Black Poetry : The Ultimate Test

[Defiantson]

The Ultimate Test

I find myself trapped by my thoughts
And wondering why?
Why my life is in shambles?
See, I find myself sitting in front of this window
with bars in front of me
And I’m missing my normality
And I ask myself, why?

Why did I do what I did?
While doing all that
The demons inside of me,
Are laughing at me,
Taunting me,
And know I am stuck

Stuck in a life
Were I let bull**** get the best of me
A life that messed up my freedom
Man, they ain’t never lied
When they said
That Crack is a mother ******.


Now it’s 5 years 9 months and 3 days later
2 days before my release date
And I made peace with
My inner demons
And G-d has come for my protection
And the demons no longer are laughing
Now they are crying

See, if I have learned one thing
I’ve learned that Crack is a beast
A beast that will have you
Stealing, dealing, lying, and sooner or later dying

Another day has passed
And I promised myself
That no longer will I be seduced
By my inner demons
I have gained my strength
And through prayer and the heavens above
I will regain the possibility
Of becoming a righteous man

The day has come
And now my prison cell
Is being unlock
And as I walked though the halls
I hear voices telling me
Mother ****** you will be back
But they are wrong.

And as I reach the gates of freedom
I come to a realization
That no matter what
That I am still not free
See, I come to understand
That I still have to pass
The ultimate test
Living life rightously

So many different kinds of demons can latch onto a life and hold it prisoner. But with God on our side, we can resist. A tale known by far too many, flow on poet.

*note on the dl* ...The word is powerful, mightier than the sword.
Ignore the demons...and they will go away, if you don't intertain it, it'll find another resting place. What comes out of our mouth...will manifest.
This piece is awesome poet, keep speaking the positive out, and only that...will come back. Your spirit is yours...and that's a great thing.
I'm reading you poet, I'm listening.
