Why I Do It

They say "only the strong 
survive".
Look into my eyes,
Then tell me if I'm dead or 
alive.
This life has not been a pretty 
ride.
But I ain't going to hide,
Them I'm going to throw it 
outside.
Trying to help somebody with 
the same problems by his side.
Say a prayer, believe in the 
Lord, and put your trust in him 
while looking in up at the sky.
Put your trust in man and they 
will lie.
Only the Lord keeps his 
promises tie.
I do this for him and these 
poems ain't mine.
These poems are to help the 
blind.
Help the confused with their 
mind.
The lost with the time-Mario
