If I Only Knew

If I only knew the answers
I feel my problem would be resolved
The mystery would be over
The case in my eyes solved 
Nobody knows but god
And I don't think 
Even he would tell
So I walk around clueless
My emotions locked in a shallow jail
If I only the answes

A Real War

In life I can see the war
Trapped within the corridors of my mind
The harder I persevere
The more I feel like I am wasting time
Meanwhile the clock continues to tick
Time passes at the speed of light
I pray to god for every decision
At times it seems like I will never get it right
The pain of not having the things that seem to fade
The thought of doing it over
The realization that things may never change
Meanwhile I battle in the war

The Journey

There is a road that unwinds
Filled with twists and turns
It leads to love and happiness
Along with all the lessons I have learned
Life has taught me patience
Life has at times
Been kind
Life has taught me 
It is a journey
Not to be afraid to
 leave the pain and anguish behind
Life has taught me to cherish it
Hold it close and near
Treat each moment like it matters
Before it disappears

Happiness is a choice

When it comes to peace
Know who and what enters your heart
We are strive for tranquility
Yet sometimes life can tear us apart
Know that life can at times oppress us
I'n your soul you have to find the courage to be strong
Happiness is always a choice we can make
One that will never steer us wrong

Why

One would seem to wonder
Why I have the same enemies
That thought that in life
You could never be a friend
I have been on my work since age 14
Now I'm standing on the mountain top
About to realize my dream
I beat the odds
Did what few could really do
But life is not over
It's just begun
They said I had no patience
Stepped on my rights
Violated and abused me
Because my skin was not light
But I will never give in

The Truth About Lost

I wake up some days lost
Because never did I know
Life would seem so empty 
Without the closest friend I know
I'm not angry with god
At times I wonder why
Them to my amazement
God comforts me
I know my father is testing comfortably in the sky
Time they say heals all wounds
So I press on life forever
Changed
I pray to heaven for peace
And god will undue from me this pain

Disrespect

Living is a lesson
The dead do not speak
Yet I find the sickest thought is the emotion of disrespect
You don't know me
Some never will
Yet I ride life's emotionally rollercoaster
Like a cheap thrill
Do they cross the line of no return
When you don't exercise what you feel
When you play make sure you win
Because the adversary is definitely real

Does Love Exist

As I write my emotions
I may not shed a blood tear
What happens when u get tired of trying
But with love pain won't let up or disappears
One may wonder
Does love exist

Determined

I know it may seem crazy
Who am I not to dream
Who am I not to reach for the stars
Life is not as bad as one thinks it would be
I feel determined to race over obstacles
To knock down impossible walls
With my creator as my backbone
I know I will always stand tall
So I sit determined.

Ruled By the Dollar

Should I stop too explain
My life is not perfect
But my time you won't kill
My bank account you won't steal
If I asked you permission
Open up the gates
Put me in slavery
It's all in your head
Time to take back numbers
And show you why I'm strong
