Tall hedges rustle bullied by icy breezes beat against the window   relentless neon Buick sign pushes the insistent light of capitalism through cream lace curtains after sunset  .

The edge of a blade I prayed For second chances Until it happened to me Unfortunate circumstances The score setter, Conviction letter, The get good getter; That hurting someone is Gonna make me feel better. This life that I live Is a warrior’s craft Hanging by life’s raft Ninjas and samurais Gang and clan ties. You gotta hang me Stand by me Wildcard. You know, it’s hard. Life’s near impossible Whether life allows Or disavows These are my vows For better or for worse, Till death do us part. Part me, part facade. Am I a fraud? I just don’t know. Back to the future Hovercraft Hover board Overboard. Sinking and drowning, 19 and counting. Two sides of the same story Anger and despair Hope and peace Broken pieces. Broken heart, Shattered mind. A life, Destined for greatness… Only to fall short To slip up And never get picked up. Feeding memories, Feeding thoughts, Dreams killed, Nightmares born. Let me ask you a question: Have you ever looked down… The barrel of a gun? To face death In the midst of life; Shot down because I just wasn’t Good enough. Not enough good luck. Lucky number three. Son, brother, outcast. Shunned from reality’s past. Friend, family, fake fronts, Fighter, thinker, life stunts. Angels telling me to stay, retreat. Demons yelling at me to hit replay, repeat. Me? Staring at a bedroom wall Calling, pleading with God To Control-Alt-Delete. Hara-kiri, Life’s ****** From what I foresee, I’ve gotten third degree… Burns. We’re told to Have a fire. A fire that never Gets put out. We’re told to Reach for the stars, And never give up. Told to Be bold and To be brave. Told to Be the best and Only the best. Told that We only… Live once. But here I am, Telling you to Live and to last. You see, All my life, I’ve had Angels and demons All around me. This broken world; It surrounds me. But His grace; It astounds me. His peace covers me Like the trust between lovers be His Spirit hovers over me. To live and to last, To look to the future, Embrace the present, And accept the past. Despite my darkest days, God always provides Now, here I hide; In His brightest lights.
