not that easy...                                             9/1/09


Time spent loving life,
but trapped in death;

Living and dying without smelling the roses;

Composed and consumed with past regrets
Failed to plan,
so most say I planned to fail
Trying to motivate my spirit,
but my flesh fear it
What happened to the joy bestowed from above
Destined I am to fall from glory;

Stuck living a life story of purgatory
Can you over stand my predicament
Raised in the streets with the vermin;

Moms tried to get me to listen to pop's sermon;

This is who I am, gangsta and the gentleman;
But all that emerges is the beast,
the monster,
The killer;
 
everything they said I'd be;

Far from the truth,
close to death I hear the reaper's steps Gaining on me;
the faster I run the closer he gets;
Missed the gift,
the present,
stuck in my own dwindled past,
the future's to far from my zone,
closer to home,
but Still all alone;
 
God save Your lost son;
 
praying for forgiveness;
 
but my sins I can't forget them;
 

Born again sinner,
late night repenter,
and all day heathen;

Moms prayers getting caught before they arrive upstairs;

So death here I am,
but when you come for me know it's not that easy…
