Life might be like this forever.
It may never get any easier.
Painful memories bring tears to eyes.
I can't ******* sleep at night.

I can't handle myself,
I'm losing my mind.

I keep pushing forward,
I stand my ground.
I keep pushing forward,
I stand my ground.

Never looking back to my past.

Needed more so you took what you wanted.
Dug yourself into a hole of greed.
Now we're stuck, slaves to money.
What ever happened to the land of the free?

What'd you do?
Thoughts wasting away.
Thanks to you,
We're slaves.

Tortue is in the making.
For those who don't comply.

Head in the dirt, feet to the ******* sky.

Prepare your fists.
Reject the culture.
Before your life is ******* over.

I beat my chest
In disgust with myself
How can I ever expect
To ever be loved

When I don't love myself.

Poetry is not a logic.
It doesn’t always make sense.
It may be written between two lines,
but it is not confined to the lines of your mind.

Poetry is not a world changer,
but it may change your life.
It is not a definition, it’s an art.
The meaning is left for you to decide.

Close your eyes,
if you look you will not see.
Listen to your heart
and follow the beat.

Writing it down just isn’t enough for me.
My words are filled with passion.
A feeling that can’t be seen.
Unless...
I open my mouth and scream.

I can't hide this pain
It's washing me away
My life changed
When her life started to fade

Heart stops beating
Silence is growing
My mind is circling
This world is torturing

Stomach is churning
Body is burning
This pain I'm feeling
A bitter sweet relief

I can't hide this pain
It's washing me away
My life changed
When her life started to fade

My soul is crying for peace
This pain I'm feeling
A bitter sweet relief
This is about my cousin's daughter Kelaiah.  My cousin was one of the largest influences in my life and I love him like a brother.  A month after being born Kelaiah passed away due to a hole in her heart, and it was emotionally hard.  I tried to write this in my cousin's perspective about how I thought he had to have been feeling, but as I kept writing I realized it's how we were all feeling.  We are a family.  One of the people I love most in this world's daughter died after barely getting to know her, and on top of everything seeing how much it hurt him hurt me.  I don't know if this is any good, but I really like it, because it was how I was feeling and still continue to feel.
