I SEE
I was gone
For what seemed short but was actually long
Im done
thats what I say when the fun becomes no fun
Im sick
of the same routine I say I won’t get into
Im down
emotionally and somewhat physically because I’m
too lazy to move and I set myself in a
groove that feels so good but only for a while
I smile until I’m down again and I pretend
to amend the broken pieces of the mess that I
make, I often want to trade my life with someone
who seems to be happy but underneath who knows
if they are happy they have the money and
they think its funny to splurge and submerge
themselves in the finer thangs while the rest
of us struggle for the very life we live and we
give and give and give and never ask cause we’re
afraid of the tasks that we will have
to do and we can’t prove that we work hard
for what we want or work hard for what we
need we get passed over and never seen
unless we have the bling and attract those who
know things and thats the process of
networking, its the key to where we want
to be but I want to choose the King the
only one who knows my well being, he sets
me free in a world that wants to keep me
down and doesn’t care where I belong, the
lust is strong when I hear the words to
the song that prowls on my soul and wants
to have control
Im weak
I know this when I feel bliss
and corruption and destruction become
apparent in my eyes, its no surprise when I can’t
rise from a hard fall, I hit a wall and
refuse to do what I know I can and I hate it,
so I try, but whatever I do isn’t good enough,
I keep on sinning and I notice that I’m not winning
and its not the beginning but I wish it was
the end and I can’t come down from the
high, when Im there I swear i forget
what i went through, but i can’t escape
cause a snake comes to tear
me apart again and I’m back to the start and
its hard to see the finish but i got to
replenish my thirst with the word
I see
things that could become part of me,
could become against me or could just
be me, I neglect to give myself
away to the one who made me for I
neglect to see the best He has for me,
I have this I want right now attitude
that alludes to the failure that may
come when Im done living. I must be
willing to let go of what I want and let
his want be my guide, so I continue
to strive for the life that he has given
I won’t be imprisoned anymore, i must
soar above the rest and in turn i know
he will give rest to the heart that
beats within my chest
