Painful Reality

Pain

You never see me flinch

It came and never left

Tried to pull out

Couldn’t reach the boundary

Lost into that world

Lost into reality

I lose myself to myself

I don’t even know where I am going

They say one man can’t change the world

But I disagree

One man just did

Feel the beat change

Feel that vibe change

I said I was lost

But I ain’t anymore

I found the connection

Logical

Emotional

That’s the way I roll

Two sided

There are sides of the cube

Look deeper

We see what we cannot see

We make time for the things we want

But life made time for me

Pushing myself to new heights

I may have a cold

But my heart never froze

Broken and comprehended

I’m looking towards a bright set of lights

Hold up, hold up

You knew I was coming from the beginning

Every saying the boy can’t do it

But there is no boy no

There is only a man now

Capable of achieving everything

Things you can’t even understand

When I write this poetry

I put my heart into

In fact, I put my soul into it

In fact, I put my damn

blood

sweat

and tears into this

Every moment

goes by

I don’t have one regret

About what I have done

Never,

No regrets

People look down on me

They say I made bad choices

I know what I’m doing

Y’all can back out of the way

I’m taking my destiny

Ya, my pain made me stronger

Ya, my life gave me healing

I was in the sunken land for a while

I couldn’t find my way

Yet I still rise

I rise from the sunken land

To create my own land

I make my own choices

I create my own destiny

I make who I am

I MAKE WHO I AM
