Life of growth

I called quits when you were my coach

You never put me on the bench I chose to take that seat Comparing myself to others not knowing I was only playing against me But I was in to deep to see that sea had not was washed up on  me You Waited for me  To see the sun that I had inside me I lost my dad at 11 like it took time from me No time to sleep Resting in my grief My doubts grabbed a hold me Choking me til my world felt like my sea had been covered in cement  11 years old it has to be away out I can’t gamble on my sanity I can’t focus on way out I’m in play offsGod don’t give your more than you can bare so I had to grow out of my pain A fatherless child became reality struggling with depression I had to get That demon out me one on one against myself hard beat the challenges  But you waited for me To see the sun I had inside of me I battled with depression thinking God what is your lesson? Then I realized I power of healing inside me turned out your son was the only light the lead me from my darknessI held on pain knowing you were my only option until I gave inGiving my life to God was the best option So I got back in the game and I kept on fightingI saw the light inside of me so I had to keep going I’m plant that cracked the cement Y’all see my limbs they blooming This is not a game this not game of competition it’s the life growth
