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.....
