LIfe’s Pieces Monday to Friday, try to manage my stress Then got two measly days just to try n refresh Hit reset, yup, then the cycles resumes Cause life’s lot harder than the child assumes I was born to believe I could achieve anything But that dream hit a wall once I turned 18 But I still didn’t stop, I kept my eyes on the prize Then I failed so many times,that I lost count of the tries Decades long, standing strong, never choosing to quit And had some fun along the way I’d never choose to forget But this is it, I think I reached the limit, the split I got these pieces in my life that never seem to fit Life’s Pieces, This ain’t a cry for help, this ain’t no farewell note This ain’t a list of complaints, or a last dash of hope This is smoke, the fire’s in the layers of the quotes Shifting moods, light from dark, switch from dagger to cloak Spirit broke, not quite ready to give up yet I’m pushing on for the moment, making use of regrets Because I waste no experience, I honor the past Then, I rewrite my future, from this to day to the last A daunting task, but here’s the thing, I'M NOT GONNA ASK I predict a lot of turbulence in my life forecast And Imma still show love, that’s my nature, for sure It’s at my core, a reason that I do this for This nothing more rewarding than I thought that’s pure From the rawest of emotion to the more obscure I take the pieces of my life and check the angles again I hear this voice in this distance say, ‘You ain’t gonna win’ I don’t even look to see from where the voices emerged I’m too submerged in endeavors which I truly prefer I’m not at war with the world, I’m not at peace with me I don’t need no awards, I did my best for free But that’s just me, who else would you expect me to be Respectfully, especially since respect is the key
