Redemption
Words play back in my mind
I am sick of dying
Images of disconnected words
Play on speech
Broken fragments and participles
Painted storms are like caged
Animals locked inside my mind
Burning tears fall down my cheek
Words have lost all meaning
With the company I keep
I die inside this empty mind
When I closed the door
I refused to look back
My past hunts my conscious
Paranoia had become my state
Of mind. I prayed to God
At a point of no return, I
Have mono with no place to
Go. The anxiety comes from
Locking things out. The voices
Rule mind, I learned to shut out
With fake smiles, I hide the pain
Inside. Kinda gives me courage
To void out the pain. Move on
Move on. Voices are saying
I dont wanta kill nobody
I dont wanta steal
The thought of attempting
Suicide, I dare not feel. Had
I done wrong in my life
I learned the naked truth
Im bein true to myself
All I can do. I confront with the
Hurt and pain, the back stabber
Haters and enimies, all in the mix
The same project, the same hood
The same ghetto, all in the same
Game. I put God first, by believing
In myself is all it took. Because
I chose to hold on, hold on, hold
On. For all its worth. The problems
I am facing could be a whole lot
Worst. I hold on, hold on, hold
On, for all its worth. I hold on, hold
On, hold on. b'cause I do not want
To be another dead statistic. Believe
In myself, b'cause I can make a
Difference. Hold on, hold on, hold
On. Keepin strong, I hold on....
