The Life of Me

The Life of me.

The life of me was and still is a journey I continue to try living

With many, many trainwrecks and attempts to try giving

There have been plenty times when I wanted to surrender

To want to give up repeatedly and become my own ender

But family, friends, and God is what inspires me to go on

To pursue a successful life and be undistracted by a con

Its things like this that build me up and make me

Yet the things I’ve gone through do the opposite and break me….

And with that you begin to understand what comes to be

As the difficulty and adversity in the life….of me.

The compensation of giving into temptation

Is a mistake that continues to have no duration

Yet I ignored this due to the sensation

That I acquired from the temptation

And that very mistake has cost me relations

With people I would die to see again….

But now the mistakes I have made only serve as inspiration

To steer past frustration and overcome limitations

To inspire happiness in others and the pursuit of it my justification

And with that declaration you understand the complexity of my situation WHICH IS….

The life of me.

However, despite my adversity, I consider myself lucky.

Lucky enough to have people that care about me

Lucky enough to serve a God that will not forsake me

Lucky enough to have a family that would give their lives without question for me

Lucky enough to go to a school with teachers and students that care about me

Lucky enough to go home and receive love instead of disgust towards me

Lucky enough to have all the material things I have on me

And lucky enough... To still be standing and giving this story from me.

Despite a life full of mistakes and a life that has bettered me

I’m glad enough to still be living it. Living….. In the life… of me.

Thank you.
