This one isn't mine, but it sent chills down my spine. It's so eloquently written and it deserves the grandest audience possible.
**********************
The world will chew you up, and spit you out.
Use your best attribute, till your raw, and without
Reminds you to dream, but never lifts a hand to help.
Suppress this, forget that...Be real, but not broken
genuine , but not yourself.
God you loved me despite my mess
unafraid when i broke-down and cried
Or ran, when I showed what was inside
Never afraid to talk about the hard shit
Or offer a hand outta this pit
That doesn't rhyme, you don't fit
When everything fails- His love remained untamed- unapologetic
Always faithful...there, even when i wish it wasn't
Clever words & twisted tails
Distort the truth & leave you pale
People say they'll love you hard
but leave you if it goes too far
Afraid to get too deep
so the muck and blood won't stain their sleep
Life's been like a brittle tree
Help yourself, so you might break free
Reach up, just to find that it snaps
Hoping one day, you might gain back, what you used to have
Pat down your pockets
watch it pass
roll your sleeves up
Bare your bones
Grit your teeth, and flash your best
Work your hardest, pay your dues...
never mind the you, you once knew
What happened to the girl that dreamed dreams?
Or sat content without the finer things?
Studied it's wings
Pocket full of nothing
Heart full of things
i guess it's been foolish to strive for such things
Hope has been waiting...It's been anticipating...it's long overdue
Bid it farewell
It might not come back, to someone like you
Kissed it goodbye, don't even bother to cry
The you, you once knew, no longer lives by.
