I've been through more struggles this year than I ever could imagine
Betrayed, homeless, heartbroke, decieved and abandoned
I found some hope to turn around from this negative vibe
I've finally preservered, to restart and make a better life
I went through hell and back and came out ever stronger
The past and pain I've been dealt will hold me down no longer
I rose up tall and can now shout out from the mountains peak
I can accomplish anything and everything and be who I've wanted to be!
There's nothing and no one holding me down, I'll keep rising up and tall!
Because I came from rock bottom and suicidal, just to beat it all!
Theres still goals I've got, and desires i plan to obtain,
But to turn around and see my path, I'm proud of what I've gained!
My path has still more length, and I look forward to every stride
Ill have more rocks, and stumbling, even stop and cry
But the one thing I'll hold dear from the cards that I've been dealt,
Is never again, will I, allow to lose myself!

"Twenty-one"

I found the one I love and at first I was in bliss
I was lost in overwhelming joy and pure happiness
But now im used for free labor, and its **** uncool
Go back to ******* me raw, and not just use me like a tool
I know my need is carnal, but I have only a few days to go
I want to enjoy your body too, and not only this fathership show
I'm glad I have it all, but with your want for me getting less
How is my emotional state not supposed to be a mess
I love being here with both of you, but I cant be the only one to give
Because only being here to work, this isnt how to live
6 years you waited for me, and ****** me crazy and gave me head
Now you dont touch me at all, as if all I am is dead
I know ****'s going nuts but I'm not here for much more time
What else can I do, to show you a sign
I'm willing to help and add a little ease to your days vivance
So please reciprocate this back, not just make me suffer in silence

"Seventeen"

I found someone, different she proved to be.
Really showed me there was still kindness in humanity.
Spent half a year, making amazing memories.
From a simple birthday song, to cooking tortillas with cheese.
She went from "you're amazing" to lying to my face.
This blade you put in my back, is it in the right place?
She pushed me away from fear of being hurt herself.
But a short pain to me is all the cards I got dealt.
See, she's actually the one experiencing real loneliness.
Having short lived fun, and thats only at best.
She'll wake up one day and see the gem she threw aside.
But im walking away from toxins, with every single stride.
Im heading uphill and forming a life that I can proudly call my own.
Sad to see that ***** turn away, when I tried to throw her a bone.

I'm a drug to be enjoyed and get your fix
Glad you had your fun and satisfied your kicks
But now once you're happy, my needs are no more
Got moved to the back burner, my fun's out the door
I'm no longer happy because I'm doing everything you desire
But in return, my spoken wants are only set on fire
Yes I crave ***, I can't just be ignored
It's turning my soul cold, my heart's going poor
Nurture my flesh craving, unloyal I don't want to be
Because this makes me feel unwanted, how can you not see
I'll give you what you want, but dead I grow inside
Because the intimacy I once had, only was to satisfy your high
I got a teaser of what I truly need, now left touchless I'm dying
Selflessly caring and helping, to continue my ***** sighing
I'm unhappy no matter what, I'm getting used either way
There's no making my making me happy, I'm simply just a lay
Either have fun with until they're bored or satisfy their short love
I'll never be something more to anyone, other than a drug

Starting off I had nothing, not a thing to my name.
Not a hint of recognition, no glory, no fame.
Perservered for a year, finally got me a home.
Only to watch one run off, leaving my entire mind blown.
Me and a stranger fought through, blind as a bat.
And found brotherhood like magic, like pulling rabbits from a hat.
We grew only stronger, as time passed us by.
Fueled one another, we did, each day and each night.
We took pride being there always, no matter who fell.
Through deployment, girls, and more, we conquered all hell.
Twelve years now passed by, and we're back to the start.
Becoming strangers once more, and falling apart.
I would give my left nut, my lung or my kidney.
Just to hear my old friend say, he loved me and missed me.
This bond of love, trust and respect, has become but dust and black smoke.
As if our broship never happened, our fortress just a big joke.
I tried to be civil, even way past the end.
But twelve years don't mean s*    , to my one-time best friend.
He has no remorse, no sorrow, no guilt.
No honor for time spent, or broship we built.
I would be sad I lost a friend, but he's lost one, that's true.
B**
   , karma's gonna come back one day, but only haunt you!

Since when?!, did this poison, infect fellow brethren, to become so **** weakened, and give in, to an entire new mission, with all bad intention, and spin, with this pure evel grin, to betray his own kin, and then?!, continue again, on this path filled with sin, refusing to mend, because to them?!, I'm the one that can't blend!, it's so **** uneven! So my friend, stretched so thin, here I am and always have been, even let him be forgiven, just hoping and praying, his soul fights being sickened, start seeking redemption, coreect his decisions, write a revision, get a full-body cleansing, and get stricken, rinsed free from this disease and, finally come to an end.
