My Life

People ask me why I do the things I do
But even if I explained myself it wouldn't make sense to you
Although some things don't need to be explained
And others would cause me too much pain
One thing is for sure and that is all my problems make me cry
But no matter the obstacle I still try
Yes I've been defeated a time or two
But it doesn't stop what I do
It might change who I am
But do you think I give a damn
No because I'm still me
Just a little wiser for all to see
Because you should always stay true to who you are
And shine bright as a star
Let nothing and no one bring you down
Never let them see you frown
Keep your head held high
Tell the haters goodbye
Because the good will shine thru
As long as you remain true
So take care of yourself
And God will handle everything else

27 Years Too Long

I wasn't meant to be here
So how did I make it 27 years
Growing up a screw up
So how could I give a fuck
About what happens to me
Or who's around to see
Because my life has been hard enough
Always dealing with other peoples stuff
When no one gives a fuck about how I feel
Yet they claim to be real
The world is as fake as a bad hair weave
And I'm just waiting on my time to leave
So that I can get away from all of the lies
Besides no one would care if I die
Because they're too wrapped up in themselves to see
Just how much they have impacted me
And no I'm looking for sympathy from any of you
Just be aware of what you do
Maybe take time to listen to someone else problems
Or instead of judging try to help solve them
It has taken me all these years
To stop shedding tears
Over how people treat me
Because I finally realize that I'm the only one who can set me free

Accidental Love

I fell in love with you
Even though I never intended to
Because I knew that you would break my heart
And the thought alone tore me apart
But I knew that you didn't love me
That was obvious to see
Yet I still fell for you
And all of your lies too
Because you put me on your team
And sold me sweet dreams
You told me that you loved me
When you just wanted my body
I was highly mislead
By all of the things you said
Now every night I cry
Because I still want to try
Even with little trust
I still can't give up on us
