[hometext] => This is my testimony
[bodytext] => I’ve experienced a lot and ventured through many I’ve received a lot of things and it hasn’t always been good or plenty I’ve looked death in the eye and letting out a sigh I told him you will never take me and that isn’t a lie I’ve engaged in relationships, which I felt would carry though the years But all they have left me with is tears and fears I’ve seen things at an early age That some kids don’t even engage I’ve talked mess and picked fights Been locked outside for many nights Been beaten with belts and cords And my only cry was ol’ Lord Seen dead bodies in streets not in caskets Been labeled with other kids as bastereds Listen as the enemy told me I wouldn’t make it Told me I couldn’t fake it Told me forget it but I refused to quit it Been lied to all my life Been hit with pain, strain, suffering, and strife Been robbed of my chance to graduate on stage Been talked about and abused for so long it brought rage I’m surprised I didn’t end up on somebody’s front page Surprised I even lived to speak to you on stage Had curses spoken over me told me I wouldn’t amount to anything Had people come into my life who lit something or extinguished something Been liked and disliked and It’s still the same to this day I’ve been told I hate you and I don’t love you in every imaginable way Had dreams but see these weren’t your usual dreams These dreams deceived me to believe that things weren’t, as they seem That I was already dead had the devil in my head Matter of fact we slept in the same bed Yes the same bed I said Got a father at least I thought I did Never took the time to help my mom didn’t even buy me a bib Always having headache’s aspirin couldn’t even take away Stressed out from situations that occurred that I thought would never go away Surprised that my body made through each day Prayed at night so that my mind wouldn’t go astray Grandma died and so did all my encouragement and inspiration So did my mature ways, and my mature conversation So-called friends have my back one-minute and the next minute their gone And I’m left singing that same song “I have no more friends I’m all alone” Got plans to get a car And drive real far so I won’t have to live up to par With these street day dream visions Which lead up to collisions With mind blowing decisions and conclusions Head jacked up with messed up illusions Got nothing to live for besides to die Gonna die for living so the question is why Thoughts running through what am I gonna do The outcome and the answer is up to me not up to you Full of rage full of questions and I was left without a clue But though all this God was watching me, covering me, Guiding me, pushing me, and coinciding with me And even thought I don’t really express all this because some people will think I’m crazy and then there are some who will never understand But I can look back on all of that and with a strong and self-assuring voice say yet devil I still stand!

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
