mannn i would have posted the other 4 but they str8 ********.......i dunno i might though

A keystyle

i'm going through some trouble times
and it's breaking me down inside
holding back these tears is a struggle
the pain i feel, is beyond measures
i feel like screaming until my head explodes
i feel like screaming until my head explodes
i feel like screaming until my head explodes
i want to fly and soar, above my problems
i want to fly and soar, above this crazy place
i want to fly
how is it that i'm still breathing with no heartbeat?
how is it that i'm still breathing with no heartbeat?
how is it that i'm still walkin with no direction?
excuse me, do you know where i can find heaven?
excuse me, do you know where i can find heaven?
oh i'm sorry, you say this place is hell?
oh i'm sorry, you say heaven is another life away?
oh i'm sorry, you say i might as well stay?
because nobody from hell has made it?
have you heard of faith?
well old man, i'm off to find it

18 worthless years
hey i know 18 dead people
coincidence?
when i turn 19 i wonder who will be next
i seen a girl crying today
kia didn't have to explain why
standing from a far distance, you could see her black eye
i saw a little boy today
he looked at me as if he never seen a man before
yeah that's right
his father got murder a few years ago
today, i took a long walk
stood on the corner
where my mother bough her herion
today, i took a long walk
i strayed into a woody park, i heard from whispers my daddy use to sleep in
today i took a long walk
and stopped in front, of the hospital both my parents died in
losing their battles agaisnt aids
I walked even more, but decided i shouldn't visit their graves
i'm tired
not sleepy
but frustrated
i have so many questions
but nodoby seems not to have an answer
lord do you?
lord i said do you?
everybody else says you do
but why come i can never hear you?
i started writing when i was about 8 or 9
never did i know this was to become my life
with emotions so powerful
my mind and left hand controls
so poweful i think i can hear the yellow paper desperately scream
screams that arouses me....even more
to write what i so personally hold
not giving a **** about spelling or sentence structure
**** haikus and sonnets
what i write is fierce scriptures
i write in rage
with a suffusing aroma of that ***** they call mary jane
killing and killing and killing every page
my red ink rapes
i'm sorry to offend who ever shall read
just understand me at the least
i'm lost
july 5, 1984 a woman gave birth to a baby who bore no cause
dear god, just a whisper, eva so soft
dear god, just a whisper, eva so soft
my words will fo'eva stop
dear god, just a whisper eva so soft
my words will fo'eva stop

come again

"Did you hear about the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete?"-Tupac Shakaur and Nikki Giovanni check em out!
This was so reminiscent of the purging sonnets of the great
urban poets like Giovanni and Baldwin! This was the sho nuff
sho nuff! You did the Destee proud, so glad that you share this power piece/peace! Those raging spirits are creative spirits with a need for a place to take root and grow..."Did you hear about the Rose that grew from a crack in the concrete?" Don't ask me why ask me how?" Check it!
