Worth

Do you know it?

By Lay APrimePoetPublished 8 years ago 1 min read

Do you know your worth child

Or are you lost

Are you confused between leading and being a boss

Having tender feelings and being a slave to the cause

But at what cost

Are you willing to loose your mind

Feel your heart beat in your spine

Compromising things for someone else’s time

Do you know your worth child

Or are you confused between fame and fortune

Has someone else approval become your form of absorption

Willing to do thing through extortion

Having sex just to get abortions

Walking with no brush but painting portraits

Taking pictures without lens and

Posing with fake friends

Spending money with no ends

Do you know your worth child

Poor kid rich dream

See yourself on tv screens

Realizing everything aint what it seems

Once you begin to panic

That’s when they’ll take advantage

So don’t be vulnerable

Those feeling keep holding them

Don’t let them show

You might get played like some hoe

Move fast but act slow

And be ready when you hear that knock at the door

Cause your time is coming

You just cant be confused on when to open and when to start running.
