"Strength to Overcome"
How is it that I can remain Strong
When I’ve been tormented for so long.
Suppressed,
By a substances song.
If life is a two way street,
The who do I seem to prolong
on this one way dead end.
Not a single soul I can trust as a friend
who doesnt want to condescend on me
As I decend to my world of pretend
where I refuse to mend, yet still comprehend
all the mixed vibes that people send.
at times I get a little off track
so I thought I’d bring it back,
just a little while ago I felt under attack .
so small, I could slip right through a crack
these eyes have fought so many tears
from my past years, I recalled old fears.
if I became weak, it was others who were ruining me,
In my very own community, where I deserved immunity
from these one sided, close minded opinions,
divided and misguided decisions.
Others laugh and joke
enclosed in a life of glass and smoke
No motivation or passion to cope
but I’m ready to smash that hope
so I share what I know
cause I care and I grow
and I put my Shit into words
so beware of my flow.
no one else could ever control me
cause not one person has ever felt my pain
or seen the flames, an acid rain
when it came and changed then rearranged
my strung out addictive brain.
this individual who was once beautiful and sane
become one trapped deep into addiction
let me simply explain I was strapped
to the Tracks of an oncoming train
still even then looking for a place to blame.
gaining the courage to tell the world I refuse to lay down
I will stand my ground when junkies bring you around
with this new profound sound.
this is MY world now. I’m the Queen,
and I cherish this crown.
