This Life Wasn'T Meant For Me

I hate who I turned into
I don't know who to turn to
I don't want to look anybody in the eyes 
except for him to ask how or why 
Can't handle the pain inside
Feels almost like life's based off lies
I can no longer pretend I'm happy inside 
Everyday I look forward to the day I die
No word of a lie I'm excited to die
It's life's only guarantee
It would finally give me peace 
This life wasn't meant for me 
Think I'm a coward so it will be 
I want to do this for me
I need peace

I'd loose sleep tryna figure out ways 
to explain the love & the pain for

away like Mariah say & pray my 
butterfly returns someday 
Since I was 15 thought about the 
day u'd wanna marry me way bfor 
your dream knew it was meant to be 
it's clear to me gotta put pride aside 
I still wouldn't give a fk
what anyone says to me despite the 
celibacy I want u inside of me

Loving You Is Hurting Me

Another one written over 2 years ago enjoy..
PLS comment.. Good comments, bad comments, confusing comments lol any comment I just really would like some feedback :)


Being in love with you is hurting me
They say love kills but why does that have to be
Take full control of me mentally
It doesn't have to be but I feel that your safe with me 
Aint no place I'd rather be 
I hold on cuz I know one day soon you'll see 
but that doesn't take away from the fact
That loving you is hurting me..

The Hood Die Young

The hood die young.. Written May 
2008 When two young men from 
my city, Montreal got their lives 
taken away within days of 
eachother& too soon. Gone but 
never forgotten RIP RAMBO & 
NETSA ! & All the other fallen 
soilders xo

The Hood Die Young 

I Was Always Told The Good Die 
Young
& It Got Me Thinkin' All The People 
So Young We Done Lost Was From 
The  Hood
Society Claims Were Up To No Good,
Puttin' Dirt On Their Names As They 
Layin' In The Mud
BUT I Know They Just Lyin' Because..
The Good Die Young & So Does The 
Hood,So I Say The Hood Die Young 
Instead  
 Doin' Anything To Break Bread,
As We Know That Ain't The Reason 
They All Dead.
God  Had A Better  Plan For Them 
Instead
Our  Challenge Is To Hold Our Head,
As High As We Can!
Remember  We'll Meet Again
At The Promise Land ..
No Matter What We'll Be Sad!
BUT Smile In Thier Memory
Eventhough  You Feel Like Life Ain't 
How It Supposed To Be,
Breakin' Down Like This,However 
One Day You'll See
The Pain In Your Heart Set Free  
& God Specifically Choose Them For 
The Reason
There's A Time And Place For 
Everything And Their Time Was 
Done 
Hoods Are Cryin'
'Cause Hoods Are Dyin'
Just Keep Your Head Up & Keep 
Prayin'
Respect The Hood,Keep Showin' 
Loving
'Cause As You Know;The Hood Dies 
Young  
Regardless Where You Come From 
Stay True To You & Live Life How 
You Want To 
'Cause That's How We Remember 
You.

Written By Yours Truly; S.C Babyy ?


REST IN PEACE TO ALL FALLEN 
SOLDIERS?

Ask Questions You May Not Want the Answers To

Hope I remember everything I wanna say, Probably will if I'm feeling this way...
Your real, no filter so I'm expecting the truth got a couple questions for you.. 
The truth can't change the love I have for you but definately can change the things that I'd do.
I don't plan on over reacting but you need to be understanding.. 
Give me a clear explanation on where you see us going.. 
I'm headed to the top regardless if you plan on rolling.. 
I picture you my right hand, riding could be my imagination but I think it's the connection.. Hope this just ain't another lesson cus I look at you as a blessing. 
You already know how I'm feeling& when you were gone a big part of me was missing. 
When I speak you listen, in the letters.. 
It's my heart your reading.. So don't break me before you ever decieve me, leave me. Especially if in your heart you feel you will never love me .

My Plead

I learned to accept good with the 
bad.. The ugly ruined everything we 
ever had, realizing u were 
everything I ever had. said u didnt 
rly care & thats what makes me mad 
dnt kno if its a lie or if a fact.. 
Regardless shouldve been there for 
u cus I still see my futur in ur 
hands.. Whether or not & thats what 
makes it sad.. If need be ill let go its 
all part of the plan itll be hard cus ur 
like my bestfriend& my right hand. 
Know me better than myself u truly 
understand.. Im truly sorry& I hope 
that u understand accept the fact 
that im really sorry.. Hope ur 
around for life maybe make me ur 
wife.. From writting ur name In sand  
til forever id want u to b my man.. A 
lil daughter or a son holdin both our 
hands. I might be in dreamland cus 
the dreams weve had.. Know I fkd 
up
but papi can we stick to the plan? 
Though ur gone ur the only 1 that 
has me hanging on.. Even if it takes 
forever ill never do u wrong.. U 
dissed me I dissed u baby we both 
were wrong. Im still here cus our 
bond is so strong correct me if u 
think im wrong but since 16 u kno 
dat I been on.
 Without pride this time.,still I loved 
u for so long.. Im stuck prayin hopin 
that u aint moved on. I look up to u 
know I believe in u id prolly die for 
u always ride for u..

Everytime You Make Smile I Feel More Pain

The only difference was,
Is everything's so different but it all felt the same 
Not sure why but there was no change
Just a change on the name
But after all is still the same game 
I've seen the rain not quite like this storm
Even when I'm not alone nothing can keep me warm 
Except that feeling I had like before 
That nothing matters more
Than to know you're ok for sure 
Don't know how to stay sane
So I just keep writing away
Did everything but you didn't stay 
Now I'm tryna figure out how to make you go away 
Cus everytime you make me smile 
I feel deeper pain

God Knew What He Was Doing the Day I Met You

You give me a smile that lingers with every thought of you.
It amazes me because its like you feel every thought that passes through.
You said its for real, I know its forever.. So Im gonna keep holding you down whether, whenever no matter the weather.
I dont need you for my happiness, I need you to complete me.
More importantly its what you mean to me, I trust you thats why I give you all of me.
What you got aint what they see, you understand and grasp me differently.
Youre different too, that why I choose you.
God knew what he was doing that day I met you, since then I feel I look best standing next to you and youre a fly dude. Fitted, fresh white tee, clean Js too!
Now Im queen, 2 man team only you could be king.
You know I love you, not only do I ride I would die too.

Everybody Keeps Telling Me That Ill Be Just Fine

It saddens me to know this is the way I felt at 19 yrs old..

Everybody keeps telling me ill be just fine
But they aint tellling me when
I can't sit here and pretend
That I don't have a broken heart and there's nothing to mend
Night after night prayer after prayer I always send
Hold my head at the same time it feels so heavy
Wanna be happy but its like the Lord won't let me
Forgive me father I know I have sinned thank you for my blessings 
May I ask you one more thing?

Lied There and Stared

Tried to sleep but couldn't 
Just layed there and stared 
Don't know what I was thinking 
Don't know what I was expecting
Constant disrespect I can't stand you none the less
It's me, I let many take advantage of me
What I get for wearing my heart on my sleeve
Just laying down staring 
Thinking about the hurt 
Wondering what I did to deserve 
I'm angry I have the urge
But I'm resisting 
But I keep picturing me hitting you
It's so tempting
You're so damaging and selfish
You'll never under why it's come to this
Turned over to other side
There's tears in my eyes
I can't watch anymore 
My heart is too sore
It's harder to breathe 
You were never there
But just remember I was always there anytime you'd need
So now let me be
