Nellisa Roebuck Poem
Listen carefully children,and you shall hear,a story of pain and so much fear,
Where dreams and hopes won't come true,read carefully before it happens to you...
I thought i knew my way around,and the path of destruction is what i found,
everything was happening so fast,i was was running scared from a horrid past...
A past of guilt and shame,with no where to go,and no one to blame,
walking the streets on bitter cold nights,caught in a dream and flashing lights...
Not knowing which way to turn or what lesson i would soon learn
My body scarred and abused,a sure sign of the drugs i had used
Stuck in a life of serious crime,i should have known it was only a matter of time...
I have been everywhere including jail,never once going to hell, My life was spared,so that
i could tell this tale...
I played the game so smooth and slick,
i did'nt realize that i was the trick... Can't remeber the beginning or the end,all i
looked for was the smile of a friend...
My life so empty and sad,thought i would never know the life i once had,
going wrong insted of right,battling a loosing fight...
My strength was weak and worn,my lips begging Gabriel please don,t blow your horn...
I was.nt ready for that pearly gate,but only time could knew my fate...
I write these words so bold and tru,because i don't want the same thing to happen to you..
listen my children and follow the wise.don,t be the fool who plays and dies...
I have stop living the life so fast and easy, because there is nothing cute about being sleezy
I lived half my life through a glass pipe,all i saw was a cloud of smoke,with death in my eyes
it
was surely no joke...
I f you think this is sad and blue,change yours ways because it is waiting for you
