A fathers answer
Jahlil boro Oct 2017
Overwhelmed and scared when I became a father

Worrying thoughts responsibility all came together

Battling alcohol addiction how will I get better

I stare into my daughter's eyes thinking will I be here

The future looks glime dark period doubts of fear

Distance myself from my wife and child drinking a cold beer

The devil got me captive I'm his servant

Spiraling out of control leading to a hellbound

Soulless hidden emotion's lacking to repent

Imprisoned in my mind I've lost interest in life

Miserable beyond believe it's hard to live and strive

Breaking down drinking my pain away to stay alive

I want to provide and be a role model

Teach and grow with my daughter unconditional

Find happiness to change to be a peace

Trials and Tribulations
Jahlil boro Oct 2017
Sometimes in life we make things difficult

Few put words into action others talk without being physical

Fear in our minds doubts in our hearts leads to obstacles

Every human being dreams for the good life

Some want to rebel without hard work and sacrifice

We've become selfish towards one another we share no advice

Price increase low wages what a hectic world

Stressed defeated unpreciated we stop and hurl

Inheritance show no empathy wearing expensive pearls

The children today learn and grow alone

Parents are overworked underpaid never at home

Foreclosure collateral damage couldn't pay loan

People must help each other build strong relations

Come together in soldarity understand cooperations

Lead the way achieve results through trials and tribulations

— The End —
