Broken

Sat, 02/15/2020 - 00:48 -- STXLE

How long will it take me just to get rid of anxiety

My shaky hands can show you i'm not used to the formality

But as I find myself growing more out of my comfort zone

I think I finally found a way to call it a normality

I'm not afraid to see the scriptures, imagery, and pictures

I've engraved into my mind that I will learn to be a winner

learn to love, learn to trust, and teach you how the hell I did it

But of course i've got a couple years before I make a difference

Does it even matter being great but never really famous

If it's flipped around that's most of the rap game in a statement

People wanna hear the bangers but don't care about the realest

If they listen to me speak than they would say they like the cadence

But when it comes down to the lyrics they agree my heart is breaking

It's been shattered into pieces. even though I hate the feeling

I know it only makes me stronger and a better human being

My father told me I can make it and my mom says not to let go

The reason that I hold on is cause I know we've all been hurt before

We just hide behind a smile, in our heart we always lock the the door

Just let me throw away they keys cause I don't need them anymore

Out of anger and distress a piece of me is always breaking more

Until it falls and breaks apart then it collapses to the floor

This isn't just a simple image I was venting what I stored

This poem is about: 
Me
My family
