The Great Man

Enough pain to last me a lifetime Enough sorrow to freeze my tears Enough failure to keep me on track Enough fantasies to make me numb My misery is hidden inside of me Incessant bogus smiles fill my face Muscling my way out of this state Looking to HIM to bless my hustle Fought battles,now i'm faced with storms Breaking down barriers has become a hobby The sour feel is spreading through my system I try but i see no hope at all ahead I'm suffering the sins of my forebears Fairy tales never existed in my world My headway keeps changing positions I'm unsure of what tomorrow offers Yet i can't afford to think negative Suffering now,but i'll pull through I'm clinging on to my mother's saying That three generations cannot suffer The current may not favour me today But i know that someday soon I will control the tide Because deep inside of me I know,I am a great man
