What Is Life

What is life to me? It's the problems 
I go through the 
obstacles in my way , what it means 
to stay true to myself 
take care of my seed and raise her 
right do the best that I 
can with all my might.what is life it's 
the pain that I feel 
when my heart heavy the stress I 
endure on this path that 
I'm heading.what is life it's the 
thoughts I think my whole 
demeanor never crying over spilled 
milk since it's my 
mess to clean up.so what is life it's 
the choice to forgive 
and let go it's the decision to get 
doe or stay broke.now 
what is life it's the  blood I bleed the 
air I breathe the 
way that I speak on the things 
that I  see, it's the way 
I paint a picture that brings sight to 
the blind, it's the way 
I deal with these demons I got 
trapped in my mind
