Past To Present
So many roles have changed over the years,
Went from being a child to a man dressed up in tears,
I wasn’t scared of nothing but now living in fear,
Visited bars rolling high in jacked cars,
Single now looking up at stars,
Went from throwing rocks at windows to violating laws,
There was a point in time my life was forced to take a pause,
For a better cause,
I don’t know why my pain infected like Sars.
Seen so many sharks couldn’t tell which one was Jaws,
Plenty times I dreamt I resided in Oz,
With a Dorothy type all up in my arms,
In the real world I lost but in Oz I found my charm,
Couldn’t hack it always stood against the norm,
Now I’m bleeding, suffering and seeing myself mourn,
It feels like being pricked by a million and one thorns,
Or getting raped where you have all of your clothes torn.
Ok, maybe that was a bit extreme,
Sometimes I have a tendency to go overboard with what I mean,
So back to my reality, back to may agony,
Unable to distinguish what’s worse mistrust
Or a machete hacking me,
All the lies only proved you lacked the tact to carry me,
It’s time for me to go and recharge my battery,
And rethink our camaraderie,
I’m gaining too many calories,
I can’t afford to twist up or even affect my salary,
I guess that’s life
and I’m not one to ever pretend that I’m living happily
