Yet I Stand

I’ve experienced a lot and ventured through many
I’ve received a lot of things and it hasn’t always been good or plenty
I’ve looked death in the eye and letting out a sigh
I told him you will never take me and that isn’t a lie
I’ve engaged in relationships, which I felt would carry though the years
But all they have left me with is tears and fears
I’ve seen things at an early age
That some kids don’t even engage
I’ve talked mess and picked fights
Been locked outside for many nights
Been beaten with belts and cords
And my only cry was ol’ Lord
Seen dead bodies in streets not in caskets
Been labeled with other kids as bastereds
Listen as the enemy told me I wouldn’t make it
Told me I couldn’t fake it
Told me forget it but I refused to quit it
Been lied to all my life
Been hit with pain, strain, suffering, and strife
Been robbed of my chance to graduate on stage
Been talked about and abused for so long it brought rage
I’m surprised I didn’t end up on somebody’s front page
Surprised I even lived to speak to you on stage
Had curses spoken over me told me I wouldn’t amount to anything
Had people come into my life who lit something or extinguished something
Been liked and disliked and It’s still the same to this day
I’ve been told I hate you and I don’t love you in every imaginable way
Had dreams but see these weren’t your usual dreams
These dreams deceived me to believe that things weren’t, as they seem
That I was already dead had the devil in my head
Matter of fact we slept in the same bed
Yes the same bed I said
Got a father at least I thought I did
Never took the time to help my mom didn’t even buy me a bib
Always having headache’s aspirin couldn’t even take away
Stressed out from situations that occurred that I thought would never go away
Surprised that my body made through each day
Prayed at night so that my mind wouldn’t go astray
Grandma died and so did all my encouragement and inspiration
So did my mature ways, and my mature conversation
So-called friends have my back one-minute and the next minute their gone
And I’m left singing that same song
“I have no more friends I’m all alone”
Got plans to get a car
And drive real far so I won’t have to live up to par
With these street day dream visions
Which lead up to collisions
With mind blowing decisions and conclusions
Head jacked up with messed up illusions
Got nothing to live for besides to die
Gonna die for living so the question is why
Thoughts running through what am I gonna do
The outcome and the answer is up to me not up to you
Full of rage full of questions and I was left without a clue
But though all this God was watching me, covering me,
Guiding me, pushing me, and coinciding with me
And even thought I don’t really express all this because some people will think I’m crazy and then there are some who will never understand
But I can look back on all of that and with a strong and self-assuring voice say yet devil I still stand!

| Been there, and in some ways, still am. The feeling is real and that is what counts. Very expressive. |
