood fame
Everyone from Toledo to Houston had grown to know my name
Now its the prison systems checkmate
While I sit in a cell behind these steele gates
Praying for a redo, eagerly anticipating my date
Presently taking this time to evolve and resolve my past old perspectives
Today I have a renewed mindset and all my choices are now selective
Looking through clearer lenses with new visions at bay
With God all things are new and he provides the light that paves my way
And suddenly all my past character defects are fading away
Go on ahead and go astray
Allow me to continue to shed my skin and walk into this new being
Hello new day
Transformation is the only choice to win
And finally that is what I am now seeing
An unfamiliar refined identity I could have never foreseen
Out of the darkness and into the light
My worth could never again be demeaned
Hello New Life.....
