What a Life

'Sometimes I just got to sit here for real,
And I think, man, what a life, 
It seems that one moment I'm there, I'm here, then I'm there and then I forget how to feel,
Too focused that I cannot even allow myself to feel any strife,

It takes a whole lot of negatives for such a strong positive to underestimate His Greatness,
So I just live my life, work hard, have patience...
Know that my book is already written,
The way things are looking I just might truly live a life of blissfulness,

My heart had reached a point of exigence,
The age that I live in, this generation is changing existence, 
Perhaps, we got all these stories so twisted, 
Heck, what do we really know when we have forgotten how much, as one people, what to love and to live is,

My passion drives me more than the pain,
Because you take what has been given to you and then you have to take your aim,
Self-destruction, self-pity, self-loathing has never been my thing, 
But to grow as a woman, to gain wisdom, fulfillment of love, peace, and service to youth, administer my gifts and charity to those in need. 
This is not just something that I do. 

I follow a strict game plan, but I only do it daily, 
Because the future is clear, 
For it has been written,
And I know that through all trials and tribulations, 
His guidance, I cannot resist it,

From the darkness to the light,
I used to be so terrified,
Now I hold my head high,
Dance in the rain, 
Gone with the Wind,
Relieved, because I'd rather give than gainsay again,
Because though my heart may hurt, 
My spirit is strong, 
Even the wealthiest and seemingly powerful are forgotten as time continues on, 
But truly great legacies are everlasting,
 They are these little imprints left in a world that somehow went so horribly wrong.
