struggling with these issues
to carry on
survivial is a must
lifting weights
trying to stay strong
caught in the trap
stuck like a caged bird
continuiously
dreaming waking up with nightmares
sweaty and scared;
switched from baldhead to dread
from the peddle to the gas;
swaggered on 40's and trees
to reading books on anciant philosophies
punishing punks purposly
perplexing police to reciting poetry
pushing weight without growth physically;
to doing push-ups
trying to keep my head up;
dumping shells at the chruch
bells
to repenting for sins simultaneously;
gathering cash from robberies to
cashing checks legally
grouping up funds in large quantities
and sums no longer on the run
tucked inside the trenches
no flinching
or snitching
to dropping on knees paying
hamiage for the blessings;
automatically giving thanks
for the breath
that I'm blessed to breathe
and the seeds that I will one day conceive
