I remember playing fool thinking my life was easy.
I remember walking down along the path laid before me.
But what do I do now when I know that the path has changed?
And all I'm left with is paper dreams; blood, sweat and tear-stained!

I regret being a foolish individual,
I never worked hard enough to be admissible,
Despite what my folks always did for me,
I always took it for granted like an idiot; thinking my life's free.

But now I've come to terms with the pain in front of me,
Even if I wish I was a better man, that's shit that I can't be.
But if you think I'm just going to sit here crying;
I won't be the last ragdoll that the lord left lying.

If all I have is my tongue, then that's what's left to work,
I'm scared about the future, those problems hurt.
But I know what I've got is what I'll put on this paper,
So I won't be putting away my tomorrow for later.
Before you go on, did you like my work? In that case, please :iconfavplz: and leave a comment!

Author's Comment:

My dear Chennies and Chennettes,

I present to you one of the realest poems I've ever written. This is something utterly close to my heart and that's why I chose to write it in more of an urban/rap style, since that is what I started my poetic journey with.

As always there is a youtube video to go along with it and I would really appreciate it if you just took the time to play the video, even if you don't stay till the end, those views are how I intend to earn my money, so that 1 minute of your time means everything to me.

I also didn't use any voice distortion in this piece, because I was reciting it in my urban accent and it sounds very different to my normal speaking voice.

I hope you enjoy!
