Reflection: State of My Being
Mentality keeps a constant tickin
how to better all my misfortune
While the Devil's at play
with my sensitive emotions
Still at heart a child willing
and wanting to expand my wisdom
The battle behind this reflection
there is that only as a hanged man
Dissappointment for the woman in me
tends to deep me from a better hand
Though I am as an oppressionist
and know those steps to give soul that security
This love affairs a constant challenge
along with the voyager that's become of me.
I'm worn down by the dullness
of the way home can't seem to change
Through all this negativity the
continuous trials are never astray.
I pray the world that looks upon me
can see what feeds my brilliance
For there's really only good
God has given me
The life we are worn
should be of no importance
ANd someday I'll be able
to turn these rusted tables around.
Only to make it better for those
generations lying after me.
Hopefully then-
Children can play,
Woman are free
and marriages live on forever
Happily.
