starless sky, pitch black night
on my back I lie, looking for a twinkling light
cold february breeze, thoughts running blatantly
this moment I want to freeze, running aloof acting galantly

I hope to make it by tomorrow, and live to see the light
I don’t want to cause pain and sorrow, because this is my own fight
tread this journey I will do, to unshackle chains and reach new summits
you have your battles to face too, the endpoint we must focus on and never lose sight

Why you always writing depressed ****
Why don't you quit
No one wants to listen to it
Why don't you take a hit
*
Let me tell you a little story
Mind your own business and don't worry
I'm going through ****
Talking and posting to poetry is my only outlet
I am a survivor
A strong fighter
Yeah I get the disappointment
I'm disappointed too
Had to go on a appointment
Feel like I won't mentally pull through
I'm fine though
I checked out ready to go
I'm paying karma back
Check please! I'm get back on track
(Eventually)
Don't push me
My motives aren't as bright as they use to be
Try watching the people you live disappear
Try watching your family separate further every year
Try doing **** alone
Better yet
Tell me about a ****** up addiction
If you ever had one
Whats the definition of perfection
******* critical geeks bet you don't know what its like to backout
Nor what it's like to **** near overdose
Or even ******* nearly die
Maybe support and not judge
I admit I'm guilty of holding a grudge
You know what it bothers me when people criticize me
Hurts lots but **** it karma wins with a check of reality
Don't push bet you candle the recoil
I learned the hard way how to be loyal
I'm also a better writer
Expectations higher
I've got a desire
I'm a hit up the fire
Burn all the ******* judgements

For she was black
Yet she never lacked
A special treatment she received
And never deceived
She wanted it all
When already she has the mall
And felt cheated
Even when it was never created
She was pained
And wanted more
Roars like lion began to go viral
And like the barking dog
She won't stop being mannish
Swiftly like the burning flames looking for a place in the sky to shelter
She gathered the superfluous in her load of responsibility
And chained herself to it
Forgetting she is tied
She is bargaining for freedom
By not even walking on the bare floor
She is wanting to sky.
