Built for Me...is it????

Even though I don't belong 

this world ain't built for me

day to day my thoughts begin

of how the world should be

from the beginning to the end

I think of how it was back then

when it was only adam and eve

not adam and steve

then with eves disobedience

this is how things be

I know I'll never fit in

squeeze in

or even make my mark in

This world ain't built for me

I was built with a purpose

to sustain and uphold

managing my many tasks

that later to unfold

This world ain't built for me

I didn't ask to to be here

but I am now

living life challenges

beginning from the ground

being here learning life

as I live it....its been rough

and I'm finally starting to get it

from family matters to relationships

its been all a hole

my mind still wanders

about how it still unfolds

This world ain't built for me

I've seen and heard so many like me

whom never made it past 23

caught up in gangs

because they feel like family

and the meaning of it starts on the street

family is where its suppose to start

at home in a house

not in the streets

from gangs to drug beats

these streets show no love 

and really firts like no glove

babies, children, teens

killed just about everyday

for every body that's been slained

what more can you actually say

This world ain't built for me

If family starts within the home less children won't be caught up

instead of just another unknown

This world ain't built for me

stop degrading the upcoming

or new bringing

of these new beginnings

to start saying

This world was built for me

they are here for a purpose

and not just the have nots

This world was built for me

I'm here to make my mark

set my foot in place

strinding along

just at my pace

This world was built for me

I'm here to learn

to venture, to discover

of what this world

has to offer and become of thee

I'm not just another person

I'm born of what become of me

This world is what I make it...

MY STANDPOINT

MY JOURNEY

MY DISCOVERY

MY FUTURE

This world was built for me!!!!!
