emergency medical tec. (EMT-B)
Content with life and what it brings
Can sometimes blind you to unexpected things
Growth and purpose become obsolete
When you are falling apart at the seems
Maintain they say
Ride the waves they say
Optimism can be a curse
12 whole years
Yes that’s all I knew
December 3rd ……2007
Oh ya ……we no longer need you
Trying to go to school

Get my master degree
But life was crashing down on me

**** it …just fire me
What happens now …..Have given them every piece of me
How do I rebuild my life with only a piece of a person?
Didn’t know that wouldn’t work
Should have retrieved the pieces of me
Give me that piece back
Imagine that
Being use to the chipping away at me
Like ice
So who will I allow to chip away at my piece of mind this time?
This is who I am this is who I be
I will be fine
Never realizing what I felt inside

So chip away
Chip some more
You chip twice you look pretty nice
What……….you know I am here you to
Sis, Cousin, Friend
I help everyone else
You see I forgot to help myself….
Dropped out school
There was not enough room for me in life….
I know that sounds trife
Quickly im breakin down
Drinkin and smokin was what kept me on tha ground?
Have sex with him in hope to get at least one piece of me back
But lost 5 more pieces in 10 seconds flat….
Watching kids
Watching my life turn into theirs
Not that im complainin
Plus what was wrong that, there was just not enough room for me!!
Started to feel crazy….. Am I comin or goin
Snappin, Cussin
My lil lady thought I was buggin
“Mom mom lets play this game….”
Sure sure just wait as I ran out tha door there’s a sick baby next door
Then I gotta help that lady cross Tha Street and we have to help Kim make her life neat
Sorry baby it’s just not enough room for us
Didn’t realize the game I was playing
Crazy, crazy, crazy was what I was become
Until that day…. That sparks of change
When I found myself, underneath everyone else’s mess
When I found me there was nothing left
How do I rebuild?
Do I ask for my pieces back?
Hey give me my chip pieces!!!..... That wouldn’t work
So I ask my lil lady if she minded something new
I told her I had to get me back and stop robbing you
She lit up like a light iam have my mommy back…
That was my conformation
You see the pieces of me
Was scatter all over the places
So I decided to relocate
Running from myself!!!!!!!!
Some mite say
I don’t think so
Running to me
the only way to save my faith
The me I miss
Its time get those new pieces
Its time for someone to pick up my slack

It time
Its time to make room

beautifulblkw,

Deep, deep and deeper...excellent flow, because of this, there is room now:

I don’t think so
Running to me
the only way to save my faith
The me I miss
Its time get those new pieces
Its time for someone to pick up my slack

It time
Its time to make room​
