Leaning here Hoping to have a moment Realization Clarity Bring to me; a piece of mind If God exists I'm begging If Ghandi grants wishes If I can please ******* find some peace Or even just a piece Something to hold onto, someone to hold my hand Because truth is I'm scared Truth is I'm holding my heart, griping my keyboard, hugging my mind They don't tell u how real it is Always gotta learn the hard way I don't even know what I'm writing about I'm just laying here; laying here trying to stay woke, stay free, stay alive I went to school today and didn't do to class I stared in a boys eyes, told him I'm not gone Keeping in touch, seems a bit to much Seems like I'm fighting myself Everyday I'm struggling Fear and doubt I will prevail I will not fail I have nothing to prove, I shall own up my sins I shall caress every acquaintance; in a home that feels safe, where we aren't afraid Clenching my jaw, body like a suttle current, with a mind like a hurricane I shall not fail myself I shall not let myself go I shall not hate I'm never giving in, not headed to that golden gate
