Don’t do that.

Give me that look of epitomized stupidity.

You must be kidding me.

Just stop before I lose control

Of everything and all I know.

Every time I open up I find myself getting hurt.

You don’t want to hear about my pain?

Why? *** is causes you discomfort.

So then its all about you?

Your life on that silver platter.

Read between the black and white, the grey matter.

Open up your eyes

Shed the hollow life, your living lies.

I’d test you, maybe bring out the best in you.

Try these on for size; my shoes

Take a journey of what I’ve been through.

I’ll like to see how you do.

So what if I have stumbled, I didn’t crash.

If it was you, do you think you woulda last?

No I didn’t burn, Went straight arrow

Never took the wrong turn.

Its been a never-ending battle.

Me against all

Everyone watching to see if I would fall.

But I won’t back down

I’ll crack down

Stay focused on what I have

May not be what I wanted but man it was the hand I was dealt

Sometimes I think love was an emotion I've never felt.

Even if I have to walk this life alone

I’ll be sure that one day

I could say,

Yea, that I made it on my own.
