Who do I think I am
The world doesn't revolve around me
Neither does the ******* universe
I have taken so much from others
I have taken so much from society
The community wouldn't want me around
And I can't say I don't blame them
How can I give back
The freedom that has been given to me
Today I want to to be a part of life
And offer my hand in jubilation
Take nothing for granted
And teach about peace to all
From a man who's only known hate
But has escaped that lifestyle
And wants to bring happiness to all
But my poems have only known negativity
The dark side of my mind
Now there has to be a change
Or I'm going to die a miserable man
Who's never experiences beauty like one should
My heart longs for redemption
And so does my soul
To give to others
To think of their needs
Is hard to an extremely selfish man that I am
But I'm going to practice kindness wherever I go
And pray that one day I can make up
For everything I have took
