No Help For An Orphan Like Child

Can you show support to me
Whether I'm your child or not? 
If I say I was hungry would you throw 
A burger at me?
I'm truly coming home from jail.
Looking for away to prevail
Hard times got me like 
What I'm going to do now? 
Yes I need help
Yes I'm struggling 
Yes i'm less fortunate
Trying not to go back to hustling
But what are my options 
When you have orphan like parents!
I pray I get the help I need
Sometimes I get discouraged
Life is life 
I pray I get it right!
Never know when its your time to go 
I wanna go out like dynamite..
I'm living this life 
The type of life I'm living, 
Cause I feel Like I don't have 
Many options 
If I say I need love why not put 
Up for Adoption?
I'm coming for u....
Because my heart holds a lot of pain
They say what don't kill you 
Make u Stronger 
Well i must have a lot to gain!!!!!   
I'm an Orphan Like Child !!!

When Times Are Rough

Who can u turn too if thing's 
Ain't what it seems?
How can u chase a goal if you don't 
Have any dreams?
Life a roller coaster
But you have to hold on tight!
Longs you keep your Lord first
I promise everything will be alright
We all battling each other like 
Day and Night
Have to make a change!
Soon as I say I'm going to
Make a difference
People start acting strange..
Well life is like a space ship
It goes round and round 
Must have something to fall back on 
Or you will hit solid ground 
You must charge up like new electronics
Make poetry a lifetime commitment 
Like you on hooked on phonics!!

All I Wanted

All I Wanted 
All I wanted was Somebody
To Love Me 
Mom & Dad
Treated me like an Orphan Child
Even When I Have
Down Time
I drink liquor 
And I use to abuse Drugs
All I wanted was Unconditional "Love" 
Traditional
Nothing but kisses and "hug"
I never ask for much
All I wanted was for you 
To Spend time 
Strangers say I'm an Angel
Well I'm still searching for the sunshine
I pray GOD
The "Pain" is all over 
I see things clear 
When I'm sober 
I'm still rehearsing the same Line
Playing Tug of war 
With no rope
Only way I'll heal my 
Pain 
Is if I wash it out with 
Dial Soap 
All I wanted was your Love
But you took me for a Joke 
Longs I have Unconditional Support 
I'll never lose The hope !! 
That's all I ever  wanted!!

Art Skills of My Life

My life is "like"  
A Painted Portrait 
A portrait of Life and Death
Yes we go through trials
But its only another 
Test
I paint the perfect picture
When walking through storms 
My Hands is like a Motor 
I'm in action like Jason Bourne 
My mind is so powerful
I mastered every key 
Once I start writing 
I put the create 
In Creativity 
You can't tell me I aint 
Special
I was bless with this gift 
A gift that was unfold 
Like an handkerchief 
I'm the truth to all 
Humanity 
That make u want to lose 
Your insanity 
But you must stay focus 
Cause at the end it's a prize
Longs you have The Art skills 
Of Life
You Guaranteed to survive

Dante Reed Jr

What do they want to know 
About me?
I'm fun loving, charismatic
A strong Leader 
Who's Diplomatic 
Never ask for much 
I handle mines
By any "means" 
I Can read between the lines 
I'm the one people Love
I'm the flower that rose "above"
Concrete 
I mastered streets
I made it out 
without A chance of defeat 
You may trap my body 
But never my soul 
Longs the world know who I became 
I accomplished my goal 
My name is Dante Reed Jr. 
I'm From Baltimore 
Born and Raised 
A child of four siblings
Who made it through tough days 
I am 24 
But to you that's just a number
To me this an age of success 
That may keep the people wondering 
Longs i have the help of my creator 
Who never sleep or slumber 
I can truly say i made it 
And my age is just A number 
I'm so thankful and bless 
To be here 
I'm the Man who stands firm 
And my GOD Is who I fear

Life of a Ghost Vator

Life of a Ghost Vator
I'm too busy going up like an 
Elevator..
It's no turning back for me 
I feel spirits all around me 
I hear the enemy calling my name 
But I don't want him near me
It almost feel as if I'm actually drowning
With no life jacket
Or a scripture from Shakespeare 
Cause I carry the hatchet 
You don't know the dark nights 
I spent in my living room
Looking for away to escape  
Like the wicked witch on a broom 
Or maybe Casper the ghost 
I really lost hope 
I survive like an animal in the wild 
Playing tug of war with 
A Thin rope 
But that doesn't matter now 
I see things different then you 
If you walk a mile in my shoes
What would you actually do?  
Life of A Ghost Vator......

So It Seems

I feel like my prayers
Have not been answered
I feel like everything I do right
It's a challenge 
That comes with it

I feel like don't nobody
"Understands" what 
I'm really up against
I feel like better days
Will come eventually

I feel like their have to be
Someone who cares
Well now I feel like my GOD
Understands because he's the one 
Who's "There"

It's been multiple "days" 
I been hurt 
More like stabbed in the back
The more I have a chance to think
The less I have to react

Will you follow my lead 
Through all adversity 
Or would you hold me down
Like our 1st year anniversary
So it seems Right?
