No sleep

Can’t speak

Broken hearted

Abundantly

God calls my name

standing out in the rain

Screaming to the sky take me away

But then I sit and think why is life this way?

Negative comments and women with no dignity.

Just verbal abuse and a lot of animosity

Wanted and begging to leave, but thats not love you see.

Thats the devil from society,

The burden that wants to dig your grave.

But the grow, yea you know

the glow.

Its gone hurt them to know, know that you made it on your own.

Did it with a cold shoulder and a heart guarded like a military soldier.

No hold back, just a shake back, clap back, top that.

Straight to the top you go floating like a rainbow.

Oh yea your like that, and you knew that

Fight,

Teach,

Preach,

and deliver the word you see

The devil tried to stop me,

want knock me

cause I got back on my feet.

And I’ll keep on living free!
