contemplating aggravations.
altercations that are rules my nation.
stuck in my mind,
I have gotten so complacent with this
uneased, unsettledness
wishing that I can be better than.
making it known to myself that
my heart can never be the evidence.
so I step in the world,
out of my character
trying to reach forward just to break down barriers.
reaching for something that I have never had.
tears fall down but I'm ever so glad.
so, what am I supposed to say.
to prove my words and not just to myself.
but to the one that made away.
he's giving me a gift and I don't intend waste it.
everything that I have done,
I know that I can make it.
I have struggles to speak about
past hurt and pain.
I have been apart of the chain gang
and that's where my life changed.
I also have brothers that have got killed in the streets.
just for upholding
the right to make that ends meat.
I'm sorry to say, but I have to make this last.
I'm trying my best to tear down walls
so judge not, don't be appalled...
