hey ya'll. i haven't been writing much lately but this just came to me today and i want to share it with you... please respond and let me know how ya feel...

As I penetrate the realm of endless responsibilities
I find myself wanting to do absolutely nothing
But stay black and die

I take a look at myself and the countless possibilities:
The decisions that I make, the outcomes that follow
And only the Lord knows that I have tried

Tried to just be myself
While at the same time trying to please everyone else
That’s what lead up to the insanity
Had me at the verge of wanting to grab on to humanity
And strangle her to death with my bear hands
Somebody better come and hold me back
I’m for real… all jokes aside
This is no laughing matter! I’m struggling here with my pride
And it’s a match that I cannot seem to win
Everyday the scene plays over and over again
As I continue to battle myself
The demands of family and my “so-called” friends
Only the Lord knows that I have tried
Tried to just be myself
While at the same time trying to please everyone else
But in reality…. It would seem so much easier
To just stay black and die…
