Room of Growth
I was down and out, I had to find a way to cope
I was lonely and needed guidance, I had to keep on
I don't need a bandage because it's from my heart I bleed from
I've been learning a lot about myself in the room of Growth
Can you forgive me if I let out all of this anger and rage?
I've came to realise that even when I'm in danger I'm safe
Because a man with no fear of death has nothing to lose
You'll never be successful if Society tells you that you have something to prove
I ended up hurt from some of the people I walked with
I couldn't help myself, I flirted with every girl that I talked with
I was using girls as a bandage to hide the pain I didn't want to feel
I thought sex would cure everything, but it was a hug from a certain girl that helped me to heal
a man is always stronger when he has a female by his side
I don't miss her, but I'm thankful she was mine at that time in my life
When I was down and hurt, she gave me a hand
Some girls are amazing at healing the wounded man
I pour the Brandy and drink the Liquor slow
Mesmerised by this girl in the club on the stripper pole
I'm just a paying Customer, wishing I could play a bigger role
But I'm too damaged from previous relationships, So I won't fit the mold
Memories I don't want to remember Play on my mind
I have a Million thoughts a day so it's hard to get my poetry to stay in the lines
I apologise because at times my rhymes are all over the place
But I'm an average poet at best, I'll never be great
I was down and out, I had to find a way to cope
I was lonely and needed guidance, I had to keep on
I don't need a bandage because it's my heart where I bleed from
I learned a lot about myself in the room of Growth
